Thousands of National Guardsmen were forced to vacate congressional grounds on Thursday and have been photographed having to sleep in parking garages while temperatures in the nation’s capital were set to dip down to near-freezing temperatures.
The photos of the living conditions that the National Guardsmen were forced to endure come after Democrats took complete control of the federal government this week following Joe Biden being sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.
“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service,” a National Guardsmen told Politico. “Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed.”
“All National Guard troops were told to vacate the Capitol and nearby congressional buildings on Thursday, and to set up mobile command centers outside or in nearby hotels, another Guardsman confirmed,” Politico reported. “They were told to take their rest breaks during their 12-hour shifts outside and in parking garages, the person said.”
“Speaker Pelosi personally met with the Secretary of the Army to demand 14,000 National Guard troops be deployed to the Capitol,” a source familiar with the security discussions at the Capitol told The Daily Wire in a statement. “But there was no logistical plan provided by the Speaker’s office on where the service members would sleep.”

MILITARY SOURCE IN DC: “For the last week my battalion has been sleeping on the floor in the Senate cafeteria. Today the Senate kicked us out & moved us to a cold parking garage. 5000 soldiers. 1 power outlet. One bathroom. This is how Joe Biden’s America treats solders.”

26 Oct 2016: Eater.com: José Andrés Hits the Campaign Trail for Hillary Clinton
Andrés introduced Clinton in Tampa on Wednesday
by Chris Fuhrmeister
Chef José Andrés is taking his support of Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton — or perhaps it’s his disdain for GOP nominee Donald Trump — to the campaign trail. Andrés appeared at a Clinton rally in Tampa Wednesday afternoon, donning his standard chef’s whites to introduce the candidate.
Andrés, a native of Spain who became a naturalized United States citizen three years ago, opened his remarks with a hearty “hola” and proudly declared his first vote in an American presidential election would be cast for Clinton. Andrés spoke for nearly 15 minutes and touted his adopted home as a nation of immigrants, portraying Trump as an anti-immigrant candidate...
The chef had agreed to open a restaurant at Trump’s new Washington DC hotel, but he pulled out in July 2015 after the Republican derided Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “drug dealers.” Trump filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Andrés’s ThinkFoodGroup. Andrés responded by filing a countersuit, claiming the candidate’s statements made it impossible for the restaurant to hire and maintain staff. There’s no telling when the legal fracas will be resolved...

The left is displaying EXACTLY what they think of us.
This is how much use they have for anyone not them.
Why do National Guardsmen need to sleep? Aren’t they all robots yet?/s
No. That would be a threat to demoncrazy. Anyone posting these pics on Twitter should be deplatformed, because it gives credibility to your lying eyes.
That was a joke. Geez.
““Speaker Pelosi personally met with the Secretary of the Army to demand 14,000 National Guard troops be deployed to the Capitol,” “
The Speaker, a liquor soggy 80 year old with no legal authority, commands troop movements. However they did it, Trump was deposed in the last week before the inauguration. And swearing in Biden 10 minutes early wasn’t accidental. It was deliberately sending a finger to Trump and America message.
This is an illegitimate government.
Men and women are in that photo
Why are they still there?
Thats as good as it gets for them. Biden will have them sent to every s hole soon enough.
‘We Feel Incredibly Betrayed’
So do 75+ million Trump voters.
What of it?
Disagree. Doesn't jive with reality.
If troops, or patriots, or republicans, republicans+unenrolleds voted 100% for Trump, the baddies would have turned out 101% for Bitem, giving Bitem the win.
The National Guard served their purpose in DC and State Capitols to show that the Democratic Party was in control.
As Chairman Mao said, “Every Communist must grasp the truth; Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
“Problems of War and Strategy” (November 6, 1938), Selected Works, Vol. II, p. 224.
And so not that the National Guard have been used to establish in the minds of many that Democrats have political power, they are no longer needed for the moment and may be treated poorly.
However, their treatment has taught the rank and file and their officers a lesson, that hopefully they will not forget and will tell to others both within the military and at their homes.
When you ever wondered what it felt like or feels like to be used a political props.....
It will make arresting Cornpop all that more funner . . .
And just what did the NG soldiers expect from a neo-Marxist, anti-military DC government (Mayor Bowwow Bowser, a closet Marxist napoleon-complex incompetent low-keyed bitch) and the Biden dictatorship?
There is “no room” at the Hilton, Marriott, Hamilton, etc. hotels in DC and no. Virginia, esp. for members of the military.
Instead of singing “ Baby It’s Cold Outside”, they now are singing “Baby It’s Cold INSIDE”, besides being investigated for being suspected members of extreme right-wing groups.
How’s that for trust and gratitude from the new C-in-C and his Marxist whorehouse, oops, White House?
Get used to it. This is their MO and “they’re sticking to it”.
Antifa/BLM/Bloc Block anarchists are laughing their asses off about this, while planning their next riots, insurrections, criminal operations, and killings.
And what will DC and the Bidet-Mattress Harris administration do about it, with their Keystone Cops/Wray led FBI and emasculated DC Police Dept?
How do you say “NOTHING” in several languages? “Nada”; “Sheist”; “Rien”; “Say What?”; “Adios Amigos”; and “Merde del toro”.
It was sarcasm.
Let me see, the soldiers are not in Iraq so, sure, let’s let the government take a power shit on them. Just because.
You’re a f*cking asshole.
