    The last time the Nazi Fucktard was this girlishly giddy for his TSLA holdings he could have sold them for 370 after having fallen from 700. At that time he declared that it was vastly underpriced below 400 and this was a buy signal.

    Just for future reference purposes, in terms of danger and crime rate Washington DC is not even in the top 20 of U.S. cities.

    Variables Affecting Crime
    Each year when Crime in the United States is published, many entities—news media, tourism agencies, and other groups with an interest in crime in our Nation—use reported figures to compile rankings of cities and counties. These rankings, however, are merely a quick choice made by the data user; they provide no insight into the many variables that mold the crime in a particular town, city, county, state, region, or other jurisdiction. Consequently, these rankings lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting cities and counties, along with their residents.

    https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/caution-against-ranking

    Especially when so many cities opt out of reporting, or pick and choose what they do report.

    QoS McHillbilly is nothing if not simplistic and incomplete.

    Maj. Gen. William Walker testified that he had National Guard troops at the ready and sitting idly for hours before he was finally given authorization to send them into the field. Walker said that the delay was caused at least in part over concerns of the optics of sending uniformed troops to the scene.

    You would think that if any city’s public safety was so deteriorated as to warrant invading it with troops wearing kevlars and full body armor, humping assault rifles and grenades, manning machine gun turrets in armored APCs with helicopter gunship support, the crime stats for that city, no matter how “simplistic and/or incomplete” would make the top 20.

    “Optics” then versus “optics” now.

    Absolutely. Miller and Milley failed the nation.

    Since we’re delving into “optics then”, let’s include all of the concerns, shall we?

    Sund told the Post that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the “optics” of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence.

    The House Sergeant-a-Arms reports to the Speaker. That would be Nancy Pelosi.

    Sund says he requested assistance six times ahead of and during the attack on the Capitol. Each of those requests was denied or delayed, he says.

    Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser also wanted a light police presence at the Capitol. She reportedly wanted to avoid a similar scenario as last summer, when federal forces responded to demonstrators opposed to police abuses who assembled near the White House.

    Bowser didn’t like the optics of the Metro PD not being able to handle things if there were pre-positioned National Guard troops on January 6.

    My link isn’t Fox. It’s NPR: https://www.npr.org/2021/01/11/955548910/ex-capitol-police-chief-rebuffs-claims-national-guard-was-never-called-during-ri

    Hey, since everyone is so interested in DC crime stats all of a sudden, let’s look at some current events in that regard:

    DC police commander suspended, accused of changing crime statistics
    Police union says directive to change offense classifications comes from command staff.

    The union claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year.

    Pulliam — the former commander of the 3rd District that patrols Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights — was placed on leave with pay and told he was under investigation for questionable changes to crime data, five law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation told News4.
    …
    The police department’s command staff is focusing on two categories in order to get the numbers to fall, Pemberton said: armed with a dangerous weapon and injured person to the hospital.

    “When management officials are directing officers to take reports for felony assault, or if they’re going back into police databases and changing offenses to felony assault, felony assault is not a category of crime that’s listed on the department’s daily crime stats,” Pemberton said. “It’s also not something that’s a requirement of the FBI’s uniform crime reporting program. So, by changing criminal offenses from, for example, ADW bat or ADW gun to felony assault, that would avoid both the MPD and the FBI from reporting that as a part one or a felony offense.”

    It’s the same type of bullshit that Welfare Queen YLB uses to blame blue city crime on the GOP because the city is located in a red state.

    It’s all the unserious twat’s got, so she milks it for all she’s worth.

    Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.

    On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, “running it up the chain” for your approval.

    When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.

    “ the dietary guidelines that we inherited from the Biden administration for 456 pages long and put Froot Loops at the top of the food pyramid. We’re gonna create a four page easy to understand guideline.”

    Point the first:

    The food pyramid was replaced with something called my plate 13 years ago. My plate is a pie chart. So explain how you inherited the food pyramid from the Biden administration.

    Point the second:

    The food pyramid when it was around, had fats and sugars at the top, which would’ve put fruit loops with it high levels of sugar at the top not the bottom the bottom of the old, not even in use for 13 years food pyramid was whole grains, and other carbohydrates.

    Point the third:

    The FDA government report compiling 2 years of the best available data on human diet was indeed 453 pages long. However, there is 120 pager it was made available for the general public that boiled it down to the more salient points.

    Point the fourth:

    From that 120 page summary there is a four page and a one page consumer version that includes the plate pie chart, and the food pyramid is still nowhere to be found.

    Point the fifth:

    You may recall that, in early June, a former Florida chief justice, other judges, law professors, and lawyers filed an ethics complaint against Pam Bondi alleging she ordered DOJ lawyers to engage in unethical acts, which the Florida bar peremptorily dismissed without considering the merits, stating it would not investigate a sitting U.S. attorney general.

    That’s not necessarily the end of the matter. Today a lawyer for a group calling itself “Lawyers Defending American Democracy” filed a petition with the Florida Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus ordering the Florida bar to investigate the complaint.

    Well, this is Florida, which like Texas isn’t really part of the USA we love, but we’ll see where this goes. You can find the petition for write of mandamus here if you’re interested in read what their argument is.

    Holding lawyers in public office to the code of professional responsibility is a big deal, and one of the best means we have to defend society against a would-be dictator’s unlawful orders, because lawyers are involved in facilitating or carrying them out, and if you can cut off his legal support by making those lawyers toe the ethical line, you can substantially hinder or even stop those actions.

    Let’s hear more about pre-January 6 “optics” and January 6 pre-authorization “optics” from QoS McHillbilly.

    Oh, and here is a bit more about Walker @ 16:

    As the Capital attack unfolded, Walker described how he waited for an order from the Secretary of the Army to deploy the National Guard. Feaver responded by asking about reports that he had considered acting on his own authority and deploying.

    “That did happen. I’m not proud of that,” he said. “… There were people in my conference room where I got so frustrated that I did use some language I’m not proud of.”

    Walker explained how he had ordered guardsmen to get on the buses to go down to the Capitol, but was stopped by army lawyer Earl Matthews who reminded him that the military is always under civilian control.

    Walker eventually got the green light just after 5 p.m. that day to mobilize the National Guard, which quickly rushed down to the Capitol building.

    “I remember thinking, the difference that we made, could have been so much more relevant had we gotten there early,” he said.

    Said civilian control was Pelosi’s Sergeant at Arms, who withheld authority under her direction, until it was far too late. There is too much corroborating evidence that Pelosi and Bowser failed to prevent J6 because they failed on J3.

    Been seeing suggestions of Retrocession for DC online today. Only option is Maryland, as Virginia’s was Retroceded in the 1840s as Congress was considering banning Slavery in DC.(Ironic, Maryland was a slave state too). Still, MD would gain at least one House seat, and if Alaska and Hawaii admission are any example, house gets 1 more seat until 2032. Then if it passes, there still is the matter of DC Electors with DC reduced to the Capitol, White House, and a few other Federal buildings, would Congress get them?

    The Department of Veterans Affairs has lost thousands of healthcare professionals deemed “core” to the system’s ability to function …. The number of medical staff on hand to treat veterans has fallen every month since Donald Trump took office.

    And, of course, they’re lying about it …

    The numbers are at odds with claims by the VA secretary, Doug Collins, that veterans’ healthcare would not be affected by an agency-wide reduction of 30,000 workers ….

    Hey, as long as we include all of the statistics, let’s go.

    Race:
    Black individuals experience a disproportionately higher homicide rate compared to white individuals. In 2023, the homicide rate for Black individuals was 21.3 per 100,000, while for white individuals, it was 3.2 per 100,000, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (.gov).
    …
    Birmingham is considered the most dangerous city in Alabama, with high rates of violent and property crimes.

    Birmingham is 67% black. The state as a whole is 26% black.

    We can do Chicago and Baltimore any time you’re ready.

    Although is there some reason you didn’t talk about the homicide rate in Washington, D.C., which is 50% higher than the homicide rate in Alabama?

    Or the homicide rate in New Mexico, which is nearly as high as the rate in Alabama? New Mexico, which has a higher firearm injury death rate than does Alabama? New Mexico, where the overdose death rate is 65% higher than Alabama’s? New Mexico, the blue state with no GOP congressional members?
