[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not GOP. Dislike the Retrumplicans. But honestly I enjoyed watching the squirming. DC Council deserves the dragging. The Mayor vetoed their idiotic bill, but the arrogance and the hubris…

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. [/quote]

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

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

No, Congress gets oversight over DC because the writers of the Constitution didn't envision a city that people would live in, pay taxes in, and expect representation in. I don't blame them for not having a crystal ball. I do blame hypocritical Republican representatives from random states a long way from DC who believe it's somehow appropriate for them to tell the government of DC, duly elected by the voters of DC, how they do or do not get to spend DC tax money. Indefensible hypocrisy, no matter how much they try to dress it up.[/quote]

+1 I heard some jacka$$ congressman from Georgia on the radio today say that the streets of DC are so filled with criminals that he is afraid to be on them. I don't think HE has ever been on them in the first place! And I am NOT for the current version to reform the criminal code, but how dare these hayseeds blow into town and decide what we do?

Could we just let the residents of DC not pay federal taxes if we have to put up with this??[/quote]

How dare one group of hayseeds who blew into town tell another group of hayseeds who blew into town how to run DC? What do you think the council would look like if you had to live here 10 years before voting? Had to be born here? [/quote]

What in the world? [/quote]
