Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there
Didn't he steal money allocated to D.C. for the police department and other public services?
And We expect more?
All these people do is talk. The amount of useless commentary and banter does absolutely nothing to save democracy. We need the facts. We need to have reliable news sources. We don’t need a bunch of commentators spewing their views for ratings and normalizing fascism.
Views=Opinions. Like they say, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. Who the fuck cares!

It doesn’t matter anymore.
All of that money will go into ICE, Trump is an international terrorist. #PedoPOTUS #ImpeachTheFelon
That's so he can pay for his national police force.
If he was serious about cutting crime ... He wouldn't be a criminal
👆
Right?! Let’s start there!
Meanwhile, he has DEA agents out here patrolling evening joggers and tourists at, the already most secured, park in the country. Got them out there looking like TopFlight Security guards 🤦🏽♀️ bsky.app/profile/drew...
It's all going to backfire on Trump and his admin. They will be on our side. You can't stop millions of people from marching in the streets.
Marching won’t be enough.
True

Ice can
They can try, but they cannot stop 1 M in the streets
No they can't.
We need 10 million. No Kings had approx. 3 million. We need to double/triple it..
He doesn't want us to protest. Sept. 1st. 5050.one Workers over Billionaires! VOTE THEM OUT signs across the nation and across his wide screen TV. Pic of Trump/Epstein on the other side of sign. Trump hates it when millions of people rise up. Double/triple No Kings.

Its almost as if Jennings has never heard these figures
Bingo
This administration is a Fascist regime. Wake up, America. Arm yourselves!!!!
Why do CNN guests sugar coat everything? If he was serious about cutting crimes he wouldn't have freed ~= 1500 J6ers, nor the founder of Silk Road nor freed this murderer (Stopping here, but the list is a mile long.): Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...
Heard the story of how this murderer killed 3 violently with machetes and crushing the skull of one, then setting several fires in an office building, and fleeing the country where he committed the crime.
Additional sourcing Newsweek. Also in NY times, military news sites, and at least 10 other sources . www.newsweek.com/dahud-hanid-...
Take it up with Grok.
Tell us what Grok on Xwitter is saying about the naturalized. American -Venezuelan who was convicted of the 2016 triple murder in Madrid, now freely living in the USA since the end of July 2025.
Additional sourcing www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Dahud Hanid Ortiz, who was convicted last year in Venezuela of a 2016 triple homicide in Madrid is one of the 10 US nationals that arrived in TX 7/23/25, welcomed by Rubio. He murdered 3 in Madrid, fled to Venezuela & was convicted He is 2nd row center right smiling. He is in FL. No lie.
Not only free but living in the U.S.
And working for ICE
thank you to Raychel Maddow for this reporting. why is america not mad that someone who killed three people with a machete is walking the streets of florida. the hypocrisy of the admin including its doj stinks just like their leader's BO
Unbelievable story last night but he also allowed the Tate brothers back and pardoned 1700 violent felons from J6....And members of that Mexican gang he claims to be arresting. What's frightening is that his pardons come with strings. He'll ask them to do horrible things in his behalf some day.
Trump is building a private army
Trump is building an army. ICE and convicted felons, murderers, pedophiles etc.
They are spineless cowards who are afraid for their own asses
He wants to consolidate all that power under the banner of DHS. That will give Donald a domestic army he needs to implement his police state. youtu.be/2b1cPgsYe9E
He such a bitch
Trump is creating a National Army right in front of your eyes.
Made up of people who were part of the insurrection in January 2021.
He’s getting it together so he’ll be able to pull the trigger when he’s ready…people better wake up.
Ice
😡
He is only serious about ending democracy.
Can someone at CNN tell Scotty to fuck himself and fire him? His 1/6/21 tweet called out the Orange Hitler for the insurrection Now he spends his day kissing Orange’s ass
I can't with this show. Unwatchable.
He just doesn't want to see the homeless alongside the road on his way to the golf course, so he called in the Army.
Scott Jennings looks uncomfortable. I wonder how this started....
Exactly
They want free wheeling crime spree, hang your heads down!
Yet, he's increasing DHS budget for his new personal paramilitary by billions. 🤔
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
FELON TRUMP IS POCKETING BILLIONS OF TAXPAYERS MONEY - HES A FUCKING CROOK - I MEAN MUSK AND TRUMP HACKED HIM INTO OUR HOUSE - HES NOT EVEN OUR PRESIDENT!!!
Saw a bit of this and very good points. But Jennings and the other 47 boot licker went crazy. They have set talking points and cannot rationally think outside of that small box.
And all we seem to be able to do is sit around and talk about it. Where are the Democrats?
DC should host a peaceful night out with music and laughing and everyone in the streets. Film it and post it everywhere with a caption "Night life in crime-ridden DC."
Triple murderer Dahud Hanid Ortiz, dual American and Venezuelan citizenship, was released in the U.S. after serving 6 years and 9 months behind bars, per the June prisoner swap with Venezuela. He is currently in the Orlando, FL, area.
So who is actually defending law enforcement here? His name is trump
Jennings has one of the most punchable faces on network news.
This isn't about crime. It's about anticipated protests.
The Scream Show. Great topics, totally out of control participants. Typical Yanks, IMO.
Actually reducing money that is wasted on the War on Drugs is a good way to cut crime, but that’s obviously not his intent and another discussion altogether.
He isn’t “serious” about anything. He’s a blithering, #corrupt #idiot.
Well he needs money to build a nuclear reactor on the moon and a few other little necessities.
EXACTLY
He’s a criminal. He doesn’t want to cut crime. He just wants control so he can be a criminal with impunity.
the average homeless person on the streets of DC has thirty-four fewer felony convictions than the current president of the United States...
Control and theater; he thinks it makes him look strong, decisive and effective. Unfortunately, a lot of the brain-dead chumps in his base eat it up. In fact it is like his military parade, a colossal waste of time and money that accomplishes nothing.
Distract from Epstein files.
Oh
Trump lives in a fantasy hell-hole, and wants you to believe you do too. It's childish bullshit, and anyone with one iota of intelligence will see through this bullshit. He is a lawless fuck, doing everything he can to distract from his biggest Epstein file problem, and make himself look tough.
No matter what he does,the world knows he's a P3dophile
Well, how else will he finish gilding the White House? Rob the poor to impress the rich, aye?
He is Full of bull...
We used to have Tricky Dick, now we have the Tricky Toadstool.
Go figure! And MAGA Foollowers keep supporting this Orange Narcissistic Sociopath. I guess they have lost the ability to think and analyze by themselves. Every hour produces strong evidence that this President needs to be removed and yet they don’t see!!! Brain dead? Brainwashed? Blind and deaf?
They also don’t hear about everything he is doing, how unconstitutional it is or ehere it steps over boundaries. That is the problem with very siloed media and state run TV
Please keep in mind that that MAGA « Foollowers » and Republican voters only listen to Fox News and read Facebook fake news. Remember MAGA means Make America GULLIBLE Again.
The fake President is trying to build an army to stay in power & out of prison. It’s starting to become obvious what he & all his other Russian Asset accomplices have done. He’s scared…it leaked that the NSA audited our election & it’s a matter of time before the third party leaks the Epstein tapes!
Criminals are rarely "tough on crime"
True
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Correct! The show of police-force is for intimidation, not at all for reducing crime. Red meat for the moron base.
It’s always bullshit with Trump. I feel like we need to stop paying attention to what he says and keep filing lawsuits immediately after what he does.
He never runs out of diabolical plans. Never.
Trump is simply a professional liar, deceitful, and treats us as if we have no brain.
Trump is all show and no go!
How does a convicted felon, an adjudicated sexual assaulter, a criminal…talk about crime?! When he himself belongs incarcerated for his convicted crimes…outrageous and ridiculous! 🤦🏻♀️
He might be ridiculous, but there is nothing ridiculous about seeing military on the streets of cities. This is Russia / N.Korea in the US.
agreed! 😳
Scott Jennings is a flaming asshole and suck up
We will see in court. This better not go to drunk judge..
Felon wants to 'crack some heads' just like his first term. America deserves better. And that requires Justice.
Justice has become a very small word in today's US, around about a 3pt font in a GOP bought judicial system. The road ahead is very steep but climbable.
I am afraid this steep road ahead might not be there for you to climb if this lunatic is allowed to 'Hitler' his way through.
He won’t!!! My faith tells me so
Hallelujah 🙏🏼
Get rid of elected Republucans
bsky.app/profile/af68...
MAGA people aren’t so smart they could figure that out.
This is a fascist coup….ffs stop pretending it’s anything else…defcon 2

And not DC by any stretch. They are testing the boundaries of martial law
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Boom. Well said.
Scott sure kept his piehole shut for longer than usual.
Very clearly and concisely said.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
It’s not about, nor has it ever been about, crime or justice for MAGA/GOP/Trump, it is about power and the ability to, through the use of force, if necessary, impose their beliefs onto the American populace.
Scott Jennings Does not care. CNN does not care The MAGA/QAnon 77 million Voters do not care. The Republican House & Senate do not care. The right wing SCOTUS does not care. The Billionaires do not care. Wall Street Corporations do not care. The Project 2025 Christian White Nationalists do not care.
Sadly, true
Or pardoning 1700 Jan 6 violent insurrectionists
Another day, another ……..SQUIRREL!!!
Put this fascist administration in jail and we'd cut crime way down. Put the Republicans in Congress in jail and it would be even more. Add the people he pardoned, and we'd have almost no crime left.
I'm not sure he doesn't just want to be the "YOU'RE FIRED" guy regardless of outcome. He can do it on his own and apparently he thinks it makes him look strong.
Hey, I have a great idea. Why don’t you just merge the ATF and the FBI? Save lots of money and they basically do the same shitty job anyways so you might as well just put them together and save the money.
It’s never been about decreasing crime - it’s all about the accumulation of power and wealth by way of the implementation of authoritarianism.
Sounds like the road map Hitler used
Anything with that jack face Scott Jennings on it, will get a hard pass from me.
Ask Scott to explain why Ghislaine was given a lighter security stay. How’d she get so lucky?
Alternatively… It puts her in easy reach.
Trump moved his Ghislaine Maxwell to Texas to protect his vile secrets. Ghoulish Ghislaine’s low security detention allows her to leave the premises. She r*ped and trafficked these girls…and Trump indulged in the illicit perversion.
Then access to her will be much easier.
What possible “work” does Ghislaine even have?! This is such a travesty
Gosh you mean Maxwell can now go out on the street all by herself…. alone…. unprotected…? Gee wiz I hope she doesn’t accidentally fall off a cliff or out of a high rise window… all by herself…in big bad Republican bootlicking Texas. Maybe some of those Jan 6 guys can escort her.
Explain to me like I'm 6 yo exactly what type of work is a convicted child trafficker qualified to do?
Sen. Whitehouse is doing his own investigation. Seems the move is against our laws. Sex criminals are not allowed in minimum security prisons.
Apparently, they are now.
What will he do? Sen. Whitehouse likes to appear as though he's doing something but in the end he does nothing more than write a sternly worded letter....Much like Schumer.
Pushing any further almost certainly leads to a lawsuit about encroachment on Presidential authority and I wonder if Maxwell wasn't moved to Texas specifically so a certain judge - initials MK - would be the one you oversee such proceedings
If a president has immunity and we have to worry about Presidential encroachment there's nothing left to democracy. This is an out of control despot. Who only ran to avoid prison and whose crimes are so pervasive they keep reappearing. At some point we'll realize two died from his assassination hoax
We never imagined so many Republicans would pretend that pedophilia is not a big deal, working to protect the vile monster instead of his victims. Large scale depravity with no bottom in sight.
They were always that way. You just didn't listen
MAGA: "old enough to bleed, old enough to breed"
True. So start screaming at all those lazy fecks who didn't bother to vote
I wish I had something of an upbeat tone to counter your opening sentence with Alas I do not 💔🇺🇸😞
I just want to be clear about where we are. Whatever the counter is going to be we best get behind it and fight like hell.
get behind what you believe in and fight like hell for that
Trump has No respect for the law.nor does ANY elected Republican
wonder if she is sleeping with both eyes closed
So now you see why the party of Family Values is not what it said it was
Jennings is starting to resemble Pee Wee Herman. I can't imaging the anxiety that guy feels every morning when he opens his eyes. Living a life of lies is hard. Hope he dies early.
The pressure is certainly starting to show.
The bags of 💰 Jennings gets from @CNN I am sure he sleeps with a smile on his face!
#FUCKREPUBLICANS
YES! This! And WHY is Congress letting him cut funds they allocated--they, the branch SUPPOSED to allocate funds--to play around acting like a damn general. Every real general, like 'em or not, good or bad, started out as either a cadet or a private. They had to make it through a bunch of tests.
Draft dodger in Chief, here, has never commanded even a couple of privates picking up trash. And he wants to picture himself as a military leader?! And militarize other cities? Bah!
The only thing he is serious about is enriching himself— financially or egotistically. If he wasn’t so dangerous, he would be a joke.
I see CNN is still platforming liars like Scott Jennings. Good game.
Jennings sitting there trying to come up with some justification and coming up blank.
Justification or distraction. When Jennings leaves CNN, I might consider adding them to my cable package again.
Never helping CNN make money. @meidastouch.com @thetnholler.bsky.social
He’s auditioning for a spot on Fox‼️🙄🙄
That's the thing, though - he's not just cutting funds, he's redefining what "crime" looks like. And if you're not part of the "right" crowd, you're just a statistic.
Always fun to watch Jennings try to process facts he doesn't like. Koh is spot on, irrefutably.
That's why this is called an " EPSTEIN DISTRACTION"
bsky.app/profile/xxch...
We have a reality tv show sexual predator bankrupting grifting felon as president. Still can’t believe it
Wonder what Jennings the quisling will say when the orange paedo is gunning Americans down in the street..it was always white, straight, rich Americans first everyone else is a target.
This is just another forward step towards a complete fascist takeover. It’s part of the plan. This scenario was easy to extrapolate at the beginning of his reign. If this comes as a surprise then you haven’t been paying attention.Not much imagination needed to see where you are going America.
its all pony show ..and rely s on stupid to suck it up...
Just distraction to get the Epstein files out of the news cycle .
It’s not and never was about cutting crime or cutting waste or doing anything for the benefit of the community. It’s about seizing and securing as much authoritarian power as possible before JD takes the reigns
Curious was there a comeback from Jennings? Let me guess talking points…
Trump is only serious about emptying the government coffers of as much money as he, his family and friends can steal.
End the crime wave! Arrest Trump!
OH, just some more DISTRACTION MAGA goonie "logic" RELEASE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN/TRUMPER FILES & LISTS NOW!!! NO MORE DISTRACTIONS!!! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING & KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING 'trumpy dumpy' !!!
Equivocating on camera will do nothing — it’s NOT the $$$$
They're forgetting that the Turd is a dumb dictator!
youtu.be/p1zQHvvgXOs?...
They are only serious about making money.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
The simple answer is, he's cutting everything in order to commit the funds to the military, which he is already using as his own private police force. And we're letting him get away with it.
MAGA nationalist thrive on crime— they are crafted at keeping it going. They know sending troops into a city unnecessarily will create chaos, its needed for spin. They manufacture reasons for it, then project it onto Democrats or certain segments of the country. They are masters at it.
Whoa! An entire clip, and Jennings said nothing for 42 seconds. Is he hungover?
That money’s going to DHS & DOD. The massive and massively rushed build up & domestic deployments are in advance of what? Not just a police state. They’re anticipating a huge outcry against something they’re about to do. Start digging. Get that scoop.
Truth to power!
bsky.app/profile/acyn...
What happened to her? Don’t watch CNN anymore, used to watch Kasey on msnbc…she looked bored and lots of eye darting. Normalizing all of this for their own lucrative careers. Gross
They cut $1 billion to DC.
FBI agents riding bicycles through the streets of D.C. makes us look like a bunch of clowns
I’m only here for a fuck u Jennings
No one is more rude, arrogant, and disrespectful than that Ben guy. I guess CNN wants a MAGA jackass as part of the show. Big mistake. Love Abby but can’t continue to watch if that guy becomes a regular.
scott jennings, the ultimate white privileged scumbag. nothing bothers him, but always angry about nothing.
Thank you, President Trump for making DC safe again.
Said it clear and factually. Listen up. May be nearing our last chances to act.
We can act till the day we die.
Why govern when you can distract the world from fact that you are in the #epstein files and you are unwilling to #releasethefiles?
TACO trump will do anything to get the Epstein List out of the headlines.
Jennings knows he's supporting a pedo fascist. You can see it in his face.
CNN is paying him a lot of money to sit there a defend in the indefensible.
Which is only ONE of the reasons I don't watch @cnn-news.bsky.social any longer! Also watch very little of @msnbc.com w/ the exception of @nicollewallace.bsky.social & @maddow.msnbc.com Can't stand their stupid ads, especially the one w/ @stephruhle.bsky.social telling us "keep your pads on"
I stopped watching CNN after the pandemic.
I love Stephanie. But, they DO need to stop showing that clip. We no longer have checks & balances. Just outlaw criminals running the country into a dystopian landscape.
Agree 100%! She would be right up there near the top of my list. She's smart as a whip & empathy overflow! I love that I know when a story gets to her & that she cries right along with the rest of us. But they are using her with that ad. It infuriates me.
Always follow the money
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Come on Jennings, say something stupid so I can click the shut-the-fuck-up button.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Anything to distract from the Epstein files
And evil clown, doing everything to destroy America
Violence against women is only an issue when they can make racist hay out of it.
Summed it up well. I wonder how Scott defended his brain addled boss.
A convicted felon hard on crime .... Only in America
They're staging, Orange Fuckface is going to go full dictator and he believes the troops won't immediately depose him.
He doesn't give a damn about crime, but the more money that's diverted from legitimate purposes, the more there is in the system, and the more he can divert for himself.
The men at @cnn.com are truly some of the worst on MSM
How the hell is Scott Jennings still alive??
But how could he be serious about cutting crime? He IS crime. Crime has taken over the US and every new policy has the needs of criminals at its heart
Release the Epstein file.
💯; just.showing receipts
Why does Trump lie pathologically? A lack of respect for the collective intelligence:🇺🇸 Lying suggests the liar believes the other person is either too naive to see through the deception or not deserving of the truth. 📍Trump fooled the country, not once but TWICE. Stupid is as stupid does.
90% of America: CNN still exists?
How does anyone watch CNN?? Look at that idiot ringing his hands because he can't stand what he's hearing. Lol. Not sure what his name is, I call him ass hole.
Trump is a twat…
Wasn't Scott Fucking Jennings supposed to be leaving CNN? If they'd like their ratings to go up again, they should kick his ass out yesterday.
He’s not serious about anything and we know that by now. Let’s stop trying to justify anything he says. Let’s concentrate on ending his rule.
Good point here!
Fuck anyone who sits down with Jennings. That show is trash anyway.
TRUMP & REPUBLICANS ALWAYS LIE... No more talking & courts. Trump & Republicans are against American constitution & only way to stop Trump & Republican FEAR is for local police to stand-up protecting public & eliminate the FEAR reinstating American constitution.
Ugh, SJ that Howdy Doody mfer.
Common sense on a political talk show? Nooo...
Funny how that maga guy on the panel (I honestly always forget his name) never seems to interrupt White men speaking.
PS: Oh, and get ready...Los Angeles and D.C. may be just a warning, a honing of the FASCIST BAYONET as the 2026 and 2028 elections approach...
That's nice, but the real problem is that as long as he uses the law, as long as bureaucrats "follow orders", as long as spineless politicians back him, and the "supreme" Frankencourt slaps down lower courts, the OLD DICTATOR can do whatever he wants...and apparently no one can stop him...
While Scott Jennings literally dies inside 😏
That about sums it up in a terrifying way.
That guy sounds terribly competent; oh yeah, Biden Administration Professional
Orange pedo knows that it is the real criminal. It’s trying to stay out of jail.
Or forcing law abiding citizens to rob banks in order to pay for their existence. Republicans are SUCKERS AND LOSERS !
If / then If / then If / then He’s NOT serious about it. Any of it. He’s serious about Jeffrey Epstein.

If Trump backed the blue, he wouldn't have pardoned over a thousand creeps that came to the Capitol with violence on their minds.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
He is right, moving ATF, FBI and DEA to ICE is ludicrous
There’s no consistent correlation between spending on law enforcement and crime rates, and the last thing we need from Dems is the argument that society is better when we expand the police state
Indeed. The current mayor of Baltimore has substantially cut crime with a multi-pronged approach -- not only youth programs and community services, but better police ACCOUNTABILITY. Which improves community TRUST in the police. Broken window enforcement has failed.
Absolutely correct. We need to be a bit afraid of all this. Where is the anger and fight from dems. Meaning, what's their plan. The R's have been planning and meeting for years. Their PACS and Orban and Erdogan and Project25. What have the dems been planning? eh? what?
Bravo
bsky.app/profile/af68...
that’s right ! he needs to be impeached !
EVERYTHING the Trump Administration says is a LIE.
Do you think House Republicans would ever consider impeaching their Orange Deity? It'll never happen. Our only hope is to hope the 2026 elections aren't tampered w again so we can elect a Democratic Congress. Only then can we start to consider impeachment. Sometimes reality sucks!
When the Executive has control of SCOTUS, DOJ and most federal courts, impeachment attempts are wasted effort. Just the Felon's violations of the emoluments clause is sufficient for impeachment but only if the House allows an investigation. The mid-terms are critical to the survival of the US!
And the way to sway those elections is to push the GOP into a position of having to defend their refusal to impeach in the face of concrete evidence of criminal activity. The court of public opinion is the only Court left that we have the power to affect.
We gave Pelosi a majority in 2018 and she did ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING with it. She actively enabled the fascist takeover by normalizing the corrupt dirtbag's crime spree. We need to learn from that really dumb mistake and force them all to advocate for impeachment right now.
TRUTH! Yet, why are so many people including Dems, media, law enforcement etc. capitulating to him. He's a weak, insecure, stupid, mentally-disturbed-demented megalomaniac who could've and should've been stopped in his tracks years ago.Beggars belief why non-Maga bow down to such a pathetic low-life
Absolutely!!!! 💯 💯💯
He’s only serious about controlling & imprisoning minorities. They failed to get Bondi’s brother in as DC bar president. This is plan b on controlling the trajectory of criminal justice & the federal circuit, among other nefarious plans.
He’s not serious about anything but corruption
and sexual assault of minors
That’s the longest period of silence I’ve ever seen from Jennings.
Does Scott Jennings have a dedicated cameraman and contract that requires his nasty smirking face shown ALL THE TIME.
Epstein
Release the Trump/Epstein files. #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles #99vs1
I mean how else can Trump afford $170B in deficit spending on his Immigrant Terror and Imprisonment Campaign?
So Abbey- what really is the strategy for continuing to have unrepentant liar, Scott Jennings continue to embarrass your platform day after day?? We would rather have nothing from the right as opposed to complete lies.
Its kind of hard to take a criminal [criminals] serious saying they're "serious about crime 🤔🙃🤣
Well said by Koh.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
The Republican commentators have sold their souls. They defend any and all Trump actions, dumb, illegal, backwards, hateful, racist, or otherwise. Character matters and should not be for sale. Their families probably hate them.
He could actually care less about crime, he just wants to divert our attention away from him. The more he points over there, the more we should say, but wait, what about this.
It accomplishes a lot of his goals. He is able to slander democrats as a whole by lying about cities. The actions confirm to his cultists that his lies are true. This is also practice for bigger cities where he has no constitutional role in their management.
So Don’t let him!!!’
