He should deploy the troops to find the person that destroyed the historic building on the White House grounds that was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

You gotta give it to Trump, he always exceeds expectations: just when you think that's the lowest bar he could possibly set, he immediately follows up a new record low.
W0lfsbl00d
He's a shining example of a Dark Tetrad. He has no low and no cares until he fears the repercussions of his actions.
Rubyboobs
What is the charge for that exactly? It’s not stealing government property, right?
Resistance1000
The process is the punishment. The target's life is disrupted, they have to spend $$$ on lawyers, etc.

I’m starting to wish Putin had put Orbon in charge of the US instead of that orange ass clown.

Using military as police seems very dictator'y
MissIWasntItching
Why in the holy hell would anyone care if someone takes the broken and peeling paint?
Spending tax dollars to prevent... what exactly?

It’s disgusting how true these statements are. And how bizarre they are.

That's American values for you....
twoamartist
Not my values, but, yes. Yes indeed.
DefinitelyaHumanNotanAlien
It's funny, that's what every American says, and yet your society certainly seems to reflect it...
cattlegrazer82
Should have deployed the Coast Guard.

On Jet skis....

The National Guard agreed to follow these orders. They are complicit. This problem doesn't go away when Trump does.
BenjyX55
You make an intriguing claim, but I think we need to test your hypothesis just to be sure.
Rink257
That is a public pool and we should be allowed to go in it. It's not illegal. Or it wasn't in Forest Gump. True story and we have film history to prove it. This is stupid.
Cactuskid69
Because Trump was busy promoting the resurrection .
tad67
Well we're now at the point where people are getting arrested and dying for made up crimes because people in power want to protect themselves. Donald Trump is the first elected American fascist .
ItsACrazyWorld
How the fuck do you arrest people for touching some thing that is in a public place?

I mean why would he protect democracy from himself? He incited that riot to begin with.
flounder35
Which is weird because it was an insurrection against his own government.
Resistance1000
When they claim it was the FBI who organized it, always remind them that tRump was still POTUS and it was *his* FBI.
W0lfsbl00d
It was Rhodes, Tarrio, (Don and Roy Cohn's old buddy) Roger Stone and other nazi magats like Bannon plotting the insurrection in encrypted chats and clandestine meetings.
Any feds there were likely tracking the Oathkeepers and Proudboys that Roger Stone brought in to use Don's mob to hide in and breach the Capitol for them to complete their plot of stealing the votes present that day, stealing the certification documents, and helping the mob do mob shit to the VP and Congress to overthrow elec
JustFeedMePieDammit
Consistency and logic are not really useful to the fascist mindset, unless it allows them to grab more power
electronicbovine
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest! What is the charge? Eating a paint chip? A succulent paint chip?!
DrLOAC
Literally deployed to watch paint peel.
kojenk
no amount of vandalism will do that to the enormous ass reflecting pool. They're grabbing anyone to blame them for it but ending up with embarrassing arrests of national heroes

I'm confused, aren't there signs telling people not to touch the pool? I was informed that it was normal to not actually approach or touch the pool and there were signs saying not to touch it.
unevenload
Not true at all. You can even swim in it.
nojustsayitdont
Yeah. I'm pretty sure that anyone who touches the pool should be shot. What do you think? Like the Forbidden Pool in Lord of the Rings. They should put radioactive tracers in the paint, so anyone that takes some can be tracked, them we can burn their house down for daring to do such a thing.
hwatL4bloopy
Like a stay off the grass situation so it's not serious but this is obvious ridiculous overkill
BenjyX55
There are thin white barriers around the new grass, so anybody who violates it deserves execution.
hwatL4bloopy
Lol. I had a friend tell me that each time he went to the reflecting pool in the past, no one really cared about it, And people didn't touch it. And there were like signs about not messing with it.All the hubbub is drawing extra attention. It feels like mall cops getting upset when you touch the fountain / water feature at the mall but instead they like arrest you
BenjyX55
My comment was meant as a Star Trek reference.
hwatL4bloopy
Oh, I remember that episode. Let's place these death trap gardens anywhere someone can fall into. Ridiculous.
kriswinters
They'll probably only deploy them for 29 days, to prevent them from getting full pay.
imreallytrying
Me on day thirty...
SalmonTheWise
Bold of you to assume that there will be any paint left in the pool in 29 days.
Neotrup
I'm pretty sure these are the same guardsmen who have been deployed over a year now. Because we're paying guardsmen to stand around DC and "reduce crime."
SheepySleepySmuggler
But how did the "peeling paint scandal" happen if the National Guard was already deployed?
Resistance1000
But the individual Guardsmen could be on 29-day deployments.
xj4low
That's why they get a few days off at the end of the 29 days then called back to deployment. Keep them there without any full pay while their jobs back home either let them go or have to hold them as unpaid staff since they aren't there.
WiiShaker
I'm willing to wager that everyone involved in this reflecting pool debacle was not paid.
Goldensands
Only those scamming public money yh. No dignity in america, none.
CaptMinion
The company that did the repainting donated a lot of money to trump. Since this is a government project and he is not paying with his own money I bet his friend got paid.
WiiShaker
So he only licks his own ass. Check.
