Those guards should be at home with their families right now. I’m praying for them and their families.

As a veteran, I am appalled. 1. The National Guard does not belong as a show of force in the nation's capital. 2. Kegsbreath is an abomination to this country's military and should be removed. 3. Americans should resist every facsit of the ongoing grab by this administration's grab at absolute power. 4. Trump has slid beyond any recognition of sanity. 5. America, as we know it, will cease to exist under this administration unless it is stopped, abruptly and in its tracks! I, for one, will uphold the oath I took over 50 years ago, and will hold the line between sanity and fascism.
