4500 National Guard in DC now.

I guess I never though of DC having a national guard, but they obviously do. Since there is no governor who commands them?

Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States.

Which is why you see all these pics of DC being ridiculously militarized in the streets - because it's the one jurisdiction in America under Trump's direct control.

I'm surprised Trump haven't revived the Nixon-era White House Guard uniforms - those were awesome. 😄

Trump's uniforms would have way more gold bling.

It is I think episode 4 of Spaceforce where you can see what it would look like.

Among other things, Trump repeats the lie that he gave Mattis the nickname Mad Dog.

"His nickname was 'Chaos', which I didn't like, & changed it to 'Mad Dog."

Trump has an odd psychological compulsion to have ownership over nicknames.

A guy on Twitter was going around photographing the various security forced deployed and asking them what unit they were. He said one of the units was Utah National Guard, so they might be importing some.

Yeah I saw that so far Utah, Ohio, South Carolina, Indiana, New Jersey, Maryland and Tennessee have sent or are sending the national guard to DC as requested. Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware have refused.

Yeah it's really dumb. The protests here are pretty peaceful, if intense (it's DC), and I'm sure the National Guard troops would rather be home than wasting their nights as Donald's toy soldiers.

I'd much rather have the Guard here than some of these executive branch police forces, though. Bureau of Prisons? Wtf?

Going to a (small) protest today near a local church. I am going to try to social distance as much as possible though.

Good luck and stay safe!
I would like to attend one of the protests in either DC or at least in the suburbs. It's difficult because of family though.

Let's hope Trump doesn't feel the need to kick the lot of you out so he can randomly wave his Bible around in your local church!

I'm thinking some big ropes of gold braid on the hats and maybe some gold stars ... oh and a bunch of meaningless medals, with Trump faces on them.
