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.

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

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.

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.
