Traitors and also shows when we have storm disasters and need help it was wasted on this.
Oh look, traitors.
Looks like North-Korea....
Literally twiddling their thumbs while fully dressed out in combat fatigues wasting our tax dollars by the minute. When the fuck will they turn on their handlers and stage a proper coup?
Indeed, but those soldiers are losing too. Their civilian incomes are usually higher than the poverty wages the US military provides. I would be pissed if given those orders.
Still rocking Humvees?
Hey at least they're not cybertrucks 🥴
but where were they on J6 huh
Why does this seem like step one in Trump's 'I'm not leaving at the end of my term' plan?
It’s more like step one hundred.
Because he incited an insurrection the last time he didn't want to leave at the end of his term. There's no way he'll give it up this time.
Don't forget the false slates
Are we sure that's D.C.? Looks like the Pentagon (which is across the river in Virginia).
Its Union Station in DC. I'm sure. Source: I live here.
What is it like on a day to day basis? Do you see the presence every where you go? Are people talking about it?
Its pretty bad. Its like an ominous cloud over the city. You don't get to see them everywhere but they're pretty common. The presence of the national guard is meant to be a show of force, so they are located in prominent and visible places.
However, the National Guard has mostly kept to the sidelines. I'm more concerned about ICE, Park Police and other federal law enforcement running rampant in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and trying to make themselves unaccountable.
People in DC are definitely talking about it. Many folks elsewhere are dissapointingly quiet
Thanks! It was really bugging me that I couldn't place it from that photo, it looks like a dozen different places around d.c./nova from that angle. The only thing that didn't seem right to me was the roof.
I guess it's just the angle, but that's definitely taken on Columbus circle looking west
Lol, what a weird thing to nit pick...
Not a nit pick, I just lived in the area for a while and it looked familiar is all.
