lol Came here to say: “We’re looking for a few good [garbage]men! 🫡

Sadly, far more dignified and of service to the nation than a lot of things they've been tasked with lately.

Agreed. The military can provide opportunity not otherwise available to so many. TACO has forced so may soldiers out, because he does not understand the commitment they undertook and he does not think about the cost our government paid to train them.

Yeah, it really explains his multiple bankruptcies and many business failures.

They're already embarrassing for following Trump the P3dophiles orders.

Absolutely. But I think we're at the point where we need to start saying that they should be refusing orders (I don't mean the trash pickup is the final straw--just that it's extremely obvious they are being used illegally). They must know their orders will only get worse from here...

Skeet of the day!

Whichever Commander ordered this is getting fired tonight. Trump’s gonna blow a gasket when he sees this.

That body language though

📌

Who pays the tab for their time? The DC cleansing department?

How much are those janitors paid compared to what city staff would get to do it ?

Our tax dollars hard at work.

So the military and police are work programs!

Yup.

Had a teacher in HS who was a retired semi-high-ranking army officer, & if/when you got detention for being late 3x, he had you spend an hour counting the dimples on golf balls by dotting them with a sharpie. "You waste my time, I'll waste yours." I always liked him. I did NOT like counting dimples.

"Hello miss, we're the army, uhm, we couldn't help but overhear from out here that your son has a ps5, could we come inside to play for a bit?"

Don't forget painting the opposite side black and flipping colors at the whim of the CO, drill sergeant, etc.

Instead of jailing the homeless, some of them might be glad to work, especially at those wages.

Even more darkly hilarious, DC Public Works will give free pickers and other tools to community groups that want to organize a community cleanup: dpw.dc.gov/helpinghands

this actually rocks now. deploy the national guard to all highways

And this is Our Tax Payers' money being funneled to them, not our children who need food and health care.

Ironically, in military slang, this is known as “Police Call.”

They look thrilled.

I’m sure they are very happy having to be away from their families for this

That's pitiful pay for garbage men $1500 a month. Burn the uniform, our local guys are making that much a week.

Supporting and defending the Constitution against all beer cans, both foreign and domestic;

each one of these men and women were trained to kill and die for their country and this draft dodger has them picking up trash

They look thrilled. 😃

Um, no

Why are they not fighting all that crime on the streets?????

Good grief. Lizard Brain and his enablers should be the ones picking up the garbage. So they know how it feels. It SHOULD NOT BE OUR WONDERFUL SERVICE MEMBERS.

Wistfully gazing at the Ford F-150 bumper with the “MAGA” sticker right next to the “Support Your Troops” sticker.

At least they are doing something positive to the community. But it’s time to go.

So Orange is in a plastic bag? LOL

Damn contempt chain

How much money did we invest in each Guardsperson for them to be relegated to park trash pick up? Maybe we can have generals mucking out the bathrooms. This is our money being wasted by inefficiency.

Ah, finally we find out what “crime wave” Trump was rambling about - out of control littering!

Shitler's 21st Century slaves. Garbage men and mulch men. How do you feel guys, because you look like f**king fools. You could tell him to go to hell. It's in the Constitution.

And we’re fucking paying for this bullshit?

SSG: "Hey Smith, you got slated for a working party in the park." Smith: "Working party? Out here?! At this time, during this event, localized in an active threat zone for us, SSG?!" SSG: "Yeah, you pick up trash with a vest on, it'll be hot & early so bring your Camelbak." Smith: "Fuck dude..."

“Lethality”

At least that is useful.

That will be excellent for morale and combat readiness.

That is so insulting to our troops.

Dammit that's a really good one, I'm writing that down.

Just a matter of time before watering plants with Brawndo becomes mandated by Executive Order.

They are undoubtedly bored stiff.

Just another consequence of deporting all the groundskeepers.

Man, the attrition rate in the NG is going to be epic

Despite the fact these people are gone from their families & jobs, this costs the tax payers $1.1 MILLION PER DAY

Nothing new... the're used to that... just like weekend drill...

Fucking losers

I love that for them

Eh, I'd rather my tax dollars go towards this then bombing kids in the middle east at least.

Southeast Asia, sadly. Sorry for the genuine answer to a joke question lol

City is clearly so dangerous

Better use of their time than harassing people.

Where are their robot trash retrieval arms?

On a Colonel's salary maybe. The average guard soldier makes closer to $130/ day. Their benefits are nice though (military essentially has socialized medicine,) and since they are activated they also get a living stipend and their lodging covered.

Damn! For real? I wanna do pick up trash in DC for $513 a day!

Maybe. We can't get straight answers about how much this is costing. The NG and LE presence in Altadena was massive, yet virtually every property in the fire zone was looted. Great crime fighting force.

I was waiting for that comment!🤣🤣

I still think that they are trying to ease their boredom

Thank God they had on their guns and neck gators to protect themselves. Those Starbucks cups can be dangerous to pick up.

There’s so little to do that they’re picking up trash. What a joke

Shouldn't these guys be anti-criming?

Scam

I’m a bit more supportive of sending NG troops out to pick up litter.

REALLY expensive method for collecting garbage. Way to go, GOP sycophants in Congress. You're a bunch of spineless fools. The DC occupation is performative nonsense

Lol picking up garbage at Mar a Lago 2 classic

I mean, it would still be surreal and vicariously embarrassing if they had grabbers or spikes. But at the very least they would be appropriately equipped for this task

“What else can we order these folks to do that will show how much we despise them?”

Exactly. This is busywork. I remember my first summer job.... when they ran out of real work for me this is the kind of thing I was told to do. I can't imagine how embarrassing it is for trained soldiers to hear that they are on trash detail.

No wonder he wants to forbid mail-in ballots - our troops overseas would never vote for this again

Good one!

When I was in the army, this was known as "policing the area." I'm sure this isn't what Orange Julius Caesar had in mind when he sent the military in to police DC. He could have waited until the next Earth Day, and volunteers would have done this for free.

The American taxpayer.

We do. With our taxes.

I hope they are going to make trump pay for this mess!!! They should disown him, liquify all of his assets to recoup at least some money! Same goes for that felon guy!

No, national guard is mostly DOD $.

No federal. DOD.

Noble of you to put your lives on the line. We're proud of you guys.

😂😂

Not really very useful.

They will soon be deployed to mar-a-lago for the important duty of repainting, pressure washing, mowing, and making omelets.

Hegseth said morale was at an all time high

Well, then, maybe their bosses should have told Trump to pound sand.

Drain The Swamp has become Empty The Dumpster Already lol

#TrumpHadNoChildhoodNoRealParentsAndNoEthicalRootsOrValuesHEIs A Miserable man. He needs to hide somewhere and Never return

Meanwhile, at your full time job, your coworkers are picking up the slack and busting their butts for the president's non emergency, causing delays for clients/patients in some cases. And your family may be struggling with child care or other matters for it.

- in full uniform no less. They must be dying. The indignity of it all.

Lmaoo they must hate his ass

The latest assignment from the Department of War.

at least they're not shooting or beating anyone, so that's a plus

At a cost of 1.1 million per day. Not a great use of taxpayer’s money, in my humble opinion! But let’s cut out lunches for kids and medical coverage for the aged! America, why are you allowing this fuckwad to ruin your country. We the people; DO SOMETHING!!

Have the picked up Trump and co yet?

Maybe they could bag up some of those ICE thugs while they’re picking up trash and garbage
