    The military takeover of Washington, DC

    In a troubling development, armed US military soldiers can now be seen on the streets of the US capitol.

    This is reminiscent of a 3rd world country.

      If you've ever spent any amount of time in or around DC you know this is a good thing. Can we do Baltimore next?

                Magatrons truly love being controlled. They think they're "owning the libs". Hahaha

                  ... in a further troubling development, US Guard troops from other states are being sent to Washington, DC.

                  Who is paying for all this manpower and equipment at a time when the US debt is rapidly ballooning out of control?

                  Washington, DC has a capable local police force and crime statistics have been declining.

                    ... please advise which specific US cities have armed US troops patrolling their city.

                        ...is it even consitutional to deploy so many armed troops to Washington, DC longer than 30 days? This clearly requires Congressional approval.

                        Trump is not a king but he sure acts like one.

                          ... I have never been to Washington, DC and have no desire to visit there.

                          What has that got to do with the widespread reporting that armed US soldiers now patrol the streets there?

                            ... not only are US troops being deployed to patrol the streets of Washington, DC but so are FBI & Secret service agents.

                            US citizens have been snatched off the streets by masked, armed federal agents and taken away in unmarked vans.

                            ... ICE is now the highest federally funded US police force in the country.

                            Where is all of this money coming from .... tariff revenues?

                            Trump is doing a great job of killing tourism is Washington, DC. Down 31% compared to year ago.
