Losing the economy and “no wars” excuses in rapid succession is a huge blow folks who can’t just openly admit they want ethnic cleansing. Gonna see some crazy explanations this year
Starting to come around on this. I just can't believe a man this rational and composed, a FIFA Peace Prize winner no less, would launch a bombing campaign of his own volition. Clearly this is the work of AIPAC and George Soros
They even got the calendar right!
Ah yes, a “war for Israel.” Was Israel behind the Venezuela invasion too? Or is it just a crazy coincidence that Trump has launched attacks on two different hostile regimes in oil-rich countries in the span of six months?
What are the odds; amirite?
I kind of love that this guy spent a lifetime managing companies and inheriting/amassing grotesque wealth, probably thought he’d built an impressive legacy, but instead now he will always be the dumbass who asked if we could replace oil tankers with trucks
Pro-Israel donors are a national government?
Look man, Trump and the GOP have made it abundantly clear that they don’t need much encouragement to bomb the Middle East. Maybe they should be the target of our ire, instead of finding a way to blame rich Jews for their conduct?
You guys should be thankful that all your competitors are being run out of business or ceded to Stephen A Smith hot takes, because holy hell do you suck at journalism
Hey man, not sure this is the best moment for your “a shadowy cabal of Jews are behind this war” piece
What's the problem? You act like someone is already providing access to massive amounts of information in both print and electronic form for free in government-run buildings in every city in the country already or something
Guy has apparently never heard of libraries
I don't expect this administration to consult with historical scholars or genuine experts of course, but maybe someone could just roll by the White House and Pentagon every so often with a megaphone and shout "Gallipoli!" until one of them looks it up?

OK sure, but using the phrase "frisson of transgression" in conversation is inexcusable
I'll have to take your word for it
You can also see that the few speed cameras they do have in NW are some of the biggest earners. So people are obviously doing a ton of speeding there. Yet there's the same number of cameras on the three-block stretch of Riggs Rd near the Wal-Mart as there are in the entire city west of Foxhall Rd
There aren't very many of those and they've evenly distributed.
Here's the map. It's actually pretty fascinating. You can see, eg, the plan to raise money on speeding commuters coming down North Capitol right after the speed limits drop pretty clearly

I put a map in one of my previous posts if you wanna see them all
Yale went 29-5 and will open its postseason at 11 AM Saturday ON THE ROAD at Cornell, which is hosting the Ivy mini-tournament this year
Hey neighbor! I'm near 14th and Varnum.
I agree completely. In fact I wish they'd take some of the cameras in high-traffic places that don't have a lot of pedestrians (but have rapidly changing speed limits), and put them in residential areas instead
I'd much rather pay a couple speeding tickets than have people think I live in Maryland
Oh for sure, 100% agree. I've got three kids that play outside in NE! It's a great development, just some inevitable flaws in administration as it expands
Pretty good! I definitely support the program, but there's no question that aspects of it are regressive/designed to raise funds rather than promote safety. eg cameras right after large speed limit drops in Kenilworth and North and East Capitol Sts
That said, it is foisted largely on the poorer areas where politicians are less likely to face blowback from angry Karens, so it can function as a regressive tax. Ask anyone who lives in DC if this looks proportional to residents/businesses/traffic in the city:

I dunno about that. Where do you live? There are very few speed or stop cameras in NW, presumably because they know the white people will complain incessantly about them. But they are EVERYWHERE in NE, including in places with rapid speed limit changes that are obvious revenue-generating traps
I live in DC and I get tickets semi-regularly, It can be frustrating (I've never seen anything like it anywhere else) but I do appreciate the reminders to slow down.
It's basically a child/pedestrian/cyclist safety tax, which anyone who regularly drives a car around a big city should pay
This guy's a fucking billionaire.
There is no such thing as meritocracy, and nobody should have imposter syndrome. All of us are better than this dipshit
