A Washington Nationals pregame display involving U.S. Army parachutists briefly caused an evacuation at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. U.S. Capitol Police around 6:30 p.m. sent an alarming notice to Capitol Hill staff that it was "tracking an aircraft that poses a probable threat to the Capitol Complex."
Less than 20 minutes later, police sent an update: "The aircraft no longer poses a threat to the Capitol," and USCP said that buildings in the complex were being prepared for re-entry. Its message did not contain further information about the aircraft police had initially deemed a "probable threat."
According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Federal Aviation Administration failed to inform

The Capitol Police are not only murderers but incompetent to boot.

What? We’re you afraid it was a Military coup? Another “insurrection”? What a bunch of losers!

Anyone else note the fact there was virtually NO ONE in the stands at that game? I guess MLB doesn’t depend on the gate anymore but makes the money to pay the obscene salaries on TV.

Communication! Nobody thought to notify thr Capitol Police? The Capitol Police never questioned why they would be jumping over and into the stadium? There is no common sense in DC.

Fear is just one of the tools of the deep state. Was anyone except police in the capitol at 6:30 PM?

The Capitol and the stadium are blocks apart. So what was the stunt? Closing the Capitol or having the Army parachute into the stadium?

A major league baseball game contains an average of seven minutes of action during a four hour game. You gotta do something like this to wake up the fans.

The Keystone Kops got their signals crossed. The Nationals ballpark, by the way, is not near the Capitol and not within the Capitol Police's jurisdiction.

A plane and a lone parachutist and you would swear it's Red Dawn for the Capital Keystone Kops. This is hilarious now Schiff may need another investigation to get to the bottom of this.

This is hilarious. If the Capitol had any people who were worth a darn I might be concerned. It's also good intel for when the real thing becomes necessary.

To put that recent evacuation of the US Capitol into perspective. You must keep in mind the display of Capitol Police who appeared as witnesses before the congressional committees concerning their January 6th riot experiences to figure out the level of Capitol Police competence and politicization, that the Democrats who control the Congress, and the Capitol Police, believe that is good enough for “Government Work”.

Congresscritters were NOT even there...but that bit of info is saved to the last line of the story.
"Members of Congress are in their second week of recess and are not expected to return until next week."

AOC: Speaker Nancy! Help! Flying men are descending on the Capitol intent on raping me!
Speaker Nancy: Quick Steney, call "Quickdraw" Lt. Michael Byrd to shoot them!

Surprised the Capitol Police didn't open fire on the parachuters to stop the evil right wing white supremacist insurrectionists invading from the baseball field. Maybe all of the jumpers and people attending the baseball game should be jailed and held without charges for trying to overthrow the government.
