Right. Trump has effectively declared martial law in Washington DC, ostensibly to take control of the city to cut down on the record violent crime, disgusting graffiti, and antisocial behaviour.
It's premised on more than one lie. First is a car hijacking which supposedly happened to an ex-DOGE employee. It's false. The DOGE-Bro "Big Balls" - yes, that's his tag - *witnessed* an attempted carjacking.
Secondly, is Trump saying the ability of the DC Metropolitan Police - the same force which assisted the Capitol Police in defending the Capitol during Trump's insurrection on January 6th 2021 - to maintain law and order is lacking. It's a lie. Violent crime is the lowest in thirty years.
I recall as a youngster that DC had the highest murder rate in the US. Not so now. Now, it's not even in the top ten of cities. All the Red States, however, are higher.
He is "deploying the national guard to bring peace and law and order to take back this city and make it beautiful again."
Bo****ks! It's both a scare tactic through a brutal show of raw strength, and yet another deflection from the Epstein debacle in which he is up to his nose and floundering.
Prediction: will he attempt this soft martial law in other US districts/territories, much as he did in Los Angeles earlier in the year. Puerto Rico, for example, is a decidedly Blue territory and has, like DC, being suggested to be awarded Statehood. If both are achieved, Democrats would get another four senators, and eat into the Red share of the 538 Congressional seats in the House of Representatives.
And, of course, the still ongoing local criminal and civil charges against him and his companies for fraud, and with his co-conspirators for the attempted coup of 2021.
US is now a dictatorship. The final piece to it being under total authoritarianism is the removal of Free Speech and media (not far to go now) and the dissolution of, or theatrical running of, elections (also not far). With the Red States like Texas trying to gerrymander its electorates according to race outisde the census year, thus complying with Trump's demand for "five more MAGA seats in Texas".
And meeting Putin in Alaska? Giving the war criminal standing is just another suck up. Add to that Trump uses the term "we" when describing which country will get the various parts of Ukraine currently occupied by Russia is telling. Similar to the "we" Trump used when replying to a question about the shooting of Ashlee Babbit on January 6, "we didn't have guns, they had guns, none of them [the cops] were shot, only one of us was shot and the guy got away with it. Which is a disgrace." They have since awarded Babbit's family $5m.
Then there's the creation of the Stasi - sorry, "the expansion of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency" - to hunt down undesirables - sorry, "those with more melanin than Karoline Leavitt" - and deport them without any due process whatsoever. It's basically a private police force, deploying masked agents to drag people off the street and incarcerate them indefinitely. They have netted hundreds of *actual* citizens, and more than a few tourists, and (laughably if weren't so f**king serious) several Native Americans.
The train to total fascism is gaining speed, now. As Trump's cognitive decline becomes more apparent daily, the architects behind him have to take drastic steps accelerating their timeline before he becomes too far gone that his bombast and ignorance is unable to hide them.
I have said repeated for years, "Trump is NOT the Wizard of Oz, he's too stupid. Trump is the curtain."
Conspiracy time. Some mouthpieces online have suggested, by conflating two conspiracies being, in this case:
1) Putin has compliment on Trump; and
2) that Trump is in the Epstein files
that there is more to Trump's childish cross-armed recalcitrance to release the evidence gathered during the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and (at least one of his co-ra**sts) Ghislane Maxwell.
It is well known and documented that a lot of human trafficking, especially through Epstein, was done through what is called Eastern Europe, and from Russia.
The latest from the conspiracy-mongers that Trump created though his lies, is that Trump himself wasn't just on the periphery of Epstein and Maxwell's human trafficking and child r**e but through his Miss World and other glamor / modeling shows, Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell used those as a conduit to conduct their evil enterprise. Some content that is why Melania Trump (from Eastern Europe, a low-level p**n star and alleged former prostitute)is being very very quiet. After all, Epstein introduced them and, according to the vile piece of filth, Trump first b***d Melania on The Lo**ta Express (what a giveaway name for your plane, Jayzus!) which the former Ms Knauss denies.
Finally, JD Vance, an intelligent backstabbing lowlife still keeps Epstein in the headlines by "leaking" meetings he was going to hold, leaking meetings that he has held, and is playing a very close line on placing himself in the right place politically to get Trump impeached. He also keeps it in the headlines but, "Supporting" and "defending" the choice to cover it up. Not that's he's asked a question about it, he volunteers the information. He needs to have this crime exposed to further his own career so he keeps it in the news.
When the intelligent fascists get in the Big Chair, the US and possibly most of the "Western" world is f**ked. Not just because of its military might - which, of course is part of it - but because leaders of Australia, the UK, South Korea, and Ireland are spineless.
