As most people know, there’s a heavy police and national guard presence in DC. However, as far as I know, they are just booting people out of DC, not making them disappear.
It stands to reason when the police and national guard presence goes back to its old level that many of the people will just come back, since we haven’t resolved any of the underlying problems that led to all the crime and homelessness.
Keeping all those people posted up costs a lot of money. I would say unless the plan is to have the military permanently occupy every major US city, that we are wasting our time.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big fan of crime or homelessness, but this just seems like a temporary way to move the problem around at great expense, not to solve it.
Am I missing something here?
It’s not pointless, it has a very clear point: centralize the police in the single territory free from the federal/state devide, where the entirety of the government that controls the country functions, and place it under the direct control of an autocratic ruler who has previously used control of this territory to avoid consequences for his crimes
The primary difference is he’s doing it in year 1 in preparation for what he’s about to do instead of retroactively in the last 20 days to try to save his ass. If that doesn’t scare the shit of of you then it should
All these other comments are, not so sharp. You have nailed it.
What do you think Trump will do when his 30 days of this legal occupation are up? What do you think the military will do? I honestly don’t have a guess.
