I know most of us were somewhat aware of this, but I hadn’t heard about it in a while. My cousin couldn’t tell me everything, but after I began talking to him he was surprised that I knew about the situation with the NG still being deployed. He said it’s unprecedented. Normally they would be deployed for 3 days or maybe a week at a time but it’s going on 3 years straight! He was in DC for a few months and since has been elsewhere. I think this may be something way bigger than we realize. Here’s a few interesting links. The very liberal esquire article from 2017 (before Covid was even a thought) made my ears perk explaining how Trump could circumvent the Posse Commitatis Act and convince states to federalize NG units. Did Trump use Covid to his benefit in order to convince some state Governors to federalize their own NG units?? May be worth some digging. If I’m wrong or off base on this please let me know as I do not know all the background info on how the NG operates. Thanks frens.

My daughter lives in VA & works at FNC, she was visiting us last week and was telling us what a ghost town DC is. She never has to pay for parking anymore because nobody else is parking where she does. She told us you have to order food by 6pm at restaurants before they closed and you'd get no dinner. I found that very interesting.
True. I know someone who lives near DC and works in DC. Restaurants shut down early. He said they are probably expecting trouble from illegals.
Because lazy government workers don't want to stop working from home. Where I work as a contractor the Government employees just have to come into the office for 1 day a week. Everyone telecommutes now.
Louisville restaurants close at like 8 now and traffic is definitely still there. Too many people, I can’t imagine living in NYC…
