The Mayor and Chief of Police are quite capable of handling the LOW crime rate in D.C.

Zaos Gonzolez

Yes. DC is not a state.

Jane Porter

We do not have a king, but we might have a Hitler

Zaos Gonzolez

Lol.

Dump Trump

Other than the GOP, crime in DC has already gone down.

Zaos Gonzolez

Mhmm. Crime is actually zero everywhere. I can show you the statistics I made.

Roberthurd1

Once again the president is fabricating an emergency to expand his power when all evidence point to the contrary. D.C. is at its lowest crime rate in 30 years there is no emergency that warrants the mobilization of the national guard.

Zaos Gonzolez

Correct. Abolish government.

Jeffrey S

It's just one more step toward martial law and autocracy. Elections and democracy may be a thing of the past here in America.

Zaos Gonzolez

The federal reserve is your problem.

Nicole

Another distraction from the Epstein files. Release the files. DC crime rate at a 30 year low. What happened on Jan6 when tRump said he didn’t have the authority to call in the National Guard and blamed the Dems? No peace for tRump until he releases the files.

Zaos Gonzolez

A B. Hussein O. appointed judge blocked the release of the grand jury files.

Jeannine Hoeft

This is an escalation of implementing Project 2025... start taking over the blue cities and turn them into police states.

Zaos Gonzolez

Too bad. Democracy voted for it.

Terri Ryan

DC doesn't need or want intervention. We are not Russia, China, or North Korea. We don't want a heartless dictator or king. Our nation should truly be the land of opportunity.

Zaos Gonzolez

Paying taxes is opportunity.

Linda Jo

He is criminalizing homelessness, which should not be a crime. This is the move of an authoritarian wannabe dictator. American military are not and should not be a police force. This is a half-step from groups like the Gestapo and brown shirts.

Zaos Gonzolez

Not paying taxes is a crime.

Phoebe Ottomeyer

Normalizing the presence of military personnel in the streets of American cities is a big step toward fascism.

Zaos Gonzolez

Correct. Apply this to all law enforcement.

De-Tray Weav

No need for them, crime is down in DC and homeless is not hurting nobody. He didn't do this when his fan base was wrecking the capitol

Zaos Gonzolez

Crime is down for those who need crime to be down. Crime is up for those who need crime to be up. Find a different argument.

Toasty

President Trump should be supporting local enforcement, not using the national guard to give out parking tickets.

Zaos Gonzolez

There are a lot of things I could tell you, that you should be doing.

Jeffery Schuyler

Absolutely NOT. Illegal power grab..l

Zaos Gonzolez

It's quite legal. You just do not like it.

Because the trump administration claims to support free speech unconditionally while trying to prevent people they don't agree with from exercising that right. Hypocrites like that have no business trying to silence free speech in others, just because they dislike them.

Max

Trump had nothing to do with his getting fired.

Ken Satterfield

He should have never been taken off! Overreaction to a tragic event

Max

He was removed because he was costing ABC huge financial losses.

Freedom of speech and freedom of choice and to live our options. Putin isn't in charge in US and Trump isn't in control of me!

Max

You just said communist rule is better. That's really sad.

Karla Elliott

It’s about the first amendment. It’s about democracy. And it’s about standing up to this fake king and his corrupt government

Max

The 1st Amendment only applies to the government, not your employee. Also we do not have a democracy, we have a Constitutional Republic. You are not knowledgeable of what you are commenting about.

Toasty

Let the liberals/socialists/democrats have their little echo chamber late at night. We've got work in the morning.

pat long

Should have never been taken off he’s entitled to free speech just like trump is

lordFRZA

We have to protect everyone’s First Amendment rights, Especially if they are different from ours because if we don’t, we may be next on their list

Fred

Key Provisions Freedom of Religion: Prohibits the government from establishing a religion or preventing the free practice of religion. Freedom of Speech: Safeguards the right to express ideas and opinions without government censorship. Freedom of the Press.

Fred

Freedom of Assembly: Guarantees the right to gather peacefully. Freedom to Petition: Protects the right to ask the government to address grievances.

Haven't watched late night talk since Carson. They are all nothing but political hacks anymore.

Scott McDaniel

I’m glad we live in a country where Jimmy Kimmel can stay on the air, however we’ll vote with our remote and NOT watch abc17 at all.

Max

ABC got caught in their own trap. They encouraged Kimmel until the affiliates and the public objected so they fired him. Then ABC's loyal fan base started threatening ABC so ABC folded to the pressure. The affiliate still won't air the shows, and now everyone is angry with ABC. It's called, Karma
