Trump Admin takes over D.C. Policing

[ZenMode]

No chance that's true. None.

Agree. No way Trump has "many, many" friends.

However, I have heard similar feedback from other sources. Some Dems are glad.

The natural instinct of many Dems is to oppose most anything Trump does, call it racist, etc. DC is a shitshow of crime and instilling some safety, via a show of force, isn't seen as bad by everyone on the left.

[Reporter: do you have a message for Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and the media who are saying there’s no crime here?]

“It’s another reason why the Democrats lost the election in a landslide, uh [shrug] they lie, they just lie. Look the crime is very bad. I think they’d be much better off saying we wanna help President Trump with the crime because it’s an epidemic … it’s the worst it’s ever been and we wanna help President Trump with the crime as opposed to he’s a dictator he’s a dictat people are so happy to see our military going into DC and getting these thugs out uh as you know we arrested a lot of people yesterday we’re arresting a lot of people today. We’re getting people that have uhhhh arrest records that you wouldn’t believe. 28 arrests 15 arrests brutal brutal people and we’re going to have to do something about this cashless bail [started in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles]

If we didn’t go to Los Angeles to help this incompetent governor and a mayor that doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing if we didn’t go to Los Angeles you wouldn’t have a big part of it burned down the other part of it would of burned down too you wouldn’t have not had uh I don’t think you would have been able to hold to have the Olympics. We have the Olympics. I have a lot at stake with that because I’m the one that got the Olympics I got it in my first term. And I didn’t I was sad because I got it for what would be my third term OK which turned out to be second term. And uh the Olympics it’s a great honor but I felt badly cause I said I won’t be president when the Olympics came. Well through circumstance I am president I wanna make sure the Olympics is great the World Cup is great and that 250 maybe the most important of all is the 250 year celebration is great.

So what’s happening is we will work very hard. You would not have had I don’t believe that if I didn’t send in the troops I don’t think you would’ve had Los Angeles in condition to have the Olympics, I think you woulda had to tell’em I’m sorry you’re going to have to go someplace else …”

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough admitted on Wednesday that many Democrats are secretly cheering on President Donald Trump’s federalization of D.C.’s police force in order to crack down on crime.

"So many people have been calling me over the past couple days, going, ‘You know, like, Washington should have gotten involved years ago. This place is dangerous, it’s a mess, it’s a wreck and whatever,’ and then they’ll go on Twitter and go, ‘This is the worst outrage out of all time,’" Scarborough said on "Morning Joe."

"Which I understand, it’s like, people need to express their concerns about Donald Trump going too far," he added. "We saw what happened going back to 2020 with the National Guard, certainly can’t have any repeat of that. Don’t want the federalization of the entire city. But man, I don’t care what the crime statistics say. Crime has been a problem in this city for 32 years."

Been there many, many times going back to high school. Son currently lives there.

What prompts you to say something like that? Conservatives don't travel?

That's actually really helpful. If you feel unsafe in 90% of DC, that's on you. And if you're in the 10% where you should feel unsafe, I have questions. So what's this performative politics really all about?

“… According to a Justice Department source, Dunn [works in the] Office of International Affairs within the department's Criminal Division. Dunn's LinkedIn page says that he worked as a trial attorney at the department.…”



“… This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ.

You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement“

——

Deep State is pretty fucking lame if this guy throwing sub sandwiches is the best it can do.

This is so fucking pathetic, calla. Could you please find some pride at some point?

Doubling down on stupid? Constant improvement is damned sure on the way to success. How can that kind of progress not be meaningful?

I don't know, maybe ask the head of the dc police union. Or the guy suspended for manipulating serious crime stats.

..."The D.C. police union chief, Gregg Pemberton, cast doubt on the statistics showing a massive drop in crime over a two-year period.

"There's potentially a drop from where we were in 2023. I think that there's a possibility that crime has come down. But the department is reporting that in 2024, crime went down 35% – violent crime – and another 25% through August of this year. That is preposterous to suggest that cumulatively we've seen 60-plus percent drops in violent crime from where we were in ’23, because we're out on the street. We know the calls we're responding to," he told NBC News.

MPD’s 3rd District commander was suspended after MPD said he was changing crime statistics to minimize serious crimes.

Q: Should Biden have nuked Rural America? Y or N?

That's every bit as legitimate a question as whether Trump should be deploying military personnel to engage in domestic law enforcement in the objectively safe, tourist/government centers in DC.

If you can't see that, you've been so blinded by your hatred for urban America that you can't see your own bigotry.

Since those are essentially countercharges, we have a court case that can decide that small detail in one district over the last 50 years. Not exactly overwhelming evidence there.

The feds patrolling the streets of Georgetown want everyone to be on the lookout for these gang bangers.

This is so fucking pathetic, calla. Could you please find some pride at some point?

So I guess this qualifies as a true FAFO moment. I wouldn't go so far as to charge him with a felony. Fired yes, misdemeanor yes. Sounds like he is going to need a lawyer. Any zzl lawyers going to offer to help him? lawtig?

That's what you took from the police union chief's comments? Your entire argument seems based on statistics. Here is the head of the police union saying the stats aren't right and misleading and that the problem is greater than the stats suggest. That not good enough for you?

Yeah fired and maybe a misdemeanor charge sounds about right. That extra vim and vinegar he got with his sub cost him quite a lot. Hope he enjoyed it.

Yeah, speaking of FAFO -- I'll commit the BLTea Party guy to 10 years in Leavenworth if you admit the man you voted to lead the free world was a fucking pussy for pardoning the 1,600 (THAT'S ONE THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED CRIMINALS, IN CASE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ARITHMETIC NUMERALS) people who assaulted the Capitol and law enforcement on January 6.

Deal?

Pussy.

If it was the opposite situation, him throwing at a dem politician, the grift would be on. He’d be all over fox news and have a gofundme for his legal fees all set up and exceeding the goal right now
