Trump Grabs Control of DC Police, Promises National Guard Deployment

Originally published at: Trump Grabs Control of DC Police, Promises National Guard Deployment - TPM – Talking Points Memo

For at least the next 30 days, the Trump administration will control local law enforcement in D.C. President Trump on Monday ordered the Metropolitan Police Department placed under emergency federal control. He also said that he was activating the D.C. National Guard for a deployment of around 800 troops to the nation’s capital. There’s no…

“Under two executive orders Trump issued on Monday, Trump federalized the D.C. police for 30 days. By law, any extension beyond that period requires congressional authorization.”

Hahahahhahaha welp of course TSF will follow the law. But if Congress isn’t in recess they’ll just rubber stamp it anyway.

So apparently you don’t even have to set fire to the Reichstag to declare an emergency. Huh.

Wow! That “Blue Balls” Corristine, Elon’s little DOGGIE boy, must have whined like a dog to his Master Trump after those two (2) juveniles beat him up! One mugging and it’s a “crime wave”! Send in the FBI! The National Guard! Can the Marines be far behind?

Black men can get murdered, women assaulted and despite these ongoing, every day events, 1 tech bro experiences car jacking and it’s time to impose martial law.

I have no sympathy with Big Balls.
I, also, don’t think what happened to him did anything but provide a pretext for a move Donnie has been laying the foundation for for a long time.
If Corristine hadn’t been assaulted, something else happening to provide a pretext for Donnie’s taking over DC’s police and calling out the National Guard is the odds on favorite.

Not as long as you can CGI a fake fire and tell the media to publish it or else.

Memo to: Donnie
From: America
Subject: Your agenda
We are NOT taking our demand for disclosure in the matter of Jeffrey Epstein.
No distractions will divert our attention.
As you say, “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Senile One imagines a crime wave to distract attention from his drop in numbers. People will die shortly.

If he were to lose the many people who wash, wipe, protect, feed, kiss, and haul around his ass, he would just sit down and die. He never learned how to take care of himself at all, at all.

Wake me up when they declare Martial Law and start shooting innocent citizens.

I want to have the chance to duck and crawl into the basement.

This is Trump following his same MO. He is attempting (and succeeding) to change the public narrative from the Epstein fiasco to something (anything) else. The Press and Social Media should not let him and his administration do so. Call him out for doing it as well. Don’t let him politically take a breath.

Big Balls had it coming, but it is pretty clear the 15 year olds who assaulted him and tried to hijack his ride had no idea who he was. Further, 15 year old criminals don’t pay much attention to the news. Trump is not going to deter this crime or anything like it, and these juveniles will likely not be prosecuted as adults.

This is all more theater to distract us from the Trump Administrations multiple failures in governance and his past association with sexual predators Epstein and Maxwell. That is all.

So while we trade snarky barbs, the fat tyrant is going full 1939. When the fuck do we fight back? Before or after he starts sending Democrats to the fucking gallows?

Interesting he’s doing this in August when nobody other than tourists are in Washington. I bet he’ll use videos of peace and calm to declare victory over the criminal class in September while all the NG folks could have enjoyed their vacations or gone to their normal jobs instead of sweating to death on the streets of DC. All so TSF can do his big man gaslighting.

WTF? Didn’t anyone tell Big Balls about the White House free dope dispensary?

“When the fuck do we fight back?”

So, what are you suggesting, exactly? Are you, personally, going to lead us from to the comments section to the barricades?

Tough talk is easy on the internet.

So he is lying about needing to do this because of crime that doesn’t exist but wouldnt call them out on 1/6 for the real criming he caused. This is only about breaking posse comitatus so he can do this where ever he wants for any reason.

EVERYTHING DEMS SAID ABOUT HIM WAS TRUE
