They’re going to seize control of DC. They are positioning troops here for a reason. What to know as GOP governors plan to send ARMED National Guard units to D.C. wapo.st/45kUEaz

Did the tanks ever leave after Dear Leader's glorious parade?

Because most Americans are apathetic and don't value their freedoms say like South Koreans do (nearly all of whom went outside and protested over one weekend when martial law was imposed and managed to get their president impeached). Just give them smart phones, porn, and soda. They'll be happy.

I'm surprised the tanks didn't stay after his birthday parade. It was foreplay for what was to come. To test the masses.

Armed. Just what we need, more guns in crowded places. There should be NO normalizing of this outrage. Were I planning on visiting DC for ANY reason, I'd certainly rethink my plans. It might be a good thing to turn DC into a ghost town for now - well, except for 'soldiers' patrolling each other.

You have all these military being sent to US cities for nothing What the hell is going to happen when we are attacked by another country or terrorists - they will be to busy just standing around on US streets

WaPo! Yes, let's rely on the "analysis" of a paper controlled by a gold-level, honored vassal of Lord Trump. They'll tell us "what to know." Conditions may apply if actual knowledge lies outside WaPo's Overton window.

Clearly, Republicans have no intention of losing power. They tried to overthrow the government in 2020 and the next time they won’t give up so easily.

Read up. Newsom has already publicly embraced many Trump policies, especially around trans people and the homeless. I like that he's standing up to Trump, but even assholes can do that. Newsom is awful.
aug 17, 2025, 11:59 pm • 4 0 • view
This is untrue. He hasn’t embraced the policies. He was asked questions about his own opinions. The issues are complex, the answers not simple, & it will be hard to please everyone. Newsom has become the leader we need now. Failing to support him is accepting DJT won.

"Pros and cons of throwing the homeless in jail and denying trans kids care are 'complex,' so fuck 'em." Newsom is trash. His stance against Trump (not the AI crap) is good, and i support THAT. But i don't support him as a leader. Others show it's possible to lead well without trashing people.

This is not merely using the military for law enforcement. This is Republicans collectively seizing control of the nation's capitol.

There will be incremental increases in troop numbers, and their presence will be long-term if Trump gets his way, shifting rationales as they go. Twenty years from now people will ask, didn't there used to be protests in DC?

What to know? Its the 2nd Confederacy w/o seceding. US still has a dark racist underbelly. Its not “the South” now. Its a new Confederacy taking up arms. Its Ohio, WVirginia & SoCarolina (1st state to secede in 1860) enabled by tRump & occupying the Capitol (something the old Confederacy never did)
