Love those guardsmen! Tossed aside

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/0...capitol-461220

“One unit, which had been resting in the Dirksen Senate Office building, was abruptly told to vacate the facility on Thursday, according to one Guardsman. The group was forced to rest in a nearby parking garage without internet reception, with just one electrical outlet, and one bathroom with two stalls for 5,000 troops, the person said.”

Stuck in a parking garage

“ Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed,” the Guardsman said.”

Anybody who’s been in the military knows that while on mobility, you crash wherever. But this shows some serious poor planning

I can not help to think that there will be less willing to volunteer during Biden's time.

What an ignoramus. You completely ignored the very first sentence of the story. “Thousands of Guardsmen were allowed back in the Capital Thursday evening.”
This happened after Senators and Representatives from both parties heard of their plight and demanded they be allowed back in, with several members of Congress offering their private offices to the troops.

Some idiot with the Capital police made a very bad decision, but it was corrected quickly.

Of course that news doesn’t fit your agenda.

When news doesn't fit your agenda, you just make shit up. Like your mothership.

From the above article:

Quote:
On Friday morning, Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman insisted in a statement that the department “did not instruct the National Guard to vacate the Capitol Building facilities.”

“As Congress is in session and increased foot traffic and business is being conducted, U.S. Capitol Police asked the troops to move their rest area outside of the Capitol. They were temporarily relocated to the Thurgood Marshall Judicial Center garage with heat and restroom facilities,” said Capt. Edwin Nieves Jr., a D.C. National Guard spokesman.

We have two competing stories then. I quoted this, remember?

Either way, all blame goes to POTUS. Buck stops there, remember?

Explain to me what “US Capitol Police officials ordered them to vacate the facilities” means if not you have to leave. Chief Pittman’s statement is a CYA ,moment.

Excuse me? She's not the evil CEO of an evil corporation you know...

I'm appalled how you treat the first woman and first Black person to head the Capitol police.

You're calling her a LIAR and she's barely been on the job a few weeks.

nice.

Are you one of them White Supremacist RACISTS Nancy and Chuck are always talking about?

I think you might be, the way you act.
