This:
A full busload of National Guard members were seen Tuesday morning picking up trash around Lafayette Park, just outside of the White House....may be a noble ideal, but it hardly qualifies as an “emergency.”
It's part of a "beautification and restoration mission," according to the military office overseeing the soldiers and airman activated to help respond and deter crime as part of the federal government "D.C. Takeover."
An official confirmed to FOX 5 DC that 110 National Guard members were picking up trash Tuesday at Lafayette Square, the National Mall, and the Tidal Basin.
"We are committed to keeping D.C. safe and beautiful," said the official.
And it’s going to show up in evidence at the trials in D.C., to remove troops and NG when the statutory deadline expires; and in Chicago and elsewhere, if Trump tries to federalize them.
Kind of hard to say litter is an emergency requiring a federal response with armed soldiers….to pick up the litter.
