I guarantee he's going to try a military coup before 2028, probably even next year if the midterms don't go his way, and my only hope is that the Army and National Guard remember their oath is to the Constitution and not to Trump.

"I have been on two humanitarian-esque missions with the guard, which were awesome, doing the things you see on the commercial, helping these communities," says J. "And then you want me to go pick up trash and dissuade homeless people in D.C. at gunpoint. Like, no dude. It's so disheartening every time I see another city — and I just wonder, 'who's going to stand up to this?'"
Hmm. Maybe the people who "serve" the country and are loaded with body armor and guns?
Therapy and talking through your anxieties and emotions is deeply important. But it is a lower priority than not fucking aiming guns at people in the first place.

I may be wrong here but at this point and without Trump evoking the insourction act, can't the guard by law object to any deployment under the "posse comitatus" doctrine?

What tipped you off? The fact you were mostly walking around picking up trash or that most of the violence was being perpetrated by ICE?
