There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.
WASHINGTON (AP) — South Carolina, Ohio also sending National Guard troops to DC in further escalation of federal intervention in Dem city.

NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.

Greg Gutfeld Brazenly Lies on Air to Claim Jan. 6 Rioters ‘Didn’t Beat the Crap Out of Police’
On Thursday's episode of The Five, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld attempted to claim the January 6 rioters "didn't beat the crap out of police" -- a blatant lie.

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
REPORTER: President Putin, will you stop killing civilians?

No competent group of advisors would send a US president to a podium at an event of this magnitude without a prepared statement. No competent president would riff for five minutes and say absolutely nothing. These are clowns and rank amateurs in charge of American foreign policy. God help us.
