    He is the governor… He controls his own state’s National Guard. Send them your own self if you really need them.

      Yeah but then the state has to pay them.

      Maybe he’s trying to pull a 100 IQ move and get Trump to send them for manual labor and shit like that.

        Yeah, that’s obviously what he’s doing. So, clearly it isn’t worth it to him, why should it be worth it to us?
