Several things about this ‘story’ don’t make sense. I would imagine the Guard is issuing meals/rations, so they probably aren’t getting more than $10 a day in pocket money.
Most Army Guard folks would NOT be put up at hotels, and they are probably sleeping in sleeping bags at some local military post.
I’d regard this figure of $800k a day as fake news unless some Guard folks fess up to getting hotel rooms/$60 in food-money per day.
That is not surprising as not much about this whole thing makes any sense at all.
Frankly, I don't think many of the players involved on the Democrat side have thought things through and are just trying to manufacture a narrative that they may end up regretting We are already under pre declared state of emergency so with a stroke of a pen they become under the control of the President at that time.
They’re eating MREs. They’re sleeping at the Visitors Center at the Capitol.
