We mobilized the Army for vagrants? I lived in DC for 10 years and have worked in DC for 25 years, never have I needed the Army to protect me from vagrants around Union Station.

What Union Station is Vance talking about? This is where reporters need to push back on this nonsense.
He’s full of shit. 🤬🤬
Why is he in DC and not on another vacation?
Yeah but were you on your way to a country club?
Absolutely wild. Union station is a reasonably upscale mall/transit hub that thousands and thousands of people traverse every day. It's NOT a high crime area. No one feels unsafe there. These people are not serious.
It’s clearly just a lie to provide pretext.
The only vagrants in DC are members of this administration.
and DC should not be a place for a 34 count convicted pedo, but here we are..
Ohhhhhh I see. VAGRANTS = CRIMINALS now. Thanks for that clarification, JD Nazi Shithead!
DC is over-run with EWB - Existing While Black. Clearly crime.
Guess who the vagrants are probably going to get to decide their fate? bsky.app/profile/ryan...
Everything is all about you and your safety? What about the safety of women and children. What about the safety of each individual you write off as a “vagrant” what about them? They don’t deserve help, shelter, food, counseling. Maybe tough love forcing some to get help they need is good for all.
Trump is rich white trash. There, I said it.
The are such fraidy cats.
What always strikes me is how defensive and whiney they sound when they are questioned about their policies. They constantly live in their right wing bubbles, where they just can't believe that maybe a solid majority doesn't love what they are doing.
whatever building those two are in, there are always 2 criminals there
Anyone or thing conservatives don't understand they fear.
It’s a short step back to debtor’s prisons
lil'jug dip is eating a big pile today. Must be the fucking goons and clowns at his side. magaTs one and all. The real reason they are out in force is to protect piggident rumper the pedo from the ghost of Epstein past.
Loitering. The silent crime.
Remember that Vance needed the entire group of army corps of engineers to raise the water level in the Little Miami River so he and his birthday guests fat bottoms didn’t drag down the water in Ohio for his kayaking fun. His solutions along with Hegseth, add to the debt & chaos .
More bullshit JD Loves Couches...🤣
DC crime rate is the lowest its been since the 1960's www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
FOTUS Puppet.
That is one lying mother fucker
And the food delivery guys.
"crime"
I'M IN TOTAL ABSOLUTE AGREEMENT WITH YOU👍🏿👌🏿
For years, I rode the trains from Union Station twice or more per week at very early and very late hours. Not once did I feel unsafe. This is pure white-male insecurity grabbing at any excuse to deploy military assets in a civilian context.
Oh look, Dumb Dumb Vance and Nosferatu were there.
It’s an optical illusion… if you look past the three clowns doing a press conference, there is a perfectly natural world and society in the background
So now it's come down to 'protecting' the country from vagrants and food delivery people.
I saw a video of FBI agents apprehending fare evaders. Imagine going though all that training to become an FBI agent just to arrest people jumping turnstiles.
I’m sure he meant to say, “Vagabonds.”
God, he’s lame!
Protecting themselves from something we don’t know about yet.
I see them😂
This will upset a lot of lobbyists that hang out there
These two men are just tools. They couldn't find the Posse Comitatus Act if it bit them in the ass; let alone understand the reason for NOT using military for civilian policing.
Every city big or small, red or blue has vagrants. Is that the standard? Clown show.
"Federalized" D.C. is the test-bed for National Martial Law!Probably arriving in about 6 months!
Guess the Couchscrewer never saw Rambo.
This idea sells to rural MAGA who don’t travel much anywhere lol
JD is a comedian. With nice eyeliner.
And vagrants are the "national security emergency" used to justify this fascism? Will the courts ever put a stop to this nonsense?
You're probably also not a fragile and scared dude who lives in a bubble of fear and doesn't actually know much but is good at projecting your own fears on others
“Pussies scared of the knock out game” They legalized crime for a few years and things got sketchy. Did you not expect reaction?
Nothing says “not a pussy” like getting jumped by two teens and needing the army to come in after, sure is the opposite of big balls.
Big balls had his lady get in the car and get away while he took the beating. Real pussy behavior 😏 Trumps taken it as an excuse to lockdown Dc and let people start carrying long guns in the street, all just in time for the return of comgress
Congress that avoids releasing the files for your favorite illegitimate pedo president ?
Corporate class toadies who bend the knee to the intel agencies. Why you think neither side let it out?
I know why, elites are self serving. It’s why I prefer the progressives that aren’t & why you vote for child predators that are self serving like the absolute retard that you are.
Somebody in the West Wing has been watching First Blood.
Miller isn't as tough as you are, sir. I'm fairly sure Miller isn't tough at all. A thin-skinned, loudmouthed bigot, yes. Tough, no.
"We have vagrants, drug addicts, the chronically homeless, the mentally ill." (Vance) What is your administration doing to help these people? What are your theocrat "Christians" doing for them? And sadly these people exist in every big city, why call in troops to Union Station? #EpsteinFiles
Went through Union Station every day for 20 years. The homeless walked through there during the day and were never a problem. We had a few favorites that we actually enjoyed seeing. If I recall correctly the Post even did a story on some of the regulars.
And those "vagrants" include veterans.
They love punching down.
Where are these citizens supposed to go? When Medicaid cuts fill streets from closed nursing homes with people who can't care for themselves will they be left in fields to die or put in concentration camps with other Untermench (undesirables) ? The GOP are capable of anything Nazis did.
Rule of thumb: With this administration, if they're speaking, they're lying.
If being homeless becomes a crime your prisons will be full of veterans
Seems like an expensive way, as well.
🖕These Two SCUMBAG'S!!!!
Just Dingleberry Vance
That trash actually thinks being homeless is a crime. What an elitist, cowardly, heartless POS.
Also, if you're Army and this is what you've been deployed to do, please speak up, because honey, you bein' USED.
These snowflakes would
Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe you’re not a little bitch and Miller + Vance are? And bc no doctors would write a prescription for their emotional support racism, they’re really having a tough time these days. Being a little bitch is a serious condition that affects countless Reps 😢
Home the homeless, JD 😎
It was planned all along but the timeline was moved up because of the epstein files. They are gonna get the guns next
If he would leave, so would the vagrants…
These "alpha males" are some of the softest, scaredy cat milquetoasts. The wussy chode, JD Vance, needs the military to protect him from the homeless. He needs to shut down Disney from the public to ride Space Mountain. He needs the Corps of Engineers to add water to the river so his kayak floats.
🤷
90% of the people who live in DC are not Black. But, no, the correct percentage would not make him less of a hater.
Vagrants aren’t criminals, so-called Christian JD.
The three stooges.
Vagrancy laws were struck down in 1972 by SCOTUS. Vance is trying to criminalize homeless people. Eight vacations in seven months. He's so bad at upholding fascism.
Trump has proposed changing the name of the station to Soviet Union Station.
J.D. Vance's argument IS BULLSH*T! #StopTheMilitaryTakeover
Could Vance be any more of a lying fragile snowflake?

Boy, Vance is really a pathetic person. Scared of vagrants, people experiencing homelessness and people eating cats and dogs! At this point he should just focus on vacationing for the next three years.
Wrong again JD. Always a loser.
I feel like he said vagrants, but he wants to say vermin.
Shut them all up.
We live in the world of the angry white man
What about old white hippies ? 😂
Don't forget about being knee deep in crusty jugglers.
FFS
Do vagrants pose enough of a 'national emergency' that justifies deploying the military that is *NOT* in violation of Posse Comitatus? 🤔
Yes, but you see, you're not a racist @bradmossesq.bsky.social
They are Union Station vagrants. They started the Korean War, ya know.
Did he also list "rats" as an issue for the National Guard??????
These weenies Absolute Cowards. Never have I seen least masculine than republican weenies
Um sorry but why can’t the DC police handle this? Answer because they have. Omg heaven forbid rich white folk see people less than them. Hell just make DC a “gated city”. When will there be requirement to wear the Nazi symbol to be in DC?
That little bitch forgot they’re the ones that stopped the Korean War. They’re the ones that stopped the Vietnam war they’re the ones that died at Kent State! fuck him.
Puss that's what vance is
That’s the 3 biggest pussy’s in the country. Even trump has more balls than these little pencil necked geeks.
JD Vance is a sick fuck who has burned away any last vestiges of empathy and compassion he may once have had.
“The Three Vagrants”
Squandering resources and good will like there’s no tomorrow (maybe there isn’t?) 🤦
bsky.app/profile/toda...
There's a federal law against vagrancy? What's the citation please.
I asked a skinny young SC Nat’l Guardsman dejectedly “guarding” a bustling L’Enfant Metro platform, Does DC seem as scary to you as people said? “No.” Homesick kid drafted into the Fascism Theater Company™️. #FreeDC
American Alpha is odd mixture of bravado and hysterical fear of others.
I see at least 3 vagrants in this clip, both of whom need to be jailed before any of the ones they see on the streets of DC.
The vagrants are eating the cats.....
“Monument to Ametican greatness…”. Hey Vance. We’re not great anymore.
Yeah, we're looking at the vagrants now (in that clip), they're from the WH.
The sad truth is homeless people are victims of crime more often than they are perpetrators.
Vagrants are people too and deserve to be treated as fellow human beings.
torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/white-milk...
Even Fox reports that this is backfiring.
Who would have thunk it....SMH
Slam the restaurant doors in the faces of the MAGA. If they slip in, heckle and boo them, and "thumbs down" them, repeatedly and relentlesly. Make their outing miserable. They deserve to be socially shunned and humiliated. White supremacist thugs. They don't belong in polite society.
Brad, our city is practically CRAWLING with Newsies!
Yeah, but have you considered also the growing population of ragamuffins?
Let’s not forget the street urchins… and hobos…
And the wait ohhhh those waifs
Vagabonds too!
Basically group that Hedley Lamar rattled off in his speech in Blazing Saddles. "...and Methodists!"
Are there scoundrels too?
And scallywags!
100%, and they all return to dc from recess in September. Dc on lock down and people get to carry long guns in dc?
It's amazing to me that anyone can support Republican politicians that lie so readily, and so obviously, as the current administration and GOP Congress. Sadly, it's all too common that politicians conflate, exaggerate, or lie. But, Republicans have now made it a platform virtue.
Meanwhile, creating more homeless by firing ppl, hurting businesses, immigrants can't work, cutting benefits and more! Prepared to sell them to private prisons.
They are preparing to do some really wicked sht and want the military already in place to protect them in DC. Meanwhile, they're using tanks & military against homeless & rats! White hippies next per Miller's threat!
I am thinking something big will happen after 'summer recess', when congress comes back in session. Hope Dems are ready, 'cuz Epstein is going to be the least of our problems.
Vance's credibility is low and getting lower every day and it is because of statements like this.
It's all a performance. Nothing they ever say will be the truth. It's only lies for them.....ALWAYS!
These guys sure are afraid of a lot of things that my daughter isn’t.
You must not be a snowflake ❄️
Scared
Yep they've also turned 20-year FBI veterans into meter maids. I imagine the moral is down in the dumps.
In 2021 criminals broke into a federal building, stole equipment, beat LE officers, and tried to kill people. The Army was not called.
I think we all need to agree that if another insurrection happens, we just have to convince Trump/Vance that the people are making them feel bad and/or guilty or impeding the view so they'll choose differently.
This time they are using the military to do the insurrection.
The Three Stooges
Who are they going to go after next? The hobos?
Mimes
They’re saving lives. That guy could have DIED in that invisible box.
Rambo was arrested for being a vagrant. And he was a vet and war hero.
Didn’t he end up as an insurgent in Afghanistan?
Why didn't someone listening to this lying pile of crap ask him how many mothers with little children were victims of crimes in Union Station?
How would Vance know?! He just came back from a family vacation in the Cotswolds in England renting a million dollar house. BTW, it’s his 7th (SEVENTH) major vacation since becoming our VP in January.
Pete Hegseth needs 500 federal agents to protect him and some family members from sandwich throwing vagrants. Tens of millions of dollars for this wimp!
What they're doing by putting all those troops in DC is destroying businesses who are rapidly losing customers. Dealing with Trump's tariffs already, all those nice small businesses will soon be closed thanks to Trump & JD.
It’s closer to the food hall.
How ironic for Vance to rail against ‘the mentally ill who harass, threaten violence, and attack families’ when that’s a spot-on description of himself, Stephen Miller, and Trump.
Plus, and fundamentally, vagrancy is not a crime under the DC Criminal Code. So there's that, too.
Is that a crime, though?
No words.
they are snowflakes
bsky.app/profile/stmd...
It’s all performative and designed to intimidate and make everyone fearful.
Moronic moron.
And on the other hand, people feel highly unsafe with masked gestapo disappearing people, cops helping them out and military personnel there for intimidation purposes. Give me a poor homeless person any day of the fucking week.
"But they're icky!!!"
Snowflakes
Vagrants are people. Hippies are people. 90 yo’s are people. Latinos people are people. Homeless people are people. Undocumented migrants are people. We are all people. What would Miller do with his life if he didn’t spend it othering everyone?
bsky.app/profile/theo...
bsky.app/profile/sfcp... 79% - does that COUNT!
He thinks it’s a crime that someone would ask him to part with a dollar.
You could probably give each "vagrant" $1500 and it would be a fraction of the cost of an occupying force
But they don't "deserve" that money! They're homeless! That's immoral! All jokes aside, they'd rather crash the economy than let a single dollar fall into the hands of someone who didn't "earn it" (inheriting money counts as earning it, somehow).
Morality is a smokescreen. They’re concerned with long term “motivation” to work harder and be more productive. Can’t just let people live. All those dystopian scifis where air costs money weren’t just meant as absurdist humor; it’s merely an eventuality of how things work now.
They'd rather burn the country down than share it with "those people." White supremacist fools.
I read $440,000/day for DC
Old BJ Vance sure knows how to tow tRumps company line doesn’t he?🙄
They’re trying to boost recruitment. Nothing more patriotic and manly than…arresting vagrants.
Biggest wimps alive with no street savvy. I'm an old lady who has never been afraid going in and out of Union Station. Reminds me of the military personnel & families who were afraid of going off the installation during their overseas postings. Missing so much out of unfounded fear.
Sending the army to round up verlans is peak MAGA
The three stooges are smarter than these ding bats
💔
hey jd, how much money did you make off of your little book & movie, which featured the fact that your own MOTHER was a "drug-addicted vagrant"?
The soldiers of army take care of vagrants and hookers who are roaming there in the streets...
We need to end this now and the National Guard needs to put their s*** down and walk away. Because they are an embarrassment to our country.
He speaks like he’s in a high school debate. His words are so empty.
I visit DC for a few days almost every summer. Sure there are some vagrants hanging around just like in every medium to large sized city in America. They have never bothered me. It's all bullshit, they just want DC to turn into a military fortress because Trump likes it. I am done visiting there.
NOPE! GOP and KKKs are the Only Criminals there!
Back in the eighties I had a friend who left an abusive relationship and asked me to pick her up at Union Station at 3am. I didn’t need the Army to protect me as I drove alone to get her. Vagrants aren’t the problem in DC, politicians are
I have never seen three more frightened men. Given the positions they hold, its at once sad, hilarious, and frightening.
Dc take over you are allowed to carry long guns there. Bigger fish they are about to fry than petty criminals
Everything that comes out of this fascist, traitorous regime is bullshit!
Vance: Don’t look at my finger, look at what I’m pointing at (I.e., poor people with brown skin)
Thank God we’re having them do something where they can put their extensive training & weaponry to work—rounding up poor mostly mentally ill vagrants—brave souls our troops!—& not have to do something that would actually require courage & skill like storm Normandy—or go after the felon in the WH
How many of those vagrants are combat veterans?
Bingo
They took 20 armored and armed men to arrest a guy that threw a sandwich. Absolute snowflakes.
Clearly you are not a fragile as MAGA Republicans.
Yes those people detract from The Aesthetic and are thus illegal
FUCKING FASCISTS!
Ridiculous
