Not sure if he's sent them in tbh

He didn't. Gov Ralph Northam of Virbinia sent them in, at the request of DC mayor Muriel Bowser.
yes, both a re democrats.

Bbc said virgina's governor was sending national guard troops as the request of DC police. I don't know if Trump has sent anyone as well?

I'd seen social media accounts saying that the DoD refusal (coming from Trump) had been reversed, but I now can't refind it so it may not be true. DC isn't a state so its National Guard is federal controlled, unlike Virginia, who is helping.

Say what you like about North Korea, but there are no bare-chested moose hunters running amok during its parliamentary sessions.

who is this clown on Sky claiming that Trump issuing treated like a 3rd word leader because they asked about his tax records!

That overhead from CNN seemed to show a lot of people heading off, the day trippers may have realised it is time to go home.

Imagine thinking these scenes are the first indication that the US is not the exemplar people claim

This is now confirmed on CNN. I knew I'd seen it somewhere.

Fair enough...just still fits the fucking absurdity of it all.

2 hours to get out of Dodge. I'd be on my toes as well to be honest. Nothing good is going to come from hanging around much longer.

Has Kieth said owt yet

All the wanks they had about this, and now they get to carry out the military operation of their dreams. Some of them will totally have death-wishes and be happy to be gunned down in a veritable storm of ammo.

Did I miss the memo and Momentum pitch invaded Downing St without me last year?
