uh oh trump did a gooder thing that neolibs have been screeching about from the moment it was announced. ill wait patiently for folks to remind me why crime is a good thing instead of acknowledging the fact that orange man did a thing that actually benefits regular every day people. i havent doomscrolled enough yet to see people calling the DC mayor an uncle tom by now for giving credit but im sure i will run across it soon enough.

https://crimecards.dc.gov/stolen%20autos:crimes/all:weapons/1:year%20to%20date/citywide:heat

Down 122 from last year to date (1.1.2024 - 29.08.2024) (1.1.2025-29.08.2525)
So the overall total from year to date isn't far off. 

I'm not sure that 80% is accurate.

But let me check 09.08.2024 - 29.08.2024 had 312 motor vehicle thefts.
Same date range a year later: 185
Which appears to be a 40% reduction. 

Still significant.  But that's to be expected since soldiers are patrolling.  Probably would have gotten the same results if you had that many cops patrolling.

But this prove it.  Trump should send soldiers to EVERY SINGLE TOWN AND CITY!
We need MARTIAL LAW!

Then crime will be 0.


That's how it works, right?

The conviction will get overturned on appeal.

yes the only possible reason someone might oppose flooding the streets of all our major cities with federal agents and national guard units is that they think crime is awesome. i certainly can't think of any others.

omg u guys i just had the absolute best idea. we should totally militarize our police forces and spend shitloads of money on police budgets. and then keep doing that more and more, year after year. i bet that will totally fix crime. why hasn't anybody ever thought of that before???

I think instead of increasing law enforcement we should defund the police and stop enforcing any form of border law. Now you might incorrectly interpret these beliefs as me thinking crime is awesome, but it totally isn't. I can reconcile these beliefs simply by stating that crimes should not exist. Haha. Owned.

Getting carjacked is just engaging in the local culture. If you don't like it, then you are a crimephobic bigot.

i love that you fucking idiots genuinely cannot conceive of any crime prevention strategies besides "full police state vs no police at all anywhere ever." yeah man those are totally the only two options. i'm opposed to a police surveillance state that spends infinity trillion dollars per nanonsecond "preventing" 5 carjackings per year, so it must be because i love crime or whatever. orange man bad tds whatever, cool.

also just to be clear: you do not give two shits about the crime rate in dc or chicago or la or whatever. that's an absolute bullshit lie that you and all the other little fascists put out there just to justify how badly you wanna see brownshirts everywhere. fuck you.

woah you need to cool down with the naziphobia, just because someone has a cultural preference for a police state doesn't mean you can get mad at them, it's called diversity, sweaty

massive surveillance systems are just part of my culture and if you have a problem with that then you're a fascistphobic bigot

til that i am a fascist and garygreen does not care about crime.

these two things are definitely accurate so i will just concede the point because we dont live in a world where nuance can be discussed. everything is as simple as orange man bad, which is what all the replies have been. maybe someday we can have actual discussions because the people who know me already know im far closer to dsa than i am maga or republican. rushy may clown on me for putting other needs before my own because he knows im generous and empathetic to my own self detriment.

THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER and have a blessed day.

hopefully we can find a way to smile and laugh again in the future, but Pac was right all those years ago.

The problem is that the truth is simple. The orange man IS BAD. The Maganoids go on and on about Biden and Obama to make Trump seem like he's not so bad but it's silly and sad.

Trump is a pussy grabbing, megalomaniacal narcissist that crypto grifted billions from his most loyal followers. His childish name-calling is an embarrassment and he's an absolute idiot ("1500% discount on drugs"). He says outrageously idiotic things like he'll end the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 24 hours or build a giant wall across a continent through two mountain ranges and down the middle of the Rio Grande. He's making all the same moves Putin did when he took over from Yeltsin to concentrate government power in the executive branch. He's talked about invading Greenland and really believes he's ended twelve wars in first six months in office.
His staff are incompetent buffoons, selected with no regard for their abilities or integrity but picked because of their mindless loyalty to Trump.
Just like Putin, there are people that support Trump's authoritarian moves. These nationalist NPCs believe what the state media tells them and seethe with the fear and anger they've been sold. Trump has given shitty, hateful people a voice in Washington.

And now he's hiding the Epstein files after saying for years how he will use them to destroy the liberal cabal?
Seriously, who still believes any of his stupid bullshit?

But still, tell us how horrible Biden was and how things would be better under Putin or Kim Jung Un.
