I deny you the right to put words in my mouth.

    If crime was going crazy in D.C. the GOP would be all over it in a flash and the local and national press would be monetizing the info. All this is a stunt to deflect from whatever is bothering the big orange dummy at the moment.

      It is, in part, a distraction, from (particularly) discussion of the Epstein files, but the one thing the Trump regime is efficient with is using elements of their real authoritarian agenda as their distractions when they need one. So, sure, DC is a distraction, but its also a part of a fairly overt broad campaign against the homeless (not against homelessness as a social condition, against homeless people as subhuman enemies), that is itself tied into the national campaign of ethnic cleansing and the national campaign against the mentally ill (again, not against mental illness), and the DC operation is also part of the progressive militarization of civilian law enforcement. If this sounds like things that occur together in fascist regimes, well, there's a reason for that.

    For what it's worth, I agree with both of your statements.

    Let's go the obvious one step further so we have the integrity and unambiguity for which this situation calls: The use of US military troops on the civilian mainland of the United States in peacetime situation is wrong. Also, war has not been declared by Congress regarding the situation in the District of Columbia.
