Why would the mayor of DC come out and point to a positive result from this federal surge if she didn't want this in the first place?
Or maybe she DID want this to happen..........

Because if she doesn't, Trump will order his GOP congress to take over DC completely?

US second quarter GDP growth jumps up to 3.3% to beat expectations.

#6 | Posted by homerj

And it decrease by .5% in Q1 when everyone rushed to import products to fill warehouses to hopefully out last the tariffs.

Imports crashed in Q2 as companies lived on what's in their warehouses so the GDP naturally saw an artificial bounce.

That's like saying "I saved $400 this week because I bought $800 worth of groceries last week and am therefore expecting to save $400 per week forever now!"

But the average is now 1.4% GDP growth for the year. That's NOT something to brag about.

What happens when these companies have to start importing again under the tariffs?

$BTW, that $350 billion is more than 1/3 the ENTIRE military budget.

Assuming the reported numbers are even correct - $1 million per day for 35 days is $35 million. Your number is WAY off. Astronomically so.
Typo on your part?

And what happens when they leave?

Everything magically stays the same?

If that's the case, we can fire the ENTIRE Metro DC PD when the National Guard leaves! Not like crime will go back up, right Jeff?

Or are you going to keep them there 365 days a year to help reduce crime?

Your assumption is WAY off. Astronomically so.

Stupidity on your part?

Yet, the recent deployment has resulted in seriously tangible results in actual crime reduction.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) saying Wednesday that "the difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings."

July: "We don't trust the crime stats data from the DC Metro PD!"
August: "We totally trust the crime stats data from the DC Metro PD!"

BTW, that $350 billion is more than 1/3 the ENTIRE military budget.

How many consecutive days did DC go without a homicide once the guard was deployed?

It's always fun watching Pedo Lover Jeff Bellringer get obliterated with easy to find facts.

Now we play the game!

Will he...
(a) Change the subject and pretend he never said that
(b) Claim without evidence the numbers are rigged
(c) Run away!

Fun Fact: Trump is spending $1 million per day for the National Guard to be on the streets of D.C. That's more than DOUBLE the cost of police patrol officers in D.C.

So I guess according to Jeff, we just have to TRIPLE+SOME the budget of every police department in the US! Anyone got an extra $350 billion lying around?

Democrats will win if they do something, stop going after Trump and out Trump Trump.

This from the guy whose head is up Trump's orange ass he can taste what Trump had for breakfast.

So bringing in the National Guard instead of trained law enforcement was wrong?
So putting "law enforcement" help in areas with virtually no crime is wrong?
So pardoning thousands of violent criminals who tried to kill cops, the VP and members of Congress is wrong?

This idiot defends this crap.

Newsom is showing how you actually deal with an issue...even if California's worst city is still safer than nearly ever red state.

But OneIronPedoLover can't criticize Cheeto Jesus the Pedophile.

Maybe Newsom should pull a Trump and hang giant pictures of himself everywhere too!

How many extra arrests has that $1M per day bought us? How many crimes have been stopped? I'm guessing 0 since the Guard isn't actually doing anything except some trash pickup and gardening.

They are trumping up the charges against everyone too using federal law.

Spit on a cop? Face a misdemeanor generally and a week or two in jail AT MOST.

But because they are federal officers working at Trump's direction, spitting on a National Guard or Homeland Agent is now being charged by the DOJ as a violent felony with up to 8 years in jail.

And they are charging EVERYTHING to the max to pretend it's violent crime.

This is of course AFTER Trump pardoned all the J6 protestors who literally tried to kill cops, actually led to several officers dying, and were trying to kill the VP and members of Congress.

The bible includes the hits ...
Adam and Steve - the life, times and struggle in San Francisco.
The Birth of Jess - Crossing the border has never been so fun
Destruction - how do destroy california in 10 days.
Jenny and the whale
The commandment.
Get yours now!!

I get you are trying to troll but if that was in there, I would want it more.

But this is Government ownership of a portion of Intel. I've become very disappointed in the intellectual abilities demonstrated by many of the Drudge lefties lately. Sad. TDS hurts your brain. Please do better.

#23 | Posted by visitor_

I think it's Socialism and a great idea.

The government should own a part of these vital industries that are key for national security and keeping America running.

It's GREAT to see Visitor come out as a Socialist! It's never too late!

I bet he gets a Karl Marx tattoo soon!

Cashless bail is what allows criminals to keep committing crimes, while they decide if they want to return for their court date.

#54 | Posted by Pedo Lover lfthndthrds

Ask for a refund on your law degree.

Cashless bail is for smaller crimes like misdemeanors. It is only for people who show up for their court dates. You miss a court date, goodbye cashless bail.

It's not for serious crimes, flight risks, or anyone who misses court dates.

Cash Bail on the other hand is for rich people so they can keep committing crimes regardless of how serious the charges are. It's kind of like giving convicted pedophiles work release...like Trump and Friends did with Epstein and Maxwell.

I'm proud to support him.

#29 | Posted by Bluewaffles

Yes, you are proud to support a pedophile.

You've made that perfectly clear.

The male Viking cheerleaders are just taking jobs from qualified women.

#13 | Posted by oneironaut

As a Vikings fan for 40 years, I can tell you what the entire Vikings fan base is thinking:

"Since when did we have cheerleaders?"

The cheerleading job pays $150 per game and $50-75 per public appearance a year. If they tried to unionize, Pedo Lover OneIronBraincell would be whining that its not a real job. But because it's a dude joining the squad, it's "But they are taking their jobs!"

Corky, naw it's more so watching the entire house of cards you guys built on Trump being burned to the ground and is funny to observe. Because I know it truly is upsetting to some of you that you'll never "get him" and to me that's the most enjoyable thing of all of it.

#19 | Posted by Bluewaffles

They already got him.

You just don't care.

Fraud? Yep
Felonies? Yep
Rape? Yep
Pedophile? Yep

You love your Pedo King. Says a lot about you.

Disarm and incarcerate all criminals for years.

#97 | Posted by Robson

Can't. Republicans won't allow it.

But if you really want to incarcerate criminals, I know one who has 34 felonies!

The Fine is remanded. But being appealed.

The liability and injunction were not tossed.

#Sad

I was told ALL of it was going to be tossed by MAGA. What happened?

NG is patrolling areas of low crime that DC police would typically have to patrol, so the DC police are now free to do what they need to do to save poor people from the oppressive criminals.

#7 | Posted by Pedo Lover Oneironaut

To approve of Trump, you have to be this delusional.

#4 I noticed you had no examples, what have you seen that you recommend?
#5 | Posted by oneironaut

You idiots freaked out over Captain Marvel and She-Hulk.

You had a melt down over the female Ghostbusters AND the new Ghostbusters because of the girl lead.

You threw tantrums about Wonder Woman and the new Star Wars.

And do we even mention Barbie?

Incels freak out over any female lead unless she is hot with big ---- and kicking ass or ditzy and cute but somehow winning. And they freak out before the movie even comes out.

If its a mainstream movie with a strong female lead, you idiots lose it and scream "Woke". It has to be a niche movie ONLY for women or you all ---- your pants and start throwing it at everyone.

And what do the studios do in response? Either not make a movie or give us some ---- like Wonder Woman 1984 hoping forced nostalgia and a skin tight costume appeases the idiots. Or worse, yet another god damn Marvel movie with the same damn plot and recycled jokes as the rest of them.

#72
That's possibly the silliest, most ridiculous pile of crap I've ever seen. Do you know what a "constituent" is? Do you understand why Congress exists? The stupidity is stultifying. You ain't from around here, are you boy?

#74 | Posted by LegallyYourDead

It's quite literally whate everyone else on the planet does, including all the democracies we have set up.

Every time we get a comedy, we get a bunch of Trump Incels whining there is a woman or minority in it.

Why don't we just outlaw districts. Make every office state wide especially the federal level.

#72 | Posted by Imshakinitboss

The Republicans would lose a ton of seats. So they will never approve.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries: "I know I've totally bitched out and barely done anything to meaningfully fight Trump, but I swear I totally will in this hypothetical future even while I continue to attack any progressive Democrats who actually fight Trump and support helping the Middle Class."

You are correct. It's why I also opposed the national voting law Dems tried to pass during Biden's term.

#14 | Posted by BellRinger

Which ones specifically did you oppose?

Expert: "We can't trust crime stats because of how they are reported!"
Same Expoert: "Let's compare 2024 with 2013!"

Irony: Using the expert's numbers, homicide was much lower until Trump took over the first time and then it started jumping.

Trump: "Crime is out of control!"
MAGAts: "That's right, Mr. President!"
Trump: "And 14 years old really means 18!"
MAGAts: "Absolutely, Mr. President!"
