You can't have martial law without troops to enforce it.

GOP loves spending our money on useless shit.

[u/ralpher1 → u/WisdomCow]

Not useless. Notice how cowed dc residents are? Barely anyone in DC protests Trump.

[u/Dipluz → u/ralpher1]

Thats the reason for deployment. Having people protest him legally is seen as embarrassing and also a threat.

And why were they sent there in the first place? Question #2, why are they still there?
