    It's such an ugly look, man. Dispatching federal govt into our cities. We look like a 3rd world country. Nobody wants to see that **** (and they don't want to be doing it).

    The chatter has been out there, Trump wants to take over DC and (conspiracy theory) make some sort of unregulated corporate city on behalf of Peter Thiel (who is bribing him).

    u might as well go ahead and do it anyway

    and what do u mean “lead an effort to redraw the maps”…nah, this should read “we will absolutely redraw the maps”

    and other Democrat run states should be doing the same, not just CA

    Trump proved with his shutting down of the border that lawlessness is a choice. Dems have virtually total control of all the large crime-ridden cities in the country.

    DC is unique in that there is a legal mechanism for federal jurisdiction, an opportunity for Rs to show how they would use power.

    If Trump achieves in DC what he's done at the southern border, it will be politically dangerous for Dems, in the same way South Korea or West Berlin show a clear contrast.

    What a dumbass response like usual spinning propaganda. The states with the highest crime are mostly all republican. LA/AR/TN/AL/SC/MT all have higher crime rates and all have republican governors.

    All MAGA know how to do is spin propaganda in favor of worshipping their cult leader.

    Maybe the National Guard can search for the Epstein Files while they're there.

    The takeaway from this chart shouldn't be that Washington DC is a lawless hellhole. It should be that many American cities have higher murder rates than foreign cities most Americans assume are crime ridden.

    The following cities would have came before Bogota's 15.1 murders per 100k on that chart according to this: https://wirepoints.org/2024-homicid...epoints-survey-of-americas-75-largest-cities/

    St Louis, Memphis, Baltimore, New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington DC, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago, Oakland, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Stockton, Albuquerque, Nashville.

    The entire state of Mississippi and Louisiana would've gone ahead of Bogota by murder rate.

    Alabama, New Mexico, Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina, Maryland, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, and Alaska would be ahead of Mexico City.

    You keep asking a dumb ass question that isn't true is why nobody is answering.

    If you want to look at crooked govt look no further than the Obama and Biden POTUS. Spying and undermining a duly elected POTUS. Weaponizing the DIJ, FBI lying to FISA courts etc ...

    SMH, your correct when you said MAGA doesn't like like this kind of government and neither should you.

    Biden weaponized the doj so badly it filed criminal charges against the democratic mayor of the largest city in the country, filed criminal charges against a sitting democratic senator and arrested a sitting democrat in the house of representatives.

    Its just hilarious how utterly clueless these individuals are about literally everything

    I read this quote as ... "We will stop collecting DC crime stats starting today. Victory!"

    You should hope the grammar police does not come knocking at your door based on your posts.

    I love how Trump cancelled consent decrees saying the federal government shouldn't micromanage local local policing - and then suggests he will directly take over local law enforcement.

    That's the funny thing about this - ultimately most of the crime in DC is nuisance crime. Broken car windows etc.

    If there's fbi swat teams out there guarding street parking who is this supposed to hurt or scare?

    As one of Clutchfans' resident posters on the ground in the DMV let me tell you that I was terrified when I took my daughter to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. It was even worse when we got dinner in Adams Morgan after visiting some friends at a playground. Don't even get me started on the war zone I had to traverse in Navy Yard to get to the Austin FC game at Audi Field last month.

    Thank you, sir, for securing this city. Finally, Big Balls can buy drugs in peace at 3 AM.

    No I said democracy. Not the Biden or Obama or Clinton admin. Small “d” Democracy.

    Guess what if you do not like Biden or Obama or Johnson etc. you are allowed to vote them out. That is democracy.

    If you do not like a fascist Trump admin that is allowed to take over local law enforcement and deploy the military into American cities then we are basically in a fascist dictatorship where elections are surely going to be next in line to fall so you no longer retain that ability to make the change in govt.

    And just stop gaslighting me. Have an ounce of respect for people. We all know this is fascism. You saying it is not doesn’t make it not fascism and there is no whataboutism that justifies your worldview that the US should be a Trump dictatorship.

    So I’ll ask this again to you respectfully. Why is a Trump dictatorship better for America than retaining a democracy??

    Again not asking why Trump is better than Obama or Biden. I’m asking why democracy in general is bad enough to where crowning Trump a dictatorship is better than retaining our ability to be a democracy moving forward where we can elect anyone else that doesn’t have dictatorial aspirations??? Why will my life be better?

    And what evidence do you have from other countries that switched to a corrupt autocratic system where life got better for the working class?

    You all will be shocked to hear that Trump made no mention of sending the military to Houston Texas. Looks like only liberal cities like Chicago and San Fran will get to enjoy the pleasure of being raided by the marines and ice.

    This is so popular and necessary that you have to wonder the political ramifications when libs are the thankful ones who get saved by the messiah when Texas cities who normally vote MAGA get denied the grace and liberation from all the crime and poverty.

    So please… orange messiah… please save us here in Texas as well. Your salvation will redeem us all.
