Can you imagine if you were a small business owner just minding your own business in DC until Trump rolled into town... ruining lives one city at a time

A hurricane is coming and FEMA cannot be counted on. Let's hope the hurricane doesn't hit S. Carolina or Tennessee!! The people there will be devastated!

A prelude to Coup 2 November 2026 - January 2027. Troops already in place to make it happen. Deny Dems control of the House. And there you go: done.

Who wants to be harassed by young MAGA cosplay soldiers/law enforcement from Louisiana, South Carolina, and Mississippi on their way to dinner or a movie? People of color, in particular, are not at all safe in the nation’s capital now, citizen or not.

The myth of violent crime. The percentage of the U.S. population that has been convicted of murder or manslaughter is extremely small—far less than 1%. Each year, the number of people convicted of these crimes is a tiny fraction compared to the total population.

They keep talking about making it “safe for tourists” but I was planning on visiting this fall and spending money on restaurants and hotels and now there’s no way if the guard is still there. Of course killing the economy (and general vibes) of a blue city is a feature not a bug for them.

Why don’t Democratic governors send troops to red states with higher crime rates than the District?

Good idea! But whatever, do something! Don’t just stand there… Serious failure of the imagination going on in the Democratic Party.
