After Trump sent 800 National Guard troops to D.C., six GOP-led states offered hundreds of their own guardsmen to help address the capital's supposed "crime emergency." Ironically, many cities in these states experience more crime than D.C.
The States Sending Troops to DC Have Way Worse Crime Problems. Most Didn’t Want to Talk About It.
Nothing ironic about it. If you analyze every accusation, comment or criticism that the Trumpy Republican or MAGA people say about Democrat(ic) people, cities, goals, attitudes, etc it will damn near always reflect exactly what’s wrong with them, their cities, policies, attitudes, etc like a mirror
Hilarious but ridiculous hypocrisy.
It isn’t about any crime emergency! It is about a wannabe dictator taking over our country bit by bit & using our military to do that with impunity, thanks to the 6 Trump MAGA SCOTUS judges!
Is it irony, or deflection by those responsible for the economic disparity responsible for the outsized portion of crimes in their communities?
Instead of helping the community, felon Trump invades the community. No Justice
I would say hypocritically, rather than Ironically.
This isn't about crime.
I'm seeing this as Tr*mp moving to protect DC as he plans to do something else requiring that protection.
. Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are all in this together. Remember.
This would all STOP if they objected. <<<
They have now become the enemy. Treat them accordingly!
It’s not ironic. Be factual - DC has a lower crime rate than many red States.
Democrats needs to get rid of dead wood are you a fighter or a drag on the party?
WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA!!
Bondi/Homan Ballard(CoreCivic)/Geo Group make money from prisons/detention centers.
Trump doesn't want anymore protests especially like No 👑 Kings Protests!
And the excessive cost- millions. But let’s not feed the kids, provide health care, terrorize communities, or cancer research. Yep, makes perfect sense. 😡
Maybe the Democrats should start to talk about what states have the most crime… including which cities!
Let’s EXPOSE the Republican LIES and their NEFARIOUS PLANS!
This is about crime. It is about suppression. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...
States in glass houses should keep their Guard at home. These states, with higher urban crime rates than DC, sent troops to DC: #WestVirginia #SouthCarolina #Ohio #Louisiana #Mississippi #Tennessee
Free DC. Jail pedophile Trump.
This is misuse of the National Guard as his own personal army and it won't work, it's not legal and people are not going for it. He will be defeated on this. He might actually try to send DC NG which he does have control over elsewhere.
Yes, I was wondering what the red states would do. Thanks for answering my question. Why DC, why now? What exceptionally bad crap is he planning beside election theft?
So can blue states now send troops in to liberate the crime ridden red cities that child rapist protectors don’t want to discuss? I mean there’s crime and then there are Dems in red states that want child rapists to thrive!
The red states know this helps their jobs numbers
Takes some of the guardsmen who are currently sitting at home unemployed and puts them on the government payroll
Some of their employers may have "double-dipping" benefits and pay them their normal salaries while they are in DC
Welfare in action
Sad. Unfair.
Of course it is about crime… and the DC voters don’t vote for them, or have representation in the House, or Senate, and too many have the wrong skin color….
Oops, did I say something out loud that I shouldn’t have?
The crime problem in DC is not in the city's homes, businesses, or streets. It is in the White House, this unqualified regime, Congress, and the Supreme Court.
Top to bottom, the GOP are masters at projection.
Remember when military officials assured the public they wouldn't abide or support a coup? Then came Michael Flynn and David Petraeus and we found out our generals were actually racist fascists who actually wanted a dictatorship and would go as far as treason to get one.
It's time for BLUEXIT. Secede from the Union. Let the red states support themselves. I'm tired of my Federal tax money going to lazy assholes.
truth is immaterial now....no match with reality....tomfoolery abounds & the chaos and disorientation reigns....as does the Orange Fascist Felon Sex Criminal King who is screaming and hollering to be held accountable by continuing his reign of terror against the people in the U.S. (non-white mainly)
It is not about crime, its power and intimidation.
“Irony” implies we are surprised…
Once again dems take the bait and fall in the trap
It’s not abt crime that’s obvious because trump keeps saying it is so there’s ur tell on that
His massive fudging of ice was to build his army of loyal soldiers for his upcoming attempt to remain in power
Create charts with the murder rates of all US states. Compare red and blue states, making it so simple that any MAGA can understand it. Only with easily understandable facts can you reach Trump's voters.
The moment soldiers take on the work of police, the state has already declared war on its own people.
A short history of soldiers policing citizens and the democracies that fell with them
The emergency is racism 😪
The rate of reenlistment is going to plummet because of these fools choices. When they actually need their guardsmen for disasters in their own state, they won't have enough.
It’s martial law without the announcement of martial law.
They are all examples of Govenors that are more interested in Trump than in their own states. 😔😔sad
It’s sad.
Of course red stses have more crime and are a bigger burden on federal finances, but they want a war with blue states. Oldest method to subvert a population. Americans are too stupid to think critically anymore. The corporations won 40 years ago with Reagan
Piling on like this may be intended to distract voters at home but may well boomerang as it seems to say they are not interested in addressing local issues, only faraway non-issues. Performative politics can backfire.
