Enjoying DC Council get dragged on the Hill

But congrats to Charles Allen and his fellow Council dimwits for not reading the room and putting their national party and national party leader in an unwelcome predicament.

The only thing that will prevent the DC Council from getting voted down in the Senate is if Schumer doesn’t call a vote.

Anyway, I hope they learn their lesson. And DC voters, can we get some normal people elected? Ideally who are no quite so corrupt and self-interested.

And for goodness sake no more carpetbaggers please (Nadeau and Allen are awful, we have much better candidates who grew up in the Wards 1 and 6.

I like you, OP. I agree.

Senate procedural rules allow any single member to bring this up for a vote. Schumer can't block it.

The number of Democrats who supported this vote also suggests that the crime rule will easily be blocked via rider if thus first attempt fails.

It wasn’t meaningless to Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig.

I am quite happy to see the Council’s arrogance and hubris get checked and it needed to be.

Arrogance and hubris? For performing their duty as elected representatives. Not sure what -ism motivates your insane statements, but suffice to say that you have issues dear friend.

Its the council's duty to turn the city over to lawlessness? Its the council's duty to dilute the votes of citizens?

Voter's didn't force the council into this foolishness. This entirely the council getting high on its own supply.

This is how representative democracy works. Voters vote for representatives, representatives do things. If the voters don't like the things the representatives do, then at the next election, the voters can vote for different representatives. You're just upset that the majority of voters vote for representatives who do things you don't like.

And this is how the Constitution works. Congress gets oversight over DC because its too important to let the locals run it into the ground. If DC residents don't like it, they can call a new constitutional convention. You're just upset the founders set up DC to have adult supervision.

Congratulations. On a thread of horrible takes yours is the worst.

Maybe if the council wasn’t pushing dumbfk super lenient progressive woke criminal justice reform that endangers law abiding citizens congress wouldn’t need to slap them down. And this is coming from a liberal.

You oppose the RCCA. What do you and the other opponents have against sexual assault victims that you want to weaken penalties imposed upon their attackers?

+1. Those House Democrats hailed from 17 different states including the normally reliable CA, NY, OR, and WA. What a disaster. Never thought we’d see a day when Trayon was the voice of reason on the council.

The morons elected by DC are emblematic of the people they represent and I am thrilled it will help keep DC as it is. Thank you far left loons!

DP. I am sure that gay Congressmember and recent violent crime victim Angie Craig doesn’t care about your petty insults.

“Colonialism”. Listen to yourselves. You Council morons are completely divorced from your electorate. You wouldn’t know colonialism if it sang “You’ll be back” at you.

Agreed. And take the Council carpetbaggers with you.

I have never been so happy with the outcome of a GOP proposed vote. I never thought I would be and yet here we are — I really have come to despise our careless and self-serving Council.

I would expect a reasonable, educated one of them, Pinto?, to come out and admit some of their mistakes. And not attack a bipartisan vote as “colonial”. Are these people secretly educated in foreign regimes’ indoctrination seminars? This is the language of the old USSR and China CP and North Korea. Who are these people?!

And no I won’t move. I’ll keep voting and I guess you’d say “agitating” using your oppressive regimes’ word book until you are all gone from the government and have to find a job. Good luck.
