HEGSETH SAYS TRUMP HAS ASKED FOR 500 ADDITIONAL TROOPS TO BE DEPLOYED TO WASHINGTON, D.C., AFTER TWO NATIONAL GUARD WERE

[riversedge]

I agree. This is NOT good.

Well that’s not good either.

Remember that the Guard were originally deployed to DC to avenge Big Balls, who is meanwhile rifling through all our Social Security data.

AND ALSO, on Nov 20, Jia Cobb ruled the Guard deployment was illegaly, but stayed her decision until December 11.

1. I'm really beginning to smell a false flag here.

[leftstreet]

3. How fortunate Hegseth was still in DC

Most everyone has cleared out for the hols

At least he can guide us through this perilous time

[MarineCombatEngineer]

5. Only if he's not too drunk

and even if he isn't I wouldn't trust him to guide us out of anything.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. The District will be under military occupation as long as this regime

remains in power.

[pfitz59]

4. More 'illegal orders'

That should be disobeyed.

[Brother Buzz]

7. I can believe there is a lot of whispering going on in the ranks

[spanone]

6. Fuckers

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. I'm throwing this out there as a CT,

but if this is a false flag, and I don't know, I'll bet whoever set this in motion was counting on the shooter being killed so that there would be no interrogation.

Hopefully, this won't be another Jack Ruby.

12. This might be a "Made it, or let it happen on purpose" moment

Either way, the results are the same; you don’t have to be a rocket surgeon to know what Trump et al. would do.

9. Personally, I for one, hope they don't draw protestors. It just feeds his false narrative.

The best result would be tons of footage of them sitting around, bored out of their minds, playing cards, etc. It needs to be seen at completely pointless.

Please, please just put it on ignore.

[vapor2]

10. Yep, another 500 troops is the answer

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. Yeah, let's exacerbate the situation even more.

[bigtree]

13. this is cowardice and weakness

...posing as strength.

And it's stupidity, supposing that ANY additional troops prevent rogue attacks like this.

They used to just stage night raids in Baghdad and Fallujah. This is how nations posture against enemy territory, this abomination of leadership directed at the nation's capital.

[bluestarone]

14. STINKS to high heaven

That is all.

[Norrrm]

15. Trump declares DC is crime free. ---- early Sep

Trump's incompetence has allowed crime to flourish again.
