Can someone explain this

Biden could not get an official presidential airplane bring him DC.
The presidential aircraft are administered by the USAF so far as I know.
The USAF is part of the US military.
The National Guard is part of the US military.
The National Guard was brought in lockdown DC.

Why was the former not done, but the second one OK'ed?

How does this work?
Does one hand not know what the other is doing?

1201 Pm.. is the official time Biden became President.. Prior to that Trump was President.

Biden could have flown on a presidential aircraft.. but that would have req1uired the President to approve it..

The "asshole" President.. In one his final assholiness things. Would not give it to Biden

He's a fricken piece of work..

They should have circled with the Trumps until 12:02 then handed them parachutes.

Trump was still president when the National Guard deployed into DC.
Why didn't he stop that?

Because he get you to listen to his words that change.. Yet the only things that matters is his PLAN. When he felt it got bad enough.. when he felt Congress would realize they NEEDED him... when congress realized they couldn't control anything without him.. he would have sent them in...
But he was "circumsized"
Trumps plan was to NOT send in federal Forces.. He set up situations so that Federal forces would not be sent in IMMEDIATELY...
It was indicative of his authoritarianism and as Commander an Chief.. Those force were ONLY his to send in.. He would send them in.. when it suited him.. It was a power statement.
He lost and has been losing ever since

But the real losers were the protestors.. When trumps plan ..all along... was to throw them under the bus..

IT IS VERY SIMPLE REALLY. BIDEN CAN USE AIR FORCE 1 NOW HE IS ACTUALLY PRESIDENT. UNTIL THE END OF THE CEREMONY, HE WAS NOT.

Rent he was already impeached by the house of representatives for inciting the storming of the capital---standing ready for trial in the senate.

If he would have stopped deployment of the national guard and left it open for his followers to riot at the inauguration he would be behind bars today or the army would be searching for him. LOL
He was not that stupid although his followers may be. LOL
