Marion Barry all over again. Amazing.



Nope. Barry never took a bribe. Not once.

DC residents re- elected Marion Barry after serving federsl drug conviction and jail time.

(Maybe that made him more relatable to his constituents).


Ah no. First, Marion Barry never enriched himself. Secondly, before the drugs, he did a lot for the city.



This is 100% true.

Barry wasn’t a crook. When he died, he didn’t even have enough cash in the bank to buy a coffin to get buried in.

The news anchor Bruce Johnson from Channel 9 in DC bought Barry’s casket out of sympathy. But also because he knew him from decades of covering him, and knew Barry had his flaws, but he wasn’t corrupt and never took bribes.

I’m indifferent to football, but I DO recognize the importance of a team for a city.

I think it would be absolutely hilarious and fitting if the team moved to another city altogether because the of DC council interference with the deal Bowser negotiated.

The DC council would literally be responsible for DC losing its NFL team to someplace like Orlando or Louisville or Memphis.

That would be epic.

Voters could see right thru the "convicted felon" BS especially since the judge was a documented Biden campaign donor.
How did that politically motivated hack job work out for you btw?


Our host is still spewing that stupid lie to this very day.


Because he’s a tiny, tiny, angry little fellow, in every sense of the word.

Exactly. Where’s all the due process people screeching about a human smuggler getting deported? Due process for Kilmar but not for Trayon?


F that.

He bought his wife Effi a fur coat with city funds.

Then he went on a city-funded vacation (er, “work trip” ??) to the Caribbean. Only, he said he needed to take “security” along for his personal protection. So he brought THIRTY (30) “personal bodyguards” - who were in reality just his family members and friends, who had nothing to do with security.

Yeah - DC taxpayers paid for that.

The DCPS, meanwhile . . .

Biden's son brought drugs into the White House, bribed Russian officials and was pardoned.

This is where this country is now.


If Trump hadn't been reelected, Ward 8 would have made a different choice?


Sure. Same as Storm Thurmond, who was an ardent racist and put forth policies that hurt African Americans while he was in Senate (yet Strom has a hidden black daughter, whom he paid for her college and wedding).

See how this works? Rules for thee but not them.

In any case, if that's what the people want allow them that. The county wanted Trump and how's that working out for them now?


Working out great unless you are an illegal.

Ward 8 is an embarrassment.

Also, we need ranked choice voting.
