How is this a good use of law enforcement? Once again we are seeing showy display in lieu of meaningful substance.

This is Donald Trump's attempt to enforce his executive order that rounds up homeless & mentally ill people. It will be ugly & inhumane. youtu.be/2b1cPgsYe9E
We all know the FBI is an elite police force focused on special crimes. Now they have become the secret national police. Chapter 2 isn't going to be any fun for anyone.
He’s always putting on a tv show.
What if DC just happens to have everyone call out sick? 👀 👀
It’s crap. (Forgive my language)
We have to stop thinking this makes sense to anyone. Anyone who’s doing it apparently has no sense.
Its a test run. He will be going deeper and broader with each instance where he deploys military and DOJ resources to patrol in places he doesnt like. By 2028 they will be in place like chess pieces for when he declares martial law, and suspends elections.
So they can remove those violent, dangerous, homeless criminals from the streets? Flex for me.
It's beginning....... Ready to do anything yet?.... No?.... Well.. Don't say you haven't been warned
We're seeing supercharged distraction.
Titler having flashbacks of his base turning on Mike Pence. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Considering this latest action is likely another distraction from the Epstein files it’s a terrible use of the FBI agents
The first mistake is believing it is just a distraction. This is the goal.
He’s chumming the waters for his base. It’s all he or they care about.
I think it is worse than that. This is a trial balloon for the Yarvin fever dream of tech bro city states they want to rule. It’s nuts.
Cost of this ???
Do they have to wear their white dress shirts and neckties?
This is the beginning of the manufactured crisis Trump needs to declare Martial Law. Trump just lit the fuse that will metaphorically burn down the Reichstag and immigrants and Democrats are going to be the metaphorical Dutch Communist. Under Martial Law there are ZERO civil rights. ZERO!
The real goal here is to create a lock down barrier between this admin and anyone coming into the city so they have a handle on everyone. It shuts down protesters, and creates an impenetrable military wall..bc he knows what comes next will cause much anger.
Just beta testing the national martial law rollout.
Just another brainy idea the boys came up with after another coke-filled all nighter. I wonder if these guys have any idea the number of voodoo dolls with their faces are floating around out there in the world.
This is just part of Trump’s pledge of “Retribution”! It has no practical purpose
On homelsss people…the FBI…?
What you're seeing is training exercises for marshal law, also intended to weed out the 'weak' and 'woke'. The Gestapo was created by Hermann Göring in 1933 by combining the various political police agencies of Prussia into one organization. Sound familiar? Just a game theorist's point of view. 💁
Trump wants to take over Wah DC because he lost the DC Bar election. If DC is federalized the DC Bar might lose its separate entity status, correct?
An absolute waste of resources.
You’re right. And I wonder where he’s planning to send the homeless.
That's my big concern, especially as he's about to activate a bunch of National Guard soldiers, who will be basically sent into DC and whipsawed between whatever priority Trump and Stephen Miller feel is important on any given day and he mentioned homeless people in his Truth Social post...
In California, Trump activated the guard, Newsom fought him on it in court and they wound up with the guard "protecting" Federal officers and buildings but not making arrests outright. With DC's unique status as a city under Federal control, there's no governor to stand in his way...
My guess is that, for the most part, the National Guard will initially wind up "guarding" Federal buildings that are already adequately protected and this will be readily apparent as a waste of time and money and he'll look for something else for them to do to justify it...
My big concern is that this will turn to ordering them to clear homeless encampments, throwing away their possessions and leaving them without shelter, and I'm wondering if his authority extends to that in DC because of its unique status.
It’ll be the 1930s debacle of the USArmy (led by MacArthur w his aide Young Ike) breaking up the Bonus Army So many of the homeless are vets
Very likely.
As always, he's likely to just do whatever he wants and wait for a court to stop him and he can do a ton of damage before that happens, if it happens.
This how “policy” decisions are made in our new dictatorship. Trump sees something while driving home from the golf course, everyone falls in line. Until he needs another distraction on Wednesday if not sooner.
I’m predicting a lot of racial profiling is about to happen.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Tell me what Kash Patel would have had them working an otherwise. We know it wouldn't have been what they are trained for, and it might not have been lawful.
WTF?
Who better to preside over a White House news conference on crime than a felon convicted on 34 counts?
What you see is terrorism.
Speaking of showy displays… Also not a good use of your tax dollars Good thing eggs are free
Better than that, eggs are down in price 500%. Trump's math, not mine. ;-)
all a distraction from the Epstein files and the tariffs that are crushing American business and tax payers
Trump got his massive iCE increase, distrusts other federal law enforcement, and hates FBI. All the nonsense work FBI is getting may be just another demoralization campaign on an organization the Project 2025 guys hate - because FBI investigated Trump. They want agents to quit.
Brown people better stay out of Washington because the fbi and the guard will Protect iceraids. Stepping it up daily. Closer to autocracy.
And crime has dropped and now metro police and mayor don’t get credit cause he lies.
So “ big balls “ 🤣🤣🤣 gir his ass kicked by children and now trumps gonna look tough by sending the FBI to patrol streets? And on that note what was el Grande cojones doing out at 3 am anyway? Doesn’t he have some pensioner’s to rob or something?
Big Balls was buying crack and wanted to give a bj. Things went south. DOGEshit in action.
Sounds about right
This is all about the republican party taking violent control of communities that have elected democratic party governments.
Andrew, and now....what about THIS?? Would love to hear your take..

And agents have to be so distracted from paying attention to their regular duties. I fear it’s only a matter on time before something is missed.
"The reassignment of FBI agents has further demoralized some agents in the Washington Field Office" + The 'nice guy' quote reminds me of this (about protecting the head when putting someone in the police car): www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Criminally incompetent.
Andrew although not a president doing it but yes the national guard was called out… remember Kent State? We need to be reminded of that tragic loss! I was in college in Ohio when it happened.
Isn’t that the point?
he trying to take control of DC away from the Mayor and congress. ?
IT'S A FUCKING DISTRACTION FROM EPSTEIN JUDGE SLAP DOWN!!!
Worse: these agents had other things to do. There are opportunity costs.
How can he use FBI agents for this? I wager most of the crimes aren't federal.
Trump's DC stunt is giving heavy Bear Patrol vibes. From an episode that was, appropriately enough, about a politician scapegoating undocumented immigrants to distract from his own incompetence and corruption.
Now who’s gonna Sharpie out Trump from all those Epstein files?
The Trump admin isn’t capable of making policies or laws with positive outcomes! He’s all about the chaos!
Now Trump and Crazy Eyes have FBI agents as beat cops???? Those idiots really don't know WTF they are doing.Unbelievable.
It isn’t a showy display - it is the meaningful substance of creeping (galloping) dictatorship.
This is NOT a good use of law enforcement. It’s another step closer to complete authoritarian dictatorship. His next step will be to arrest Dems. (Then one has to ask, when will we all receive big tattoos with the letter D followed by a number?)
It’s not, he’s ridiculous and dangerous.
Deployed in the streets or around the White House?
the show is everything to them, and sadly, much of society. Unless they don't see something happening, "They" must not be doing anything. Gone are the days when people did their jobs and it was ok for most people not to notice.
Trump believes all there is is showy display.
I think we all know it's not, but the goal is to distract from the economy, genocide, Ukraine, and last but not least his friendship with Epstein.
It’s completely enraging so it’s good Epstein-distraction fodder.
Another trump DISTRACTION.
Why are federal agents on the beat to look for carjackers? It's insane.
Using the FBI to crackdown on homelessness, is not anything close to an appropriate use of a federal investigative agency. Trump is a lying moron.
They don’t care if it’s good use of LE or has meaningful substance. The intent is to condition the populace to seeing FBI, National Guard, Marines etc. in the streets of American cities. A progressive desensitization until it’s accepted as the new normal. Convince us to trade freedom for “security”
