It’s fine if you didn’t agree with BLM plaza. But that was DCs decision. This is about the federal government imposing their will on DC. So now you are OK with federal overreach?


Republicans generally aren't familiar with the concept of "consent'.


Apparently, Democrats aren't familiar with the Constitution. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to “exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever” over the District.

You’re aware that the Constitution mandates DC is under federal jurisdiction, yes? I don’t care one way or another about the Charlie Kirk renaming, but it gets old when DC residents pretend they’re somehow not a federal jurisdiction.


You're aware that Republicans once believed local governments knew best and the federal government should stay out of their business, yes? It gets old when Republicans remind us time and time again that they have no principles beyond exerting power over those they don't like.


Do you live in DC? I'm afraid you really didn't do your due diligence if you think DC isn't under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Of course the federal government should stay out of states' business. DC is not a state, for the millionth time.

Ok, buddy.



So, what you’re saying is, if I’m to understand you correctly, is that your fellow liberals will literally smear a street sign with their own feces?

And this is something that you boast about?



Ok, seriously - have you given ANY thought to how something like that sounds to us normies? People like you are literally shoving people like me to “the right”. I don’t want to be associated with people like you.



I agree that this sounds bonkers, but I also don't think I'd decide who to vote for because someone said something stupid on an anonymous local message board.


DP. The point is that this is how MANY “liberals” think. If they don’t like something (or someone), then it’s perfectly ok to deface, destroy, damage, etc. And we see examples of this all the time, so please don’t pretend otherwise.


Is that what FoxNews is telling you?



I don't watch Fox News. You really need to come up with something more original.

DP. Your perspective is highly skewed. You're confusing the actions of small groups of extremists with the majority view on the left. Most of that extremism doesn't even have anything to do with mainstream Dem views.

Congratulations on missing the point in spectacular fashion. You are either incredibly dumb or very convincingly pretending to be.

The District is a sovereign nation! Or would like to be.

DP. What is your point? DC is a federal district. It can’t just do what it wants. Even any “home rule” is very new relative to DC’s entire history.

Reread it again, very slowly. Take your time! Sometimes, saying it out loud helps with comprehension. I'll even give you a hint: DC's status as a federal district is completely irrelevant!

Ugh, stop trying to make Charlie Kirk happen. No one cares that he’s dead. It’s looking more and more like it was a planned hit and his power hungry Serena Joy wife had something to do with it. Find a better martyr.

Of course it’s relevant. The “local government” in question is a federal district. It doesn’t have full local control for that reason.

The local government here is statutorily-devolved federal power to DC. Whether it's a federal district is irrelevant. Republicans used to believe that local governments knew how to best deal and federal government meddling in local affairs was deeply unfair and an overreach of state power. Turns out it was all intellectual windowdressing and Republicans just want to needle people they don't like. Actually, we knew that a long time ago, but this just another piece to throw on the mountain of evidence that Republicans have no principles beyond the pursuit of power for its own sake.

The “patriot” inclusion is most galling since he sent a busload of people to the 1/6 insurrection. People may like him, but he certainly wasn’t a patriot.

I don’t think it resembled AI but it’s very sus that they’re letting him attend hearings by Zoom with camera off. They have no idea if he’s there listening.

People like David Duke. We don't need a street named after him.
