It will never go away. I think that even with the cover-up, someone, somewhere will get it released. Republicans are shielding child molestors. This isn't politics. It's fucking kids being raped and molested by grown-ass men. I sincerely hope that every Republican in Congress rots in hell. How do these people live with themselves? I suppose money clears the conscience, but I can't imagine how. trump is an abomination. Republicans are too, and they are the most vile people in America.

I agree that crime is too high in DC and everywhere. However, I have not seen Republicans policies helping make crime go down. In fact, their policies are the opposite of what makes a safe, healthy nation. Instead of hiding from the crime they should be working to get rid of it.

BC, Interestingly enough I started watching "The Good Fight" a legal procedural series set in my city of Chicago, which opens with the main character watching the inauguration of Trump in his first term. At some point in the first season when they are talking about Trump, a character brings up his having raped a 13-year-old girl, and another character says that she dropped the charges, as if that were it. Then yesterday morning I was reading a Substack that was talking about that very case, but not like it was a done deal, but as if it were evidence that Epstein was not the only one who raped young girls. Trump is too. It is sickening how casually that was treated in 2016, and I think that is part of the ethos that led Trump to brag that he can do anything he wants to women and they let him. As such, I can only wonder what his daughter experienced from him growing up. The show I am watching is reminding me of how much of what we are experiencing now was already there his first time around.

What we have here my friends is white people who are terrified of black people. I worked in DC from 1979-2012 and walked all over the city. Never robbed, never mugged, never car jacked.

EVEN as addicted to those Shows as my husband is (and I'm now getting to rewatch them in their entirety - without interruptions for meals, pets, etc) it's SO obvious to this New Yorker that they chose the most egregious cases to highlight and weren't making it seem as if that 'criming' was going on every second of every day. We KNEW BETTER since we traveled the railroads, subways, buses and walked everywhere around Manhattan at all hours of the day and night. Even a couple of years ago we'd drive into the City, park our vehicle in a covered parking garage my husband knew from his working days then walk a LONG City block or two to hail a cab down to the Village to catch my favourite young harmonica player (a personal friend) and his band, leaving there well past 11p.m. to return. NEVER a thought of 'criming' in our heads. What chickens these republikkkons be.

This WAS Nationwide News. Absolutely horrible. The woman State Senator and her husband (murdered with her) and the other male Senator lay in State in the Capitol Rotunda. I watched some of their funeral coverage. I'm ashamed to say I don't honestly remember their names fully (but I'm just horrible with names as a rule). John Hoffman perhaps (?) His wife, the only survivor of the four targeted - who also saved their daughter by throwing herself over her body, was hit by 8 or 9 bullets! I haven't heard anything about her condition more recently, though. I'm unsure if in their case he fired through their door? One door was shown full of bullet holes. The 'ubiquitous' AR-15 type 'gun'. There was a huge manhunt for this lunatic and his 'enemies list' of targeted victims, which was long!

Yes, I live in Berkeley, but have worked in downtown Oakland a lot. One of the great things about our cities is we have people the city pays to walk around downtown, pick up trash, tone down interactions, and hop on the bus when someone is acting out and taking care of the problems. They wear little vests and they're great! These guys are fun to talk to and they have great skills!

Agree. I have lived in an older SW Chicago suburb for almost 30 years, and feel safe here, or in Chicago. Sometimes I go in on Orange Line either alone, or with a friend who lives in the Austin neighborhood. We are both white, and live in multiracial, multiethnic neighborhoods. About half of his neighbors are black and also are city workers, especially for police and fire. His neighborhood is especially safe.

THIS is why a book I bought AT the gift store IN the Grand Canyon is called: 'Death at the Grand Canyon' updates every so often the number of people who die there. Some die 'hiking' down in the Canyon without sufficient knowledge or water which is typical and something the Rangers try so hard to prevent...others fall from the rim because they come from elsewhere, pay no attention to the signs and must somehow believe there are protections in place (just like Disney) to prevent them from falling into the void. Nope. It's shale. It slips, You can die if you get too close to the edge. One of my best photos shows a dark mass everyone assumes is undergrowth.

My daughter lives in DC. I live in NC, and I take the train to visit her about every two months. We walk or take the Metro everywhere, in daylight or after dark. I've yet to see a crime committed, and I've never felt unsafe. My daughter and son-in-law go out all the time and have never, to my knowledge, felt unsafe. They live in the Navy Yards area, right near the Nats' stadium, so they're smack in the middle of downtown DC. These Republicans are pantywaists. And wasn't Dumpy bragging about how as soon as he took over crime in DC dropped 25%?

Of course, they lie to fit the particular subject- no truth, just bold faced lies.

No credibility, just a bunch of

lying scum.

If Rick Scott is on the streets at night, people run the risk of him picking their pockets.

First and more likely--biting their necks and sucking their blood.

Then lifting their wallets.

This definitely tracks for Miller.

Miller would bite your neck, suck your blood, and deport you.
