Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, August 17, 2025

Three states moved to deploy hundreds of members of their National Guard to the nation's capital as part of the Trumpf junta's effort to allegedly overhaul policing in Washington through a federal crackdown on crime and homelessness. West Virginia said it was deploying 300 to 400 Guard troops, while South Carolina pledged 200 and Ohio says it will send 150 in the coming days. The move comes as federal agents and National Guard troops have begun to appear across the heavily Democratic city after Dummkopf Trumpf's executive order, federalizing local police forces and activating about 800 DC National Guard troops. Republican West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced that he was sending a contingent of 300 to 400 Guard troops to Washington, while Republican South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster authorized the deployment of 200 of his state's National Guardsmen and Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said his state would send 150 military police at the request of the Defense Department.

So, it appears, more for optics and normalization than actually trying to resolve any issue that may exist?

Step by step, the Trumpf junta is normalizing the appearance of the military on American streets.

And here is a recruitment poster for ICE: peoplesworld.org

Notice the symbolic use of the white woman and what looks like fleeing indigenous people.

"Defend the Homeland!"

Like his mythological predecessor, Dummkopf Trumpf and his imbecilic junta have unleashed uncontrollable forces and malice upon America (and the world):

In 1922 after the Greek Army lost Asia Minor and western Anatolia to the re-constituted Turkish army under Mustapha Kemal Ataturk, the catastrophe was so horrific in terms of lost soldiers, materiel, territory, and international prestige, nine Greek generals were immediately court-martialed upon their return to Greece. Six of nine were executed the same day following a hasty and angry military tribunal. Link: en.wikipedia.org

In 1933, after President Paul von Hindenburg enabled Adolf Hitler to become Chancellor in 1933 (and then Fuhrer), the Weimar Republic collapsed and soon came the subsequent atrocities of the Nazis. Von Hindenburg's legacy will always be tied to this ignominy. In February 2020, his honorary citizenship of Berlin was revoked. Link: www.historyhit.com

Now in 2025 we have the fascist Dummkopf Trumpf junta which is setting America back to pre-FDR days. Republicans and RFK Jr are plotting to undermine the ACA (Obamacare). The GOP and Trumpf created a free-for-all for the oligarchs, the US military is deploying in American cities, and the junta is building an army of loyal government thugs (ICE). ICE is becoming a more powerful agency than the FBI in terms of numbers and their ability to detain people without an arrest warrant.

One wonders what these two are thinking right now as this disaster and calamity befall the American people: i.guim.co.uk

What could we have done better in 2024 to prevent this cataclysm?

Welp kids, it's over. Our states are falling in line to support the fascist take over.

Whatever we'll be "celebrating" next year, it won't be the United States of America.
