re: Over ONE THOUSAND arrests have been made in DC since President Trump’s crackdown began

You know that DC is governed by the mayor and city council. The POTUS does not oversee municipal services in DC . Federal law grants Congress ultimate authority over the District, which can be exercised to override local decisions. Section 740 of the Home Rule Act gives the president the ability to use D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department for "federal purposes" that the president "may deem necessary and appropriate."
Did you feel then need to get Chat GPT to say the exact same thing I said in one sentence?

Is the occurrence of any crime at all indication that the local authorities are refusing to their jobs?
We'll find out.
Again, that's what I think this is all about. This is a political move designed to show the American people how they could be living if they would stop voting in Democratic mayors and governors.
If they really do clean up D.C. to some significant degree I think you'd have a hard time arguing that we can't be doing better than we are.
Especially since the idiot media responded to this initially by rushing to claim that crime wasn't really bad in D.C. If they end up after three, six, nine months being able to show a big Before and After difference using hard numbers, it's going to be compelling IMO.

Do you claim to be MAGA or America First while delighting in the thought of Americans suffering because you like Trump more than them?
I don't know about y'all, but I don't lose a minute of sleep over liberal voters getting precisely what they've asked for when they go to the polls and affirm with their votes that they want lawless, urban shitholes that only the Democrat Party can and have delivered for the last 60 years.

No? Are you upset that I didn't editorialize facts?
Weird accusation for 3 short sentences.

It was a weird response? Are you trying to make the case that Trump’s deployment of troops to DC is somehow unconstitutional?

First, so I’m not misconstrued, I’m in support of cleaning up DC, but have we seen any comparable data on how many arrests are made in DC over this span of time, pre-National Guard? It’s hard to measure a genuine improvement without an understanding of how much a ramp-up this really is.

My response was weird?
I responded with the provision that allows the POTUS to federalize local DCPD, likely for use in motorcades, not to enable the POTUS to meddle in municipal affairs.

The Constitution isn't what enables the POTUS to mobilize the DC PD.

Sad, the real issue is simply enforcing the laws and prosecuting, something the left under Obama and Soros destroyed - IE common sense.
So many inner city people have been duped with false narrative police violence movement.
There are certainly bad cops and they need t be dealt with, but the rule of la is the rule of law. The anarchists that follow Soros who hate the USA because of the rule of law simply sought to undermine it with feelings and victimhood.
Hopefully we can turn the ship.

Federal control of municipalities = residents best interest.
The federal government knows what's best for Americans. But only when Trump is leading it? Or was this your position last year, too?

I'm curious about the criteria used to determine which cities warrant a hostile military takeover.
What criteria do you use to call having National Guard members assisting local and federal law enforcement “a hostile military takeover”?

it's a federal district governed by a mayor and city council.

The fact that they were uninvited by local government.

Most, if not all, will quickly revert back to how they had been because the underlying problem of generationally passing down and communally reinforcing poor life choices can't be addressed by some sort of stronger short-term policing.
Any port in a storm though...

What kind of district?
I'm not aware of any credible authorities claiming that the head of the Executive Branch doesn't have the authority to do what Trump is doing in D.C.
I'll be happy to read a link if you have one. Credible authority. Not someone on the View or Racheal Maddow or someone with no legal background.

George Wallace damn sure didn't invite the NG to Alabama in enforce desegregation.
Was that a hostile military takeover?

They are there because the local government failed so abysmally that they had to resort to lying about their crime statistics just to be moved down the list of most violent and murdery cities in the US (still not falling out of the Top 20).
