I do get frustrated with Trump’s handling of this mostly because I want my life to go back to normal. But I don’t know what he can do.
.................................................
Your second sentence is a good reason not to be frustrated with his handling of these problems. I think, given the fact that (1) he’s not God, and (2) he’s been confronted from all sides by massive opposition from the get-go, he’s done a spectacular job for all Americans. In fact, I can think of only a handful of people, past or present, who might possibly have done as well!
Isn’t that what liberal run enclaves are all about? Everyone is equally miserable.
“I too was born, lived, and worked in DC for a total of 68 years. The week I retired I sold my home and headed for a recently purchased farm in the mountains 150 miles to the west. But it never occurred to me that D.C. was an overly subdued type of place, so I find your perspective fascinating!”

I agree. Pre-COVID, my observation when taking a work trip into DC was ALWAYS seeing the streets filled with people taking their 1.5 - 2 hour lunch breaks or “slipping out” for a quick afternoon shopping or appointment trip before scurrying back to their government office position. I’m sure that will quickly once again be the norm when all have to again show up at their office instead of pretending to work from home.
I’ve taught in some inner city settings. Almost every child is capable of learning. I was teaching Middle School math. If these kids and families had access to school choice, vouchers, home schooling and the like, they could succeed. There is only one choice for any of this to come to pass. President Trump is like a huge levee, holding back the flood of insanity, debauchery, and evil that is the modern day democRAT party. Evil grows when good people do nothing.
The writer reasons, “The Dems shut down DC - maybe we should get rid of Trump”?!! That’s the entire Dem misery strategy from the start. I read a DU article where Dems were gleefully saying that they would halt everything Trump would try to accomplish, shut everything down, endless lawsuits etc. to the point that when the next election came around, Republicans would “know better” than to elect Trump (or another republican).
If we start giving the Dems what they want, they’ll keep creating misery because it works.
I prefer this link to a celebratory post by Carlos Osweda:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1286067548769923078.html
Osweda is congratulating Trump on his re election, having exposed the Dems as crazy thugs.
So, the mayor’s got it locked down, but Trump is to blame.
That’s about par.
Trump has a load of Deep State/Big Pharma hacks at the top of his relevant agencies and task force, cranking out bogus numbers and data and recommendations. Thay is what is giving the local Dem pols cover.
“Cherry picking”
I assume you mean the sentence I highlighted. Call it what you will. When someone in the future says something you disagree with, I hope whoever you are talking to says, “Cherry picking.”
Who exactly would he prefer to be elected?
I was referring to the WRITER!....................
Exactly.
It’s time for him to double his dose of Xoloft.
This is NOT Trump's fault!!!
Sundance is on a super special secret mission outside the wire. Part of that shtick, I mean mission, is to impress his readers with his daring-do.
I like a lot of what this guy has done on the Trump coup, but he oftentimes wildly exaggerates a premiss while trying to connect dots that are not really there.
He’s been somewhat off the wall these past several weeks all the while viciously lashing out at his posters & claiming he’s flying around the country doing secret, important work.
We “lived” in the WDC area for 30+ years before escaping. It is truly hopeless there. Escape while you are still allowed to do so.
To give you a couple supportive examples of this article’s focus...
If you met someone at your neighborhood’s mailbox and introduced your self, they would often say “What do you want?” There was a saying in wdc...”If you want a friend, get a dog”. Pathetic but true.
And never forget why it is really a dead city. It is because everyone and I mean everyone, knows the criminal police will harrass, attack, arrest you and destroy your life with little or no thought and do it just because they are “following orders”.
Prove me wrong.
