    Apparently they’re being mobilized in a way that doesn’t give them the full benefits including no housing allowance

    Trump absolutely hates paying people

      Trump absolutely hates paying people.

      However badly he treats the troops - they’ll still love him. And after the GOP SCOTUS 6 fucks the constitution and he runs for a third term - the troops will vote for him. His hogs have a deep humiliation fetish. They can’t get enough.

        Well he’s giving them an opportunity to do what they’ve always wanted to do: wanton violence against a less-equipped informal force composed largely of brown people?

      This whole year so far I keep thinking “surely they can’t be this fucking stupid, what am I not seeing?” And then it just turns out they’re stupid.

      I feel like Benoit Blanc except I keep falling for it every few weeks.

    no bed is one thing. if there’s air conditioning, might as well be the Hyatt.

    “This is what happens when the president and (Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth) demand the National Guard state assets deploy immediately with no plan in place … (and) no federal funding available for food, water, fuel and lodging,”

    but no food and not enough shitters is something else entirely. they are in a city so one imagines there is a source they can access with a continual supply of water. if i’m overestimating that, the show’s over.

    By Monday afternoon, additional National Guard troops were expected to reach Los Angeles, upping the total from around 300 late Saturday to more than 2,100.

    “Currently, there is no plan for where everyone is sleeping tonight,” the source said, adding that there was an urgent need to find more portable bathrooms and dumpsters for garbage.

    nobody is following orders after ~7 days without food, except the orders of God, which they are starting to pick up via mind-radio in their transcendence beyond the plane of material concerns.

    i’m curious about how things go if we get more cockups that make it clearer this pile of incompetent snivelers lacks the minimum required competence to do the basic civil unrest playbook of letting the local cops run amok while steering the media narrative. like, do you give the order for your unit to smoke a bunch of people because some alcoholic pundit told you to via text? or do you wonder if maybe they won’t be able to hold up their end… leaving you open to retaliation/justice in the future?

    1 trillion dollar budget and they can’t even bother to pay for hotel rooms or fly-in tents with bunks

    Good sign of imperial incompetence and arrogance concerning the well-being of their enforcers, once such disregard sets in, it always gets worse
