Any congressmen can do better than Bowser and the DC Council. The bar is so low.

+1. It is because MAGA doesn’t actually have the skills or possibly even the goal of actually achieving policy goals. They just want to “torture” and p0wn the libs.


Given the current crime stats, Democrats don't have the skills to fix DC's problems either.


crime rates have come down considerably … and please LMK how all the Congressmen from Flyover states are going to improve trash collection, parks and pools?


Murder rates coming down from 30 year record highs is not a flex.

I don't know how those flyover congressmen will fix the trash and pools but Muriel and the merry band of idiots on the DC council arent doing much better. Try out Congressman Flyover. They probably have better trash pick up.

Homelessness and crime are problems nationwide, not just in DC. Why do you think an authoritarian can deal with it any better than anyone else?

there are over a million 311 calls made each year. I hope they all end up at Jim Jordan's desk.


There would be a lot less calls if DC filled the potholes, empty trash cans, and picked up the leaves.


My trash and leaves get picked up fine and DDOT does a pothole blitz every spring. I can call to get my bulk trash picked up for free within a week. I’d love to know what Congress’s idea is to improve public works lol.

It makes sense because of things like this:

"Several FBI investigations in DC under Mayor Muriel Bowser's administration"

That is the Bowser's clique in action. Corruption and more corruption.

End of having a Mayor?

He cited crime and homeless encampments.


He must have seen that video of the poor guy on Metro getting the coat ripped off his back in broad daylight. Stunning.

I'm basically 100% against the Trump agenda and I'm okay with this. We tried home rule and we effing suck at it.

This is not just bad, it's ridiculous.

Maybe this is not a bad thing. D.C. has had bad leadership for decades.


The federal government is already in charge of "all things crime" in DC. Now that you know that, what is your argument?


That the federal government should start enforcing it. If they do nothing else but stop young boys and men in DC from killing and maiming each other that would be a win. What DC is doing isn't working. In 2023 the murder rate was as high as it's been in almost 30 years.


They could do that nationwide, why focus just on DC? There are loits of tactics to use to achieve this, but Trump is defunding them and firing the people who deal with it.


Because DC is in their faces every day. Why wouldn't they start in the town they work in?

His homeless encampment talking point drives me bonkers. They’re all on property that you think you’re the king of! Clear them out!

I’d love for the city to get the crime under control, but this party is going to muck everything up if they take over.

Not sure if it is a good idea, but better than current DC government. The crime in DC is terrible.

That's up to the DC voters. And I think she is better than lots of places like nyc?
