Nothing was done to help these people. That isn't how MAGA rolls. |
Per Bondi, there have been 68 illegal guns seized since Trump took over MPD and flooded the city with federal law enforcement officers. That’s…almost normal? From 6/16-6/22, MPD alone got 50. From 7/21-7/27, it was 60. From 6/30-7/6, it was 70 guns.

Hundreds more National Guard troops are expected to arrive in Washington, D.C., in the coming days, with at least four Republican-led states offering to send additional soldiers to join the 800 D.C. National Guard troops already activated by President Donald Trump, according to the states' governors.
Troops from West Virginia have begun to arrive in the nation's capital, according to a Sunday evening update from the task force overseeing Guard personnel in D.C. The total numbers are expected to grow to more than 1,700 in coming days as more troops arrive from Mississippi, Ohio and South Carolina. |
Good. Glad someone is finally doing something to protect us. And by “us,” I mean those of us who work in DC, but don’t have our own security detail for personal protection. |
Wut? I don't feel safer downtown. Actually, I only see feds near the national mall where crime is pretty nonexistent. |
But they aren't going to prosecute any of them! https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/08/19/pirro-dc-rifle-shotgun-charges/ "Federal prosecutors in D.C. have been instructed not to seek felony charges against people who are carrying rifles or shotguns in the nation’s capital, regardless of the strength of the evidence, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and an email reviewed by The Washington Post." |
To totally occupy and have minimal control DC Trumps need to bring in 7,000-8,000 troops. You will get a lot more of this https://www.npr.org/2025/08/20/g-s1-83950/national-guard-dc-crash And the NG will definitely shoot some civilians soon. |
So now it’s DOUBLE. Yay! |
How is 68 in a week somehow "double" 50 in a week? Let alone "double" 70? Geeze you suck at math. Ignorance must be bliss, and it's certainly a hallmark of Trump cheerleaders. |
Hasn't it already been "7 nights"? There are national guard hanging out at the metro station looking like "what the f are we even doing here?" |
I hope they don’t start just inventing reasons to “do something.” |
It’s coming military rule Maga has destroyed America I can not wait for the dummies to realize Trumps dictatorship makes them like North Koreans oh hey they are too dumb to know that when it happens and it will |
Even during these trying times, we are still using punctuation. Try it, you might like it. |

The entire thing is invented for trumps pretend tv ratings. |
