  1. Important words to remember the next time drought, flood, or hurricane wrecks a southern state.
  2. I’m sorry. Do I, as a DC resident, have any say in this? Or is the whole Democracy and Republican government thing just for some Americans.
  3. I was in Anacostia yesterday morning. Not a cop to be seen. They’ve pulled all the law enforcement from east of the River to do PR postings and assist ICE with immigration raids
  4. I was talking to a colleague about this the other day. His weave has gotten so bad that nobody listens to him from start to finish anymore. He’ll pop off an just announce totally wild shit off the top of his head, but because everyone turned it off 10 minutes ago, it didn’t even make the news. He weighed in on all the copyright AI lawsuits about 3 weeks ago and it just went whoosh.
  5. My former work colleague is a regards guy. He’ll chuck a “Warmly” in there if he is trying to butter up a staffer.
  6. Ima “Best” guy. Best, Bateshorn
  7. Isn't there a line of statistical thought that Mail in Voting ended up helping the GOP alot in 2020? LIke it was a major reason for him overperforming?
  8. I think it probably has to do with her ability to suck a golf ball through a garden hose. Allegedly.
  9. In any rational world, we'd be seeing some serious betting action on a rate increase, not decrease in September. You'd think the Fed would be looking at these numbers, decide to go full Volker, and put this last bit of inflation down for good, being willing to live with a mild to medium recession by Summer-Fall 2026 to be done with it. But we don't live in a rational world. Long term, tariffs and zero/negative immigration aren't classic inflation, in the sense of too much money chasing too few goods, but they will cause a price shock, which will likely excerbate any recession. Long term, if tariffs were to stay in place, they would suck even more money out of any already weakening economy. Like, in 1930-31......
  10. He's still churning through staff like crazy. I'm not in the substance abuse recovery community, but Hegseth gives very white knuckle dry drunk vibes.
  11. Here's the fun part: They are sending another 800 from SC, OH, and WV and they are going to give them guns. It's basically Mogadishu here. I mean the walk across the street from my apartment to the farmer's market in SW yesterday was a bit steamy. Not sure how I would have gotten heirloom tomatoes and stone fruit without a bunch of weekend warriors standing around.
  12. That's quite the chode.
  13. They need 4 to overcome Vance's tiebreaker Tillis and McConnell have a bug in their ass about Jan. 6 participants. It's a niche issue for them but they've torpedo-ed a couple of other nominees on being there or Jan. 6 adjacent.
  14. Might as well pull his nomination rn. Tillis and McConnell will be hard no's, along with Murkowski and Collins.
  15. Being a cis-het white dude born with privilage fucking rocks. You basically start every poker hand with a pair of Aces and a hefty stack.
  16. This is the most Virginia post I've ever seen "Why would you take the Metro to Tidal Basin when you can GET IN YOUR CAR!!!!!" The Dirt Bike thing is annoying as fuck. @956 Worldwide is right. Certain elements of the DC City Council (*cough* Charles Allen *cough*) have continued to advocate for lax criminal enforcement in the name of criminal justice reform long after it's become apparent to everyone involved that DC has a teen crime problem, that will require both increased enforcement in conjunction with reforming and rethinking DC's criminal code and general approach to crime.
  17. I think this has to do with possible tariffs on Swiss gold. BTW, Me, whenever I imagine Gold people:
  18. Non-zero? If Vlad shows up with a suitcase full of cash or a drive with some Bitcoin, plus a fake Rolex, Trump will sign the papers on the spot.
  19. Yeah. The high rent blight downtown is very real. the small minority thing is so spot on. The carjacking crisis was basically 20-30 teens and young adults. They would release them after an arrest and they would often car jack somebody right outside the DC jail!
  20. The thing is, the tourist areas of DC are probably the safest places in the entire country. DC itself is a relatively low crime city, but it is a city. The density of people means the crime density will appear higher, even if statistically on a per capita basis is relatively low.
  21. Yeah. the "gIvE tHeM tHiRd sPaCeS!" bullshit is exhausting and completely wrong DC has some of the best community center/public pool/parks/libraries in the entire country. If you are bored here, it's because you've actively chosen to be.
  22. The inability of MPD to get a handle on the gang war between the two crews on 5th and 7th by the convention center is a problem, but that has been going on for at least the last 15 years. Teen violence is really the cities bug-a-boo. Until trump got here, there was always decent employment opportunities for most adult's. DC doesn't have that bad of a homeless problem, relative to somewhere like California, or Austin.
