[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me remind everyone.  In 2022, Ward 3 had a Dem primary candidate, Eric Goulet, who had a much tougher stance on crime than Frumin.   Goulet was pilloried by the progressives as being "Republican-lite" and a racist.    Ward 1 had a Dem primary candidate---Salah Czapary---who was a former cop who said publicly and often what then-Chief Robert Contee has also said often, i.e., the 700 or so violent gun-wielding adult and juvenile criminals in the District are well known to police, and they should be locked up appropriately (so for juveniles that means juvie, not adult jail).  Brianne Nadeau's progressive henchpeople discovered that Czapary had a campaign staffer whose father---not him---had worked for Trump, and they papered Ward 1 with signs alleging that the gay son of immigrants was a secret Trumper.  We would be much better off vis a vis the Council and crime if Czapary and Goulet would have won their respective primaries.  They would be backing the Mayor on doing more to fight crime, not voting for Charles Allen's crazy crap policies, and also pressuring Schwalb and the Feds to actually prosecute criminals.   The police would not be as demoralized as they now are---which is the other troubling aspect to all of this,    Voting matters and we, the citizens of Wards 1 and 3, royally screwed up our chances to improve things when we had the opportunity.[/quote]

THANK YOU. Every candidate who saw the writing on the wall re: crime was attacked as a pseudo-Trumper. And now you’re all freaking out about the increase in crime. I really hope people don’t forget this the next time around.[/quote]

This should put the final nail in the coffin for home rule and statehood.  Clearly the populace of the District of Columbia cannot be trusted to elect their own officials.  DC has an extremely poorly run school system, has elected officials who have enacted terrible policies that have caused the rise in violent crime while the majority of like size and larger cities are stable or decreasing, they are not even collecting ticket revenue when they should.  The city council used to be weak but at least effective.  Over the last 6-8 years, the council has gotten progressively worse and enacted more and more policies based on ideology rather than with any intent to strengthen the city.

Someone needs to fix the issues and clearly the residents of the district want people who favor political ideology rather than results.  They have turned the National Capitol into the Capitol of Crime.[/quote]

Nice try. Congress can barely control themselves on the floor of the House; they certainly are not going to be able to run a city (not do they actually care to).[/quote]
