As you may have heard, one of the more infamous minions in Trump's new deep state, Edward Coristine, a walking teen cybersecurity threat known as "Big Balls," was recently assaulted in Washington, DC; I guess it can't rain all the time. We'll get into the backstory behind this incident below, but what's important here is that in a move eerily reminiscent of recent DHS propaganda, Trump and billionaire shitlord Elon Musk have both seized on the moment to call for the federal takeover of another Democrat-run city; this time however, the nazis are coming after Washington, DC and some combination of a GOP-controlled Congress and a 6-3 fascist high Supreme Court add some weight to the threat.

Trump threatens to ‘federalize’ DC after attack on Doge staffer

"Donald Trump is threatening to strip Washington DC of its local governance and place the US capital under direct federal control, citing what he described as rampant youth crime following an alleged assault on a federal employee who worked for the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge).

In a post on his Truth Social platform, the president said he would “federalize” the city if local authorities failed to address crime, specifically calling for minors as young as 14 to be prosecuted as adults.

“Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control,” Trump wrote. “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run.”

As I alluded above, I'm honestly having problems with Coristine's story about what happened because it sounds like the kinda cracker dipshit propaganda nazis and Fox News opinion-havers conjure up to describe "crime-invested inner cities" that just happen to have large African American populations. According to Bill Balls here, a group of about ten youths were harassing and threatening to carjack a woman (who it turns out he is romantically involved with, although this article doesn't mention it) and he rushed in to save the day, wherein he was savagely beaten. As someone who grew up in one of the most infamous "crime-ridden urban hellscapes" in America, none of that sounds like a thing that actually happened to me, and it certainly touches all the major white nationalist propaganda points: including roving packs of out of control (presumably minority) teens, threatening "our women," and doing "car-jackings" in our streets. Greg Gutfeld couldn't have written it better, which makes me wonder if Corstine isn't selling a lie. What we do know is that he was beaten up by teens; he filed a police report with some delightful photos, and 2 fifteen year old kids have already been arrested.

More importantly however, we also saw the Trumpenreich, including the Swine Emperor himself, repeat a pattern of seizing on, and exaggerating a random criminal incident, to justify consolidating power over a local government that by and large, opposes his fascist agenda. In New York, it was an off duty ICE pig getting shot in an unrelated robbery, that caused border Czar Tom Homan, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to conjure up images of "urban" crime-infested terrorscapes to argue that the Gestapo had a right to take over policing in Democrat-run cities full of visible minorities and people who emphatically did not vote for Donald Trump to be their dictator. As I pointed out, the actual criminal incident, a robbery gone wrong that had virtually nothing to do with immigration enforcement, in no way had any relation to the Trump regime's attempts to further its fascist agenda to transform America in a militarized police state under the absolute rule of Dowmarket Mussolini. Now once again, we see the exact same propaganda line, being deployed in a very similar way and in response to yet another random crime, to prosecute a longstanding goal of the Trumpenreich regime; specifically seizing control of the most politically connected city in America that would absolutely never vote for his nazi political party - Washington DC.

So, can Trump and the Pork Reich actually get away with this? Well, it's complicated. On one hand, it's probably illegal, but on the other hand that didn't stop Trump from invading LA.

"Trump’s threat could theoretically take several forms. The constitution grants Congress broad authority over the federal district, though completely suspending local governance would probably require congressional legislation. Trump could also deploy federal law enforcement officers or national guard troops under executive authority, as he did during 2020 protests when federal forces cleared Lafayette Square outside the White House over local officials’ objections."

So, the question is, if Trump just "does it" - is anyone actually going to stop him? I can't say I'm confident the Robert's Court will be coming to the rescue if so.
