      I hear you, but also:
      Literal Dictator shit happening here. This is worth paying attention to.

      If Trump starts ordering the military to shoot you and your family I doubt you’d appreciate people saying “but what about the Epstein Files?”

      The Epstein Files aren’t news. They aren’t going to change anyone’s opinion. They are the distraction here.

    That’s just his way of saying “Stop talking about the Epstein files!”

    Of course he will. This is just a the lithmus test to see how far he can push the envelope and seeing what new laws need to be instituted or changed to get his desired outcome. If he doesn’t get much push back from DC, he’ll move on to a larger city, new state. Not New York or California, too big, too soon. But maybe something smaller like New Mexico, where you can add on the border as an issue. I’m not familiar with New Mexico any of their cities having immigration problems? You’re hardly ever hear anything about New Mexico, they must be pretty chill down there.

    And I understand a DC provides certain specific powers that he doesn’t have in other states.They’ve already overturned a few of his decisions, but it doesn’t seem to slow him I’m down much anyway. So I got a feeling they’re only going to keep escalating.

      Depending on how that mayoral race turns out he just gearing up to take control of NYC. Hell I bet it’s one of his wet dreams to rule that city.

    Ah, so laying clear obvious groundwork for martial law. I can’t wait for another slew of news articles somehow soft-balling this whole issue.

    So military control of blue states is normal now? Might be time to stand up against this 🤔

        Sitting at home disapproving doesn’t change anything. Americans have to get off their couch and get in the streets.

      After over 180 homicides in DC alone last year, should we keep letting people commit violent crime or should something be done about the lawlessness? Criminals have no fear, they have freedom in a revolving door of a “justice system.”

      “Washington D.C. is not a state; it is a federal district, officially the District of Columbia. Its creation and governance are directly established by the U.S. Constitution, which designates it as the seat of the United States government.”

        Correct, but I was hypothesizing that when they try to do the same things in other cities as suggested in other comments, all the people that were vocal about state;s rights on other topics will likely be silent.
