So we've devolved from government by consent of the people to government for hire by billionaires.

Would you prefer he hire private mercenaries instead?  Maybe some militia types with shaky trigger fingers?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I wonder if it was to show the hypocrisy of Dem governors sending NG units to guard the Palace after Jan 6.

But .  .  .  but  .  .  .  but that's different.

Just another step towards our Constitutional Federal Republic devolving into a feudal amalgam of fiefdoms, warlords, and mercenary armies.

The National Guard were intended to be citizen soldiers in the tradition of Revolutionary War Minutemen, not mercenary armies for hire to poltical donors.




I see your point. But just for the sake of argument let's say this man is not a political donor but is a patriot that is concerned about illegal immigration and the affects on the entire country. I don't know if Noem was planning to send troops (as other states have) prior to his donation or not. Do you?

Complete agreement.

I'm for financing and building the wall by any means possible.
I don't care HOW it's done, so long as it's done.

The same goes for protecting the border as it is now.
If it takes "soldier-mercenaries" to do it, again, I don't care HOW they're financed.
Just so long as they're there.
