Tragedy / Farce?
The farce lasted for 18 more years.
Where are you counting from?
Some minor points of clarification -
- The falling violent crime rate has been plummeting since 2023, and has been at a 3-decade low since before Jan 2025.
- The white-hot hatred between him and DC is mutual, not one-way.
As you were.
1852-1870, but he was president from 1848

Though that oneâs not a trade deal, itâs just extortion. (Not that Nvidia mind too much - they just slap another 15% onto the price of the chips they previously werenât allowed to sell at all in China.)
Although, from what Iâm reading, apparently the president does have some authority to do something like this, sort of, because DC is special*. So leaving aside that itâs only under conditions of emergency, which donât exist, itâs not the most unconstitutional thing heâs done in the last week. However, heâs also talking about doing this with other cities, where he has absolutely no authority whatsoever to do so. Heâs using a case where he sort of has the authority to normalize it for cases where he doesnât.
*Under Section 740 of the Home Rule Act, which gives the President of the United States the authority to commandeer the DC Police Department in âconditions of an emergency nature.â
I donât want to ever hear another gun-fondler talk about how personal gun ownership is so important because we need it to ârise up against tyranny.â That particular idea has been well and truly put to rest by current events.
*Especially since the real freedom fighters will use sandwiches as their weapons of choice.

A topic someone should bring up, to emphasize his bigotry.
Griftocracy? Griftting of the people, by the privileged, for the privileged!
Well, thatâs a certain âpapers, please!â thing. How to prove you are old enough to be out, otherwise?
Even worse! The US would have to pay back money to foreign companies! Who absolutely WOULD pursue it! (If they had any sense of âshareholder valueâ - that thing theyâve been assiduously pursuing for a while now. Some will no doubt claim it is in the shareholdersâ best interests to suck up to Trump and not bait him).
It doesnât repeat, but it rhymes. (History, that is.)
One personâs tyranny is another arseholeâs freedumb. Nobody is coming for their guns, now, so everything is fine. /s?
perhaps they should put an âA.I.â on an ear-bud in his head because they generally produce far less slop

Youths on ATVs? Bah, itâs not bad until you get gangs of toddlers on Big Wheels!
