12 pages in and not one single Republican has been able to answer basic questions about this new fascist policy.
At what point does "crime" merit a declaration of a public emergency, the unprecedented seizure of local law enforcement and use of the military to establish domestic order? In what way does overall crime in D.C. rise to level of a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or out-of-control ongoing riots? What, specifically, needs to happen for this "emergency" to be lifted? Why has this only become an emergency NOW? Even if the crime numbers (which are at 30-year low) are "fake," there has not been any sudden, dramatic increase in crime. It's just a whim! Based on the rationale currently being provided, there is nothing that could prevent this from being used in any city, anywhere.
You guys can't talk about any of this! It's just "well...what about the crime? what about the blacks?" That's not the point! This has no basis in law. It has no compelling justification whatsoever. You sad sacks have completely dispensed with that old "well, I don't agree with everything Trump says but..." or "well, maybe he went a little too far in this case... " No. You completely back him on everything, immediately, unquestioningly, no matter what. It's really something. Still waiting on those Epstein files you all said he was going to release!
