Defense Secretary Mark Esper Orders National Guard in D.C. to Disarm, Wear Soft Caps Instead of Helmets
Soft caps instead of helmets? So they can sustain head injuries or get killed? AND DISARMED?? WHAT??
From article:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The National Guard said in response to a query, “Guardsmen supporting the civil disturbance are unarmed.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What does that mean, that the Nat Guard SUPPORT the rioting?
Another quote from the end of the article:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said that Esper had not consulted the president before making the announcement, to her knowledge. She also said that the president has the “sole” authority to invoke the Insurrection Act.
Trump has reportedly asked advisers whether he should replace Esper. Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) name has been floated. He has advised the president to use military troops to restore order in cities that have seen riots in response to the death of George Floyd.

Espey has to be derp to the max. Now I want to vomit. Cotton sounds great.
Is Tom Cottons Senate seat a safe seat??
Esper overwhelmingly confirmed by the senate on a 90-8 vote. Derp status confirmed.
