Drive around the warehouse area of Dulles Airport. You'll see a fenced area with a flag pole flying the German flag. It's owned by the German Military Representative to the US. They have a building in nearby Reston.

This is not as rare as you think. Many foreign militaries have presence in the US, mostly for training. The one that comes to mind is the German Luftwaffe training unit that was in Fort Bliss near El Paso, then moved to Cannon AFB in New Mexico.

Trump administration illegally targeted pro-Palestinian protesters, judge rules The efforts to detain and deport noncitizen activists earlier this year represented an unconstitutional infringement on the First Amendment, the ruling says.

Breaking news: The Trump administration’s push to arrest and deport international students for their pro-Palestinian activism was illegal, a federal judge ruled, calling the crackdown a β€œtruly scandalous and unconstitutional suppression of free speech.”

I would gladly contribute to a GoFundMe to pay for a bunch of people to follow Tom Homan around (lawfully in public places!) with paper bags marked "$$$" with a Sharpie, and filled with Monopoly money.

From what I gather, it's only the DC Guard that are doing the landscaping and trash pickup. Those from other states are just standing around looking bored.

MAGA inside DoD were free to post all kinds of vile stuff about President Biden during his term, or Kamala Harris. So much for free speech and these people's hurt feelings.

β€œQuestion,” Epstein wrote to Maxwell on May 23, 2008. β€œWhich one do you prefer,,, lewd and lscivious conduct ,, or procuring minors for prostituion.”

At the time, he and his star-studded team of defense lawyers were closing in on a generous plea deal with federal and state officials in Florida, and Epstein was trying to negotiate the state charges to which he’d plead guilty. Maxwell’s response was matter-of-fact:

This has been a terrible week for MAGA so far. The WH spin is going to be nuts.
