It was like an OG special.

I feel like for this administration, before we got like Kristi Noem on top of buildings like in Chicago and Portland, looking down at the masses of Big Bird and, you know, Pikachu or whatever.

But...

They were amped about this, and it feels so long ago.

That's the thing.

They have totally warped my perception of time.

This was two and a half months ago or whatever, but the beginning of the National Guard going into cities is actually a very seminal moment, and D.C.

being the smartest place to start since Trump is actually in charge of it, and Muriel Bowser...

had a different take than the other Blue City mayors about this.

But I think it's a good line in the sand that we have this, and now he can become a spokesman.

In D.C.

or in all the cities that they have fanned out to.

Yeah.

L.A.

was like that because they ended up only at the one building.

Yeah.

It doesn't hit the way that they expect it to.

But I think that it's all kind of looping back to this idea of things being out in the open.

Like, it's so good for it to be on display this way.

And there's been so much activity on the part of the regular populace.
