Thank you Sir, for your service and your thoughts.
We govern with the consent of the govern, as guardians, not as occupiers.
Citizens in cities Republicans don't like are still citizens. Entitled to the same rights and respect.
They seem to have forgotten that, and it is more than one man.
Trump could not do it without enablers like Youngkin, Miyares, and all of the everyday Republicans sitting idly by as our civil liberties are attacked. It doesn't happen without them.
And it's odd to me, that having campaigned on and using illegal immigrants as the justification for these occupations - to wonder why they are only deployed in Democratic strongholds?
If the main people demanding this action is Republicans, shouldn't they be looking to destroy the economies and punish "evildoers" in their cities and states? Shouldn't they be occupying Dallas and Phoenix first? That's where the fear is highest.
And if it is for crime, shouldn't they be in Speaker Johnson's Shreveport, LA or Josh Hawley's St Louis, Missouri or Tommy Tuberville's Birmingham, Alabama? They all have a higher murder rate than DC. Birmingham's is more than double, the worst in the nation. Why not go there?
And admittedly, DC is a special case, in that this Republican Congress has so much control of that unrepresented city. And yet, they spend millions, and ask the citizens of Virginia to spend additional millions to send the Guard to that poor, benighted city; at the same time they deny it funds they've long requested to hire more police officers.
Pennywise and pound foolish, all in the name of theatre.
That's what the Republican party, and those foolish enough to have bought their lies got, and are getting, when they chose someone versed in reality TV rather than reality to lead them.
As horrible as all of this is, and it is, America deserves it. We as a nation openly chose such morally, mentally, and ethically corrupt leadership - despite seeing the damage that such a choice could cause. We have no one to blame but ourselves.
No one. Though I'm sure that many will try. Because I fear this is merely the beginning of our troubles, not the last. We've got a long way to go. It's only been 9 months, and many of the financial aspects of this horror are just settling in.
Though the Biden economy had mainly been booming for those on the rich half of the inequality gap, it was booming, especially when compared to the other economies coming out of the pandemic. It's takes a while to start something as big as the American economy, it takes it a while to stop.
But have no doubt, it's slowing. The only question is how much, and for how long. But with someone who's instability and thirst for revenge only waxes greater with every successsful persecution of his "enemies", and whose primary acumen beyond personal greed and corruption has been bankruptcy - I fear we are about to find out what happens when the world justifiably no longer has full faith in, nor is willing to extend credit to this nation due to Republican's actions.
We've already lost our AAA bond rating from all three main rating services due to the latest budget passed by them.
Which has resulted in billions of additional costs to serve our trillions in debt.
With the only significant additional revenue stream being taxes on the poorest (tariffs) that affect things as diverse as windmills to coffee beans - with the rates changing daily based upon whims of a madman.
Hardly a good environment for honest business to thrive.
Anyway, I digress, I know. Again, thank you for so clearly addressing the concerns of this one issue in this cult's madness. I hope such wisdom is followed. We would all be better off
Though it is but one of many catastrophes that has been caused by the petty, entitled, overly sensitive tyrants that now presume to rule us.
With one law for them, and another for the rest of us.
Absolutely.

With us all suffering as a result.
Sad times.
