Trump also said during his Sunday PM press briefing that additional steps will be coming for WA.

What do you all think this means when the National Guard shows up?

I think it means they will hand out supplies and other bullshit tasks. The Washington NG is not equipped to do shit period, the equipment they are fielded here as well as the two BCTs on JBLM is pure shit, to the 25th power.

Everybody can honestly calm down about the Martial Law boogaloo blah blah.

Wouldn’t this mean Trump commands them and Inslee doesn’t?

My wife tells me everyday that she keeps seeing people on Facebook going over to Idaho to eat at restaurants and shop and whatnot. My guess is that could be coming to an end

Only if they have been activated under Title 10, and then under whatever capacity is in the order.

He said during the briefing the NG would be under the governors' authority.

I guess I could see activating the CBRNE and maybe medical guys but I see not point in the infantry battalion or many of the other CA units.

Maybe they activated a headquarters or a staff office or something.
My neighbor is one of those guard guys that gets called up for every single flood, every fire, every earthquake and hurricane. He's sitting at home barbecuing right now.
