Orange Idi Amin will do this while cutting SNAP and health care for poor people.

It's a matter of choices.

On the positive side, the streets in NW DC are cleaner than ever, with all those guardsmen swinging brooms, stooping for cigarette butts and shooting at rats with their M-16s...

Yeah, those are the optics that Pres Trump is hoping for.

But is that the reality?

Or are what Democrats trying to protect, not violent criminals but, the Constitution and the Rule of Law?

How many extra arrests has that $1M per day bought us? How many crimes have been stopped? I'm guessing 0 since the Guard isn't actually doing anything except some trash pickup and gardening.
