🚨NEW: VoteVets Responds to Trump’s Use of the National Guard in DC:

“Trump himself refused to activate the Guard when our Capitol was under attack; he should be embarrassed he is activating them now.”

Is there anyone in MPD or DCNG willing to point out how crazy this is?

Trump has wanted to do this since he stood outside the church with upside down bible. The first admin had people who kept him from doing it again. Those people are long gone.

Jan. 6 Panel Probes Donald Trump’s 187 Minutes as Capitol Attacked as Prime-Time Hearing Approaches The Thursday prime-time hearing will dive into the 187 minutes that Trump failed to act on Jan. 6, 2021, despite pleas from aides, allies and even his family.

As Trump calls the National Guard into DC for a fake emergency, let's remember that he waited 187 minutes to do it when there was a real emergency.

I’m proud of the 20+ years I spent as in the Army Reserve and National Guard. It helped pay for my college. It provided extra income and health care for my family. I’m absolutely heartbroken that I can no longer in good conscience recommend it. Soldiers still serving will have tough choices to make.

Fungi. Douthat State Park.

Around 1988 I had a scout leader who drove an Edsel. It was the weirdest car I’d ever seen.

Ty Seidule’s book was very eye opening for me on this topic.

I miss them since relocating East

Stolen valor all the way down

They saw what the Evangelicals got for selling their souls and decided they wanted some of that.

Trying out an e-bike commute thanks to Charlottesville e-bike lending library. My commute , which was already faster than a car, was decreased significantly. Coming into this as a skeptic, I may be converted.

True, but that would have required actual knowledge and understanding.

The Trump administration is now hiring these people while Congress refuses to display @thejan6plaque.bsky.social. Never forget!

Someday the words will appear and I’ll stop checking

He’ll call in the DCNG for this, but not for attacking the Capitol.

Cool drizzly bike commute

I think I get the reference and I feel culturally superior for it.

This is horrific. Big nope.

It’s flying a giant American flag to show patriotism; it’s holding a bible outside a church to show piety.

And all the girls in class staring at him the whole time

Unseasonably cool bike commute.

Never forget

F*ck this guy and everything he cares about straight into the sun.

A lot of “I support Operation Underground Railroad” people about to be ok with a convicted child trafficker the same way a lot of “back the blue” people support attacking the Capitol Police.

I hope so, but at the same time it’s not hard to see a whole mess of people who suddenly were ok with pardoning Proud Boys find it possible to justify this, too.

Titanic late run at a discount theater. Lady behind us chuckles as frozen Jack slips into the depths.

Saw it opening day. Audience applauded and cheered.

What a Wonderful World (thus preventing the future mashup with Over the Rainbow, which should be spared)
