Will South Dakota be on the hook $$$$ if someone sues because their kid gets injured "on the border"? Or dies? Who pays for their medical care?

Who gives orders to these kids? The junk-yard jack ass? Romney's niece? Trump? Mitch McConnell?

What happens when the SD national guard blows up a bus full of people trying to cross?

At one point, it was illegal for people to leave things like water out in the desert so people would not die. The SD national guard gonna kill American citizens leaving drinking water behind?

Noem is nuts and so are the people who voted for her.

The initial deployment to the border will last for between 30 and 60 days. South Dakota Adjutant General Jeff Marlette and the South Dakota Department of the Military are working with their counterparts in Texas to finalize the details of this mission. The deployment will be paid for by a private donation.

What's to stop some other wingnut from funding a national guard mission to send the Iowa national guard to "protect" voting stations in swing states?

Some rich kook from funding a national guard mission to send the South Dakota national guard to where ever, to do who knows what shady business?
