However, I would not be surprised if Republicans pushed for that in some form or another. | ||

and while we joke moves are being made. Trump says he’s placing Washington police under federal control and activating the National Guard WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he’s taking over Washington’s police department and activating 800 members of the National Guard in the hopes of reducing crime, even as city officials stressed crime is already falling in the nation’s capital. The president, flanked by his attorney general, his defense secretary and the FBI director, said he was declaring a public safety emergency and his administration would be removing homeless encampments. “We’re going to take our capital back,” Trump declared, adding he’d also be “getting rid of the slums.” For Trump, the effort to take over public safety in Washington reflects an escalation of his aggressive approach to law enforcement. The District of Columbia’s status as a congressionally established federal district gives him a unique opportunity to push his tough-on-crime agenda, though he has not proposed solutions to the root causes of homelessness or crime. Attorney General Pam Bondi will assume responsibility for Washington’s metro police department, Trump said, as he also railed against potholes and graffiti in the city and called them “embarrassing.” The president did not provide a timeline for the control of the police department, but he’s limited to 30 days under statute. ... Local officials rejected the Republican president’s depiction of the district as crime-ridden and called his actions illegal. “The administration’s actions are unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful,” District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb said. “There is no crime emergency in the District of Columbia.” Schwalb, a Democrat, said violent crime in the district reached historic 30-year lows last year and is down another 26% this year. doing unprecedented authoritarian things because stunt - which in itself is crazy and very Trump - or actual scary move? or plain revenge for big balls having his balls handed to him and Trump feeling protective for a kindred spirit? imagine a Democrat having the gall to even think about what Trump is shamelessly doing. but more importantly getting away with it. after all Fox is fair and balanced and serious outlets fake news. Trump is nothing short of consistent really, just make the totally real "fair and balanced" Fox stories of crime ridden Democrat cities a "reality" by sending in the boys. crime stats be damned. | ||

Oh really and who are these redhats that think their COVID stimulus check came from Trump's bank account? Have you met them? How many have you met? Or are these just nameless people on twitter? I doubt you've met any of them unless you're secretly stalking them because you're a chaser of MAGA girls. Or perhaps you're bitter about being turned down by a MAGA girl? Just kidding. I don't care. I just thought I would meet you with the same argument I am met with when I make some generalization about crazies on the left. | ||

Now, if I were I in your circumstance, I would probably shut the fuck up for at least a week out shame, as opposed to wildly accusing everyone else of lies while explicitly drawing attention to the fact that you feel entitled to do so because you yourself were caught in a lie, but I guess that's the difference between you and I. I think your delusions are getting the better of you because I didn't "admit I was lying." In fact I think my response was to call it ignorance to believe that non-binary people with neopronouns don't exist in the numbers that I could have met dozens of them. | ||

And just so there's no ambiguity here, a "dozen" is 12, so "dozens" means 24 at minimum. | ||
