So how do we feel about Gov Noem sending National Guard to the Southern Border?

tnt · 2021-07-01T16:13:24.786Z

I don’t believe we know she would have sent them without the money.

I doubt it… then the taxpayer would be funding her useless political stunt.

I make not judgement either way. You however did.

thats funny

tnt:

A mega donor paid to have the guards do his bidding

tnt:

Noem is a sweetheart of sensational news media and is hiring out her guardsman to keep herself in the headlines

and we don’t know she wouldn’t have either

tnt · 2021-07-01T16:23:40.472Z

Yes - that is a conclusion based on WHAT SHE DID. Not on what we THINK she did, or what we think she wouldn’t do.

She took money to send guardsman to the border. That is what we know.

I suggested the reason she did it.

You on the other hand want to believe she would have done it any way. We can not know that because it did not happen.

Right. I am not basing my opinion on what she might have, or might not have done.

I am basing my opinion on what she did.

You are basing your opinion on the notion that she might have done it anyway.

We don’t know either way on that score, so it’s pointless to opine about it.

we know two things

gov noem ordered ng to the border
a donor organization that supports the move agreed to pay for the deployment

there is nothing wrong with either.

They were just tourists petitioning their government for redress of grievances.

I was riffing on the Senator who called them tourists.

But I suppose since the Constitution didn’t spell out exactly how petitions for redress of grievances were to happen, one could say rioting and breaking into Congress to disrupt it is a power that the Constitution via the 9th Amendment stated was reserved for the states or the people.

Numerous deaths because of the kerfuffles started by groups your party endorsed.

CNN’s Dana Bash on Kristi Noem deploying National Guard troops paid by a GOP donor: “Would you use political donation to send your troops to the border?”

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson: “Not for this purpose… I would consider it a bad precedent to have it privately funded.”

Noem deems the Biden admin disastrous border policy hazardous to her state doesnt she have the right to do what protects her state?

The Biden Administration is busing and flying illegal immigrants into various states across the country. It’s insane to imagine that a US administration has decided to dump the poverty and problems from various countries into US states so that their taxpayers now have to deal with it.

Plus billions in damages.

This is pretty interesting. Why are we outraged by this? Is it because they’re National Guard?
