Some of the 800 National Guard members deployed by President Donald Trump began arriving in the nation’s capital on Tuesday, ramping up after the White House ordered federal forces to take over the city’s police department and reduce crime in what the president called — without substantiation — a lawless city.
He’ll do anything to distract from the Epstein files.
Bibi taught him well.
Then again, his predecessors did the same.This isn’t a fucking distraction, this is the fascist takeover of our nation’s capital for fuck sake.
This is a test case for the future of every blue city in this country.
We need to keep the Epstein shit in the news, but not everything is a meaningless distraction from it.
This is very very very bad.
Por que no los dos
Army national guard sent to protect traitor felon rapist so that he can wipe his ass with the constitution the literal document the national guard swore to protect
This is a stain on the armed forces. Anyone in the Guard should be fucking embarrassed to admit what they do for a living.
That also goes for any other member of a military organization or agency that complies with orders like this.
It is a lawless city though. The other day there was a pedophile on top of the white house and he’s still there
You deserve a gazillion upvotes.
For copying the post from earlier today?
I’m narwhalling my bacon with two broken arms!
Nazi. They are called Nazis. Also, Trump fucked a child and he’s covering it up in the most obvious way.
i think more than one tbh, but yeah
TRAITORS
And oath breakers:
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Below is specifically the oath of office for national guard, which includes the lines I’ve put in bold…
I, (First, Middle, Last Name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State (Commonwealth, District, Territory) of against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of the State (Commonwealth, District, Territory) of ,
that I make this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the Office of (Grade) in the Army/Air National Guard of the State (Commonwealth, District, Territory) of upon which I am about to enter, so help me God.
Edit: I’m not defending the national guard soldiers, but they DO answer directly to the president as per their oath
If following presidential orders to do things that violate the Condition is ok, why can’t you disregard the president’s orders and adhere to the Constitution?
What makes one right and the other wrong?
I don’t have an answer, just showing that the wording of the national guard’s oath, being slightly different from the rest of the military, makes this a little more complicated than it should be
Don’t let this distract you from Epstein.
no actually. don’t let Epstein distract you from the fact that this is quite literally a fascist takeover of our government. yes, trump is a pedophile, but weve known this for years, there is no new information from the Epstein files regarding trump. the time to be angry about him being a pedophile was years ago, the time to be angry at a con man organizing a fascist takeover of the seat of our federal government is now.
I’m allowed to be angry about two things, so I’m good.
Yeah which is why this isn’t a fucking distraction and it’s getting tiresome seeing it in the comments of very fucking serious shit.
For real. The end result and what we want is the same, and it’s guided by much more than these two things. All of you that are pushing this “only talk about one thing” narrative either need to reevaluate the way you’re thinking, and if not, fuck off.
everyone in the epstein files should rot in a cell until the end of time. but that will never ever happen if people don’t start focusing on the more pressing things, like the takeover of our federal government. why would those files change anything right now? we know many people in power are pedophiles, and it’s pretty common that some big name gets discovered as a pedo and absolutely nothing changes. they rarely even lose their job. why would that change now?
y’all are chasing those files without realizing it’s a carrot on a stick, a tantalizing taste of actual change that will never have any effect until the other more pressing issues with our government are resolved.
One of those things is only making half of the country angry.
One of those is making 80% of the country angry.
Both.
Bold strategy, let’s see how it works out for him…
Amyone military that doesn’t refuse this order, they are a fucking traitor. I don’t care what the reason.
Agreed.
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
King Donny doesn’t want to see the poors on the streets. King Donny wants to rape your children.
These guardsmen should just take over the Whitehouse and remove Trump. Would be better for them and America.
Shh spoilers
We’d get the Taliban/daesh (The Base) coup version, rather than actual freedom fighting revolutionaries, because people are more scared of pinks than Nat soc
Potential murders arrived*
any politician, who wants to be a presidential candidate, needs to declare that when it’s over, they will all be declared traitors for violating their duties.
at best it might encourage more deserters. at worse it will show that they have guts.
This is to secure Washington for control and bigger takeovers to come
Is this something he can legally do in DC, but not other cities?
Testing the waters. Unchecked, these fascists will one day knock on your door. Decide now how you wish to answer them.
Sort of. It’s at least much much easier because DC is under the jurisdiction of Congress. The Home Rule Act allows 30 days with congressional notification. There’s no other governance structure to fight against.
If there was some real emergency and not just “Stop Talking About Epstein” in other parts of the country, the President can likely nationalize the local NG and direct them to go places and do things, but the governor and state legislature, and the state’s Congresspeople can push back. DC has none of those (sorry Eleanor Holmes Norton, not vote, no count).
Specifically, yes, though it is also specified for emergency use and is limited to thirty days. So basically he’s just doing whatever the fuck he wants and nobody with authority or means is stopping him. These are unlawful orders being followed by FUCKING COWARDS.
