Trump says he'll revoke home rule if JLG is elected

I'd rather see a fed takeover than the policies that crowd is going to try to impose in terms of out of control spending, tax hikes, no understanding of basic business economics and extremely soft-on-crime policies. It was the control board in the 1990s that produced us Tony Williams, who was the best mayor that DC has had. The key difference though, is that the Control Board occurred during the Clinton Administration and the appointed Control Board was highly qualified. I don't have much faith in the ability of the Trump administration to appoint anyone qualified to deal with the District. We are screwed either way.

Either way

I think the Knicks turned NYC around.

Mamdani is a feel good politician (for many) who hopefully will be a good mayor. Remains to be seen.

DCUM is so closeted right wing and racist. But guess what? You’re in the minority in DC. Thank God for that.

From the Post:

“As of Thursday, Lewis George was leading in seven of the city’s eight wards — all except Ward 3, the city’s Whitest and wealthiest one.
Lewis George performed best in D.C.’s younger precincts, winning by a wide margin across polling sites where more than 60 percent of the population is less than 35 years old, according to a Washington Post analysis of election and Census Bureau data as of Thursday. McDuffie eked out a win — by about four points — in precincts with an older population, the analysis showed.”

Just further proof that DCUM is not DC.

Honestly I’d rather live in an actual police state rather than one run by 12 year old people car jacking and murdering people and robbing people. 🤷

Thankfully, we don't live in that state now, so you don't need the police state.

Well, we’re talking about the future…but also https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/12-year-old-arrested-armed-carjacking/65-08fc1f1b-6760-441f-bb86-e2d53b4435a6

That was two years ago.

LOL two years is what … a long time? Because in my world two years doesn’t just make crime go away or change. It’s still happening. And just wait - school is out.

12 YEARS OLD!

1. Don't surrender in advance. Have you learned nothing since 2016?

2. Trump can barely stay awake for part of the day. He doesn't have the energy or interest to micromanage DC.

3. The House as possibly even the Senate will be Democrat or Democrat+moderate Republican majority in a few months.

I'd rather not live in a police state, with troops on every corner, and McDuffie is liberal too.

"I'd like the Nazis to not invade us so I think we'll appease them"

- Denmark, The Netherlands, England, France...etc

Cripes. Get a grip. The choice between McDuffie and JLG is a choice between a very liberal Democrat and an extremely liberal Democrat who will be sidelined by Trump.

These are our voting choices in the entire metro area and several counties out. Before the next person says, you voted for this. I voted for none of this.

DC needs to be taken over for the good of all.

You sound like the Iranian people. Well, guess what. It didn't work for them and some magical Trump fairy daddy isn't going to come and make things better here. He will just make things worse. His vision is for an America that only serves his interest. Don't wish him on us.

Democracy is how we got Trump. Is that a good thing?

Does anyone doubt that? MD and VA have exponentially more people here than DC and thus the DC contingent is much less representative of the area due to what a tiny slice of our city is represented on this board. Anyone who lives in DC and spends time on this board knows that it's much more about a suburban wealthy mentality than a DC mentality, wealthy or poor.

I know it's a tangent, but Trump's election has done more to make me question our particular version of democracy than anything else in history. Perhaps a parliamentary Democracy is a better option? I think our particular structures / information / education system is broken.

I would be shocked if most of the racist posts about DC are from people who live in DC. Extreme prejudice against DC by suburbanites in this region and neighboring regions has been a defining characteristic of the dynamic of our area since white flight happened.
