The Troops in DC

President Dipshit still rolls out his note-for-note speech just about every other day about Washington DC ever since he sent in the National Guard a year ago, you know the one where everybody in DC was scared to leave their house & there were zero restaurants able to operate since criminals were just slashing everybody's throats until Trump heroically sent the troops in, but gee whaddya know it turns out the troops haven’t done shit and are mostly embarrassed at how they’ve been used by Trump:

A year into President Donald Trump’s unprecedented deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., some of the troops sent there say they are embarrassed by the mission and increasingly question why they are still there.

Three current National Guard members told NPR, speaking anonymously because they remain in service, that the deployment has left them frustrated and concerned about the military’s reputation.

“I will say very frankly that the bad taste that this mission left in my mouth, it actually embarrasses me to be involved in any way,” one said.

Another said the experience had made him reluctant to even identify with the Guard. “I don’t want to think about the National Guard. I don’t want to necessarily discuss my affiliation with the National Guard. I don’t want to fulfill my normal National Guard duties just because of the abuses of the National Guard in this D.C. mission,” he said.

"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), "all of your brilliant 'oh gee but the Shake Shack by me has never been safer' wisecracks aside, didn't you make a video last year profusely thanking Trump for saving DC?"

Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I did:
