Thanks for the funniest line ever posted on SicEm.
Surely he forgot the emoji
"forgot" would be that day Nancy Pelosi forgot to deploy the 10k National Guard troops Trump approved to defend the Electoral Vote process
Debunked.

Not debunked. Stone cold corroborated fact.

CNN even reported it, pre-event. Those deployments were subject to Trump's order.

Pelosi is desperate to show she refused repeated requests from Capitol Police for more security, and that Trump had in fact authorized deployment of far more NG troops than were requested, far more than even Miller anticipated would be necessary. So they are spinning 6Jan as a Republican insurrection rather than a dereliction of duty by Democrat leadership.
Give it up, man. You can't rewrite history.
(but that's what progressives do....rewrite history)
And the GOP will turn the tables in about 10 months to document the truth.
Nothing in those links comes close to supporting your claim. It's the same information that's in the USA Today fact check -- Trump claims that he ordered 10K troops, but there's no record of any such order.
They document it. He authorized his SecDef to deploy 10k National Guard, and his SecDef ordered, in writing, a smaller number to arms. It was under that authority that NG troops were actually deployed. It's a very bright line clearly showing Trump was trying to deploy troops to protect the process. (because he intended to use that process to contest the election to the bitter end.)
A few articles have speculated (in passing) that Pelosi refused to request the NG because they were afraid Trump would use them to pull a coup. I agree that was a major reason she did not. It is a natural concern to have if one does not trust one's adversary.
Stop trying to spin misinformation into the mix. DHS is gearing up to smack people for doing that. Be careful!
The only activation that was ever ordered prior to the Capitol breach consisted of 340 troops requested by the mayor, through the commander of the DC National Guard, and approved by Secretary of Defense Miller. They were to be unarmed and deployed away from the Capitol. Trump was not involved in any way, as Miller neither asked nor required his authorization. There was a brief phone conversation on Jan. 5 in which Trump mentioned that they would need 10,000 troops, but there was no follow-up on either side, and no one else who was involved in any capacity thought it necessary. Miller apparently brushed it off as an exaggeration. So blame him for that if you want. At no point were there any troops at Pelosi's disposal, much less 10,000 of them.
Historical facts are quite clear: 1) Trump, the alleged insurrectionist, was more proactively seeking to defend process than anyone else on the stage at the moment, 2) his SecDef pre-approved (in writing) deployment of the DC National Guard QRF on 4 January 2021, 3) his SecDef told others he had Presidential authority to order thousands more, and 4) Pelosi neither requested more NG troops nor acceded to CapPO requests for more security measures.
you know, Biden is erecting a Department of Truth in the DHS to fight exactly the kind of misinformation you're spreading. Be very careful here..... 
Pelosi had no more to do with any request from the Capitol Police than McConnell did. That request, if it was made, came from the Capitol Police chief and was rejected by the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms. All three men have resigned, and the facts have been disputed. In any case there is no evidence that Pelosi denied the request or that she even knew about it. Several requests were allegedly rejected by the Pentagon on the day of the riot as well. Again that had nothing to do with the legislators. I'm no fan of Pelosi, but your attempts at victim-blaming are as ineffective as they are shameful.
CaPO asked House Sergeant at Arms, who must approve the request, for NG. HSA works for Pelosi. HSA rejected the request. Pelosi's position is not documented. But the additional security requested was not in place, despite having been pre-approved by the executive branch. And Chairman Lofgren (and others) were formally briefed on requests & status, so it's simply not plausible to assert Pelosi was out of the loop. At minimum, we know what her policy was, if not her answer, on the request = no. When asked by CaPO, McConnell's man, Senate Sergeant at Arms, suggested alternatives. (unacceptable, but not a flat refusal.)

https://thefederalist.com/2022/01/04/pelosi-is-blocking-access-to-house-january-6-records-what-is-she-hiding/You're flailing, despite being protected by the refusal of the Democrat controlled J6 commission to investigate the issue we're debating. Why would they not do that?
Far better to launch an investigation on GOP insurrection....create a narrative to deflect from truth.
