It's 90+ degrees in DC today. They're wearing battle gear making it near unbearable. The helmets make it feel like it's 120 degrees. They'll go on when the time is right.
From the Wapo:
"Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper made the decision to disarm the guard without consulting the White House, after President Trump ordered a militarized show of force on the streets of Washington to quell demonstrations that were punctured by an episode of looting Sunday, two senior administration officials said. Trump had encouraged the National Guard to be armed."
They just don't like the apple cart being turned over. Trump knows how to win, they do not. I don't think it's a coup with these three. I have respect for Mattis but that is getting thin.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Put our teams of good young Americans out there to peacefully stand guard. Anyone messes with them will continue to look like animals and push the middle to the right.
Everything has gone the right way since that shitty cop did what he did. Trump denounced, showed compassion, spoke against it. Ordered a civil rights team to get out there immediately. Cops were fired, now charged and awaiting trial. Everything worked the way it should minus the cop being an asshole. I'm just lost as to why this is going on and why I need yo be ashamed of my skin color?
I don't see any weapons. Have they been de-fanged?
Why would that exact moment be the time for them to have firearms on them? They don't even have helmets on.

I cannot help but wonder if the soft coup has turned hard with Esper and Mattis and the Mayor all in on it?

Esper punted the active duty out yesterday.

Yes, they have been prevented from having weapons.
Psychologically, this could work in our favor. Armed or not, the left has willing stormtroopers who will commit acts of sedition.
If our side is actually victimized by violence, it will pull more to our side. Humanize the law and order folks to another million voters.
Then slap the knob up to 11 on the LRAD.

Our soldiers are NOT pawns to be used for psychological games.
... If you think being victimized is a good thing, you may be infected with leftist. Take two red pills and try again in the morning.
