DoT has no authority to use the National Guard for anything.
The National Guard is totally under the control of the Governor (in this case, the separate governors of MD, VA, and DC, with DC being a bit different).
DoT can not order them nor could it pay for them under current shutdown.
Somebody needs to do a little research before they post these things.
True.
Plus these folks are citizen soldiers.
Don’t cha think they’d raise a ruckus and let a LOT of folks know?
Plus this sort of event take a good bit of pre-logistics.
I smell agitprop.
The DC National Guard would not be able to do anything on I-495 without the cooperation of MD and VA.
I-495 is in MD and VA not in DC.
Having authority to do something may not be strictly necessary under Danglebarry.
The world has moved on. The White House is the Dark Tower.
Well, someone should use their brains before the write things like this. Posting it is informative, if for nothing more than revealing that there are people even at places like RedState that have a screw loose.
Anyway, not posting would spoil the fun of ridicule.
