Win of the FUCKING INTERNET TODAY.

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.

would pose that as a question:

"Karoline, doesn't the president's deployment of the National Guard in the streets of D.C. demonstrate that it was President Trump and not Nancy Pelosi who withheld the Guard from intervening on January 6th?

President Pedo, TACO, and now, TOO LATE.

“Too late”—isn’t that what President Pedo calls Jerome Powell because the commissioner won’t give him interest rate reductions? Quite frankly, I think the moniker “Too Late” applies to President Pedo. It appears he’s 4+ years too late calling in the National Guard. Where would we be now if the Jan. 6 riot had been quickly quashed?

The uprising as it happened gave us Mitch McConnell a chance to get rid of Trump, but he passed.
It showed us Trump's true colors, but they elected him anyway.

(and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), I believe that it is also prohibited for him to activate them for domestic law enforcement operations. There are some exceptions in that rule that I believe he is stretching beyond their limits in doing this though. I would be interested in seeing if this action can survive a legal challenge (which I am pretty sure will be coming very shortly).

A cousin of mine attended the US Military Academy, retired with a full pension, went to med school on the taxpayers' dime, and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. He has always been a right winger, and over the years we have drifted further apart. I could care less if I ever see him again.

Now a wealthy retired doctor he has gone Ultra Maga fueled to a large extent by his disgusting racism. He is also a believer in the ridiculous BS that Nancy Pelosi was responsible for the carnage on January 6 because she failed to call up the DC National Guard. That was not within her purview to do so. The insurrectionist, Donald T, was the guy with the duty to call up the NG, but as we all know he was on the side of the 'patriots' for whom he expressed his love that day.

Yet, 77 million morons voted for that wretch of human filth last November. I hope they will also suffer along with the rest of us as he and his gangsters destroy our nation.
