Good. Why should any state volunteer to protect an illegitimate holder of any office

The 700 National Guard troops have already been chosen before this "announcement."

quote:

A total of 700 National Guard members have been activated in the D.C-area ahead of next week's State of the Union address Tuesday night and potential trucker convoy-related protests.

Four hundred of the guardsmen are local D.C. troops, which have been activated as part of a request from the D.C. Emergency Management Agency to provide traffic control and enhanced security in anticipation of the protests surrounding President Joe Biden's speech.

The other 300 Guard personnel are from outside D.C. and have also been approved upon requests from U.S. Capitol Police. Such personnel include approximately 100 Vermont Army National Guard Soldiers, 100 New Jersey National Guard troops and about 80 West Virginia National Guard members who will support security operations within Washington starting later this week.

Maybe instead of clapping your hands at who 'won' the narrative war, you should stop and ponder that 700+ NG are even having to be there in the 1st place.

THAT's the story.

Welp, I declare this SOTU illegitimate. . If no swamp rangers are laughingly guarding the pretender on his fake white house set, it isn't official.

“They will also not carry firearms or take part in law enforcement or domestic-surveillance activities.”

You are fake news.

Read your own link.

The request was last week. The tweet was from today.

Huh? That article is from Saturday which already had the national guard troops identified. This tweet was from today. Kinda my point....

I doubt Florida was even directly asked to participate in the first place, but DeSantis saw an opportunity to "stick it" to Biden.

Yeah, and I wonder why.

DeSantis said that last week he got the request. Seems clear to me that he could have denied the request first, in private, then went and made a public statement about it later.

Has the Brandon Regime delivered on everything you’d hoped for when you enthusiastically voted for it? Gas prices? Border? Inflation? Crime? Foreign policy?

Last week was when the request went to the Pentagon. The Pentagon then rounded up the troops from various states. Again, Florida probably wasn't even contacted.

Why are you fighting so hard for this? get over yourself. DeSantis is a better leader than anyone the Democrats* have in their lineup and nothing you say will change that

*not an endorsement of Republicans

So your theory is DeSantis pulled that statement out of his arse to "Stick it" to Brandon? Like that is needed to make him look bad.
