Again I don’t recognize the photo in time? I recognize the capital but without knowing context you aren’t making your point. I am guessing that this photo was sometime right after January 6th and the capital riots. If so I don’t remember any republican members of congress saying that it was too much protection for them.

And besides it came down after 6 months anyway. And it was put up because of the violence that occurred. What Trump is doing now is not warranted and nothing more than right wing conservative theater.

Yawn. No economic disaster is underway. Oh wait, you leftists believed the crap about a recession and bailed on the now record stock market. Your support of criminals is noted. As usual, the left will claim there's no problem as buildings burn and people are killed right behind them.

Can he? Is that possible under statute or constitutional law ?

I mean, the Guard was not deployed for the Jan 6th brouhaha despite the efforts of then President Trump . . .so WTF?

Maybe that deployment isn't to protect citizens in the DC metro area, but rather to protect someone' with a real fragile ego, and pending release of details from a certain file by the name of Epstein.

Protecting whom from whom is a better question.
