I wonder if the troops will be putting up these signs around the District in order to herald the new law enforcement priorities...

So, do you see this as equal to DC?

From what I've read DC police are not overwhelmed as the article states this area is. DC also hasn't seen a two fold increase in the last two years, as the article states this area did.

As I've e said before a proper response, not a trump response.

Serious question - is anyone confident in elections moving forward?

Can someone smarter than me (likely everyone here) explain why there won’t be military deployment across the country, and why even if there was, elections would still proceed as normal.

No, not confident anyone.
 
Real time update on my MAGA family's opinions:

1. Biggest government overreach in the world: Conservative Premier of Nova Scotia declares that forests and wooded areas are a no-go zone with up to $25,000 fines because of extreme drought and fire threat, as wildfires are popping up everywhere this week.

2. Military being deployed to occupy Americans - nah that's cool.

Also, and I sincerely don’t know why, but every time I read his confession (“I did it, I threw a sandwich”) I giggle like Heidi Gardner in the SNL Beavis and Butthead skit.

You guys are on a roll. Quoting Rafael Sanchez-Cruz, george conway (lol), scary lawyerguy, and just about any other social media person who has learned to pull your strings. They have all of you worked up into a lather. And the national guard troops aren't even carrying guns. They are just assisting doing menial tasks so the cops can actually do the police work. But whatever, continue with the fascist, dictator hysteria. It worked so well the last time. Loved this comment:

"I resent that my taxes are paying for this shit. Every damn responsible citizen should revolt and refuse to pay taxes. Defund the (MILITARY) police!"

I don't care who you are, that's comedy gold right there.

In the sense that liberal policies and being soft on crime created both situations.

So, according to Bondi, the Deep State is made up in part of DOJ lawyers throwing Subway sandwiches at cops? And I also saw where they had arrested a delivery truck driver in DC. Yes, Trumpers are really getting to the bottom of the violent crime scene in DC! Lolz.

Well its not like they won't have use of both hands since they don't have to worry about holding a gun.

Nobody is worked into a lather, my friend. It’s just really fun being able to point out Republican hypocrisy- you of all people should know how deeply satisfying it is to point out hypocrisy- and those particular social media accounts- particularly Conway, a brilliant and staunch conservative- do a great job of articulating it.

Sincere question: will you keep this same energy about “well, shucks, the federal troops patrolling the streets of American cities don’t have any guns in their hands” when President Newsom sends them into Highland Park and Sandy Springs in January 2029?

Federal overreach is federal overreach is federal overreach.

His assertation, with no supporting evidence is absolutely NOT good enough for me. Nor should it be for you. Someone's going to say the statistics are wrong...prove it. Why wouldn't you want support of such a claim? Why don't you need it?
Click to expand...
But you are believing there is no need for trump to involve himself based on what? A failed politician's claim? Random media that has proven they can lie to you and you will believe it without question? Sorry, but a first hand account from a police source living it every day carries more weight.......unless what that eyewitness says something that contradicts your political agenda and then he is unreliable.

And you'll be glad to know that your tax money is (or was) also being used (misused?) by Republicans to do a dog-and-pony show "crime crackdown" in LA that wasted hundreds of millions to no good effect, and is being used for school vouchers with little oversight that is mostly helping upper middle-class parents pay the tuition for their kids to stay in a private school that they were already able to pay for. And these are the same people who claim that because of the budget deficit we can't pay for free school lunches and Medicaid for poor people anymore. And it all makes perfect sense to them, of course.

The “Red” vs. “Blue” Crime Debate and the Limits of Empirical Social Science

For the past two years, several think tanks on opposite sides of the political divide have waged war over whether “red” or “blue” America has a worse crime problem. Commentators on the left have pointed out that red states have higher homicide rates than blue states, while those on the right...
