Trump deploys National Guard units to pick up trash at public parks in DC. Now we know what the emergency was. www.fox5dc.com/news/nationa...

Because they fired the Park Service maintenance employees that used to do this as waste fraud and abuse. He proves how stupid the MAGA cult is every single day.

National Guard morale must be at an all-time low, and falling.

Ahh... to be outside in uniform in DC in August. Truly their 2 weeks a year and 2 days a month must seem like a valid invitation to paradise.

Wonder if their sleeping quarters are miserable

You know it. But at least the showers are probably cold and the food sucks.

Good. At least they're doing something positive. I hope they all return from this deployment with a deep resentment of Trump and feeling as ill-used as possible.

Saw a lot of potholes have them start filling the holes.

There was a dead rat on the sidewalk near the sculpture garden on Saturday. The trios of Nat Guards strolling along chatting did nothing. Put them to work!

These soldiers are doing what they have been ordered to do. It's not like they are doing it on their own. They answer to superior officers.

Considering his contempt for those who serve, this is unsurprising.

Probably could have gotten prisoners from the jail to do it cheaper.

They'll be loving that. That's the way to build esprit d corps.

This seems like the best of a terrible scenario: this is actual, if minimally valuable, work (definitely not worth the cost of deploying them but far better than harassing DC residents). And the NG are going to hate it because it is not what they signed up to leave their jobs and families for.

Two points: 1: Most expensive cleanup crew EVER! 2: A real disincentive to re-upping.

Oh, I hope they got video and someone makes a commercial asking people to join the military, so you can pick up trash, roust bro sitting on his stoop having a cigg or standing while eating, and don't forget: ripping families apart and leaving their kids without a breadwinner so they go hungry.

Next up US troops literally rolling out the red carpet for Putin ... oh wait they have already done that. Next up North Korean dictator dt fell in love with? He can't let Taylor ( definitely "not hot") upstage him.

Better than even money they’ll be deployed to police Trump’s route to the golf course next.

They can pick themselves up while holding an M4? Almost impressive. Yes, I am calling the DC National Guardsmen that have followed an illegal order to invade an American city without cause trash. The will never escape the shame and dishonor. Never.

Others are going to get KP duty in some of the city restaurants with low Yelp scores.

The trash that most needs picking up is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Good. I hope they’re bored and demoralized. Every one of them should have refused these orders, so fuck them all.

Take a soldier away from his family and home and tell him to pick up trash. 🙄

Guess this is what they meant by prioritizing war fighting … lethality… back to the basics Maybe don’t gut Park Service and gut DC budget by a billion dollars

The kids are going to first day of school, parents are moving sons and daughters into college dorms or just getting that last weekend at the lake with fishing pole and a beer. But you, your LEADERS have u picking up trash in front of perfectly safe monuments and museums. Support the Troops, right?
