Trump’s D.C. Takeover May Be a Prelude to Something Far Worse

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Trump is Hitler, don't you know?

[Republican Wildcat]

But the exotic and rather fascistic appearance of National Guard units

These people are nuts and only getting nuttier.

[Olog-hai]

… the immediate priority of the newly federalized law-enforcement presence in D.C. has been going after undocumented immigrants …

The correct term is “illegal aliens”, Ed. And stop pretending that’s a bad thing.

[PGR88]

I would like to see Trump defund NY City from all federal money.

[BigEdLB]

“Worse”? So is the National Guard finally nabbing Schhiff and Cheney?

[lightman]

The correct term is INVADERS.

Did Ed Kilgore fill his diaper when contemplating the existence of Orange Man Bad?

[BenLurkin]

How do you get worse than good?

[SunkenCiv]

Wasn't the DC police force opening up branches in other states during the Biden administration? Any concern coming from this Partisan Media Shill POS about that?

[kiryandil]

But the exotic and rather fascistic appearance of National Guard units on the streets of Washington absent a riot or some other historically relevant pretext

I'll bet Kilgore had a different take on January 6th...

“Prelude to something worse”. Like what, arresting those who are paying and organizing the street thugs to protest President Trump for enforcing the law? Communist puke Democrats all spew the same lies and tactics to garner the attention of those too dumb and ignorant to know any better. Attitude adjustment time.

“Trump is Hitler, don’t you know? “

Just keep in mind that Washington runs on precedent and the future president who take that and run hard with it, well you might reevaluate at that point.

Like think about what the next neocon or democrat will do to ignite a war Russia.

[The Free Engineer]

That was the Capital Police, which is under Congress and different from the DC force.

I just caught a typo there. It should read:

“Trump’s D.C. Takeover May Be a Prelude to Something Far Better”

MSN’s proofreaders are evidently sleeping on the job.

[Sequoyah101]

Oh noes!!!

[Pearls Before Swine]

The big problem I’ve seen over the years is that Democrats screw things up so bad when they are in power that the following GOP administration has to correct with draconian laws... which the Democrats gleefully abuse when they get a chance to run the government again. Need I mention FISA?

[Jamestown1630]

I guess MSN doesn’t think the crime rate - especially the rate at which Black people, including little kids, are being MURDERED - is ‘historically relevant’.

What idiots.

[Tench_Coxe]

That was the Capitol Police. And no, there was nary a peep about it. And this is what DC looked like in early 2021. Not to deal with crime, but, imho, out of fear of ordinary US citizens:

People as paranoid as Kilgore used to be locked up in rubber rooms so they didn’t hurt themselves.
