67,000 National Guard members are now on the streets, the largest number ever activated in the U.S.

The National Guard said Monday it had deployed 12,000 additional Air and Army Guardsmen for civil-unrest response in 23 states and Washington, D.C., making the 67,000 members now on the streets for the protests and Covid-19 the largest number ever activated in the U.S.

It’s about time

So American people don't even have freedom to protest?

When Chinese government send their national guard members to restore order leading by rioters, US are going to admit it's a violation of human rights... This called an adjustment double standard

What a great time we live in...could be killed by cops, infected by a virus, lose your job...or possibly all of the above...Is this still winning realDonaldTrump...

Thats grat

Yeah ... the idiot-in-chief is always seeking large. Compensation much😝

This is the beginning of the civil war, and if not, it is not far, until there is real justice, and racism is extinct from the white criminals.

Huge thank you to them!!!

Land of the free, my arse...

More armed and active military on US soil fighting US citizens than in the conflicted Middle East...

From booming economy and almost full employment to stalled economy, mass unemployment, civil unrest and martial law in a wink

Stop your mouth by soldiers! Nazi trump!

If National Guard and Law Enforcement agencies continue to shoot at innocent civilians with rubber bullets or riot paint rounds especially in residential neighborhoods where civilians are in their homes or on apartment balconies. Civilians will retaliate with lethal force...

67,000 ........ so many soldiers.......what a joke this nation is.

This is the start of martial law 😢

China plotted this

They should have been activate for the covid19, we had 50k death less , and half of the time from the stupid stay at home for 8 weeks , 2 weeks of carefew All over hot spots and problem solved now we 8 weeks with bigger problem and national guard lol 😂

THE REAL ISSUE IS BAD COPS! BIGGEST ISSUE SEEMS THE WHITE HATE HOUSE! MEN IN UNIFORM, THE GOOD COPS, WHO TOOK THE OATH TO PROTECT & SERVE THE AMERICAN,PEOPLE NEED TO STAND WITH US!

need 67,000 more then 67.000 more and bring 67.000 more.

...and COVID? This is realDonaldTrump living out his fantasies.

real sick men of America

....but they fight all over the globe with maximum presence.

Is this band-aid rather than trying to address the root cause?

Remember it takes three things to create a fire. Oxygen, fuel, and heat. Remove one and you don’t have a fire. Make a similar triangle with Poverty, Intolerance, and Instantaneous Media. Remove one and it may greatly reduce the explosion we have when horrific things happen.

Are they from Hong Kong?

'and Covid-19' ..... that's not why they were deployed.

Damn, it's sad. Very sad.

Trump needs to declare Marshall law and give the liberals a true taste of power of the government

The orange idiot would be pleased with that record.

Military and police traitors they rather protect the elite criminals

The most unsafe our Nation has ever been. Just think how vulnerable we are now.

Good, these aren’t Americans protestors anymore. They hate George Floyd, they hate freedom, they hate liberty, and they hate America. I’m the last to support martial law but Democrats have crossed the line

Thats called fascism

More winning for Trump

Tons of shows have often asked the question 'what would happen if the military was ever forced to decide between shooting at or siding with the people during a police action.' Unfortunately, I think they're going to shoot. We train to kill, not to protect.

When Trump means business - Trump goes BIG!

That's great what about covid-19 are we still all going to die

More winning

The die is cast.

Cezary The National Guard is protecting racism, violence and capitalism.

'I am deeply saddened, truly pained and plain angry:' NBA great Michael Jordan voices outrage over the death of GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloyd

Jesus....

Oh MAGAd!

And Americans used to blame India for discrimnating.

This isn’t your Kent State era, poorly trained Guard. They deployed to many combat theaters. They need clear orders from their Governor & Adj General. Trump isn’t a player in this at all. Trump is a military school general.....w/bone spurs.

Yay! Trump is winning again.

Bullish

Silver_Watchdog

Violence is no answer.but if unequal violence by state,its a threat to democracy.people may have no choice to use same means to make their voices heard?but lt leads anarchy&military dictatorship? President ask American people to pray for change of heart to love,justice to Lyold?

I have no respect or mercy on these rioters and looters!! Miserable Democrats who hate everybody

so this time the US government gonna to spend part of ur defense budget(weapon force) on ur own citizen ? 😩

Awesome! God bless you all!

Keep the peace. I need the Dow to go up.

That’s the TRUMP EFFECT

Trump's America. This is what 25% unemployment looks like. This is what a pandemic that Trump said was a hoax looks like. These national guards are walking city streets because of Trump's incompetence. Vote Biden2020Landslide Because we can't take 4 more years of this.

Anyon Siluanov must be loving this - conquering the US and GETTING THEM TO PAY FOR IT AND PROVIDE THE STAFF!!!

And relative to pop size?

Maybe it’s time to do front page report on fact that there has NOT been an investigation into DJT’s financial ties to foreign powers hostile to US democracy. Many MAGA folks think IG Horowitz and/or Mueller did so. Not based on my read. Help! USA failing.

Why didn't the case of Zhang Yingying, a Chinese scholar, cause riots in the US and around the world? It can be seen that the racial struggle in America is only egoistic and narrow.

Yes we have to stop violence, hatred and looting. Peace rallies are fine

It's nothing compared to what the CCP was doing

Trump, Barr, Esper and Tom Cotton are advocating that our military fire on it's citizens instead of addressing the real issues of 400 years of violence against certain groups. The GOP would attack anyone who isn't white.

IF THE US ARBITRARY LAWS CAN NOT BE REFORMED THAT COUNTRY GOVERNMENT MUST BE OVERTHROWN !!! Victore Halls.

Full of winning from this administration.

Police state confirmed. Don’t let them silence you

佩洛西表示很遗憾,为什么要镇压最美风景线

Making America great Again Trump is pathetic

I feel safer already,,.

One knucklehead racist cop kills an unarmed black man and the while country goes under lock-down. Go figure.

Good - anyone who loots gets shot fingers crossed

War on Americans. What an embarrassment. Racism runs deep. Property is more valuable than 'human stock'. Trump is deranged. realDonaldTrump senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC

About damn time.

Fuck the police AND the national guard. What principles are you defending?

9 outta 10 times the Nat G is used, is for race related oppression. Instead of wasting resources, fix the problem. GeorgeFloydWasMurdered

Good! We need it.

Country of losers who deserve to lose everything prior generations basically gave to us. Cant wait until they realize whats its like to be poor

Winning

America is a failed state

realDonaldTrump still Making America Great Again.

Have these armed forces lost their conscience....😳😳😳

Sad to see military used against American citizens! Reminds us of Saddam Husain or Colonel Gaddafi or Bashar Hafez al-Assad taking actions on their own people! Do we have moral right to tell others of democratic process?

Trump likes the break records..

at war against own people? sorry, is this still the once adorable America?

Bullish

Still waiting for governors to grow spines and issue order to clear streets, otherwise the guard are just a meaningless group of bystanders costing tax payer money

At war with itself

Sad they have to take orders from a tyrant.

Don’t be so sure the National Guard won’t defect under these circumstances. The nation is in crisis and we are at a pivotal point in history. I know I wouldn’t be thrilled to defend the actions of a murderous cop

Are we great again yet?

So Trump is going to kill his own people? Those who are a part of the builders of his economy? Strange conception.

Donald Trump is a crazy psychopath. BLACK_LIVES_MATTER

Ole Donnie loves his records

67K largest number mobilized in US? What about the 115K National Guard trooos mobilized 1916-1917 for service on Mexican Border? They came from every state.

Move closer to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave... overthrew of government underway!

we are living in a movie! quarantine, riots, police brutality, looting, i would like to rewind and return this film before its too late and i find out the ending

They’re going to war with us

Fascist pigs.

The United States is a repressive terrorist state conducting state terrorism against its minorities.

Looks like a self-coup, Nextel year Trump proclamed himself Emperor

While Orange Mussolini hides under his desk. Sad!

btcconfidant morrrrrr

Good job

We are in a crazy time, where leaders care more for buildings than lost lives. If they guard the minorities with same force and give same attention and allocate same resources for abuse of power &systematic racism we would see the opposite all this. Practicedefencelessness

The enemy is attacking inside like nine eleven When did they get inside? 19 years plan!

What could go wrong?

I predict an escalation. Oh. I guess it’s already happened

To review: over 1000,000 dead from COVID-19 Highest unemployment since great depression Highest national debt Highest number of 'acting' admn members Highest number of admins departures Highest number of days spent golfing Highest number of deployed National Guard troops

And they haven't gotten a single kill? Lol?

The majority of that number is supporting COVID-19 response, they are not 'on the street'

God bless those soldiers, and thank you for your service.

Go ahead with the control agenda. We all know they have been waiting since the first coronavirus case to restrict our liberties. Is a plan those awake expect. But be careful.

Is America Great again?

The more people will be pressed the more they will rise. History tells us so.

When US has no one to war with so it starts killing it's own 😷

Let’s get to 1 million. Like Trump said DOMINATE.

Stock market loves this kinda news

jordiborras WTF with the anarchists

这是悲哀,只是为了20美元,要了1条人命,美国种族岐视吹之不退,是美國人民下幸,一石激起千重浪,恐怕暴动陆续有来,愈演愈烈持續2个月,美国今年运气倒霉,我在4月已提醒过美国会出事。

Trump: I can do it bigger and better. 🤦‍♂️

Sell fulfilling prophcey.

Are they going to be killing Americans now?

Call it like it is! The Republican Party = Racism Inc. and Trump their poster child. Remember white supremist Spencer's 'Heil Trump'? or KKK David Duke's 'Trumps our man'? The Republican Party spent years casting Blacks/Hispanics as subhuman, criminal leeches living on welfare.

I appreciate what the National Guard should be used for. I hope that no one has the false impression that members of white supremacy groups and nationalists aren’t embedded in the National Guard. PaulDRamone BlackLivesMatter CNN

A good move

More winning.

Don’t ever forget that The force of the people is the force of God, if the people don’t satisfied what they want according to law, these guards will never do any thing.

stocks liking the events, b bitcoin too

Buy guns and ammo. Democrats are rioting, killing and burning everything in site. Protect your family, business and yourselves. Elected Dems are standing down to allow and the media encourages it. Be on alert!

Trump is really the most hated American president of all time ... truth 😁 😁😂 History !

SpainSupportsTrump

It's exporting or importing democracy!?

Even national guard has to follow either state or federal versions of the UCMJ. Record everything.

trumps Authoritarian Regime

Thanks to the disastrous failure of racist leadership by Trump, we now have soldiers in the streets, just like Nazi Germany in 1936.

Law and Order. Peace and Prosperity. Not Violence and Chaos.

George Floyd's murder was not the cause, but the excuse!

Does this statistic remain valid if measured on a per capita basis?

About damn time

Winning

Winning !!!

Good.

Fuck the National Guard.

Sometimes you don't declare martial law, you just do it.

The winning really needs to stop

Trump really blows everything.

Trump's police state. Flush the turd on November 3rd!
