That mayor's order was issued back on Jan. 6. Yes, there is up to 20,000 National Guard in DC, and I can understand that the DC mayor (or a governor) can request the National Guard, but this is the Marine Reserves that have been called in; not just the Guard (as in National Guard). There's a difference.
I am still hoping for the ultimate Trump card. From 2019 state of the union.....
Trump: “America Will Never Be A Socialist Country”; “We Were Born Free And We Will Stay Free”
“There’s a difference.”
This I am aware of.
