Considering 93% of DC residents voted for Harris this can be interpreted that support for Trump in DC is growing.

It’s just as likely that it’s crime fighting unicorns.

Democrats had better listen up.

I live in DC. This just isn't realistic, and honestly, when those types of events happen, the perps are ALWAYS from Maryland.

Feels like a Maryland problem, not a DC problem.

DP. I also live in DC. Agree lots of perps from MD. But crimes in DC are a DC issue

Yeah, I mean, they happen here... but if a bunch of 15 year olds from PG County come into DC to carjack, and you're serious about rooting the problem out, it feels like you should start in Maryland.

But don’t you have to take action where the crime happens? Can’t really go through PG rounding up suspicious acting 15yr olds

LOL. Only bring reported by MAGA outlets because normal media doesn’t believe the police union leader’s facts. He’s lied under oath, has a DUI, and falsified records for a grand jury. He bilked the city over overtime, and was censured for it, which he acknowledged under oath.

ZERO murders last week.

When has that happened before?

This is very much in line with DC voter registration. 92% registered Democrat in the '24 primary.

No surprises here.

Many times, including multiple weeks this year.

But this is the first time this summer when schools are closed. So that’s noteworthy.

A 13 point divergence is in line? That’s some DC math right there.

These are the same folks who kept voting for Marion Barry and Muriel Bowser. As for the rest of the country—49.8% at least, according to the 2024 popular vote—we’re pretty much done worrying about their feelings. It was time to take over this mess, and Trump is delivering exactly what we voted for.

Can’t wait to see your minds explode when he does it to the other liberal shitholes.

I don’t have any other place to admit this - but I’m glad. My car was broken into twice while I was in NOMA. I took a trip to the target in Ivy city and I don’t see the crazy homeless man on the corner who was biting at the wind. If you know you know. I can actually walk to my Whole Foods off P street and not deal with panhandling or men passed out on the street. I hope this enforcement sticks around because the quality of life means more to me than anything. I’ll never admit this to my friends/neighbors but I’m secretly happy they are here.

💯!!!

Finally feel safe walking the streets of our nation’s capital with hundreds of thousands in camera gear without constantly looking over my shoulder. I’ve got my ‘papers,’ I’m completely legal, and have nothing to worry about—others? Apparently not so much.

As a photojournalist, I’ve felt more at ease walking the streets of Baghdad or Djibouti than I have here in recent years.

But please, DC mommy crowd, go ahead and tell us again how oppressed you—and these criminals—feel.

FFS. The drama. Making up utter nonsense. But we know that you’re a MAGA because that’s exactly what the felon said: “DC is worse than Baghdad.”

There’s a pic of slums of Baghdad in the other thread, and it’s nothing like DC. But, you knew that before a geriatic swindler with dementia co-opted your frontal lobe.

P.S. I’d love to see your photos of Baghdad sunshine and daisies and unicorns, so feel free to post a link to your portfolio.

If you actually step outside this echo chamber and follow national and even international media, I guarantee you’ve already seen them.

Chances are, you’ve seen plenty of my DC photos too—especially from the past few weeks.

+ 1. The rich hysterical liberals of AU Park and the DSA stormtroopers of Tacoma are completely misreading the room here. Many in Wards 7 and 8 have been calling for federal intervention for years.
