National Guard troops began to deploy in Washington on Tuesday as part of President Trump's plan to use the federal government to crack down on crime in the city. Muriel Bowser, Washington's mayor, called Trump's actions an "authoritarian push." nyti.ms/41Eg7sA[image or embed]

If the dem city administrations would get a grip on the violence in their cities, Trump wouldn't need to do anything. Seems that dems care little for the safety of their cities citizens, and/or are just so incompetent that they haven't a clue as to how to crack down on crime and allows it to fester.

Sooooooo.... how long before you start blaming them for using civilians as human shields? You know... the go-to excuse the military deploys to explain its ineptness and winning hearts and minds through barbarism... especially after decades of embarrassing military losses and stalemates overseas.

You're happy as a clam at high tide to support white collar criminals... let's see you express the same enthusiasm about the Epstein files... you feckless hypocrite... I mean if republicl0wns aren't going to police their own party... you stupid @$$e$ don't know how to crack down on criminals in your own party...

and you're going to lecture anyone about how to run a city?!

Another republicl0wn preznit about to leave office in disgrace... 3 times in a row!!!!!!
