    “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.

      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.

      Most molesters don’t molest children because they are pedophiles. That’s a fucking cartoon grasp of reality.

        He is directly emulating hitler, acheiving more of a mussolini. Fuck what his supporters think or how they respond.

    LOL, watching Hegseth in that video with the eyes darting everywhere. Almost like he expects there to be a book depository nearby, with a window sliding open…

        Theres a lot of pictures of Hitler around children and he did a lot of programs with them but I feel like if he was a pedo it would’ve come out after the war, no fucking way the Soviets wouldn’t have shouted it from the rooftops.

    Being compared to Hitler is not going to disturb him that much, I feel. He loves it.

    Which means, add to your repertorie! Like, you can call him “Mr. Krasnov” as well.

      I’m old enough to remember how butthurt the cons and Huckabee were over being denied a cheese plate.

      Yes, I hope Taco gets the finger - metaphorically and literally - any time he sets foot in public without having a “vetted” audience.
