This is one of those rare times that this has nothing to do with Trump. When Obama did this they were not armed either. NG would be there strictly in a support role. Sitting in portable observation posts and do back office work.

Isnât the National Guard the well-regulated militia as subject of Second AmendmentâŚ?

Exactly, This has been done by multiple Presidents, Obama and Bush just the latest couple. It is far from The Dumpsterâs stated unprecedented action but rather more of the same. I am actually surprised that he would do something that Obama did. Usually it is just the opposite, maybe the border he is talking about is the northern border with Canada.

I havenât seen anything regarding a plan for what theyâre there to do. Just that heâs sending them. California has to be one of the places theyâre going to go, and you would think heâd want to call on California to provide them. Brown could say no, but I donât know if he could say no to any.

As is her right under Posse Comitatus. She would not be refusing a lawful order, but declining to do a favor when asked.

No. It could be an well-regulated militia, but the National Guard came into existence long after the Second Amendment was ratified.
Maybe, but Putin is plenty aware of the wall rubes and their fear of the browns, so exploitation and division opportunities there. The wall business being a big campaign issue for trump to yak about and rile up the rubes looks like psy-ops to me. And I seriously donât think trump is that smart. All he probably thought about was his name all along the wall, ah vanityâŚPutin will exploit that too.
But who knows, just a theory.

Heâs a third-rate huckster to the bone. He canât describe anything in any but the strongest possible termsâbest, worst, biggest, first, on and on. Obama called him a carnival barker but the real folk character he recalls is the medicine-show snake-oil salesman fleecing the rubes.

HmmmmmmmmmâŚthey will âassistââŚOK. Is there any âreportsâ that the Border Control canât HANDLE it? Anything other than Donnieâs tweets that all hell is breaking loose? Are we just sending them to appease a tinpot dictator?

Stay strong which you most assuredly will. President Dickhead will be chomping at the bit to make you his little chew toy.

I have to do some things and rush off but Iâll give some adviceâideally the nickname needs to be kind of obvious in a way that would seem clever to a stupid person. Donât make it actually cleverâthatâs going astray.

This has all the earmarks of never happening. Its classic Trump distraction. Last night, every network was alight with âTroops could be deployed as early as tonight!!â. Yet here we are this morning and not one single National Guardsman is deployed on the border.
They have no logistics plan, no mission statementâŚnothing. They have the Homeland Security spox making up shit on the fly and telling Mexico âOh, noâŚthey wonât have any weaponsâ, when there is zero chance that such an order was issued. Or even contemplated before it came out of her mouth.

Especially since that would leave the northern border vulnerable, with only Washington between them and disaster. Remember Hannibal? Elephants? Was from the south but took the northern route to surprise-attack from the Alps? ELEPHANTS, PEOPLE!! WATCH OUT FOR ELEPHANTS OUT OF CANADA!!
