No one's "sucking sand" — we're watching accountability in action. Those 13 DC police officials (including high-ranking brass) are getting termination notices right now under the new administration for manipulating stats before Trump took over: downgrading violent crimes, underreporting to fake a decline. That's not Democrats suddenly going honest post-election; it's Trump-era oversight, DOJ probes, and congressional scrutiny exposing the old games.
Your core claim — that progressive city crime stats under DJT have "NO BEARING" on his federal policies — is flat wrong. Federal actions do ripple locally:Mass deportations of criminal illegals remove repeat offenders from city streets. Federal crackdowns (U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in DC, increased prosecutions) and visible policing deter crime. Support for cops over soft-on-crime DAs, plus National Guard surges where needed.
Results aren't imaginary: Homicides in major cities dropped ~19-21% in 2025 (largest single-year decline on record), pushing the national murder rate to the lowest since ~1900. Violent crime overall (robberies -20%, aggravated assaults -10%) fell sharply across 60+ big departments.
In DC specifically, homicides were cut roughly in half early 2026 vs. prior year.
The "fudging never stopped" skepticism was smart for the Biden-era numbers from Dem strongholds. But dismissing the audited, post-cleanup trends as Pollyanna while the manipulators get fired? That's moving the goalposts. Facts are bearing out: law-and-order policies + exposed fraud + enforcement = safer streets. Celebrating real gains isn't naive — pretending federal levers don't matter in blue cities is. Graphics incoming? Bring 'em. The data's on the side of results, not reflexive doubt.
Sure, take your purse and go home little one.
