Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.

He's targeting Blue cities only, of course it's about the elections.
Were people REALLY thinking that under the regime of someone who said “you will never have to vote again…!”, free and fair elections (i.e. not the Putin variety) might take place? 😂🤦🏻♂️😂
might be?
I think this is more likely to happen as to not. At this point in his political career, he does not want to leave the Oval Office. If a Democrat takes the WH in 2028, there is still a good probability that he could be re-indicted on the charges from the Smith investigations.
If not dead, I think trump will be wandering and wetting himself by then.
It's why Trump had the parade. To see if he could mobilize troops and tanks to DeeCee to defend him hold up in the White House. Probably left equipment hid-out so it would be immediately available. He's already bragged he wasn't going to run for office again. Believe him.
Trump is creating his own stormtroopers... it has been done before, but some still seem to think democratic actions are the solution to control this would be dictator... I'm afraid they are not enough. The midterms will have to show it. In any case, he will not go voluntarily...
Democratic mayors and governors need to start planning to ensure everyone who wants to vote can vote -safely
"Mental illness", autism, Alzhmrs can b treated safely w turbinate surgery sinceJan'01. Changes blood flow. I found error. MDs damage w meds. MDs/DC dont like my story so wont fix. Torture by MD/exBF at elite US hosp'99. Beware National Guard. Homeless have a story2 tell. The bonus? Extra blood flow
“Raises concerns”?????? Exactly who wrote this??
Duh! The time to be concerned has long passed We must act Now
Yes, we need to be prepared for the power grab, will the national guard follow dump or will they protect the people from dump.
Well of course he is. Trump cannot win without cheating. And Republicans have alienated too many key demographics at this point. They have to engage in voter intimidation and suppression to win. This is a Machiavellian power grab.
What polls? You really think this isn’t leading to a declaration of martial law and suspension of elections?
Might be??? Rig state districting to add R wins. Require specific ID form. Fed control vote counting. Fed control rejection of mail in ballots. Fed ban mail in ballots. Vote suppression laws. Propaganda for the "poorly educated".
That’s his plan.
I agree.
Are the NG not the “well regulated militia” of the 2nd Amendment? Should they not be the ones defending the states against the tyranny of the federal government? Genuine question.
That's how I read it. The National Guard, commanded by the Governors, should be protecting the state from Federal invasion of the US military.
Why are the MSM not discussing this?
An American Airlines plane hit a black hawk helicopter today. FYI. And someone was throwing stuff out the white house windows this morning.
It should raise concern over a coup not election interference.
Might be? There is no question that they will try to interfere, because cheating is the only way they can win.
What about this year -- in vote rich Northern Virginia? Who would stop National Guard in DC from entering Northern Virginia? What would Governor Youngkin do?
You’re sounding like fucking morons. Yall need to take this shit seriously. “Raising concerns” my ass!
Wake up people
Better not! I swing a mean cane and am not afraid of hurting them if they get in my way.
“Might be”? Of course they will.
The hurricane Katrina documentary: Race Against Time shows exactly what happens when the National Guard are prejudiced against citizens & treat them as enemies & not as the fellow humans they are meant to protect. This documentary is about much more than the hurricane. It’s excellent. On Hulu.
The scene where the General is yelling at the Guardsmen to lower their weapons was shocking. The Guard was called out to help people and the General shows up to find them with their guns aimed at citizens. It was disgraceful.
Very powerful. It was such a good reminder to see power used compassionately. He understood why people were taking things from stores, because they were not getting their needs met. They were trying to survive and help each other survive. Institutions were failing them. So many lessons for us today.
He is wasting tons of our money
Given the pedophile in-chief's current health condition I highly doubt that he will be alive next November. 🤞 The administration will most likely be in disarray because even though couch fucker will be president he doesn't have the sway over the base or trump's so-called allies to be effective.
Neither of them have been in charge. It's the 2525/Thiel gang.
Duh
Not if states put in the proper guard rails, since states run elections, not the federal government.
National Guard weaponized? I hope they all are. They are defenders of US. Trump “politicized” use of military. Military should always be weaponized.
Ya think?
Might be???? Please. The pedo-pres wants absolute power.
Fun Fact.... ....the National Guard is ~75% white ....while the regular armed forces ~50% white that's why Trump prefers to use the National Guard over regular troops
Yes! Fear it! He won’t risk a democratic victory!
