    DC Police are under the control of the civilian side of the city, presided over by Mayor Muriel Bowser. How the fuck are they just being turned into the Trump admin’s henchmen? They have no business handling federal affairs.

      because all cops are inherently right wing thugs, who have been longing for the day they can put on the brown shits and jack boots.

      DC is fully funded by congress and the GOP has threatened to defund the city. It’s easy to criticize that from afar but going against Trump would mean a lot of pain and a lot of deaths.

      DC needs statehood.

          And the folks with medical devices that require power like respirators or CPAPs? When city power is shut off they should just die?

          City infrastructure is incredibly important and DC is in a uniquely vulnerable position.

        It’s a woman, and she’s a Dem mayor. That’s what has me confused. DC the city is not a GOP-friendly place. It’s a separate entity from the federal properties such as Congress and the White House.
