“President Trump brags that D.C. is “NOW A CRIME FREE ZONE” after he sent in federal officers. Metropolitan Police crime stats suggest otherwise.” So many issues in just two sentences… 1) The statistics don’t “suggest”, they “prove” otherwise. 2) DJT crimes every day. QED, DC isn’t crime free.

‘Wyoming’s law, the group noted, also says parents can sue any website they think is violating the law, “effectively turning anyone into a potential content cop.”’ Almost makes me wish I lived in Wyoming. The Bible has a lot of things that are “harmful to minors” and there are lots of Bible sites…
