[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]

+1.  This is the nation's capital, not some podunk city in the middle of nowhere.  There needs to be a limit to how far the Council can drive this place into the ground.   If other nations have to warn their citizens about traveling to the capital of the United States because of rampant carjackings and armed robberies in the daytime, then it is absolutely an issue for Congress to address.  If it falls on House Republicans to be the adults in the room, so be it. [/quote]

Other nations have to warn their citizens about traveling TO THE WHOLE USA because the House Republicans (and the Senate Republicans) refuse to address the issue of gun violence. [/quote]

Dumb comment. I’m pro weapon reform but the majority of safety related crimes (car jacking, robbery, gang shootouts) have nothing to do with guns that would be banned under assault weapon bans. It’s by and large inner city people using semi automatic handguns. Gun reform is more so needed addresses school shootings, Las Vegas concert shooting type event, etc. Most of the crime in America’s cities stems from broken homes, single parent hood, lack of punishment / consequences / criminal justice, among others.[/quote]
