The Trump administration has withdrawn all federalized National Guard troops from U.S. cities, after its repeated attempts to surge forces into Democrat-run states encountered judicial roadblocks, the Washington Post reports.
The pullout was quietly finalized late last month, occurring with no public acknowledgment from the White House or the Pentagon. It was a remarkable turnabout after President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had insisted the mobilizations were necessary to combat what they claimed was unchecked violence and to support enforcement of the nations immigration laws.

(11,115 posts)I just want to wake up to the news that the child-rapist piece of shit has been found dead. Is that REALLY that much to ask for from a nearly 80-year old in poor physical and mental condition? I hate that I am having to watch my father (83) fade away into the great unknown while he loses his life a piece at a time over the last 5 years (mom, then house, then mobility, then desire, then memories... my dad was a great father and role model and upstanding man in every sense of the word, and he did NOT deserve to go out like this while Trump goes out while flamethrowering the world and torpedoing US reputation while lying thousands of times a month.
This entire era - from that fucking escalator to this morning - has been a cruel joke on so many, a stain on the nation that will never wash off. FML...
