It's pretty disgusting to see comment sections full of people who don't live in DC cheering for Bowser. Same with DCUM. I am so glad Dump is gonna put the screws to her over the new stadium name.

Thank you Alex. Her arrogance is breath taking. She lies to voters and DC residents and seethes when called out about it to her face. She is clearly unfit to lead.

After being gone for 7 weeks, the House next week will vote on two bills impacting DC: the β€œDistrict of Columbia Cash Bail Reform Act of 2025” (H.R. 5214) & the β€œCommon-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in (CLEAN) DC Act of 2025” (H.R. 5107): rules.house.gov/media/announ...

oh wow, nobody could have predicted that in a county governed by the car industry, whose local, state, and national governments mostly exist to subsidize and mandate driving and car ownership, and whose carmakers churn out massive, deadly, polluting, insanely expensive tanks,,,,

Isn't it the responsibility of the condo board to get this repaired?

Yeah, I saw that. FIFA is probably paying Dump under the table for this. Also, just deserts that DC and Bmore get screwed out of host sites but we get to host the draw at the KC. Sucks to be us!

Good thing they were on Metrorail instead of bus! Wouldn't want them to face 30 min headways getting to the altar

Staring down the barrel of a 30 minute headway on 14th St NW at 7 am. Better Bus has been an abysmal failure. @wmatagm.bsky.social deserves to be fired for screwing over bus riders.

Wow, forgot about that. That's a doozy even by your low standards.

So are you going to push to have Dump's name on the new stadium or what?

What's his angle here? A Dump endorsement? I don't think that's a winning strategy.

That's true. It is certainly better than nothing. I noticed the "north side" of that median doesn't have the angled lip.

Convieniently launch a distracted driver into a waiting pile of squishy human pedestrians! What's the point of having a concrete median if they're barely doing thier jobs--protecting pedestrians?

10.11.2025 14:34 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I love how that lip to that median curb is angled as to protect the driver from his or her own dangerous driving instead of punishing the driver and protecting the pedestrians

Column | Trump’s visit flies in the face of his past with the NFL and its players The president criticized the league during his first term but has since changed his demeanor.

This Barry Svrluga column from the Commies game yesterday is absolutely brutal on Dump. Worth reading.
