Time out

We still have some 2,600 National Guardsmen deployed to DC, reportedly to aid in a crackdown on crime. Despite a proclamation that there have been no murders here since the Guard arrived in August, the DC police report that there were 28 homicides between August and the end of December.

Greetings from the king and queen of Jordan, posted earlier:

He has to ruin everything. I can’t wait for the midterms. We are a police state. V

Suicides are not, considered murders but they are considered homicides maybe that changes the numbers.

For heaven's sake, this is becoming a normalized feature in many places now. Excellent documentary shot. V

Heartbreaking to see this invasion. Praying that this nonsense will all be over soon. One can hope.

A comment of the state of affairs when you see who the statue is dedicated to and the National Guard standing in front. Is she rolling in her grave?!

a fine shot, yet a disturbing scene...troops on home ground suggests a drift to dictatorship..

Wow, there's still room to add Trump's name to the statue! I'm not an American but I always thought it was against your constitution to use the American military against Americans! But then again, Trump ignores everything. It's really sad to the rest of the world to witness the downfall of your great nation.

Ce monument est très beau, mais c'est bien dommage qu'il faille l'armée pour maintenir l'ordre. V
