    Trader is a troll account. He writes too well to be a trumper.

    Stros is clearly a real person.

    Perhaps it was the placement of the article in this thread about expanded use of Federal forces, and the executive branch trying to seize more power. I believe the article talking about using those troops in Blue States is more about that expanded power by the executive branch than you admit.

    I just thought Trump's comments were super magnanimous and much more gracious than his normally are

    where does this fit on the Fascism-O-Meter?

    Bowser welcomes federal law enforcement presence indefinitely
    Bowser issued an executive order Tuesday requiring local coordination with federal law enforcement “to the maximum extent allowable by law within the District.” The order gives no expiration date.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/09/02/bowser-dc-federal-law-enforcement-trump-takeover/

    excerpt:

    D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) on Tuesday welcomed federal law enforcement officials to stay in D.C. indefinitely, a powerful indication of her willingness to cooperate with President Donald Trump’s effort to take over public safety in the capital city.

    Bowser issued an executive order Tuesday that requires local coordination with federal law enforcement “to the maximum extent allowable by law within the District.” The order gives no expiration date.

    By law, Trump’s federalization of the D.C. police force lasts 30 days and is set to expire next week. Bowser’s announcement may quell any showdown over what happens after that deadline passes by authorizing continued cooperation between the city and federal authorities.

    In a statement on social media, Bowser said that her order would “provide the pathway forward beyond the Presidential emergency.” She has previously said that because of the federal government’s power over the District, she can get more done by working with him on “their shared priorities.”

    “We don’t have a crime problem in Washington anymore,” Trump told reporters Tuesday. “And the mayor has been very helpful.”

    @Nook The smart Republicans know the precedent this is setting for a future democratic administration. MAGA have now greenlit sending national guard from different states into other cities for no reason + government taking equity shares in corporations for "national security."

    Never trust a word out of his lying mouth!

    Trump claims Chicago is ‘world’s most dangerous city’. The four most violent ones are all in red states | US crime | The Guardian

    On Tuesday, Trump called Chicago “the most dangerous city in the world”, and pledged to send military troops there, as well as to Baltimore. “I have an obligation. This isn’t a political thing,” he said at a press conference.

    Let me raise the BS flag on that comment. Trump is a pathological liar. Always has been, and always will be! The President of the United States has zero integrity. He can't be trusted to tell the truth.

    As Donald Trump threatens to deploy national guard units to Chicago and Baltimore, ostensibly to quell violence, a pattern has emerged as he describes which cities he talks about.

    Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Baltimore.

    But not Jackson, Birmingham, St Louis or Memphis.

    The Windy City ranked 37th in homicide rate in 2024 for cities larger than 50,000 residents in the United States. For cities with more than 100,000 residents, it placed 14th. This year, it is likely to slide farther down the list, even as violence falls to 60-year lows.

    trump turned Pennsylvania red too so Philly is in a red state.

    Although I do agree with the outraged democrats in DC that car jacking in neighborhoods they never go near should not be stopped. Their private security keeps them safe so who GAF.

    The DC guard isnt going into high crime areas. They're picking up trash at the Lincoln memorial. Another braindead comment by you. No surprise considering your IQ

    Lower crime, more commerce, uplifted real estate values, reduced strain on our jails and prisons, more people able to enjoy the outdoors, less senseless violence and killings -- all benefits of cleaning up inner city crime. The damage done to these once beautiful city centers by poor Democratic leadership has been immense -- which makes Trump's opportunity to improve lives by using the National Guard so massive. Often times this is the best physical/geographic real estate in the city -- ruined by crime. It can be fixed. The only reason the Democrats oppose it is because it demonstrates their incompetence over time.


    GOOD DAY

    "Uplifted real estate" lol business is down 30% y/y which means rent prices will go down hence so will real estate. Again quit posting your braindead talking points and give up the act. You've been doing it for too long.

    Whats your alt? Curious

    This type of crime and intimidation has been going on for far too long. People are afraid to speak about it... but everyone knows it's out there. Thank you President Trump for standing up for law and order and putting a stop to these hate crimes.
