President Joe Biden expresses his 'dismay' at members of the National Guard sleeping in an underground car park while in Washington DC as extra security for his inauguration following the US Capitol riot.

Congressman Tim Ryan, who leads a subcommittee that oversees the Capitol Police budget, said interim chief Pittman and other commanders would eventually need to testify about their decision-making.

The National Guard Bureau said that of the Guard troops deployed to DC for the inauguration, just 10,600 remained on duty on Thursday. After the reports of guardsmen sleeping in the car park emerged, first lady Jill Biden visited Guard troops outside the Capitol, bringing them cookies and thanking them for protecting her family.Hundreds of guardsmen test positive for coronavirus, official says

They don't look to distressed. Similar to Training on would think.

Disgusting and appalling. 🤬🤬🤬

Thanks ABC for this news....Get ready for fun with the new government in USA...

A lot better than being out side, ask any infantrymen!

Response from President three days after it was news worldwide. Another example of local police failure .

what's the big deal ? how to house 25,000 plus personnel ? they are soldiers ..... no news here .... move on ... there are homeless people sleeping on the street in Australia

Pelosi, her not coming forward gives it away. After reading this she will with some excuse.

The left thrives on delusion

Biden has 4 years to destroy & screw up the country; slow down there Jo Jo

Here is what US army thinks of Biden. Most of US soldiers from National Guard turned their bake at Bidens motorcade during inauguration. Won’t see that on the news

They’re soldiers with their respective farter and wose mats - better than out field. They won’t get wet!!

Only a few days late with the news there guys.

I’m sure they’ve slept in worse places.

They were given a basket of cookies from First Lady. That should be enough.

That's what soldiers do.

Thst 'news' is at least 48 hours old🙄

and new site post this stuff for more ratings

good for there training

What's wrong with the Trump Hotel?

Why lead with that when the article also says 'The statement noted that off-duty troops have hotel rooms or 'other comfortable accommodations' ' They're on active duty not on a bloody holiday.

“God Bless Our Troops” Joe Biden, 2020.

These are trained soldiers. This is what they do. Too many people sitting home running their own little press button armies. This is far more comfortable than sleeping in a muddy hole on the ground. I know, I've done that. These guys are in luxury. Don't make everything political

President Trump offered National Guards accommodation on his properties. Thanks for reporting that....oh wait ..

Ohhhh.................. how that country is about to crumble.

They're trained to kill ppl and sleep in all sorts of conditions, im sure they'll be ok.

It's only temporary until Joe can ship them all off to the Middle East. 😏

By my standards that is luxury, a roof over their head, clean surface to lay on, protected from mud, water and cold and 3 square meals a day. Now that’s an easy day.

Imagine if we had a news outlet that told the news how it actually is - just imagine if you will, how that may look.

They're soldiers, on active duty who are resting while there's nothing to do. They arent toddlers in childcare who need a pillow and a blanky.

Sorry soldiers learn to sleep whenever they can where ever they can These soldiers would be happy its at least dry

Sorry, having served in the army, this is pretty cozy.

Cue triggered cheeto jesus cuck-tards in three... two... one...

They probably might have enjoyed sleeping in the wet grounds of Vietnam.

Are they men or little boys?

USNationalGuard to Secure WhiteHouse and those are sleeping on ground since days so howmany days they sleep their President JoeBiden? DC certainly needs security until Trump's 2nd impeachment over! But our securities are human being need camps wherever deployed them! Author-NJ

Surely Uncle Joe, the peoples champion would let them stay in the White House... Well, maybe the minority ones at least.

Say welcome Joe-Kamala clows

Please research before posting trumplican propaganda:

no longer required for photo ops. This is what Biden really thinks of vets and the military.

Middle eastern children forced to sleep in the rubble of their cities. cry me a River.

Thank you National Guard & Embassy Suites Hilton

Wait until they find out what soldiers actually do!!!

Big deal! Most of them are Republican voters....

Trumps fault 🤣 just like everything else that's wrong in the world 😂 msmclowns MSM ABCNews lacks Opinion Diversity 👎 And 🇦🇺 is paying the bill. $1 billion wasted dollars 💸💸🚽

So travelers have been sleeping on airport floors for decades, and everybody is fine about it. But trained SOLDIERS sleep on the floor a night and everyone goes crazy. 😂

That’s what happens when you vote for JoeBiden

They have been allowed back into the Capitol building:

I'm sure they've slept in worse places.

It's the national fucking guard..they can handle it.

As soon as the cameras were off on after inauguration day they kicked them out. That's Biden's America, but naturally TheirABC won't report that.

Any reporting on Trump opening his hotel for them to stay? No, okay.

Wouldn't have been there in the first place if Trump insurrectionist didn't violently attack and loot the Capitol.

Until Trump opened his hotel up to them...

Treat 'em mean keep 'em keen? lol

It's where they were taking their breaks,not sleeping. Some laid down during breaks. Those were in photos!

US women's national team to appeal pay claim | The World GameThe US women's national team can proceed with their appeal over claims for equal pay after a judge on Tuesday (AEST) approved a settlement between the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and the players over working conditions. You do know they LITERALLY get payed more by USSF than the men’s team, hence why the Federal Judge in California no less threw out their claim If the women's national league is about the same size as a men's state league, then the relevant pay parity point is that of a state league player. Sell more gameday tickets, memberships, jersey's and merchandise. That's how you earn equality, not complaining to a court coz men earn more. Men do exactly what I just stated. Earn your money, don't demand it.

US stocks lose ground as new US-China tensions emergeUS stocks ease back from record highs as investors get set for another row between the US and China, while stimulus talks drag on. another ABC beat-up, it is not 'tension', it is competition and what the US should have been focussing on all along. Instead of whining and trying to unsuccessfully nobble its competition, the US needs a revamp to make itself better than its rivals. Love the max saturation photo. Was it taken on an iPhone? Biden and Xi called each other on the Chinese New Year Eve Day. ABC fake news is trying to cover up the wrong side that Morrison government stands.
