    “The restaurants now are booming. People are going out to dinner where they didn’t go out for years, and it’s a safe city,” he told reporters just outside the restaurant. “We have a capital that’s very, very safe right now.”

    Fucking bald-faced liars.

    And my heartfelt thanks to the protesters.

        Guy is a scaredy cat, he decamped to bunker in 2020 because of blm protesters marching.

        Then ordered military to shoot them, was rebuffed, ordered to just shoot them a little, was rebuffed. Military agreed to tear gas and some violence to defy their rights to protest.

        No one will rebuff him long today. They all think the republic is already dead.

      I fucking live here. Crime is extremely low where he is. The whole thing was a show from the beginning. “Democrat cities have crime and chaos, so i cleaned them up” is a talking point that he’s spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on, just to make himself feel special.

        just to make himself feel special.

        Oh there’s so much more behind it. The extra force is in place now. Preparing for the next election. The next Jan 6. As both his cousin and his ghost writer said almost a decade ago: he will not go willingly.

          Not to him. To him it’s about being on top, being a winner. The policy shit is all done by other people. With his blessing, sure, but only after they talk to him in small words about how it’s great and will make people love him even more.
