welp if the CEO of Intel had just brought trump a bar of gold, none of this would have ever happened

@realDonaldTrump
The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!

Typical pro crime progressive…Sweetcell you live in Seattle???


Of course crime was more during the Barry years. Am talking about the last decade not thirty fuckin years ago. Should we wait until crime levels hit Mayor crackho levels to do something?

so there is a kernel of truth here: the ceo of intel owns and/or leads several companies in china - a few of which have known ties to the CCP.  chip-makers have a national security role, so this isn't completely out of left field... but again, how it is being handled is, shall we say, less than optimal.

resorting to ad hominem really doesn't say much about the strength of your arguments, now does it?  i accept your capitulation.  moving on:

Of course crime was more during the Barry years. Am talking about the last decade not thirty fuckin years ago. Should we wait until crime levels hit Mayor crackho levels to do something?

over the last decade, with the exception of 2023, crime in DC showed a steady decline.  2024 had the lowest rate of violent crime in 30 years.  DC is "doing something", and it's working (despite the horrible experiences your two friends went through).  the idea that DC is doing nothing and that crime is out of control is a trumpian talking point to seize more power.

Trump says he will meet Putin on Aug. 15 in Alaska

Is this when Trump gives Alaska to Russia?

we can surely say the possibility is not zero

Look we are not going to agree seeetcell. I remember last year I was following crime statistics DC puts out and carjackings and murders were way up. I understand murders are back down again this year but overall- from talking to people in DC- and you can say this is anecdotal- there is a feeling that things are not as safe as they used to be. I don’t go to the Union station area anymore but after Covid there was a substantial rise in homeless, drug dealing and people shooting up in the alley by Dubliners and Irish Times AND a feeling that the area had been abandoned. This is a few blocks from the capitol.

Moreover, a blind faith in statistics to me seems misguided. There is something to be said for people who live and work in DC and how they feel. They can’t all be paranoid! You are sitting in your nice home north of Seattle and you think by looking up crime statistics and comparing them to the crackho mayor years you know what’s happening in DC?

[hutch]

But what do I know I guess…could be wrong…maybe the city is very safe…that would be great

IRS commissioner removed and given ambassadorship to Iceland as consolation prize

This Bessent guy annoys me…it’s like he wants more and more power…he will be secretary of the treasury and IRS acting commissioner

Trump administration is just like the administrations tend to be in Argentina….constant fighting over and rearrangement of responsibilities decided by Trump depending on who has brown nosed him more effectively
