Trump to take over D.C. Law Enforcement

Are you describing what happens on the bus? I lived in Dupont Circle for a year -- admittedly a long time ago -- and never once saw anything like this. I didn't take the bus, though, so I can't speak to what happens there.

Part of the problem might be taking the bus. Buses are . . . well, sketchy in every big city I've lived in.
Violent crime decreased in 2024. DC was in far worse shape in the 90s and early 2000s.

More Trump Federal overreach. And incompetenly so. I'm sure there's grift involved. And extortion.
 


“… they fought back against law enforcement last night and uh they’re not going to be fighting back long because I’ve instructed them and uh told them whatever happens, you know, they love to spit in the face of police as the police are standing up there in uniform they’re standing and they’re screaming at’em announce away from their face and then they start spitting in their face and I said you they’ll them you spit, we hit and they can hit real hard. It’s a disgusting thing I’ve watched that for years for 3 or 4 years now … and they’re told [weird voice] ‘don’t do anything under any cir [mumble and change to growling voice] and you can see they wanna get at it.

[Back to speech voice and speaking flanked by SECDeF and AG] And they’re standing there and the people are spitting in their face and they’re not allowed to do anything but now they are allowed to do whatever they want hell they want .

[returns to reading] This dire public safety crisis stems directly from the abject failures of the city’s local leadership, the radical left city council adopted NO CASH BAIL…”

 
Phil and Pete Hegseth have been involved in discussions about long term deployments of U.S. troops inside the USA:


“… The document, obtained by The New Republic, details plans for how the Trump administration could use the military to assist with domestic law enforcement as part of its mass deportation agenda for “years” to come.

… Carrie Lee, senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund, told The New Republic the contents of the memo are “disturbing” and outline intent to use the “military within the United States at a level not seen since Japanese internment.”

… He [Phil Hegseth] is now alleged to have written a memo that outlines a July 21 meeting between senior DHS and Pentagon officials discussing how the departments could coordinate “in defense of the homeland.”

That includes convincing leading military officials, such as Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, of the “urgency” of the so-called “homeland defense mission.”

The memo also suggests this ramping up of military deployment is needed as foreign gangs and drug cartels that Trump has listed as terrorist organizations pose a similar threat to “Al Qaeda or ISIS cells and fighters operating freely inside America.”…”

The focus has been on using military for immigration and drug law enforcement but we should keep an eye on whatever plan emerges from Trump to “clean up” D.C. more generally …
