“The president—who has been found liable for lying on loan paperwork—is the one to make monetary policy decisions, not the person who merely has been accused of lying on loan paperwork.”
“The president—who has been found liable for lying on loan paperwork—is the one to make monetary policy decisions, not the person who merely has been accused of lying on loan paperwork.”
So is it a big deal to mishandle classified documents, or no?
So should we have “confidence in the integrity” of people who lie on loan paperwork, or no? www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

Typo correction: he will not be *deturded*
Seems like we agree on a lot, including the belief that policy choices must not ignore the government’s role in protecting its citizens. I am unconvinced that “federalization” is the solution. There’s a lot of good data that says localizing, not centralizing, the policing function is the better way.
But since you asked, Baltimore is a regionally adjacent city with historically high crime that has made amazing progress in this regard. I think it could be a model for DC (and I think two cities’ approaches already have similarities).
I started it to push back on the Vice President’s claim that disliking POTUS’s plan to “federalize” DC policing equated to “liking” a high crime rate (and his use of old data and irrelevant comparisons in the process)…
You seem to only argue by categorical statements. Plenty about DC is great—like the precipitous drop in crime—and I’ve said nothing that contradicts that. I did not start this thread to argue about how DC can reduce crime…
Your approach here is strange for someone who does not enjoy debates that break down into petty insults. I’m not saying everything in DC is great. I’m suggesting that current efforts are making marked improvements and arguing that shifting to a mass policing strategy may not be the best approach.
And like your other claims, your accusation that I know nothing of DC is similarly baseless. You seem to have a strange view of the city as having “two areas.” Logan Circle, H Street, Petworth, Shaw, Navy Yard are different “areas” that have seen massive transformation in the last 10-20 years.
Umm… your WTOP article explains that 33% of its 123,000 number are rental units merely between tenants. Your “evidence” just doesn’t hold up. Sorry. At best, you are arguing from anecdotes while choosing to ignore that the trend line is moving in the right direction in DC right now.
11th highest home prices in the U.S. and vacancy rates right around the national average. You’re really losing me here. www.kiplinger.com/real-estate/...
Your argument is floundering. You said funding was the problem. The provided stats excluded federal police forces you referenced (Secret Service, FPS, Capitol Police, SCUSPD, & National Park Police). So back to my original question: should we just do more of what’s working, or something different?
“The District of Columbia spent the most per capita on police in 2021 at $1,000”
This is a valid point. The question is: do we continue the policies responsible for the 32% drop or do something entirely different?

Now we’re catching on!

“[Trump’s personal defense lawyer] also said the agency stands by its assertion in the memo that ‘no evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.’” Perhaps because DoJ policy is not to initiate criminal investigations of a sitting president?
A lawyer who has formerly represented a client in a matter shall not thereafter represent another person in the same or a substantially related matter in which that person's interests are materially adverse to the interests of the former client…

And what’s the likelihood that it’s assigned to Judge Cannon?
And now we get to test the limits of the libel proof plaintiff doctrine!
Remember how terrible it was when a Biden staffer pressured Meta to suppress lies about COVID?
SURPRISE!
“Demonstrate… the capacity and freedom of maneuver of federal law enforcement…” TO WHOM? To whom is this task force demonstrating this capacity? Also, who wrote this order? They need to go back and check their doctrinal terms.
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Orphan of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows a world-wide warning; her mild eyes command That all who come be clean, well-rested, and hand over several grand.
When the notion of “full faith and credit” becomes “ha! best of luck with that!”
What the fuuuuuuuuuck www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...
Confirmed. It’s peaceful.
My producer just told me to read this script into the cameras, which tells me to call a former Senate colleague the wrong name and to accuse him of merely engaging in theater.
May the road rise up to meet you and the bombs that fall on you be peaceful. Or at least mostly peaceful.
Depoliticizing the weaponized DoJ by appointing an official in a method he claimed was unconstitutional as a weapon to substantiate a politically motivated lie. Seems normal.
Ted Cruz: “I support Israel because of a parable in the Bible. Also Ted Cruz: “We need regime change in Iran because the Ayatollah is a religious zealot.”
Pardon me?
What are the chances that one or both of the two murderous criminals would be in jail right now but for a Trump pardon?
Art of the deal!!!
And what LLM is the comms team at the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security using that spits out the British spelling of “theater?” That’s UNAMERICAN!!
“Changes are coming!” Stand by for a State Department sanctioned program of corporate slavery that provides for the “importation” and “supervision” of “approved” foreign labor.
Just kidding!! We actually are still worse off than we were before the genius deal maker went to work. www.wsj.com/world/china/...
If a hurricane destroys your whole city you’re on your own but if 25 criminals burn 3 cars? SEND IN THE MARINES!!!
Art of the deal! Now we can do *some* of the things we already were doing before Dear Leader started us on the tariff seesaw ride.
Good thing he rejected the premise that this administration could possibly issue an illegal order. 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines are in good hands.
Finally, there are no gatekeepers and the Department of Justice is longer weaponized!
