    So back during COVID when restaurants complained, that was enough pressure to justify jeopardizing the entire health of the planet to allow them to re-open. I was told that economic activity was worth the death and destruction and suffering.

    So that means these same people are going to be calling for an end to this military occupation, right?

    The fact that restaurants were that much busier before all this directly contradicts any claims of rampant crime necessitating a federal takeover. People aren’t out spending DC restaurant levels of money if they might get shot or disappeared, but before they were just fine doing so.

      I have homeless in my hometown, and this isn’t the first time an idiot has tried to “solve” homelessness by making it illegal. It hasn’t worked in the past, and they’ll be back when the current idiot I’d dead and gone. Just like last time.

      Enjoy the bums.

      Edit: the joke here. using a well recorded slur for a group of vagrants really ground a few gears. Did the weekend and food taste better in Philadelphia ?

    This is where Trump finds out the real reason that he couldn’t get a reservation at any of the DC area restruants.
