Definitely emptied the portaloos too.

It is so disrespectful towards the Guard & their commitment to public service. youtu.be/RZXsmicwSfI

It's all political Kabuki Theatre. In this day and age, EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL

Of course he doesn’t care, it’s all performative. They all just want to appease the great pumpkin

Obviously not! They are spreading mulch around monuments, which is obviously what they were trained for. Fantastic use of resources, great job Bill

I would ask the same of every red state governor who signed on to this stunt. It is despicable to treat the National Guard with this disdain. How disrespectful can you be to the U.S. military? This could cause mass resignations and readiness problems for all U.S. forces.

ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS POS ‼️‼️‼️‼️🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

How about, do they have a place to sleep and are they getting paid yet?

Yes. No. No.

Let's ask @govmikedewine.bsky.social the same question. Ohio National Guard members are in DC, instead of home with their families and at their regular jobs, exactly WHY???

No. Because all that matters is sucking trump's dick and facilitating fascism.

What's really tragic is if these Guardsmen wind up being needed at home to deal with some natural disaster and TACO telling them no, they have to stay in DC.

These men are humiliating themselves to be liked. Due to the lack of popularity,some of them are living a life they never had in high school.

This is key. These "men" never before experienced the thrill of thinking they were in the "In Group". They fantasized about what they'd do, if they had the chance to swagger about barking orders, getting praise, and feeling important. Hurting people for the fun of it, soothing their bruised egos.

Tbf cleaning up trash is a lot more productive than what they were sent there to do

Does he know what is not being done in his state while the soldier is away? Ask the businesses that these soldiers work for.

Gov. Bill Lee just figures that they are sticking it to people of color. He doesn’t feel like he needs to know anything more. Tennessee MAGA is as racist as it gets. Only Texas and Missouri MAGA are close.

The pedo party only cares about appeasing their pedo demi-god.

It should be very clear by now that conservatives don't give a shit about anything but trying to cover for the fact that trump rapes kids.

THAT WAS WOKE TRASH! THERE WERE M&M PACKETS WITHOUT THE SEXY GREEN ONE! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

I'm sure it's fine, I don't imagine any of them would rather be home with their families on Labor Day weekend.

I know where Lee should send the TN National Guard - MEMPHIS and the surrounding areas. While big cities will always have crime, it should be not a life or death decision every day. We lived north of Memphis and every day something bad happened there 😢

It's an abuse of those who enlisted in the state guard. They miss working their higher paying jobs (so their whole family pays a price), to serve as show ponies for a nasty, fat old man. Tennessee's governor failed his people. Again.

They're doing landscaping and trash removal because they have nothing else to do. The Army hates idle hands; there isn't any crime to suppress, so they get leaf-raking jobs. I once guarded a branch PX with an M-14 rifle for two days because I was temporarily out of work.

So in short, Governor Bill Lee is sending Tennessee National Guard troops to DC... to do Prison Work Detail that is normally done by convicts.

I’m sure all of the guard members employers fully support them picking up trash in DC

No he doesn't care, it's all political theater and none of them are going to realize nobody wants to watch their show until they get voted OUT!!!! EVERYBODY NEEDS TO VOTE!!!!!!

No, he does not know and no he does not care - it is just to appease an overgrown man child pulling their strings

c: Doesn't care. For the moment at least, they benefit from: FOX propaganda about the deployment. It keeps orange grandpa happy. The dupes are distracted from Epstein.

I doubt he cares.

Of course he doesn't care. It just makes him look good to the Felon.

Lee doesn't care. It's a bending of the knee to the Orange Shitgibbon thing. But at least they are guarding the best yogurt shop. Many people have come up to me and said "Sir, thank you for defending our yogurt. And they had tears in their eyes."

He knows, he does not care.

It's criminal garbage. They should start on Pennsylvania Avenue & empty the Whitehouse...

of course he doesn't care

Yes, no and no

Soldiers have to leave their jobs, the ones that are paying their bills when they’re called up. Their jobs are safe because of USERRA, but the paychecks stop, and the employer just lost an employee for the duration.

Gov Lee doesn't care. He's helping his hero Trump make tough-guy headlines.

It’s the GQP worship TFG cult, they don’t give a rats ass about their voters, so sending their guard means nothing😡

Nope, just blindly following orders. Like a good little Nazi.

Obviously, he sent them to DC to terrorize and intimidate people. Picking up trash and intimidating people at yogurt shops is just mission creep.

He doesn't care. He's only interested in doing what Trump wants.

Does Bill Lee care about anything much less TN?

How soon before Trumpuppet Propaganda Co. rebrands the trash task as a “morale building activity”? (Also seems many of the NG troops in the videos I’ve seen appear to be POC … if so, what’s Trumpuppet Co up to, here?)

A: Lee doesn't care. He's bought into the propaganda, most likely believes all of the lies this administration speed about crime, and is kissing the ring.

A little history "Brownshirts," were the Nazi Party's paramilitary wing, instrumental in Hitler's rise to power. Initially formed to protect Nazi meetings, they evolved into a force of intimidation and violence, playing a key role in disrupting political opposition and terrorizing minority groups.

I’m willing to bet they’re all on 29-day orders so they don’t get any housing pay either.

1) Not his problem. 2) D'a think? 3) LOL, LMAO even.

BAOTUS (BIGGEST ASSHOLE OF THE UNITED STATES 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Why doesn’t Trump send them into the neighborhoods where the most crime in DC is being committed?

Too dangerous for heavily armed troops

Fuck the National Guard for not defending freedom from tyranny. They might as well be ICE agents. They should be ashamed for breaking their oath to the Constitution.

Send these people back to their families and jobs..this is not what they signed up to do!!!

They don't care, as long as Trump is happy. This is so disrespectful of these troops who have left their homes, families, and jobs.

Easy answer: No, he doesn’t care that he has uprooted guard members from their daily lives for an imaginary emergency. Being in Trump’s good graces is what motivated these dipshit governors to do that.

Yeah, that’s a real point. It’s one thing when you’re doing police call and going back to your family - it’s another when you’re sent multiple states away to do police call.

He doesn’t care about anyone but the orange blob

Isn't Memphis #1 or #2 in crime? Why doesn't Lee "fight crime" by sending the Guard to Memphis? Is he governor of Tennessee or governor of Washington DC?

I’ve read Memphis has dropped to #8 this year. This started shortly after they elected a Democrat as Mayor.

He is neither. Only in name. Worst, aka governor, ever!

Hey, they are doing other stuff too! Like spreading mulch.

Catching sandwiches…

😄😅😂🤣
