It's being taken care of as I type. Hotels across the city are opening up their vacant rooms. Fact is, the NG did not have the funds to pay for lodging accommodations for all them AND THAT STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO.
Deal with it Chrissy. If the tyrant in the Oval Office had done this to illegal aliens, you and your cohorts would have started 50 threads about it.

And then openly and very publicly question their loyalty and honor by disarming them, telling the world that they MUST be vetted due to having NO TRUST in men THEY DEMANDED DROP EVERYTHING to protect these liberal scum. And if thats not bad enough, Force these men to sleep in a god*** parking garage!

This is so beyond the pale of disgusting behavior that i am so angry i can barely see straight! And i heard something about Pelosi demanding belt fed machine gun nests set at the perimeter to mow down citizens (though i cant confirm that)

Called up to face a non-existent inauguration threat is bad enough...now they are spreading Covid to each other (and heavens knows how many of the public) thru no fault of their own.

When I say non-existent inauguration threat I mean non-existent in DC...certainly the violent left is continuing to burn stuff in their simmering Portland insurrection:

It was striking that Fauci never once cautioned about pandemic travel (National Guard, guests, general public) to Biden's inauguration after lecturing us ad nauseum regarding pandemic travel travel over the New Year's holiday just three short weeks ago. Are he and Biden now responsible for Biden's super spreader event?

They were put into hotel rooms after it had come out that they'd been pushed out to the garage. The powers that be were shamed into moving them to hotels.

The National Guard said it originally moved troops out of the Capitol Rotunda and other spaces to garages at the behest of the Capitol Police. The Guardsmen were allowed back inside late Thursday after reports were widely shared of the conditions in the garages, with few bathrooms and little covering from the cold.

Mostly this political brew-ha-ha is just that. With some basic needs met, these soldiers can tolerate a lot rougher than a parking garage as quarters.
I'm sure the conditions are rough in third world s*** hole countries. But, the conditions in our nations capital are much better, or should be anyway.

Typical lefty logic: 'the troops have miserable conditions elsewhere so why not let them have miserable conditions while they are in our nations capital. Their lives don't matter, they are expendable.'


smh.

Joe’s doing about as well as predicted.
Maybe if foolish folks with horns on their heads draped in flags toting guns would have simply protested outside the Capitol, and not threatened the VP and promised to return with violence - they would not been deployed. Not sure what the commanding officers are doing to make sure there is common sense in this operation- but it’s on them.

They have hotel rooms, the parking garage was for breaks. Why keep pushing a false narrative like this?

A non-existent right wing threat? 6 people died at the Capitol on the 6th the same thugs were making noise about another attack.
