President Trump Holds a Press Conference

I do know that as I have lived under socialism for three decades. They lock them up!

Von Hayek, the American 1974 Nobel Laureate in economics in his 1943 worldwide bestseller "The Road to Serfdom:" "In its never ending strive for more and more control of the society and its citizens, socialism must by definition abridge the personal liberties of its subjects and will not hesitate to use terror to do it."

My own wife at a tender age of 17 was one of those 205,000 innocents in communist Czechoslovakia who was kept and physically and sexually abused in a solitary confinement for 6 months only to be sentenced to years of hard prison labor based on trumped up charges of subversion and treason.

Socialist Stalin did it, at a cost of 40 million innocents who perished in the Gulag, socialist (1) Hitler did it by killing 20 million.

Lenin, Collected Works, Russian Edition, page 156: "Terror must remain an important part of socialist revolution." And elsewhere: "Maximilien Robespierre was a Bolshevik before his time." As you know, Robespierre unleashed the Reign of Terror during which 40,000 innocents were executed in only 18 months and which devoured him as well. (This is what the poor French regard and celebrate every July 14 as the beginning of their "freedom.")

(1) This a note for those who would slam me for saying the above as they harbor touchy-feely opinion of socialism, believe that it is not communism though the decadent theory of "Scientific Socialism" that was drilled into us at the university defines it as the first stage of communism, or falsely believe that fascism was not socialism in spite of the writings of Messrs Hitler and Mussolini and in spite of its name - National Socialist Workers Party of Germany - and was a bosom buddy, ideological soul mate and a contractual ally of the Soviet Bolsheviks under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of Aug 1939 and through the Blitz when Hitler was bombing London and Stalin supplied him with oil and metals for military production. Only when Hitler attacked his "ally" Stalin on June 22, 1941, Stalin ordered the com parties of the world to start his tremendously successful "anti-fascist" campaign of separating his "correct" brand of socialism from Hitler's "wrong" brand of socialism.

We are reaping the fruits of this successful Stalin's anti-fascist campaign even today and that is the reason for the confusion.

Thus, I will not be responding to any mistaken claims to the contrary as I am talking from personal experience with these regimes and not on the basis of Google, AI, Encyclopedia Britannica and such where the information to the contrary was put by the equally uniformed.

The wiki data can be ranked per overall violent crime total, as a number per 100,000 residents. D.C. doesn't crack the top 20 (#25). I have been to DC many times and been in both good parts and bad, walked around at night, alone and with high-class ladies (ahem) and I never really felt afraid. The place is crawling with cops. The recent case of "Big Balls" nearly getting carjacked - the cops were on the scene in < a minute. Idk where else in America there's that kind of response. Most places, you're lucky if they show up in <15 minutes. If you're talking property crime only, I'd say the majority of places they won't bother to send anyone at all.

You want to be scared, try walking around at night in downtown or certain areas in Memphis, NOLA, Houston, or Jackson, MS. You will be fucked with if you do that enough times.

Really, though, there are bad parts of every city in America and it's easy enough to avoid them. And the cops are at least much more present in the cities, for what it's worth. In lots of rural areas of the US, you're pretty much on your own. The constabulary is woefully understaffed and underfunded and spread out over some large areas. (Many US counties are > 15,000 sq. mi. - take a couple of those and you've got an Austria or a Portugal.)

The US is suffering under a long-running epidemic of meth (and now fentanyl) use. The tweakers are desperate and will look to steal anything they can. They especially love metals, which can be sold quickly at scrap yards. If you have a construction site where you have to store any metals in quantity (rebar, pipe, fixtures, fencing, etc) you need to have armed guards onsite 24/7, or the tweakers will be there....

demands the homeless leave Washington, cause these homeless are chilling on their couches watching the news.

"Land swapping going on" "To the good, for the good of Ukraine, good stuff, not bad stuff, also, there's bad stuff, for both, so there's good and there's bad" - POTUS

the world is watching a complete moron speak complete rambling gibberish. What an embarrassment to our country. And the fact that people believe could even elect this clown is even more shameful.

so let me see if i got this straight

so fukhead reagan created the homelessness problem by kicking people out of mental institutions and subsidized housing and now another fukhead wants to incarcerate and institutionalize them again LOL

brilliant maga LOL

Yeah well not everyone has the physique of Arnold Schwarzenegger straight out of The Terminator.

Yes, family vacation last year, 5 days. Walked 15k plus steps each day, also rode Lime bikes and took public transportation. Stayed south of the "rectangle" even (worse area than northside) right across from NASA. Walked to wharf and back from there also, all times of day and night, walked the entire main areas. Saw all of the sites while doing so. no problems whatsoever. Trump is a psychopath, and his maga cult cannot be more blindly brainwashed.

Martial law in DC is a test case for the same in US "blue" cities.

these stories are not really news anymore, often go unreported...

im beginning to suspect the right wing deep state rhetoric was just a wet dream of theres cause if it was real they would have taken care of the imbecile by now since its been 7 months already

Dude should probably take a stroll in downtown portland, OR if he wants to see a real problem…

I have never been to Washington, so I have no idea how bad the problem is.

But comparing Trump's actions to possible actions by two of the least democratic societies on the planet is a very low bar. The only way this is valid is if you've given up and accept, or want, a dictator. There's a certain amount of indoctrination that's gone on to take an essentially open society, and get folk to say nonsense like this.

Have any of you ever been to DC? If so, did you go for a walk?

I wonder how China or Russia would handle the drug and homeless problem?

Epstein list anyone?

Has Trump learned nothing? If Putin is watching this he must be on the floor laughting.

Showmen are for circus's.

great president.

Come on, Trump, let us make some money

tnx for information.

lmao. he is funny and cool

Trump any conference shock the market slightly

The market really is waiting a clue a small clue

it's about homeless and criminals in DC, markets don't care about that.

WRONG

Whatever you say, Trump is the greatest showman.

Our POTUS clown folks and his cronies leave the presser like a gaggle of chicken S$*@# - without answering any questions. Cowards

Who is the blonde woman? Melania must be on alert with her...
