Dems Protesting for More Crime as Trump “Takes Over” DC
Dems protesting for more crime in DC is a continual mantra that defies common sense. But when President Trump gave a press conference on DC crime, Dem ‘panicans’ like Hakeen Jeffries called it a “take over” of DC and freaked out. The response was terrific. I mean over-the-top.
In truth, President Trump “federalized” DC police under section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act and deployed around 1,000 National Guard troops to ”help reestablish law and order” in the nation’s capital. He placed the police department under the purview of AG Pam Bondi.
Carjackings and violent juvenile crime is causing havoc all over DC. From a DOGE member beaten and bloodied, to a Congressional staffer murdered, to countless other examples, President Trump said enough is enough. There are homeless tents, broken streets, and a mess that the President wants cleaned up. The FBI, ICE, and the National Guard will be present on the streets as Dems whine about the city being “safe” already. It isn’t.
The truth is that Dems love more crime and the tourists who visit DC, as well as the employees who work there are well aware of the dangers. With the DC police cooking the books, the stats are all messed up. Dems have been in charge of DC too long, and that ends today. Maybe all these Dems should leave their keys in the cars and walk around with no security at night in the city to see what happens. The crime in DC has no political preference – both sides have been targeted by the criminals.
Without getting into the DEI Washington DC Police Chief, or the idiot Dana Bash at CNN claiming the most violence was Jan 6, 2021. Dems are for more crime, not fixing the issues.

@ElwoodBlues What it's all about is to divert trump's MAGA sycophants from the name Epstein.
Because those sycophants keep trump in power and right now those sycophants are asking why trump now refuses to release the Epstein files and why thousands of FBI agents were tasked to comb those files for trump's name and perhaps - just perhaps - they'll start to realise that they're just being duped by a criminal of the worst kind.
@sunsporter1649 I said to a friend, just a few minutes ago, that your response would be a irrelevant cartoon centred on the political distant past... and you didn't disappoint! 😂
Now, how about you address President Tony Soprano's involvement with the child rapist Epstein?
@sunsporter1649 They were under seal due to Maxwell's trial. The jury found Maxwell guilty on December 29, 2021, on five of six counts related to her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of minors.
Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022.
Trump's the one who was telling everyone that HE would release everything ....just another lie....as his name is all over them, so now, time to move Maxwell to a nicer prison, and act like 'nothing to see here' now. So Trump lied to his base and they are pissed....except you. LOL.
The first trial, which concluded in December 2021, involved six charges related to sex trafficking and conspiracy in connection with Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of underage girls. Maxwell was found guilty on five of those six counts.
The second trial, for two perjury charges, was severed from the first and has yet to be scheduled. The perjury charges accuse Maxwell of lying under oath during a 2016 deposition related to a civil lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre.
Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that GHISLANE MAXWELL was sentenced today in Manhattan federal court by United States Circuit Judge Alison J. Nathan to 240 months in prison for her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade. MAXWELL was previously found guilty on December 29, 2021, following a one-month jury trial, of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor.
@sunsporter1649 None of which has anything to do with Maxwell being transferred to Club Fed days after meeting with deputy attorney general Todd Blanche.
Prisoners wishing to be transferred to the minimum-security camp wait years for approval, which comes only after vetting, assessment, consultations, and meeting strict criteria.
Maxwell got there within days of meeting Todd Blanche.
There seems to be no paper-trail of vetting, assessment, and consultations, and no explanation has been given as to why deputy attorney general Todd Blanche met with Maxwell.
This is the corruption you are helping to nurture in the heart of america's former democracy.
@sunsporter1649 Bravo. Those are the worst of the worst, and should be handled per the law. I have no issue with those, as long as they are given their Constitutional rights to due process and the rule of law.
Nobody is against these types being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Be we don't think using masked thugs to sweep people up off the streets, in unmarked vehicles and taken off to a distant prison. That's against the law.
@sunsporter1649 This is your preference for felons and paedophiles, is it? Of course, only those felons and paedophiles with whom you can identify in some way...
Federal Prison Camp Bryan (FPC Bryan) offers a variety of recreational activities for its inmates.

Other Activities: The camp also offers programs like academic courses, job-skills training, and intramural activities.
@sunsporter1649 I understand you're afraid of all those who are not you. I understand that's what drives you to allow corruption to flourish by ignoring it.
I understand that's why you are eager to throw America's honour, integrity, and values onto the bonfire lit and fuelled by President Tony Soprano.
Braver people will not understand, so perhaps it's best if you avoid them... just stay in the shadows with your cartoons and weakness.
@sunsporter1649 So the cartoonist who does your thinking for you brought up influence peddling without offering any evidence🤣😂😝🤣😂
During Mr. Trump’s first term, he frequently used his powers to reward himself. He held government events at his hotels, and his family business continued to make deals involving foreign governments, in an apparent violation of the constitutional prohibition of enrichment from foreign leaders. But those erasures of ethical norms now look like a dress rehearsal for the ultimate production of the second term. Given the stakes, we believe that it is important to step back and document the range of self-dealing since he took office four months ago:
⦿ While administration officials engage in complex negotiations in the Middle East, Mr. Trump and his family are making billions of dollars’ worth of deals with players in the region. The Trump Organization has six real estate projects planned in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The company struck a deal with the Qatari government to build a golf club and beachside villas that will bring in millions of dollars in fees. Mr. Trump announced recently that Qatar was donating a Boeing 747-8 worth about $200 million to serve as a more luxurious Air Force One, which he has said could go to his presidential library after he leaves office. For all this, he has made clear that tiny Qatar can expect a cozy relationship. “We are going to protect this country,” Mr. Trump said in Doha. “It’s a very special place, with a special royal family.”
⦿ During his first term, those currying favor with Mr. Trump bought drinks and dinner or spent the night at his Washington hotel. Now they can spend half a million dollars to join the private club Donald Trump Jr. is opening in Georgetown. It is called Executive Branch. The club’s founding members include Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, twin brothers whose cryptocurrency company was being sued by the S.E.C. — until Mr. Trump’s administration put a hold on the lawsuit.
⦿ As his administration is negotiating with Vietnam to reduce the tariffs he imposed on the country’s goods, the government there is making way for a $1.5 billion golf complex outside Hanoi, as well as a Trump skyscraper in Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnamese officials said in a letter that the real estate project needed to be fast-tracked because it was “receiving special attention from the Trump administration and President Donald Trump personally.”
⦿ Serbian officials cleared the way for a Trump International Hotel in Belgrade by using a forged document to permit the demolition of a cultural site at the location. Serbian opposition leaders say the forgery demonstrates how eager the country’s government has been to do a deal benefiting Mr. Trump.
⦿ Mr. Trump has held meetings, including one in the Oval Office, to force a merger between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV golf circuit, which frequently holds tournaments on Trump courses. In April, LIV Golf paid the Trump family to host a tournament at the Trump National Doral in Florida. A merger could lead to more such events.
⦿ The right-wing activist Elizabeth Fago attended a $1 million per person fund-raising dinner for MAGA Inc., Mr. Trump’s super PAC, in April. Less than three weeks later, The Times reported, he granted a full pardon to Ms. Fago’s son Paul Walczak, who pleaded guilty to tax crimes in 2024. The pardon is one of many issued by Mr. Trump to people who provided him with political or financial support or were associated with others who did.
⦿ After personally suing media companies that the government regulates, including CBS/Paramount and ABC/Disney, Mr. Trump has won millions of dollars in settlements. Paramount has reportedly offered $15 million to settle a baseless lawsuit Mr. Trump filed against CBS, fearing that the Trump administration would otherwise block its planned merger with Skydance Media. Mr. Trump is demanding $25 million.
⦿ Amazon has agreed to pay $40 million for the rights to a documentary about Melania Trump. That’s tens of millions more than such projects usually cost, Hollywood executives have said. Mrs. Trump’s cut is more than 70 percent. Defense contracts for web services would be reason enough for Amazon to curry favor with Mr. Trump.
⦿ Mr. Trump’s inaugural committee raised $239 million, mostly from large corporations and business leaders. The committee spent far less than that on the inauguration and faces few legal restrictions on what to do with the rest of the money. It is typical for presidents not to spend all of their inaugural funds, but previous presidents raised far less than Mr. Trump. The largest donor, a chicken processor called Pilgrim’s Pride, already seems to be benefiting from favorable government policies, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The motivation for people to give so much money to the president of the United States is plain. Some want him to bestow favors on them; others are trying to avoid being punished by his administration’s vindictive approach to governance. All of them want to shift government policy to benefit them, often at the expense of the American people.
