Donald the Orange has been flexing his muscle to the tune of lies and misinformation…..while the people of this country suffer with slashes to their health care and rising food costs as well as rent going out of sight….the idiot in the room has decided to takeover the nation’s capital on a LIE.
President Trump is deploying the National Guard onto the streets of Washington, DC, and placing the district’s Metropolitan Police Department under temporary federal control, reports the Washington Post, which describes the moves as an “extraordinary flex of federal power.”
- “I’m announcing a historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor and worse,” Trump said in a Monday morning news conference.
- One big part of the initiative is clearing out DC’s homeless population, and the White House already had mobilized FBI agents to aid local law enforcement. Now it plans to activate about 800 members of the Guard as well, reports Politico.
- Before his announcement, Trump declared that DC “will be liberated today!” in a Truth Social post. “I will make our capital great again!” he added, in all caps. “The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER!”
- Earlier this year, the US Attorney’s Office in DC trumpeted a stat that seems to contradict Trump’s narrative of crime run amok, notes the New York Times: Violent crime is at a 30-year low in the district.
- Last week, a high-profile member of the Department of Government Efficiency was car-jacked in DC, and Trump called attention to the attack on Monday. He was “savagely beaten by a band of roving thugs,” said Trump. “Can’t believe that he’s still alive.”
Liberated from what? Crime has been down for 3 years running….what is this asshole’s desire here?
But the best stuff coming from motor mouth himself is about the homeless….
President Trump has ordered homeless people to move out of Washington, DC, “immediately.” “We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,” he wrote Sunday morning on Truth Social, not long after arriving at his Virginia golf club from the White House, the Guardian reports. Trump shared photos that appeared to be taken from his motorcade, showing a handful of tents near a highway on-ramp about a mile from the White House and one person sleeping on the steps of the American Institute of Pharmacy Building.
Trump then teased Monday’s press conference, where he vowed to address crime and the “beautification” of the capital. “The Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive,” he wrote. “Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again.” Data released in January shows violent crime in DC was actually down 35% in 2024 for its lowest level in 30 years, per the Guardian. Mayor Muriel Bowser said Sunday that violent crime has declined another 26% so far this year, and that overall crime is down 7%, per MSNBC.
Homelessness, though a visible problem, is not an epidemic. About 800 unsheltered people sleep outside in the city of 700,000, according to the Community Partnership. Another 3,275 use emergency shelters and 1,065 are in transitional housing. As president, Trump controls only federal land and buildings in DC. It’s unclear what legal authority he plans to use to evict homeless people. “The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong,” he wrote as he reportedly prepares to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, per Reuters.
He also said he would find them a home far from DC….that translates into another gulag deep in the disease infested Everglades….
Nothing about any of this should sit well on the stomachs of Americans….if it does then you are NOT an American you are a Nazi looking for blood from those you hate.
Was that plain enough for you MAGA d/bags?
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
what is this asshole’s desire here? — Do you have to ask??!!?
I do not but I would like a supporter to explain why this is good….and I wait. chuq
It is part of a genius plan to make sure America is safe and secure again… if the local yokels can’t run things, then somebody else needs to…..and who is more qualified than the Feds? Bout time we cleaned up those acts.
this country will only be safe and secure once our beloved (koff koff) leader is out of office. although at this point if feels as if he’s settling in for the long haul.
That is such crap! The people of the city should have the only say…not some fat ass old fart with illusions of power. chuq
This joke isn’t funny any more. An example of the pot calling the kettle black, re crime?
Nan….if successful this is only the beginning. chuq
How do I reblog?
I click on the address and post where I want it…it works for me….chuq
He screams about crime and chaos…all lies, but his gang laps it up…we live in LA…people actually asked us if we were safe from the riots engulfing the city. It was a peaceful protest in 2-3 city blocks near the federal building. He creates chaos to cover up his lies and deceit…he is sickening
Thanx for filling in the blanks for my readers….I appreciate your time and effort. chuq
