this meeting is basically a party for rich people. i think taylor swift is supposed to be there.

Maybe she’ll organize a group to paint “Black Lives Matter” on a Dubai street.

Sounds like she wanted a free trip to Dubai, duh

Who was running for mayor in the last election that you think would have been better on crime?

Don’t complain if you continue to elect these fools.

she is the police union's favorite candidate.

Largely because everyone who has ever run against her is somehow even weaker on crime.

I can't stand Bowser and refused to vote for her in the last election. But I literally never think "If only Robert White were mayor, everything would be better." It wouldn't be.

I won't vote for Charles Allen either. But frustratingly, no one else stands up for these positions. It's an embarrassment in a city full of policy wonks that our local politicians are this terrible.

Violent crime across the board has increased by 40% this year when compared to the same time last year.

She’s on a junket paid by taxpayers.

What local mayor needs to go abroad for any kind of conference? What a scam.

probably to get us a new football stadium with our tax dollars?

Remember, it's your taxpayer dollars that paid for her nice vacation.

And you can be sure she didn’t fly there in seat 37E.

Right?

Or, maybe she just wants to go shopping.

Muriel "Crime for All!" Bowser is a joke. But the joke isn't funny for DC residents.

Yes, if you're Joe Biden (who is staying home to focus on other pressing issues). No, if you're Bowser. She needs to focus on crime, crime, crime and education in DC. Her foreign policy portfolio should be limited to ensuring reciprocity with MD and VA to collect DC parking tickets.

But she can't even get that done.

National politicians can fck around on these boondoggles and no one will miss them. When a city leader does this, the real part of the job suffers.

Bowser cares more about her next job than effectively running the city.

No, the thread isn’t dumb at all, and that’s a really weird take. The mayor and whoever advised her to go to this conference are dumb.
