    Maybe I'm just being naive here, but I can't help but feel like this has nothing to do with reducing crime.

    Trump says he’s placing DC police under federal control and deploying National Guard

    No you're right.. it's control and he's gonna keep going.

    DC has been a shit hole for quite some time.  Just like NY, Philly, LA, SF...or any blue ran metro city for that part. Handing out free crack pipes and needles isn't answer.

    Suppose there isn't any crime in your city.... make sure you stay far away from those dangerous places ... since you're scared

    It’s so fun being a 10 percenter who sees through it all.  Actually, it’s not, because there aren’t enough of us to do anything about it. Wake your asses up.   There is the left wing, and the right wing. They are connected to the same bird, and it only flies in one direction.  Rich get richer, poor get poorer, and the middle class gets smaller.  It doesn’t matter who the President is.  Democrats are the problem. Republicans are the problem.  The majority of citizens being convinced that one or the other are the “good guys” is the biggest problem. And that bird just keeps gliding…


    I don't know whats better the "both sides are the same!1" or the above the fray-ness 10%er statement.

    Is he doing this to deter protests in DC...people protesting outside the White House?
    What other reasons could he have?


    Could be this...
    except this is not true. 

    st louis, where i live, has a higher murder rate than dc.

    memphis has the highest,

    then baltimore,

    then st, louis.

    I see now. He mentioned the homeless a while ago and now he'll have his gestapo harass the homeless in DC. Will he line the streets with gold too to make it "pretty." The Oval Office is ugly and gaudy now. So sad. :(

    RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.


    They won't release the files because the Biden admin had the chance to release them for 4 years and they're very damaging to democrats which makes perfect sense if you don't think about it.
    Any person on that list who has committed any crimes should be published and punished for the criminals that they are and it doesn't matter what party. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. It's the right thing to do. We don't protect pedophiles and rapists. 
    P.S. I don't think that you were suggesting they not release the files.
    Your assumption is correct; I'm 100% on board w/ holding anyone on that list accountable regardless of political affiliation. 

    Oliver's point about this administration's attitude towards sex trafficking and predators was spot on.

    Particularly when you can get hired as an ICE agent, not have to go to boot camp, get in shape or shave your head. Never mind a 3-4 year commitment or going overseas to fight in a war. Just have to get up early so you can snatch people out in front of a Home Depot at 7:00 a.m. Granted, getting up that early might be a challenge for some.

    Would like to see availability of guns in the other countries and compare the homicide type, knife, firearm etc and see if there is something specific to America that causes us to have a higher homicide rate than places like bogota.  I’m guessing guns may play a factor here.

    being homeless is not a crime,

    raping children is.

    release the fucking epstein files now.
