When Trump was asked if he was going to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom in West Virginia, all he did was brag about the margin he won West Virginia by in the election. What a POS!

He did!

A federal judge in California has ruled that Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles in 2025 violated the Posse Comitatus Act. The ruling found that the forces were used for prohibited civilian law enforcement activities.

Same applies to Washington D.C.
