A DC Walking Tour for Our Federal Occupiers Step out of your humvee and take this self-guided walk through the city you're occupying.

There’s so much more to this city than setting up pretextual checkpoints, harassing black and brown youth, threatening citizens for filming you, or tearing down pro-immigrant posters and replacing them with dildos in Mt. Pleasant. thebighunt.substack.com/p/a-dc-walki...

Fuck this

Last night was a movie (the first hour of Red Dawn)

It would be neat to have a mayor who felt as passionately about home rule and freedom as she does a football stadium.

I’m the guy who has never sped 119 mph while drunk.

These three dipshits are detrimental to making our country safe

Tom Petek, 54, conceded in an interview that he was a little nervous about coming to Washington from his hometown of Medina, Ohio, which has a population just shy of 26,000 people. It’s his first trip to D.C. in more than four years, when he joined protests outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He remains a Trump supporter and has seen news reports about a rise in crime and a slew of homicides, he said. He joked that he and his wife would have to wear bulletproof vests when visiting historic sites. But on Monday, their first full day in the city, Petek and his wife went to the National Archives, Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian and the Washington Monument without incident. They planned to go on tours of the White House, the FBI building and the Capitol on Tuesday and remained unwary. “You hear the news, and the stuff about the murder rates and things, and you think, ‘Man, you’ve got to dodge bullets when you’re at the sites,’ but it’s safe,” Petek said. “You feel safe. You feel welcome.”

The best organizer is a bad boss, and if there’s any silver lining, it’s the hope that the news today will spur democrats to nut the fuck up and make DC and Puerto Rico states the first chance they get.

screenshot of a Facebook post by Sam Brody: "What is happening in DC right now would not be happening if DC had been made a state any time Democrats held both the presidency and Congress in the last 30 years. Adding states to the union is much easier to do than amending the constitution. It requires nothing more than an act of Congress, and only needs a simple majority to pass. The Obama Senate could have easily done it when they had 59 senators. But the party leaders thought, I dunno, it wouldn’t be sporting or something. Not fair to the Republicans to use power to do things. The pundits might call it “overreach,” oh no, not that. Biden could have tried to do it - everyone was already saying it was necessary democracy reform after Trump I - but he pre-gave up because Manchin and Sinema said they just had to respect the ancient and immortal filibuster, so what can you do? Best not to try. So now we have millions of US citizens with no representation at all under naked authoritarian rule by an unchecked federal law enforcement apparatus. And the pundits have all forgotten the word “overreach,” which only applies to Democrats when they win by much greater margins than this and have much larger and more representative majorities than this."

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR SKINNER: We’re closing down the X-files again.

MULDER: Because I’m too close to truth!

SKINNER: No, a DOGE guy named “Big Balls” got pounded into hamburger by a pack of rowdy teens, so the president is turning you into a traffic cop.

The real crime is groups of tourists walking five-wide and taking up the whole sidewalk.

Today's announcement will put untrained and unaccountable members of the military in an untenable position in our communities. It’s unnecessary, unwarranted, & a dangerous escalation of power in the Nation’s Capital simply because he can.
(5/5)

Every story quoting Trump saying this is to "rescue our nation’s capital from crime" needs to note that violent crime in D.C. is down 26%, murders are down 12%, juvenile arrests are down 20%, and ask who will get hurt from a domestic military deployment and what this "crackdown" is really about
