Sadden to hear about the shooting of the 2 National Guardsmen shot in DC

God Damn Donald Trump!

Those guys would have been home with their families for Thanksgiving, but Trump had to use them as political pawns tin the hopes of creating trouble to consolidate his fascist desires.

1. Hope we don't continue using them as political pawns.

2. We have to calm the waters to the best of our ability.

Firm resolve is needed. Rage will play into the hands of people with bad intent.

3. Update: The WVA Guardsmen were a man and a woman.

9. I've heard conflicting reports.

That isn't uncommon.

4. But for TSF, the guardsmen would not be there.

6. Because they don't NEED to be there. It's not accomplishing a damn thing.

5. They might not have been home for Thanksgiving.

If they were called up by the Chickenshit in Chief, which they were, they may not have gotten the holiday off. You think he'd care if they had to work on Thanksgiving?

They were there because of him. That is a fact. I would bet my last dollar that none of them wanted to be there.

7. I could not agree more

It's heartbreaking. Bless them and their families.

8. And Donnie orders 500 more Nat Guard troops to DC....to accomplish absolutely nothing.

10. Guy & Gal

One Woman and One Male guardsmen.

12. You nailed it. I remember when the National Guard would show up to help.

I remember when Presidents were civil, not the enemy of the citizens.

13. There is no logic

to the order to send 500 more National Guard troops.
That just provides more sitting ducks if someone would try that again. What a waste of time and resources. It's dangerous, dumb, and unnecessary.
