It's not a missile launcher but a missile transporter.

Still, WTF would they need something like this at the inauguration for?
Makes one think that there are ICBM silos in Washington DC.... right?

I think this strengthens the talk of a genuine threat on the day of inauguration, these wouldn't of been put there for show and I dont remember them being deployed for other inaugurations.
There would of been a substantial amount of red tape to get through to have them there and a good reason would of had to have been presented

They could only have been used in a counterstrike, ICBMs aren't defensive weapons.
This is very weird.

Honestly nothing surprises me anymore.
And to that tune.
Proud boys leader was a federal informant.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - "Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group, has a past as an informer for federal and local law enforcement, repeatedly working undercover for investigators after he was arrested in 2012, according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of a 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by Reuters."
Who didnt see that coming..

I didnt realise they were ICBM, last I'd heard they were patriot missiles. I must of missed that reveal somewhere, sorry.

Yeah, the more I look at it, those missiles would be too small to be ICBMs. Tomahawks, maybe? Perhaps there were ships or submarines near DC that were considered potential targets?

Just some Symbolism curiosity
Kamala Harris's Sorority (mentioned pages back)
Alpha Kappa Alpha
AKA - not to be confused with the AKC lol
Note the handshake at the top
Pearls are a symbol of her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, and she wears them as a symbol of solidarity with her sisters. “Family is my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha,” she has said.
AKA was the first African-American Greek-letter sorority, and its founders are referred to as the “Twenty Pearls.” Pearls have long been the emblem of the sorority, and every new member is given a badge with 20 pearls.
Pearls have been tied to our notion of femininity since ancient times. In ancient Greece, the goddess Venus was said to have been born from the sea and was often depicted emerging from a clamshell. Over the ages, pearls have represented purity and virginity, and in modern times, a strand of pearls conveys that the wearer is dependable, ageless and measured.
The significance of the Coat of Arms is found in the various symbols which taken together mean, through KKnowledge, Culture, Wisdom, Endurance and Justice, fostered by Sisterly Love, we extend service to all mankind.
