The Great DC Crackdown

Let's begin with this:

Jeffrey Epstein was a monster and so are all of the rich old men who used Epstein's services in order to have sex with children.  Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster, too.

I have no way of knowing why that obvious reality makes the President of the United States so nervous, but it is readily apparent that he is anxious, almost desperate, to replace that topic of national discourse with something else - anything else.  For the past couple of days he has been trying to redirect our focus to "rampant, violent crime" in Washington, DC, even though government statistics show that the level of crime there has dropped precipitously over the last two years, and the mayor of the city says it is at a 30-year low.  Donald Trump is not a fan of government statistics - unless, of course, they can be used to prove whatever point he is trying to make.  He believes what he wants to believe.

Trump believes that violent crime is rampant in Washington, DC, and his belief is all that really matters.  He is going to do something about that, and he is also going to do something about homelessness in the nation's capital, too.  

Donald Trump is going to clean the place up.

Trump's big push in fighting crime in Washington, DC, seems to have been precipitated by an attempted car-jacking in DC last week in which one of Elon's former Lost Boys of the Department of Government Efficiency, Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, was either attacked in his own car by a "gang of boys" or was attacked when he gallantly rushed to the rescue of a young woman who was having her car stolen (both stories were in various news sources).  Coristine received a beating in the inccident, and Trump, who took the incident very personally, posted a picture of the Coristine, shirtless, showing his injuries.   Two arrests have been made so far:  a young man and a young woman.

Some cooler heads are contending that one attempted car-jacking does not equate to a crime wave.

This morning I saw a couple of stories on the internet which said Trump was fixing to announce plans to "crack down on crime and homelessness in DC," and he has apparently had personnel from several government agencies, including the FBI. on the streets for the past couple of nights.  He has a news conference scheduled for this morning (right about now) where he will reportedly issue more specifics.

Trump's plan for "cracking down" on homelessness sounds as though it will be focused on punishing the victims rather than fixing the problem.  Instead of funding some type of housing for those living on the streets or offering programs that would give them the skills necessary to become productive members of society and capable of securing housing, Trump's plan for "cracking down" on homelessness is, more accurately, to get rid of the homeless.  He has already issued an edict telling them that they must pack up and leave the city.  Winter is coming, so that sounds about right.  Phase II will likely be the government "helping" them to move by busing them off to concentration camps and hiring private prison companies to mistreat them.

Undocumented immigrants are going to have to move to the back of the line, yet again, while America's homeless take their place as public enemy number one.  They will be our new national focus and provide our burgeoning police state with a good reason to put even more jackboots on the streets.

The homeless will be the new national focus - and maybe crime, too - anything but Epstein and rich child rapists.  

Incarceration is a really piss poor way to resolve chronic social problems, but it is very appropriate for dealing with sexual predators of children.
