Then imagine you’re in a DC hospital recovery room after your surgery and you hear that your dipshit Governor announced to the world that you and your NG comrade are dead.
Imagine being, like, a sales manager from Wheeling, and you got shipped off to DC by your dipshit governor to fulfill Trump’s troops-in-the-streets fantasy, and then you spent two months wandering the Mall picking up trash, and then two days before Thanksgiving you got shot outside a Metro station
NEW: DC's Metropolitan Police Dept says it has one suspect in custody after a shooting at 17th and I, near the White House.

AP reports that two members of the National Guard were shot, which DHS sec Kristi Noem confirms in a tweet.

Jeff Mason of Reuters reports that the White House is on lockdown.

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

Turkey is fucking delicious and if you don’t like turkey because think turkey is dry then you’re just bad at cooking turkey.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

SCOTUS has blocked Trump from firing another official through emergency appeal. trib.al/UR1w5DG

This time, though, she argued that as her position has the word “Congress,” she's part of the legislative branch of government and thus can't be fired by the executive branch.
