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. |
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. |
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. |
Here's my original post.
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. |
How about the NRA Building? |
Fun article in Politico today. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146 |
| 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. |
