WTF is this?

The Nat’l Guard protecting the Capitol right now because of impeachment proceedings. It’s a beautiful sight. Think about how musky all those nutsacks must be.

That's the National Guard, sleeping on the floor, prepared to protect the capital from insurgents.

Phew! Ok.

The pictures out of DC are pretty stunning. And it’s only Wednesday. The terrorists won’t get near that building if they even try. I assume the smarter, more organized militia won’t try because they know they’ll get destroyed in minutes. My fear is a month from now.

R1 😂

It’s so cute how they’re huddled together while sleeping.

I'm with R1. I'd volunteer to offer them some relief.

Damn thats a lot of morning wood 🍆

R1, thank you for the diversion to normal!

I agree with all the above but still, this is the United States and we need to have this type of military protection? It's crazy what one person can do to damage this country. I'm getting calls from foreign colleagues in countries that have had coups and they are passing on best wishes that this all ends up well. Seriously.

R1 Jeez. Lol. Some of you do make me question if I deserve my gold star gay card because a room full of sweaty sacks just make me heave!

I agree with R10, it's a sad sight and maybe a reckoning. 40 years of increasing income inequality and the loss of all values except 'money' and 'winning' have led to this sight. The people who held their noses because of their 401Ks have a lot to answer for. I am a naturalized citizen so chose to make my home here and I am heartsick and have been for 4 years. I hope and pray that this is the wake up call that was needed and these sights dont become the norm every 4 years.

Didn't Miss Lindsey G go to Texas with Trump? He must be cursing himself right now that he is missing out and Pence is getting all that soldier action.

Sleeping on those hard marble floors has got to be painful.

Ian Bremmer:

US Troops deployed to

Syria: 1,000

Iraq: 2,500

Afghanistan: 2,500

Washington DC: 6,200

(will be 10,000+ by Saturday)

“I think you can except to see somewhere upwards beyond 20,000 members of the National Guard that will be here in the footprint of the District of Columbia,” acting D.C. police chief Robert J. Contee III said at a news conference today.

Damn -- no inflatable mattresses and feather-down pillows?

Marshall Law by Monday Morning

I read there will be 20K troops.

This is what should have happened before the electoral votes count.

do you think they cat-call and whistle at AOC and other attractive (ish) Congresswomen? or are they under strict rules of conduct?

And will we be supporting these YOUNG soldiers when the bullshit ends?

Do they still owe $100k on an education when this is over?

Is this their main source of income right now?

How bad of an economic disaster are we hiding with this theater?

r21 upon closer inspection of the photo, not all of them are that young. Im only in my 30s and my back is already bad. Id be out of commission for days after sleeping on that hard floor.

[quote] Is this their main source of income right now?

They're putting on a collaborative OnlyFans performance later on in the evening. They're calling it the 100 man freedom orgy.

Our local guards have been working with the food bank and it’s a mixed age group, R22 .

These are not fungible human capital assets to be thrown at neckbeard terrorists.

I'm glad they're beefing up security, but isn't having that many Guardsmen huddled so close together, with many of them not wearing masks, going to turn the Capitol into a COVID disaster? Have they all been vaccinated?

gloryhole in basement

It’s called a show of force. It’s a deterrent.

[quote] “I think you can except to see somewhere upwards beyond 20,000 members...”

Oh, DEAR!

I actually get some degree of happy anxiousness at the thought of some sort of uprising soon and watching scores of the unwashed Proud Boys, Boogaloos, and fake patriots getting their heads blown off.

WTF is this?

“A great opportunity”

R29 honestly I think those groups, especially the proud boys, are too smart to try anything this weekend and on Inauguration Day. They’d be outnumbered 10 to 1 and would be destroyed in minutes. The military has also labeled them as seditionists and would open fire on them as well.

[quote] proud boys, are too smart

Proud boys and the word "smart" don't belong in the same hemisphere, let alone three words away from each other.

I bet miss Lindsey wishes she was there right now...

Irony

R33 a lot of them are ex military. So they’re “smart” in the context of this.

I was wondering why Hope Hicks was said to be roaming the halls of the U.S. Capitol today.

That is how the Congresspersons would have been laid out had the insurrectionists found them.

Only with more blood.

Our guys defending us from the traitor asshole republic party.

It’s like Star Wars: 20,000 troops could suddenly be turned against Congress. Won’t happen though.

[quote]It's crazy what one person can do to damage this country.

Not when the one person holds the most powerful position in the history of the world, with unmatchable and unlimited financial, legal, intelligence, communications, and bully-pulpit resources.

They are bunking the the Capitol Visitor Center, the vast (relatively new) complex built under the plaza east of the Capitol, between the Capitol and the Supreme Court/Library of congress.

One of the major construction contractors for the visitor center was Manhattan Construction Company, a privately held Oklahoma company run by Francis Rooney, who bought a seat in Congress in 2016 (from Naples, Fla.) and mysteriously decided not to run again, ending his term January 3, 2021.

Why aren't those men undressed if they're sleeping; and who have the booked to entertain them? I'd bring in Dolly Parton and Shawn Mendes.

I guess we've all moved on from shrieking about, "but they're not wearing masks."

[quote] Not when the one person holds the most powerful position in the history of the world, with unmatchable and unlimited financial, legal, intelligence, communications, and bully-pulpit resources.

And a base of mental midgets.

They have camping sleeping pads (look closely) so not quite as bad as sleeping on hard marble floors.

Lady G will have an entourage as matchy as Gwen Stefani. Do reservists drape themselves with nips to the sky?

It's possible they've been vaccinated, but the head of the Guard overseeing their deployment has already issued a statement complaining about the Republican members of Congress who aren't wearing masks when they stop and chat with the Guard members, so I think they're being pretty careful about the covid risk.

I volunteer to serve the Guardsmen and their musky nutsacks.

I am so glad that the Capitol has turned its protection over to Bel Ami Studios!

[quote] They have camping sleeping pads

Is this anything like free housebreaking wee wee pads?

It’s disgusting they couldn’t bring in portable beds. 3rd world shitshow as usual.

Imagine all the jizz in their full balls...

I'd set up a dick washing station there.....and gulp down as many loads as I could

R45 - yeah...at this rate we we NEVER go back to normal.

Miss Lindsay is counting the moments until he gets back. Hasn't been this happy to go to work in her life.

All those men together is like a DL fever dream come true!

My honest first thought is Nancy should drag (if necessary) all house Democrats down there and serve coffee/snacks/dinner.

They could rotate for the guard outside (or just go outside). There are enough Dems to maintain a 24/7 rotation.

Yes, it would be a photo op, but an effective one, and it is the right thing to do.

[quote] Where's the MyPillow guy when you need him?

Don't worry. I told them they could all take turns sleeping on my dirty pillows.

Come to momma, fellas!

Can't they get them some cots? America is so ghetto anymore.

R60, that’s fucking genius. 👍👍👍

Speaking of that freak, I think his company may be in trouble. I'm noticing more and more ads on TV where he's selling items at DEEEEEEEP discounts.

Ok, everyone calm down. In the WAPO today, it was made clear that all the Guardspeople are staying at local hotels. The ones lying on the floors are resting between shifts.

You wouldn’t happen to know the name of that hotel, now, would you?

*finds hotel*

*builds gloryhole out of shower curtain*

*unhinges jaw*

*prelubes*

R65 I want rest with them. They look so cute!

The National Guard said it had to turn down many generous offers from local residents to assist the troops in their mission.

One wonders what those generous offers were.

I wish I’d clicked on this link earlier, it’s hilarious. 😂😂😂

r69 probably to house them. Many Member of Congress are doing circle jerks to get a shot of them meeting the Guardsmen. I hate how many people were roaming around taking videos and pictures of these people while they sleep. Talk about treating them like props or zoo animals.

One reporter spoke to one of them who was 18 or 19. From PA or something. He said he had never been to the Capital and wondered if they'd open up a gift shop. They said most people his age are visiting with school groups while this country kid is sleeping there with a gun and riot gear. It's sort of sweet.

Imagine how active Grindr must be in that place!!! I doubt any action is happening but must be fun to check it out.

[quote] he had never been to the Capital

Oh, dear!
