This is America!

Following the insurrection event that took place last week. Security has been beefed up in and around Washington D.C. 

This morning pictures started circulating around social media of members of the U.S. National Guard sleeping on the floor of the U.S Capitol. 

Let me say this again for the idiots in the back of the class.

This isn't some third world country. This is supposed to be the United State of America. But because some people can't take the "L", we have to resort to members of the military sleeping on the floor of the Capitol to keep it safe. 

Good. Grief.
