So if polling suggested the majority of DC residents supported the crackdown you would magically drop the cult BS and lose your TDS and get on board?
Of course not.
It is beyond laughable for a leftist to try to preach about principles.
How are you not humiliated by your transparent pvssyfooting around the basic questions that I have asked over and over about this federal takeover? I'm not going to respond to you again until you can at least attempt to justify this policy. Variations of "Dems are stupid" and "Crime is bad" are non-answers.
Watch me respond to your dumb*ss question. No, I would not support the federal government declaring a phony "emergency" to deploy the military in D.C. indefinitely just because some poll said people supported it.
If the people voted for it? If there were some specific, ongoing violent event(s) that called for it? If it were done at the request of or in consultation with the District/Local Police with clear guidance about the length and terms of the military deployment? If there were any indication of what, specifically, the military was supposed to be accomplishing? Then we'd be on more solid footing. But nope! All we've got is "Big Balls got mugged! Send in the troops to stop all crime! And do it in every blue city!" Pure fascism.
Now it's your turn. Last chance. Be a man and answer directly.
At what point, specifically, 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, what prevents this from being used in any city, anywhere, anytime Trump feels like it?
Adult in the Room is such a coward. He fits right in with Private Bone Spurs.

This is a great post. I reads like it was written by, I don't know, an adult.
But the self-described "adult" in the conversation won't address it. And not because he doesn't have time-- he seems to be on multiple threads at all hours of the day, under multiple handles, and he responds to any an all posts that he thinks provide an opportunity to call the libs stupid. But not this one, because it requires actual, grown-up civil engagement. There's nothing in this question that would require him agreeing or disagreeing with your politics. It's that straightforward. Yet, he can't handle it.

Must be somewhere in deep in Mexico. Along the border on both sides there is no singular soundtrack, troll.
On the border of Los Angeles and Orange County.
Sure, I grew up in Norwalk, troll. I went to Gahr High School, Cerritos College, and Long Beach State, and worked in East Long Beach and Seal Beach ... all of them along your imaginary language border. Guess what? English spoken everywhere, troll.

How could I possibly justify a policy that's popular, effective, and entirely constitutional.
Lol...
Federal law provides the president broad discretion to deploy the DC national guard for law enforcement functions.
It's 100% constitutional.
It's working.
You can whine and throw your little tantrums while you pretend you aren't just hysterical children with TDS... but the actual adults do not give the slightest f*ck about your ignorant feelings.
This "30 year low" comment the cult keeps repeating is just pure stupidity. 1. It's a blatant lie. 2. Even if if it was true DC still has rampant crime. 30 years ago DC was the murder capital of the US.
If your boyfriend weighed 600 pounds his whole life and then went on a diet and lost 10 pounds and you said his weight was at a "30 year low" do you think anyone would be fooled into thinking he didn't have a problem anymore?

Claiming you can walk around your town at 2am is not the brag you think it is. There isn't a city in the US I'd be afraid to walk around at night. I live in DC and am routinely out late at night. I haven't had a single issue in nearly half a decade.
Look at this genius...
I've never been murdered personally so there's no problem in DC!
I've never been carjacked personally so there's no problem in DC!

You were the one bragging about being able to walk around where you live at 2am. See how you're a hypocrite? Or are you not smart enough to understand that?

The DC National Guard is not subject to the Posse Comitatus Act.
Your outraged over something youre too lazy/stupid to even understand.
The National Guard can operate under 3 types of duty statuses.
1. As the militia of their state or territory.
2. As members of the federal armed forces when mobilized into federal service.
3. In a hybrid duty status under Title 32.
PCA only applies for federal service.
PCA does not apply to Title 32 status.
All the president needs to use Guard troops for Title 32 status is the consent of the governor.
There's no such requirement for the DC Guard because there is no governor.
What he's doing is 100% legal and 100% constitutional.
You are an idiot having an emotional meltdown over something you know nothing about because some other moron told you you were supposed to be upset.

People that actually live in DC disagree with you. Youre either lying or youre part of the problem.
And its not bragging to point out your town isnt a crime infested hell hole.
