Put the Joint Chiefs on parking duty
He’s going completely batshit. He’s demoting the entire FBI to beat cops. Sir, sir, that’s not what they’re there for.
The FBI has begun dispatching agents in overnight shifts to help local law enforcement prevent carjackings and violent crime in Washington, according to two people familiar with the matter, as President Donald Trump threatens a federal takeover of the nation’s capital and considers calling up the National Guard.
…
Trump on Sunday compared forthcoming action against D.C. crime to his administration’s aggressive crackdown against illegal immigration at the southern border, saying that he plans to “immediately clear out the city’s homeless population and take swift action against crime.”
“Be prepared! There will be no ‘MR. NICE GUY.’ We want our Capital BACK,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social social media platform.
Why does he write his diary in public?
A White House official said in a statement that “we won’t get ahead of the President on any potential announcements, but the President has been clear that all options are on the table when it comes to making DC safe again.”
In other words, “We have no idea what he’s going to do next and we’re terrified so shut up.”
In recent days, the administration has authorized up to 120 agents, largely from the FBI’s Washington Field Office, to work overnight shifts for at least one week alongside D.C. police and other federal law enforcement officers in the nation’s capital…
The deployment of FBI agents to deal with local crime puts agents from the bureau’s counterintelligence, public corruption and other divisions with minimal training in traffic stops out on the streets in potentially dangerous encounters, diverting them from their typical jobs at the bureau.
It’s like drafting some senators to do his laundry.
The reassignment of FBI agents has further demoralized some agents in the Washington Field Office, who believe they have little expertise or training in thwarting carjackers and were already angered by a spate of firings inside the agency that they deemed unwarranted. Last week, the Trump administration ousted with no explanation FBI personnel across the country, including the head of the Washington Field Office.
He seems to want another Operation Valkyrie.
I wonder why Trump would reassign FBI agents from the public corruption division? Don’t they need all hands on deck to go after Obama?
All because a fifteen year-old girl beat up “Big Balls” Coristine.
I was recently walking around DC after dark and found it to be pleasant and unthreatening.
But I am not a teenager waving wads of cash around Logan Circle at 3 AM.
I recall that phrase being used in the past in connection with international crises, and it usually meant that the US wasn’t ruling out any military options, up to and including nuclear weapons. Good to see Trump is keeping all approaches open. I’m sure a tactical nuke might learn them homeless people a thing or two.
That is completely unnecessary; any senators have been doing this for years on a completely voluntary basis.
I remember a television series created by the anthropologist David Mayberry-Lewis, called Millenium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World, which looked at some of the last tribal cultures in the world, comparing and contrasting their lifeways and ethos with those of technological civilization. One of the episodes was called “A Poor Man Shames us All.” But then Trump would have to have a sense of shame in order for him to see the poverty and homelessness of others as being indicative of a failure or weakness in the system, rather than an unsightly inconvenience or blight.
It’s like drafting some senators to do his laundry.
Don’t give him any ideas. And is Rubio’s tenure as Secretary of State much better?
Don’t be terrified. The clues are all there in the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.!
