Trump regime spends money on armed authorities just standing around

but can't afford to pay for school meals for vulnerable students.

Millions of dollars is being spent to militarize Washington, D.C. so government agents can stand around and get paid to stand around and do nothing.

The few officers actually doing something is just giving out fix it tickets.

This is why children can’t have free school lunches.

they're not standing around doing nothing.

"They" are waiting for just one person to open gunfire or agitate a street scene so Hegseth can come down like an anvil and spark a Kent State-like shooting into the crowd scenario. "They" made a point of getting it in the news today that they just passed out handguns yesterday to the NG.

These millions are an investment to kick off Martial Law and postpone elections.

How quaint. These greedy racist psychopaths the Turd is representing are going to be the end of "America" as we knew it.
