I agree. I can't follow all the propaganda mailer attack ads. But getting under Trump's skin is 100% a good sign.

People will blame you for putting Trump in charge.

Alternatively, we can just do whatever he wants because we're afraid of his empty threats. Great plan. Very bold of you.

Doesn’t matter directly or indirectly.

JLG’s economic policies will drive us back into federal receivership.

So either way it happens.

Yeah, I'm no Bowser fan, but she's handled Trump with aplomb. It could have been a lot worse. I do not want a mayor who's going to piss him off.

If McDuffie is the MAGA choice, then fine.

McDuffie is definitely not MAGA. This is not an endorsement of him but we cannot play into Trump's BS by framing our local politics in this way.

I understand that. However, I'm not voting for JLG because Trump hates her. I'm saying if that makes someone "MAGA" then oh well. We don't have an actual MAGA candidate.

Also, I think you play into MAGA by saying you're switching your vote because of Trump. Being tough on Trump isn't a platform. Dems have to do better.

Go President Trump!!

Yes, we’d very much like him to go.

Just a reminder that an act of Congress is necessary to revoke Home Rule, and the vote would need to be filibuster proof to pass.

This is idiotic. Mayor Trump is going to make your life miserable. You aren't getting under anyone's skin.

+1. There are no adults in the room this time so it would just be the most spiteful governing imaginable.

Sigh.

I think Trump could try to take over no matter who wins.

Trump said the Kennedy Center was renamed to include him; but it isn’t anymore. He says the Straight of Hormuz is open and toll-free. Or not. Or yes, or no. Or open, or closed.

Who gives a shyt what that narcissistic, bloated, cracked leather duffel bag says.

Maybe going back to control board will set us up to be a state when things finally swing.

Best POTUS in 50 years.
