Does no one understand that Texas has no authority to send their NG units anywhere? What a bunch of morons.

The Texas National Guard has officially touched down in Chicago to bravely consume all available deep dish pizzas, one slice at a time, while heroically pretending to solve problems.

And it only costs us $700 per day per guardsman.

I'm sure they don't want to be there. I can't fault the National Guard for following orders.

Or should I say lardy?

Hegseth will have a stroke when he sees this photo. His nightmare: The Fat Brigade hits the streets of Chicago.

You know there will be jokes galore if this image is picked up and goes viral on social media. It sucks for the men (we don't know their particular stance on their orders) but anything that gets under Hegseth's skin is a worthy sacrifice.
