You are an absolute clown. Do you have the slightest idea which agency would have been responsible for prosecuting the person in question? Do you have the slightest idea who that agency reports to?

So what you’re saying is that the colonizers need to be tougher on maintaining law and order in their colony?

Of course that's the only possibility in your extremely simple mind. God forbid DC be permitted a criminal justice system that seems to suffice for every other place in the country.

Notwithstanding the multitude of serious national problems facing the country, the House finds the time to pass a resolution to “protect the integrity” of US citizenship in DC. None of them seem to be able to explain, however, how this is achieved by overturning a near-unanimous resolution passed by the elected representatives of the citizens of DC and, in the process, not allowing a single elected representative of the citizens of DC to even vote on the matter.. Perhaps if they were interested in upholding the value of citizenship here, they would honor the right of US citizens living in DC to decide who gets to vote in their own local elections and to extend to those citizens a representative who can vote in Congress. As things stand, Congress hardly neefeto worry about a broadening of the franchise undermining the value of holding US citizenship in DC since it seems to be fairly cheap already. But silly for me wanting House resolutions to make an iota of sense.

In general, I love all the dimwits who start the sentence with “so you believe [something totally unrelated to anything PP said]” so they can then attack the PP for something absurd, patently untrue and reductionist [being a baby-hater]

True 😂

Please don’t dissuade them from more “I’m being colonized, moron” posts. They make me laugh.

No better explication for why DC cannot have statehood than the fact that as administrators of the Federal city they cannot or refuse to keep Federal officials safe.

Being a clown would more so taking a joking approach toward crime which is what you seem to want. It’s clear that progressive prosecutors pushing progressive criminal justice policies are taking a more lenient approach. Judges aren’t sentencing as harshly. The youth Rehabiliation act shielding violent criminals up till age 26. The second chance act getting people out earlier. Then you have the progressive city council pushing reductions in punishment for car jackings in the criminal code reform at a time of super high car jacking. The same council appropriates millions of our money for “violence interruptors” rather than actual policing. You know that no study conclusively proves they do anything. Might as well wipe your azz with the waste. But oh cool man…John legend is a big proponent of criminal justice reform so it must be working. I mean CVS’s are closing left and right as people walk in an take things without issue, but I mean, all the yard signs show how much you care. Even if these policies make marginalized communities less safe.

I swear that Nadeau is working for the Republicans. She absolutely trashed any chance we had at statehood.

Needless to say, he’s lost my vote and I think Council are behaving like dangerously spoiled brats out for themselves. I don’t like this Congress any more than the next guy, but I’m grateful that they’re saving us from the Nadeau and Allen fever dreams.

I spent the first week of February defending our local democracy from Congressional interference. While the Republican-led House of Representatives is attempting to overturn DC legislation, the Council has said with a unified voice that Congress must keep its hands off DC.

If you are favor of colonialism when the outcome aligns with their policy priors, then you do not believe in the principle of representative democracy.

Colonialism lol. I find the sensationalist prose adopted by so many folks in the last few years to be so over the top. Yeah, dude. You must be like so oppressed.

I’m surprised you take issue with that word. You sound like the kind of person who runs around claiming that colonialism was actually a good thing for the colonized peoples.

In any case, anyone who cheers the intervention of the House in DC local affairs and presents to be a fan of democracy is deeply confused.

Moving to the District, paying $3k/month for your studio, and complaining about colonialism is pretty sad.
