The Trump administration reportedly plans to mobilize up to 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states in the coming weeks to support its immigration and anti-crime crackdowns, a dramatic expansion of the controversial operation that’s seen federal agents and Guard troops carrying out activities across Washington, D.C.

The troops, who will largely be activated across Republican-controlled states, will serve in support of the administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, as well as other law enforcement priorities, according to comment from unnamed Pentagon officials and documents obtained by Fox News.

    I’m trapped here dawg. No way out because I don’t have the family, nor education, nor job to get out. I’m going to fight in Civil War 2….I guess.

      I am slowly killing myself so I do not have to live through all this shit for any longer than I have to. Doctor says I should take statins for hardening arteries, but a heart attack sounds like the best option right now. This whole place is so fucked, and I am trapped here.

        Take the statins if you can tolerate them. This shit won’t last forever. When they go down, it’ll happen fast.

          You know, you are the only one that has made a sensible point. I think I will take your advice, or at least heavily consider it. We’ll see how resilient Canada and Europe are in the next 3 months. They will not go down if all the other countries are infested with greedy parasites too.

      For what it is worth, I have been practicing my long arm. I figure that the antifa states will need soldiers, so I should volunteer to be on the line. Here’s hoping our efforts allow us to live in a better America. 🖖
