A photo of the National Guard deployment to Washington D.C.

It's a nice shot regardless of the implications.

but where were they on J6 huh

Probably in high school as they're young boots.

All these people they keep photographing look quite displeased.

Not displeased enough to not be there.
- You mean not displeased enough to get kicked out of the service and irreparably destroy their futures.
“I just joined for the free college and cheap health insurance but now they got me defending a facist regime”
- That's probably not far off from their cadences 😂. "I joined up to get college for free. Now they got me in a fascist regime." That flows a bit better IMO.

Why does this seem like step one in Trump's 'I'm not leaving at the end of my term' plan?

Because he incited an insurrection the last time he didn't want to leave at the end of his term. There's no way he'll give it up this time.
- Don't forget the false slates
It’s more like step one hundred.

"Just following orders"

Fun fact: during the Nuremberg trials it was determined that the "just following orders" excuse was in fact, not valid; and that someone always ought to disobey their superiors when that goes against liberty.
- Is that fun fact applicable to soldiers just standing around doing nothing?
- That's exactly why I posted that.
- Only 177 people were judged in the Nuremberg trials, though. Barely a few dozens executed.
  Vast majority of soldiers and civilians that were "just following orders" were indeed not condemned by their actions. At least not by any judge.
I think that’s unfair. Imagine being an impoverished American and one of your only options to afford a college education and healthcare is to join the National Guard, an organization that is rarely activated, and when they are, it’s often to actually help people during things like natural disasters. So you join, you take advantage of the benefits and can actually afford to start a family.
Then all of the sudden, you’re stuck in this situation. Leaving will get you a dishonorable discharge, stripping you and your family of healthcare. Getting another job will be difficult. Or you can just clench your teeth and maliciously comply by waffling on your responsibilities
- I think it's unfair to have troops deployed in Washington DC. They took a gamble by joining and I can empathize with that. But them complying is furthering the fascist agenda.
- Because saying no when something isn't just is the right thing to do.
  People used to have principles that they just would not break, despite the consequences.

Looks like North-Korea....

Smile, you on camera just following orders.

I hope breaking your oath was worth it. I'm ashamed to see the uniform I once wore now.

What oath? They're literally just standing around doing nothing. This deployment is legal, the president is allowed to do it for 30 days. After that you might have some legal fuckery to try and get them there illegally but it's above board for now.
- it's above board for now
  Can't wait to continue hearing this while we all board the trains.
This deployment was legal for up to 30 days. They can only refuse illegal orders
You mean this oath? The one that swears to obey the orders of the president?
“I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and of the State of ______ against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to them; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of ______ and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.”
- “According to law and regulations.”
  The president is breaking the oldest law we have. Around deez here parts we call that the constitution, Kyle.

Oh look, traitors.

No actually. They're doing their jobs and obeying lawful orders.

Are we sure that's D.C.? Looks like the Pentagon (which is across the river in Virginia).

Its Union Station in DC. I'm sure. Source: I live here.
- What is it like on a day to day basis? Do you see the presence every where you go? Are people talking about it?
- Thanks! It was really bugging me that I couldn't place it from that photo, it looks like a dozen different places around d.c./nova from that angle. The only thing that didn't seem right to me was the roof.
Lol, what a weird thing to nit pick...
- Not a nit pick, I just lived in the area for a while and it looked familiar is all.

That looks hella dystopian

Traitors and also shows when we have storm disasters and need help it was wasted on this.

Freedom

Still rocking Humvees?

They are Nasty Girls after all. They get all the broken clapped-out hand-me-downs.
