Clear and Present Danger [View all]

I mentioned this in an OP I did last night but I believe it needs its own OP.

We have Republican controlled states sending hundreds of troops to DC. Do you hear me. Hundreds. Why are Republicans sending over a thousand troops to DC?

Six Republican led states, some of the poorest states in the union, have pledged to send over 1300 soldiers to DC. Counting what is already there and you have over 2000 soldiers in DC.
That is just right now. The WH continues to ask for more to come.
Some Republican controlled states have said "no" but even that only begs more questions.

This is more like a coup than it is about law enforcement.
We should all be a lot more concerned about this then has been reflected in the press and public sentiment.
