National Guard in DC

[no_hypocrisy]

As DC crime has notably dropped, there may not be much for the Guard to do during The Occupation.

And they lack training on criminal procedure.

I predict a slate of false arrests as I’m certain that TSF expects a quota of arrests each day. (Think traffic tickets.). No crime? No problem. Arrest and tell it to the judge, provided the “perpetrators” aren’t denied their right to counsel and right to trial.

1. The NG is there to protect Trump and keep him in power.

Has nothing to do with the crime rate in DC

3. Yes, but also testing Guardrails for full LA and NYC takeovers

This is dangerous territory. Full blown NAZI, fascist takeover.

4. Yes exactly. This is one way Trump stays in power.

He takes over all the blue cities.

2. Local "news" station WTOP pissed me off again with their

Pro-TSF bias. They introduced the story by saying the President is “making good on his promise to lower crime and homelessness” in DC. An accurate statement would be that he CLAIMS to be taking steps to lower crime and homelessness, by sending in the National Guard, which critics have said is illegal.

5. Amazing he couldn't do this on Jan 6th to the insurrectionists.

States were volunteering their national guards.
