“In the spring of 2020, Mark T. Esper, the defense secretary, was alarmed to learn of an idea under discussion at a top military command and at the Department of Homeland Security to send as many as 250,000 troops — more than half the active U.S. Army, and a sixth of all American forces — to the southern border in what would have been the largest use of the military inside the United States since the Civil War.”

What you quoted sounds like BS but whatever. Lets say for the sake of argument its true that 250,000 troops were to be sent to the border............ What would be wrong with the military defending the border? It seems to me that DEFENDING our borders is just about the only valid use of our military. Its not the world's police or a meals on wheels program. Our military exists to defend THIS country from invasion.

Looks like the clowns still haven’t learned the definition of invasion yet.

I got an emoji from Skully and one lame attempt at a response from afoaf. No attempt though to refute or debate the core of my reply. Its a real simple question so you wizards of smart should have no problem engaging. Gere it is again: What would be wrong with the military defending the border?

Back in the Mid-Evil days they would build walls around the cities. Then there enemies would barricade them in and set the roofs on fire and all the inhabitants were trapped and burned to death. Cool story.

You dingalings are effectively volunteers for the Trump 2024 Campaign.

Both parties are doing everything they can to motivate the other party.

Biden scolding Israel… after providing them with money for bombs
Texas and abortion rulings
Trumps criminal trials (fuel for both parties)

It’s not really the Democrat Party I’m talking about, it’s just the general anti-Trumpian obsession with destroying the man that’s everywhere you look. Right or wrong, it just makes the Trump MAGist’s even more determined.

As soon as Joe Biden was elected, the “progressive” collective should’ve just proceeded to ignore the man as best as possible.

Unfortunately, most “progressives” are petty little bitches who just cannot stand to be talked back to.

Maybe that’s how it’ll play out in 2024. But in 2020 the anti-Trump energy overpowered MAGA determination.

The abortion issue specifically seems to motivate voters…
