You really think martial law is the solution to minor crime?

Oddly, crime went down by approximately the same amount in most major US cities meaning that Giuliani's tactic of trampling citizens' rights based on race/ethnicity, gender, age and neighborhood traumatized a generation of young men for no good reason.

Demonstration of your assertion?

I did and learned that an autocrat declaring martial law doesn't bode well for for democracy and self-rule.

Washington residents are starting to see the impact of President Donald Trump’s decision to place the D.C. police under direct federal control and deploy the National Guard to the streets to fight crime. FBI, Border Patrol and ICE agents were seen overnight in sections of the city.

Should we feel better that resources such as the FBI, Border Patrol (??) and ICE (???) agents are spending their time performing community police work?

Trump is not an autocrat. He was democratically elected.

He is, in the 2nd sense. He was.

He does care about other people's feelings. Particularly those who elected him. He just nolonger cares about your feeling, or any other liberal for that matter. Because he has come to the conclusion that the vast majority of his opponents are mentally incapable of approving anything he does whether it is good or bad. We have seen it during Trump's address to congress in which every democrat sat on their hands when good and wholesome news was given. The whining and complaining from the left is just white noise, and the MAJORITY of the American people, to include Trump, has stopped paying attention.

Just briefly taking you off of ignore to remind you he’s supposed to be the president for the entire country, not just the few remaining people who still support him.

You’re now back on ignore so don’t bother replying.

You need a more accurate source of information. . .

No wonder you think what you do.

I dont care if you have me on ignore. I am replying anyway because you posted. Frankly, your response is a desperate plea of defeat. Where was your cry about presidents being the president of the "entire country" when Joe Biden called all MAGA supports a grave threat of our democracy? Please spare me the nonsense.

Frankly, he’s right about you. Maybe even a bit too kind.

Back on ignore you go.

...in his own words yesterday: (it seems D.C. has replaced Chicago....as the MAGA punching bag)

You'll say, oh, so terrible. No, we're getting rid of the slums where they live. Caravans of masked youth rampage through city streets at all times of the day. They're on ATVs, motorbikes. They travel pretty well. Entire neighborhoods are now under emergency curfews. Just this past weekend, gunfire through -- went through, and you saw that, the Navy yard.

I saw it this morning. I saw that they fought back against -- I see they fight back until you knock the h*** out of them, because it's the only language they understand. But they fought back against law enforcement last night and they're not going to be fighting back long because I've instructed them and told them whatever happens -- you know, they love to spit in the face of the police as the police are standing up there in uniform.

They're standing and they're screaming at them, an inch away from their face, and then they start spitting in their face. And I said, you tell them, you spit and we hit, and they can hit real hard. It's a disgusting thing. I've watched that for years, for three or four years, I've watched them, the police are stand -- and they're told, don't do anything under any circumstances.

And you can see they want to get at it and they're standing there and the people are spitting in their face and they're not allowed to do anything. But now they are allowed to do whatever the hell they want. This dire public safety crisis stems directly from the abject failures of the city's local leadership.

The radical left City Council adopted no cash bail. By the way, every place in the country where you have no cash bail is a disaster. That's what started the problem in New York, and they don't change it. They don't want to change it. That's what started it in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians started it, bad leadership started it. But that was the one thing that's central, no cash bail.

...more red meat for MAGA:

“The laws are weak,” said Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host now serving as Trump’s U.S. attorney for D.C. “I can’t touch you if you’re 14, 15, 16, 17 years old, and you have a gun.”

Pirro is among many right-wing influencers who back up the president’s assertion that D.C. is a city under almost-constant threat. The amplification has been especially acute over the last seven days, since Trump posted on his Truth Social account about a member of his administration who was “left dripping with blood” after he was attacked by a group of youths near Dupont Circle. In that time period, discussion of crime in D.C. spiked nearly 300 percent among such influencers compared to the prior week, according to a Washington Post analysis of posts and podcasts from over 200 accounts. Trump himself has fanned interest in the topic with additional posts to Truth Social and X as well as in fundraising emails.
