So wait...the President can activate the National Guard in DC? I thought only the Speaker could do that.

That's a common point of confusion, especially in the wake of the events of January 6, 2021. The Speaker of the House does not have the authority to activate the National Guard. The authority lies with the President, who is the commander-in-chief of the D.C. National Guard.

Here's a breakdown of the key roles and responsibilities:

The President: The President is the ultimate authority over the D.C. National Guard. This authority has been delegated to the Secretary of Defense and further to the Secretary of the Army. The President can also federalize state National Guard units and deploy them to D.C.

The Speaker of the House: The Speaker has authority over the House side of the Capitol, including the House Sergeant at Arms. However, the Speaker's role is to request security assistance, not to command or activate military forces.

The Capitol Police Board: This board, made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, and the Architect of the Capitol, is responsible for the overall security of the Capitol complex. The board is the entity that would formally request National Guard assistance for the Capitol.

During the January 6th attack, there was much debate and confusion about the process and who was responsible for the delays in deploying the National Guard. The key takeaway is that while requests for assistance can come from various officials, the final authority to activate and deploy the D.C. National Guard rests with the executive branch, specifically the President.

Great. But where are the Epstein files??

We’re one Epstein file leak away from trump declaring martial law.

Looks like things are shaping up to make another stellar week of winning under this administration. And to think it's only Monday!!!

Noticed the reference to Orban in one of those tweets. Called him a very smart man. JHC

Removed Obamas and both Bush's portraits so visitors can no longer see them. How insane to you need to be to do something like this? You can't change or re-write history no matter how hard you try.

Holy crap, Trump might make the nation's capital livable again and not a dystopian crime-ridden hell hole? Stacking up Ws.

He's asked the supreme court to make racial profiling legal. If they go for it, his gestapo will be able to pull people off the street with no warrant or due process based on their skin color or the language they speak.

Crime In DC was at an all time low in January. If you left your mom’s basement you might know that. He’s fixing another problem that didn’t exist while spending all your tax money. You’re such a ****.

When FBI agents are getting car jacked and government officials are jumped and or killed, party time is over.

DC will cease to be autonomous.

The snipers on the rooftops should take pictures of them through the scopes, have them printed up on t shirts and sell them to the crowd.

They don't have a pair big enough in the crowd.

Dummies. Lee contradicts himself "It's not China that are paying the tariffs..." but then later says "China is making a killing off of us." Grant is too dumb to understand that some things like computer chips are made from minerals that can't be sourced domestically; So I guess he doesn't need his phone or whatever electronic he used to write that comment. At last we have Stephanie, Trump can do no wrong in her eyes
