      Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized the federal deployment of National Guard troops in her city, stating that most of the soldiers were left with little to do other than „playing video games“ and guarding empty federal buildings.

      Around 4,000 guardsmen were deployed by President Donald Trump to Los Angeles early last month, against the wishes of state and city officials, in response to protests, some of which turned violent, against immigration enforcement actions across the city.

      According to Bass, only 200 of those deployed were actually utilized, leaving the rest idling in „complete boredom.“

      I’d rather they do that than cruelly grab senior immigrants off the streets. Play away.

      Reading this just after the article of NK soldiers got addicted to porn in Russia is so funny

      Apparently the perfect job for me was “non-utilized national guardsman” this whole time.

      Government of fiscal responsibility everyone.

      Real efficient now aren’t we?

      Note: id rsther throw money down the drain than go to war, but still, it’s just another idiotic, not thought through, performative action by this fucking regime

      You mean when bored LAPD officers decided to fire potshots at foreign journalists?

      and the big climax was marching through an empty park with a film crew, losers

      Democrats should have spun it as a waste of resources during fire season from the beginning

      Oh look. Even more efficient use of your tax dollars. Compliments of the Trump administration

      It’s a good thing there weren’t any wildfires or hurricanes during that time.

      I suppose.

      I’m just waiting for the right wing media to freak out that their hypermasculine awesome troops play video games. That sucking sound you hear is all the tradwives lady parts shriveling up.

      It was a show of force style authoritarian statement. Aka domestic terrorizing, threatening of using armed force against citizens, authoritarian propaganda.

    21. Impressive-Weird-908 on

      I mean what could they do? They were called to stop a non existent insurrection.

    22. Ruminant on

      Weren’t some of them already deployed on other missions like wildfire prevention?

      So Trump basically ordered them to *stop* fighting wildfires and go play video games instead.

      I too have a 2008 Yaris with a clapped out radio!

      I just listen to podcasts on my phone…

      The snake oil administration at its finest. I don’t blame them for playing video games when they’ve got absolutely nothing to do.

      For an administration that ran on ending fraud, waste and abuse, they do like to seemingly add to it daily.

    25. Own-Negotiation-2480 on

      Half the modern world just looked up from their respective video games.

    26. emeraldamomo on

      Maybe next time they can do some volunteer work at a homeless shelter or helping old ladies cross the street.

    28. kbean826 on

      No joke, this is exactly what I want my tax dollars going to. Stop kidnapping people, start playing video games.

    29. Rationalinsanity1990 on

      That’s what soldiers with nothing to do, do.

      They were deployed with no clear orders beyond guarding a few buildings that were never in danger.
