Welp, next week I imagine Trump will be talking repeatedly about the massive crime spike in Montpelier and the need to tamp it down through the use of federal agencies.

Thank you for supplying....the rest of the story. MSM only seems to report the video of mean ole ICE detaining the "Moped Man" without providing his legal status and background.

Busy, out of town, over the weekend. Plus, nothing really additional to comment. The National Guard is present at the tourist areas + Union Station thereby freeing up the MPD to fight crime in the tougher areas. Things are going great with new troops on the way. ICE is allowed to do its job by detaining Venezuelan gang members with deportation orders, i.e. Moped Man.

You're more likely a gang member than some random guy on a moped. That you buy the noxious bullshit put out daily by this administration who lies more freely than they breathe is sad for you.

Same with crime statistics. In two weeks DC is going to be completely crime free, b/c Trump will say it is. And Maga will believe it. DC will be transformed overnight from a crime infested shithole into a shining city on the hill, simply b/c Trump says so...
“Trump says so….” What better assurance can be given?

Mississippi and Louisiana Will Send National Guard Troops to D.C.
Ohio, West Virginia and South Carolina have also deployed the Guard to Washington to support President Trump’s crackdown on the city.
Mississippi and Louisiana Will Send National Guard Troops to D.C.
Ohio, West Virginia and South Carolina have also deployed the Guard to Washington to support President Trump’s crackdown on the city.
“… Gov. Tate Reeves of Mississippi, a Republican, echoed Mr. Trump’s exaggerated portrayal of Washington as lawless, saying in a statement that he would send 200 troops because “Americans deserve a safe capital city that we can all be proud of.”
… The Louisiana National Guard said in a statement that “as directed by the president of the United States,” it was sending 135 members to Washington to “protect federal buildings, national monuments and other federal properties.”…”

For all of those Trumpers who keep saying that DC is such a crime-ridden hellhole that it simply had to be occupied by red-state troops.

The Trump Admin will also claim credit if dining bounces back if/when they leave — see, people were afraid to go out until we did our operation!
DAMN. Let's not ignore the Trump Slump in Vegas either --
Nevada’s Trump Slump Bleeds Beyond the Strip
With tourism sagging, Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo aims to elevate manufacturing, logistics, and tech. But Trump’s policies are hurting those industries, too.

Trump is SO bad for business.

“… Nothing about these deployments suggests that they will durably solve any of the real problems. The Guard isn’t trained for routine police work. The head of the Drug Enforcement Administration whom Trump tried to install atop the Metropolitan Police Department has no experience in municipal policing. The Washington Post’s mapping shows that federal officers are mostly not in the district’s highest-crime neighborhoods. Immigration arrestsare, however, up sharply.
… Legally, Trump has control over the D.C. National Guard, and he also has the power to temporarily take over D.C. policing in a declared emergency (even if he hasn’t actually identified any such circumstance). The addition of Guard troops from elsewhere is curious because, as the journalist Philip Bump reports, they come from states with cities more dangerous than D.C. Jackson, Mississippi, has the highest murder rate in the nation, compared with cities of the same size or larger.
But the troops also come from states with Republican governors, making them into a force whose leaders are presumably more politically loyal to the president. The Associated Press delicately noted, “It’s unclear why additional troops are needed.”
… What’s happening doesn’t look like a carefully regimented and organized attempt at standing up a military dictatorship. Trump seldom acts with that sort of discipline. Instead, it looks like an improvisational and opportunistic grab of power—Trump seeing what he can get away with and what he can normalize.
With no stated goal, and with an acquiescent Congress and Supreme Court, the country could end up with the U.S. military occupying its major cities before most Americans realize what’s happening.…”
