The Republican Party cementing themselves as the party of law & order is where Dem politics goes to die.

We have a DEI hire not knowing a basic phrase of her position, multiple Dems, including the Congressional Black Caucus making this into a race issue, other dams saying that more police isn't the answer and people being killed 2 blocks from Dems protesting Trump's move and, meanwhile, The border is a non-issue and he's taking clear steps to get control of the criminal shit show in DC.

“Why is this DEI hire making it about race?”

Do you think before you post?

Oh fuck off. You are bringing up race, you're just trying to do it with a dog whistle.

If by dog whistle you mean I know there is a 0.01% chance that a DEI boss is going to be straight, white and male, then yes, I guess you have your so-called dog whistle.

You know very well what her words meant,

I absolutely don't. She said "what do you mean" and then stopped. Her pause was so awkward that somebody else had to step in to end the awkwardness.

and the only reason you are claiming she was ignorant is her race.

You really can't help yourself, can you?

Is pretending that she's qualified "doing something for someone else?"

Everyone wants to see crime go down in their neighborhoods and cities. Its human nature to want to feel safe. Even dims in poor neighborhoods will appreciate his efforts if they perceive their city is safer. Tackling crime isn't overly complex. Dims just can't seem to hold anyone accountable and always have to find some excuse for accountability. We didn't need congress to act to secure the border. Trump just put the right (in his eyes) people in place, gave them the resources needed and said go do it. That approach isn't applicable to more complex problems, but in something as singular as securing the border it works. Tackling violent crime isn't as simple, but it does have some similarities. Zero tolerance, accountability, and being resolute in purpose are the beginning points. Putting more police in trouble areas and making them visible. Contrast that with the left's approach of defund the police and its easy to see why many cities controlled by the left struggle with crime. Not going to stop crime by winning hearts and minds. How much more evidence is needed to see that the dims who control dc are clueless as to how to deal with the issue. 50 years of failure apparently isn't enough.

It's hilarious reading the defenses offered by Trumpers here that DC needs to basically lose home rule because of the persistent right-wing stereotype that all large cities are crime-ridden hellholes. And it's totally absurd to argue that steadily falling crime statistics shouldn't count because the crime rate is, in their opinion, still too high. If that was true then why didn't Dear Leader do this in his first term when violent crime was higher in DC? Trumpers can say whatever the hell they want, but when crime in DC is at a thirty-year low and has been steadily decreasing for the past two years then the logical conclusion is that the problem seems to be taking care of itself, not that we need to take over the District and send in the troops to try and deal with a situation that has been getting better by the year.

Totally clueless and illogical. Wonder if the residents of dc feel their city is safe? What's the common denominator of the top 10 most violent cities in the country? Hint: they think like you

That's a lot of words for a yes or no question.

I'm happy for you tho. Or sorry that happened.

Here are 10 cities frequently cited as having high violent crime rates (as of August 13, 2025):

REPUBLICAN STATE = Republican governor and Republican state legislative body
  1. (REPUBLICAN STATE) Memphis, TN: Has consistently appeared at the top of these lists with high violent crime and property crime rates.
  2. Detroit, MI: Faces significant challenges with violent crime, including high rates of aggravated assault and robbery.
  3. Baltimore, MD: Ranks high in terms of violent crime, particularly homicides and robberies.
  4. (REPUBLICAN STATE) Cleveland, OH: Has a high rate of violent crime including assault and robbery.
  5. (REPUBLICAN STATE) St. Louis, MO: Frequently mentioned for its high homicide rate, especially when adjusted for population.
  6. (REPUBLICAN STATE) New Orleans, LA: Faces challenges with violent crime, including carjacking and other violent offenses.
  7. (REPUBLICAN STATE) Kansas City, MO: Experiences high violent crime rates, including murder and gun violence.
  8. (REPUBLICAN STATE) Little Rock, AR: Has a high rate of violent crime, including aggravated assault and shootings.
  9. Oakland, CA: While not always at the top, it appears in rankings and shows concerns regarding violent and property crimes
  10. (REPUBLICAN state senate) Milwaukee, WI: Faces challenges with high homicide rates.
I see a trend here. Shouldn't state governors and state legislators have more responsibility to ensure the well being of their cities?

You and hardly anyone else who can read have your heads stuck up your asses and are either to blind (at best) or willfully ignorant to admit the problem in dc. You don't like it that trump is going to fix a problem in dc that dim mayors all over the country have and then get the credit for it. So your automatic reflex is to pretend the problem is nonexistent. Go see a shrink.

Hmm, sure it was. Your hypothesis is that cities have violent crime because of Democratic mayors, but don't you think more power, namely in the form of cash to get things done, resides with the state government? Do they get a pass?
 
I was actually nearby one violent incident while I lived there. I remember the cop cars screaming down the street.

'Pizzagate' Gunman Pleads Guilty to Comet Ping Pong Shooting

He came to the pizzeria with a gun because of a false conspiracy theory
time.com time.com

In December, Welch showed up to Comet Ping Pong on a Sunday afternoon armed with a AR-15 assault rifle and revolver and fired multiple times following a panicked evacuation by workers and customers. His shots struck a locked closet door, which had computer equipment inside.

The conspiracy alleged that the ring operated in the basement of the pizza restaurant, where Clinton’s presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta, sometimes ate.

January 6 was wild too, but I wasn't in Capitol Hill so I don't think it counts as a close call.
