A nation's capital SHOULD be a ruthless example of the efficiency and cleanliness of raw authoritarian power.

Yep--Christians should round up the homeless, declare them criminals and force them from the city walls.

"Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

"They also will answer, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

"He will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

--Matthew 25:41-46

DC crime is currently at a 30 year low. Just another distraction from the Epstein fiasco at the expense of an entire city.

If it walks like a dictator, if it talks like a dictator, it's probably a dictator.

Donald Trump sincerely believes that he is some sort of god.

It's easier to seem godlike when you pick on the weak.

So his first miracle is telling the homeless to leave.

And if they don't I suppose he'll find something bad to do with them, anotehr miracle.

Donald Trump behaves like any degenerate Roman emperor did. He embraces a life of vice and horror towards others.

His delusions of godhood only get worse. So his behavior will get worse.

You are pathetic. That was a very short period of hours and the situation was remedied immediately. Unlike your orang blob of hate that never apologizes or recognizes or takes any blame, Biden was human.

You are so like your orange hero in that regard.

#14 | Posted by YAV at 2025-08-11 09:17 AM

Crime is way, way, way down and this action is ridiculous and horrific in the way it's been cast. Trump is a huge pile of hate-filled shit.

#15 | Posted by YAV at 2025-08-11 09:18 AM

YAV are you saying Democrats have to engage in fascist behavior to StOp ThE FaScIsTs?

#16 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2025-08-11 09:27 AM

Also you're correct, Biden is a human. A cognizant human? Not so much ... If you recall, the Democrats had to engage in a fascist coup and install a candidate due to the lack of cognizant capacity ...

#17 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2025-08-11 09:29 AM

You are confused on what Fascism is - which your party is counting on. Resorting to slamming Biden when you voted for what you did is hypocrisy at its finest.

#18 | Posted by YAV at 2025-08-11 09:32 AM

LOL you're delusional.

Now do January 6th.

That's not the flex you think it is.

Well, the groundwork was laid using immigrants as the scapegoat.

The escalation is beginning using the homeless and "criminals" as scapegoats.

Citizens will have zero effective rights by year's end at this pace.

#21 | Posted by jpw at 2025-08-11 09:34 AM

There is no need for what tRump is doing except to instill fear, rally hate, demonize the "other" and to consolidate more power. That is Fascism.

Gotta admit I wish he had thought about bringing in tBringing the National GuaNational Guard now to do the job that the rd in to hahNational Guard now when his own cult is not threatening to invade the Capital again just makes him look like the clueless senile old man he is!

#24 | Posted by danni at 2025-08-11 09:36 AM

The important thing to remember is that Sh*tler raped children with his buddy Epstein.

#25 | Posted by Nixon at 2025-08-11 09:39 AM

Shouldn't trump wait for the all powerful Nancy Pelosi to call in the national guard?

#26 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-08-11 09:42 AM

#25 - Yep. That's not going away and we can't let it. He and those that participated, regardless of who they are, need to be punished and shamed.

Trump is seizing all levers of power he can. He's going to do all he can to make this go away. He's building a secure enclave around him and the White House.

Just watch.

#27 | Posted by YAV at 2025-08-11 09:43 AM

Trump will find a way to weasel out of any accountability for his crimes with Epstein.

He will eventually release a truncated version of the Epstein files that "exonerates" him.

His cult will believe it, (because they want to) then they will use the fraudulent report to prosecute democrats and RINOs only.

Soooo...highlighting the deployment of the national guard after anti-American s*&^bags rioted for Trump on January 6 is...what? Some sort of justification for Trump now deploying them to police an American city without a need to do so?

You're a f*&^ing idiot. A viciously stupid, disingenuous pile of idiotic s*&^.

#29 | Posted by jpw at 2025-08-11 09:46 AM

I fully expect that Trump will post that Obama is in the Epstein files. You know, the hoax ones he and Biden wrote.

Reality is whatever dear leader says it is, like 1984.

DC government is faking crime data, systematically under-reporting violence
thehill.com

Not to worry under reporting is happening all across the country.

Shoplifting numbers for all of San Francisco doubled in September after one Target location changed the method it uses to report the crime
www.businessinsider.com

Oakland PD's inaccurate crime reporting leads to questions about what's going on in city
abc7news.com

That's really what authoritarians look like, under reporting crime, threatening those that do. Its wild to me because the whole argument for a sanctuary city was to enable undocumented immigrants to report crimes. Now Blue Cities threaten you if you report a crime.

Thank Joe Biden for enabling this really working out isn't ! All the shit you wanted just enabled Trump to do this.

#36 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2025-08-11 09:54 AM

I think y'all are mistaken in thinking this is driven by a desire to distract from the Epstein fiasco.

I think this would have went off this way regardless of the Epstein file sideshow.

DC has to be federalized, hardened and turned into a fortress to protect Trump and his minions when they begin abusing the rank-and-file Americans. Because they know his base will take it on the chin the hardest.

I predict in short order they'll start installing security fencing and traffic barriers to begin closing off access to monuments, The Smithsonian ect while controlling/restricting traffic flow.

LA was initiate and normalize. DC is expand and normalize stripping of citizen's rights. I think y'all can guess what phase III will be.

That was a pithy and quite well done rejoinder.

DC government is faking crime data, systematically under-reporting violence
Do you read and understand your own posts and links? Seriously? Let me help:

BY MICHAEL MURPHY, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 06/25/25 1:30 PM ET Who is going to run for office and has to redefine "violent crime" as the "threat of violent crime."

The DOJ reports the same stats using the same classification and the rates have continued to drop even with Trump in office.

You are pathetic calling me a liar for stating what is widely reported and accepted as valid.

#39 | Posted by YAV at 2025-08-11 09:59 AM

What a surprise that Republicans have no opinion either way on this turn of events...

I expect all first amendment auditors to converge on DC. Stand up to authoritarianism, film it and remind America of the rights that we are guaranteed.

#42 | Posted by johnny_hotsauce at 2025-08-11 10:11 AM

Oh, and couple this with the directive to the military to begin acting against cartels? It's a pincer movement to illegally insert active duty military into domestic law enforcement.

#43 | Posted by jpw at 2025-08-11 10:16 AM

Trump wants people not to think about the Epstein files.

He's already reached the point that every new stunt he pulls makes people think about them twice as much.

#44 | Posted by Zed at 2025-08-11 10:43 AM

Overall violent crime:
US: down 4.5%
DC: down26%

Homicide:
US: down 14.9%
DC: down 12%

Robbery:
US: down 8.9%
DC: down 28%

#45 | Posted by YAV at 2025-08-11 10:44 AM

Will he supplement the National Guard with active duty Marines who will all hang around for a month or two with nothing to do like they did in LA? With hi s current cuts to Medicaid and Food assistance as food prices rise and become unaffordable for many; perhaps he is preparing for food riots? Or just very large protests by the millions of people who have bwcome ubemployed since his term began!

#46 | Posted by danni at 2025-08-11 10:49 AM

Trump.. He needs to go join Epstein.

That's where He belongs. With his Bestest Buddy.. Jeffery.
