What if ending home rule?

[Sparker]

DC is basically a tourist town with visiting politicians. Many full year residents are temps who GTFO after a few years.

Once again, Trumpers SPITTING on the Constitution! Congress and NOT the President, rules D.C.

We’ve had 52 years of failed home rule in our Nation’s Capital. This city has been run into the ground by Democrats just like we see in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, San Francisco, and Los Angeles; to name a few. Those cities are not the Nation’s Capital. Washington DC is the Nation’s Capital and needs to be held in higher standards.

I have lived all over Fairfax and Loudon county.

When I was a kid, Loudon county was the STICKS. JUST FARMS.

NOW IT IS LIKE THE WOKIST COUNTY IN THE NATION.

NOT PROGRESS AT ALL.

I worked at a VDOC prison on West Ox Road in the early 70s. It's gone now but it was right next to the VDOT shop still there. Other than the Super 29 drive-in and Hunters Lodge there was nothing there but the dump.

There was almost nothing between Fairfax City and Centerville and not much in Centerville....Same thing from Centerville almost to Warrenton.

LOL.....You could still see the old CW trenches that butted-up against Rt 29 in Centerville.....Miles of them could easily be picked out in the Winter.

He can recommend and use his bullying all that he wants, but it takes our Congress, for him to take action like that in DC. according to our Constitution.

Thats last year. This is this year. Now he can do anything he wants.

Look to him trying the same in major cities throughout the US next.

Authoritarian regimes often have lower crime rates. It’s one of the perks of having authoritarians with no accountability.

What if pigs could fly?

Another lefty that doesn't even try to argue that the local dem population can govern itself well.

 

[Independent thinker]

What if ending home rule of DC, actually works quickly to make DC a nicer place to live and/or visit?

Kind of a strong message, if home rule by dems, just doesn't work. That they need to be taken care of by others.

Trump renews threats to take over Washington, D.C., but his legal authority is limited. Here's what he can do.

After an attempted carjacking involving a government staffer, Trump renewed his push to take federal control of D.C. — but he'd need Congress to make it happen.

If the crime rate goes down to zero, the mad leftists will attack Trump for taking democracy away.

True, the saving of thousands of black lives, would mean nothing to them. Hell, it would be a problem for them and they would move to reverse if they could.

But then you also have ghettos where the “residents” have lived for generations, completely dependent on welfare, and pumping out babies starting in their mid-teens.

Who gets stuck with all those people?

Farms and other labor intensive businesses. We will need all the babies we can get as the birthrate continues falling.

That doesn’t help us if the babies take up welfare for 17 years, and then THEIR babies take up welfare for another 17.

We need self-sufficient people.

The transition back to work could be as difficult as the transition out of work. With the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, entire generations across most of the USA lived with the expectation of working for much less than a living wage, if they can get any jobs at all. Rebuilding pride in workmanship and an expectation of fair pay could take a while.

President Trump is invoking Section740 of he Home Rule Act. Leftists want people to be afraid that he will take over other cities. Other cities are not involved in The Home Rule Act. Federal takeover of DC Police is limited to 30 days unless extended by Congress. It needs to happen!
