The shootings of those 2 W. V. National Guard Members is 100% on Trump and our Gun Culture/Laws [View all]

There was absolutely no reason they were in Washington D.C. to become targets of that piece of crap shooter (mentally ill or traumatized from being in Afghanistan or influenced by radical Islamic or political thoughts I don’t care) and the easy accessibility of guns in America no doubt led to his being able to
get a weapon to hurt those good people who should have been home in West Virginia with their families
for the Holidays.

So what does Trump and Hegseth do? They send another 500 unneeded and illegal National Guard Troops* to D.C. where they can become targets for Dog only knows what reason.

* "Posse comitatus" has two meanings: the Posse Comitatus Act, a U.S. law that prohibits the use of federal military for domestic law enforcement unless authorized by Congress, and the historical legal concept of "the power of the county", which is the authority of a sheriff to call citizens for assistance.

Trump is an ignorant mad man that has no business being President. BTW doesn’t every city that Trump
has sent troops to have an African American as mayor?
