Wait, so people really think a criminal in the White House is going do "do something" about crime (other than commit more of it)?

I hear that Sotomayor is now a pro-gun activist.

I mean, they are likely coming from lower cost of living areas and won't be able to buy or rent in DC or the close in suburbs, they won;t want to take the metro in and they sure as heck won;t want to live amongst people who don't look at talk like them.


The last time they all lived at the wharf -- SW waterfront, in the new(er) condos.

Crime is UP compared to two years ago, nevermind five, nevermind ten. It is down relative to 2023 only, the worst year for crime in 24 years. Stop with this nonsense obsfucation.

+1. Control Board 1.0 gave us Tony Williams, who was a great mayor. Only concern is who the MAGAts would stack it with but honestly at this point I am okay with a much tougher stance on crime and some accountability on how all the "SJW-industrial complex" $$ on all of these "wrap around services" and "violence interruptors" is spent.


Crime would be under control. The worker friendly laws would vanish. The tenant friendly laws would vanish.

Oh and actually do something with the large RFK site but the random senator Daines from Montana blocked that in committee (because he doesn't care one iota about the DC residents who live near that parcel of land).



You’re right. Let’s just keep going with the status quo.

Oh, wow, the OMG time bros have moved on from their glowing losses on the DC council and are now trying to portray DC residents as pro-Trump. Sure, ok. Totally believable.

LOL yeah ok. Trump with his long line of successful endeavors? Great, can't wait for DC to go the way of Trump's casinos, his "university", his travel site, his brand of steaks (?), and, oh yeah, let's add his 1-term presidency to the endless list of wins.

I don't oppose this in theory but it's laughable in practice. Anyone who thinks otherwise, I have some land to sell you.
