    I don't really see the whole garage deal as a big thing.

    If there was a real Emergency I would say no, but this DC Panic attack driven by left media paranoia is no excuse to treat them this way.

    I agree the whole deployment was unnecessary and was nothing more than an attempt by Biden's handlers to engage in some force projection to show the American People who is in charge. when a President has to hide behind 25,000 troops, there is something seriously wrong. My wife looked at the security arrangements and asked me if they were expecting the Chicoms to invade.

    The Chicoms have invaded. They were sworn in on the 20th.

    No sanitation. No personal hygiene. No separation. If this had occurred under Trump this would be called a super spreader event and more grounds for impeachment.
