Mike DeWine, who people still call "moderate" is the Gov of Ohio, who is among those sending their National Guard to DC. Meanwhile, Cleveland has a higher homicide rate than DC. In the Republican War on America, we know which side DeWine is on, and it ain't America's.

The US has weird habits Declared victory over the Confederates but failed to defeat them Declared victory over fascism but failed to defeat it Declared victory over the Taliban but failed to defeat them The only thing America is great at is losing wars

Y’all Queda is coming! These yokels are going to either be trigger happy bullies strutting around Georgetown looking tough, or cowering in fear of being ordered to ride the OMFG Metro…

Thank goodness, my day in dc was full of terror 😬😆! And again, Thank goodness they were not building temporary shelter for the homeless orhome not spending federal funds for goon stunts

It's all performative political theater. Neither the despot, Bondi, nor any other sycophants has mentioned how they will track the crime deep dive. They will likely pull numbers out of their collective a**es and call them facts. Pulling the NG away from their mission is dangerous, cruel, & stupid.

"The Germans call this sort of thing "a permanent bailout." We just call it "Missouri." Meanwhile, California-hating South receives subsidies from California dwarfing EU, a transfer of wealth from blue states/cities to red states/rural for their hospitals, universities, airports, even environment

Cities in blue states have less crime and murders! Higher life expectancy, maternal mortality more Scandinavia (California) than Africa (Texas) Even lower overall tax rates than red states like Texas (which replace wealth income tax with higher taxes and fees on the poor) while subsidizing them!

It’s amazing to me that all these broke Republican states have money to send their national guard to DC to fluff Dear Leader’s ego. The rich blue states should seriously stop subsidizing them.

There are now reports that Southern Belle, Lindsey Graham (seen here with his newest fucked-up hair cut) is “jovial with frenzied elation!” He’s fucking weird… He’s just a weird little dude.

Everyone needs to understand this is a dry run for 2028/9 when Trump will attempt to use troops to remain in power and crush any opposition. The only crime emergency in DC is the convicted felon occupying the WH.

Hand out copies of the Declaration of Independence to the feds with parts highlighted: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
