“… Documents obtained by FOX News show planning for activations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming – with status effective from August through mid-November. Texas is projected to host the most significant Guard presence.

The National Guard soldiers being mobilized will effectively serve as a support pillar to a sweeping federal interagency effort, while also serving as a visible deterrent force, a U.S. Defense official said. The service members supporting ICE will be preforming case management, transportation, logistical support, and clerical functions associated with the processing of illegal migrants at the facilities. …”
 
So the DC occupation is not about crime, it's about rounding up brown people ? That makes more sense to me...

I agree (and it may be more like quite a lot in Texas and a handful elsewhere). It may be mostly performative by governors who want a piece of the law and order glow … but it also could be a first, gentle step to get people used to the idea of using military for internal policing ahead of much more substantial actions.

An intractable, and perpetually dangerous, percentage of the US population will always seek regression, retrograde, reactionary politics.

Way farther back than that - the 1890s.
 


“… Caputo said he suspects one factor driving Trump in D.C. is a desire to ensure that the city is ready to host next year’s commemoration of the country’s 250th anniversary. “We will increase tourism because of the news coverage of what he’s doing in D.C.,” Caputo said. “People who would like to come are watching and they’re more likely to visit during the celebration. This is about ‘America 250.’” …”

——

The beautification part of his agenda is consistent with decades of being a gadfly about public spaces in NYC and seems mostly harmless if he would limit his intrusion to that (though his press to just replace rather than repair streets sounds like a wasteful slap
some paint on it corner-cutting that will cost more in the long run).

Nothing Trump does is going to increase DC tourism. The folks that follow Trump largely are not going on any trip to any city. Period. Ever. No matter the circumstance.

And anybody not in the Trump cult is intentionally staying away.

I think that gives them too much strategic cred. This asshole is just winging it.
