[Anonymous]

The trip comes after the city recorded its 249th homicide for the year, the highest number of homicides since 2003. Homicides alone have spiked by 35% so far this year when compared to the same period in 2022, police data published Nov. 22 show.

Violent crime across the board has increased by 40% this year when compared to the same time last year.

Whenever a local politician is focusing on an international problem, it’s a guarantee that city services will decline.

Good thing there isn't a super bowl with a pending snowpocalypse.


The bigger issue are her decisions that undercut helping to deal with the climate crisis, particularly in transportation.

Why does she need to go to Dubai for a climate conference? Is it designed for for American cities' mayors?

Congratulations. This is what DC voted for.

Who was running for mayor in the last election that you think would have been better on crime?

Don’t complain if you continue to elect these fools.

Nothing says "I care about climate change" like taking a business class junket to Dubai.

Shouldn't Bowser stay home and focus on addressing the impact of her misguided "Crime for all" policies?

Can anyone tell me whether flying in a 747 halfway around the world for a trip lasting only a couple days is a good way or a bad way to fight climate change?

Maybe just Zoom this one?

This is a dumb thread, OP. Political leaders need to focus on multiple issues.

Yes, if you're Joe Biden (who is staying home to focus on other pressing issues). No, if you're Bowser. She needs to focus on crime, crime, crime and education in DC. Her foreign policy portfolio should be limited to ensuring reciprocity with MD and VA to collect DC parking tickets.

Maybe she’s running a policy panel on how to encourage car theft and random acts of violence.

Not a city mayor. Her job is running the city and she’s failing at it.
