You aren't cowtowing to anyone. You live in Canada. Whats going in in DC has no effect on your life whatsoever. But the people in DC will appreciate it as their city becomes cleaner and safer. So will those who wish to visit or live there in the future if this is done right.

So now you've abandoned reason and are trying to argue by assertion. Which is a sufficient admission for now.
Sadly, it seems so.

I dont care what the "SURVEY SAYS". It all depends on who responded. Could have been a lot of people like you and fewer people like me. And there's an awful lot of people who have no idea what's going on.
Those who have been affected by the crime and those who care about the victims, past, present and future, appreciate something being done to protect them.
Whether it will work remains to be seen. I hope it will.

I've explained why it totally fails. It doesn't make any sense, again, as one hurricane can be an emergency and three hurricanes can be not an emergency, depending on circumstances. If crime was not an emergency before, then considerably less crime now hardly constitutes one as things have gotten better, not worse.
If that's the best rebuttal you can come up with, well, so much the worse for your argument.

Whats SE? And if it us bad there and part of DC, they SHOULD go there.
As much a i talk about supporting actions Trump has taken i ALWAYS remain skeptical. ANYTHING the federal government does, regardless of who is in charge, gets skeptical from me. Ive been paying attention for a long time and have seen time and again the feds go to do something and totally fail at it.
Once again, I believe this is a great move. Will they do it right? Im skeptical. Will they complete what they've started. I'm skeptical.

Yup, still ignoring the point. I cant do a good rebuttal if you just ignore the whole point.

As you see, the deflection attempt is not about winning the next election, it's to somehow get people's attention off of what Trump and Epstein were doing together.
The "emergency response" is, so far, merely performative, with troops stationed in high visiblity, low-crime areas of D.C. They did arrest a violent criminal who tossed a subway sandwich at one of the occupying troops. So getting that violent crime rate down...
Mostly tried to deflect from. Crime has been steadily falling in D.C. This, Trump assures us, is an "emergency." The real emergency is that repeated attempts to deflect from the Epstein cover-up have failed.

Why did you respond to my post initially? It wasn’t even addressed to you. I had responded to another poster. The deflection is yours.

While it shares characteristics with other major American cities, Washington, D.C. is unique in several significant ways:
- Federal District Status: Unlike other cities, Washington D.C. is a federal district, not part of any state.
- Direct Congressional Authority: The U.S. Constitution places the District under the exclusive legislation of Congress.
- Limited Self-Governance: While it has an elected mayor and city council, local laws are subject to congressional review and potential veto.
- Limited Representation: Residents do not have voting representation in Congress. They elect a non-voting delegate to the House of Representatives and have no representation in the Senate.

I doubt it. They're just doing their thing elsewhere in the city, and if they're any good at being criminals, they know the location of the federales. I mean, it's not like it's a big secret. This is keystone cops kind of stuff for people trying to be criminals. It's very Trumpy.

As Guard deploys, Trump to seek 'long-term' federal control of DC police
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will seek more permanent federal control of the Washington, D.C., police force as he continues his efforts to ramp-up crime enforcement in the nation's capital.
Trump indicated at one point that he'd ask Congress for more funds to fight crime and to make repairs to Washington's streets and parks.
[Why didn't he ask them to do that before wresting control?]

Oh noes federal control of the federal district.
Because it's better to make repairs after those who have trashed the place have been removed.
