The thread is exploiting a single crime in Washington D.C. As tragic as the event was, it's an every day reality in cities across our country...no matter their red or blue status.
As much as you would like it to be - no it is not - as already linked and shown it is the response to a continuing problem. As hard a fact as that is to swallow - it is a fact.
The writers of our Consitution, having seen the abuses of an English king, were quite wary of establishing a standing army that could be used by future leaders against the citizens.
That same Consitituion gave the President of the United States the authority to activate the National Guard - and not even the farthest left Democrat is arguing that fact -
Their caution was warranted as today, we see a president deploying the National Guard without any justification.
Their authorizing the President as commander in Chief to act is just as warranted. President Trump is not breaking the law - nor the Constitution - he is acting within his authority to bring in the National Guard to assist police, who are 700 officers short after the Democratic Mayor slashed funding for the police department. Another series of actual facts already shown and linked
Is this the America you want? Museums, subways and street corners maned by soldiers wearing combat fatigues?
Seeing my brother and sisters in the military bring a sense of security - I served. They are no threat to anyone but those wishing to do harm. That is the America I served.

What you call combat fatigues and other dramatic words are what we called BDU's - What should on duty soldiers wear?

It’s really just America being the dreadfully dangerous place it’s always been. With it’s problems of guns, drugs and mental health problems it has been able to do nothing about.

Some things just are.
Like London after dark or in the Muslim quarters? I've walked the street of your country - you really do not have a moral leg to stand on.

Yes, I realize my comments do not serve your narrative....nor the narrative of the White House.
However, what I stated is common sense.

Once more, if the White House actions were sincere and guided by data, they would be focussed on Memphis, not Washington DC. We all know highlight a single crime in D.C. is nothing more than excuse for Trump to deploy the military as a tool of political intimidation. D.C. residents see right through it...as do many Americans.

That same Consitituion gave the President of the United States the authority to activate the National Guard - and not even the farthest left Democrat is arguing that fact -
In D.C......the use of the National Guard in L.A. is under court review.
Seeing my brother and sisters in the military bring a sense of security - I served. They are no threat to anyone but those wishing to do harm. That is the America I served.

THe point is, American soldiers have no business performing civilian police work. But hey, if you want America to appear like some Latin American country where armed soldiers on the streets is not unusual, so be it. It's not the America I know.

I think that's exactly what is wanted. Trump is putting on a show--Law Enfocement Theater. If he was serious about crime there would be federal officers and troops in SE.

I don't know if you can trust the statistical data. It seems there's been an effort to cook the books
That's what you've been sold.

I dont buy that though. Nobody has pointed to a sudden change in policy. Yes there are crimes they don't track t same way but so long as they have been collecting data rhe same way over that time the drop would be consistent.

Seems like victimization to assume this is yet again, dc officials trying to take down Trump.


Tell me why I should believe Trump having to claim YET AGAIN trump is getting shake. Down to makeup him look bad...instead of him just being bad.

It wasn't to make Trump look bad, it was to make the PD and the Mayor look good, at least one police official was caught.
There could be more.

The trump partisan hey?

A soundbyte, vague comment that only needs to sow doubt while still being able to use plausible deniability and does not need to be proven.

Forgive my skepticism.
Are you talking about The Guardian?

Everyone is also aware that big balls was hitting on the 14 year old girl...then the boy and girl started beating him.


The judge has thrown the case out anyways. Something about how big balls story kept changing (wait....a liar? Nooooooo...) while the kids story and pokice report remain the same.


Hitched the victimhood wagon to the wrong star.

Bondi: 465 arrests, 68 guns seized since Trump’s DC crackdown began


In a post to X, Bondi said 52 arrests were made Monday night alone, including an alleged MS-13 gang member. Nine guns were also recovered.
"Since our mission began, there have been a total of 465 arrests, 68 guns seized, and charges for homicide, narcotics, and firearm offenses," Bondi wrote. "Nearly half of these arrests occurred in the high-crime areas of DC."

Deploying troops on American streets is rare and controversial. National Guard have been sent to Washington in recent years, to help bolster security at presidential inaugurations and during protests, including the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.
But the city's declining crime rate, coupled with the limited involvement of the troops in crime fighting, has raised questions about the political motivations behind the current deployment.

Randy Manner, a retired National Guard major general, said he believed the deployment is a step towards Trump sending National Guard troops into other Democratic-led cities.

"Not in our lifetimes has a president said that I'm going to use uniformed soldiers to reduce crime," Manner told Reuters.

"There will be soldiers in other cities in the not-too-distant future. We're turning this into a militarized environment, and it's extremely sad."
