Schumer Will Bravely Vote with GOP to Repudiate DC Crime Decriminalization Bill

Schumer was going to vote, along with all other Democrats, to uphold DC's bill decriminalizing crime.

But after a Democratic congresswoman was attacked in the elevator of her own apartment building by a homeless drug addict and career criminal constantly turned out on to the streets to victimize more citizens, Democrats began getting queasy about once again voting in favor of crime, while pretending to not be part of the Defund the Police/Throw Open the Prison Doors left.

Joe Manchin announced he'd vote against the measure in the Senate, and then a Brave Vegetable named Joe Biden reversed his previous statements about fully respecting DC's sovereignty and announced he would sign the bill repudiating the DC council's "crime reforms."

Democrats were ready to vote to uphold the latest BLM/antifa/Soros operation to set murderers free -- but once it was clear they would not win this one, they began bravely defecting.

Schumer now makes it official-- the New Narrative is that Democrats were always against the DC city council's reforms.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters on Tuesday that he will vote with Republicans on overturning a controversial D.C. crime bill that would have reduced maximum penalties for certain crimes, including burglaries, robberies and carjackings.
Asked Tuesday how he would vote and how his party and how the White House "so badly bungled this issue," Schumer said, "I'm going to vote yes. It was a close question. But on balance, I'm voting yes."

Note that "yes" means agreeing to the GOP's bill to repudiate the city council. "Yes" vetoes those "reforms."

The original D.C. legislation would have reduced maximum penalties for certain crimes, like burglaries, robberies and carjackings, along with scrapping some mandatory minimum sentences. It faced backlash from conservatives and some liberals; Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser vetoed it this past January, but the City Council overrode her veto.
...
Schumer confirmed Monday that the vote will take place this week.

Democrats are fuming about the sell-out by their leaders:

D.C. Council Chairman Mendelson said Monday that the criminal code had been hijacked by Republicans in Congress, eager to create a hot-button issue that would carry through the 2024 presidential elections.
Mendelson said the controversy was designed to put Biden and congressional Democrats in a political bind; by defending D.C.'s right to self-governance, they would open themselves to charges of being soft on crime at a time of rising crime both in the nation's capital and across the U.S., he said.
"This is about using the District for national political purposes," he said. "Crime lends itself easily to demagogic rhetoric."

"If you complain about crime you're a racist." Weird how they keep saying the same things over and over.

There's a delightful little problem for House Democrats. Now all of the Senate extremists pretending to be moderate can vote against the DC city council's "reforms." When challenged in 2024, they can pretend they were always against allowing these "reforms" to go into effect.

But what about House Democrats? They were made to walk the plank and vote to uphold the "reforms" in anticipation of Senate Democrats and Joe Biden all voting likewise.

Now they're out on a limb that Schumer just cut off the tree.

And the GOP will make them pay for that. Virginia's excellent AG Jason Miyares just slammed the Virginia Democrat Congressmen for voting to legalize crime in DC.

Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is slamming Democratic U.S. Representatives Abigail Spanberger, Jennifer Wexton, Don Beyer and Gerry Connolly for voting to allow D.C.'s controversial criminal code revisions to take effect.
"This is one of the most extreme criminal-first, victim-last measures we've seen across the nation," Miyares told 7News. "The idea that you would get rid of mandatory minimums for things like carjackings, get rid of enhanced penalties for most violent crimes, I just find that astounding at a time which so many cities right now we're seeing what has happened when they've implemented these criminal-first, victim-last policies. It has led to a crime explosion and tragically an explosion of more victims. And so, the fact that what happens in the D.C. metro area does not happen in a vacuum -- D.C. crime absolutely affects Northern Virginia crime -- and the fact that they failed at this aspect of their job, I think was very troubling."

Several major crimes have been increasing in Spanberger's, Connolly's and Beyer's Northern Virginia districts, including in Fairfax County, Prince William County, and Arlington County. 7News reached out to Spanberger, Wexton, Beyer and Connolly for their reaction to Miyares' criticism of their votes.
"The congresswoman believes in D.C. citizens' right to self-governance, regardless of her position on any particular policy itself," Rep. Wexton's spokesperson told 7News.
"I believe in local control," Rep. Connolly told 7News in a statement. "It is not the role of Congress or Attorney General Miyares to meddle in local self-governance and silence the voices of 700,000 fellow Americans who live in Washington, D.C. This is just more shameful demagoguery we have come to expect from Mr. Miyares."

LOL. Yeah, just keep claiming that people's unwillingness to be carjacked, r@ped, or murdered by Democrat voters is just "demagoguery."

...
Miyares also blasted D.C. City Council for passing the controversial proposal despite a veto from Mayor Muriel Bowser.
"The fact is just in 2023, so far, we've had 94 carjackings just in the area of Washington D.C., and there's just been this problem with a criminal-first, victim-last mindset and the fact is you had a D.C. Council that passed a measure that was broadly opposed by most rational thinkers, is probably opposed by the vast majority of the Democrats in the House of Representatives. The U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C. said this measure would undermine public safety, but for some inexplicable reason, the very leadership in Northern Virginia in which their constituents are the most affected by this voted against it [stopping D.C.'s crime bill]," said Miyares. "I find it inexplicable that they would so much ignore both the recommendations of the Biden Administration, the U.S. Attorneys and so many of their fellow colleagues to vote for an extreme measure."

"D.C. is controlled by the United States Congress," said Miyares. "At the end of the day, they have oversight and is part of your job. One of the worst aspects we have is elected officials that think and assume well if I have good intentions that will guarantee good results. And so they pass bill after bill that actually ends up hurting their constituents, but they're never held accountable. I don't think that's a great mindset. Nobody in the private sector, nobody in the military, or government works that way. Only those that are in elective office that get away with 'I meant well, this was my intention.' What are the results? The results have been a skyrocketing rate of higher crime in D.C. We're seeing an uptick in violent crime in the surrounding D.C. metro area. It's so that's your job. Your job is to provide oversight. D.C. doesn't have statehood yet. We don't know if that ever will happen. But right now, part of your job and part of your role and part of why you're elected as a member of that body, is you have oversight of the District of Columbia. This is our nation's capital. This is a place that is the beacon and should be the beacon for the entire world. The idea that our nation's capital is having a crime wave that is drawing people away from D.C. instead of into DC. I don't think that's healthy. And I think that's part of your job is to step up to the plate provide the proper oversight and accountability that the District of Columbia needs."

As long as government demands that citizens come to state capitals and the national capital to attend to official government business, they have an absolute duty to guarantee that the citizens they force to travel to these hell-holes and murder-pits are safe.

If they want to allow the residents to murder each other with impunity, fine. But then, they must be required to set up special enclaves where the law will be enforced and the local barbarians will be kept out.

They can't force people to come to these places to be murdered, or have their legs ripped off by a career criminal.

Amusingly, Deep State veteran -- seriously, she's CIA -- Abigail Spanberger has been quoted from private meetings in which she has repeatedly complained that the Democrat Party is moving too far to the left for, LOL, "moderates" like herself to get re-elected.

But she voted in favor of the DC City Council's latest Defund the Prisons bill.

And so she'll be a big target for the GOP in 2024.

Of course, the other 172 Democrats who voted to continue allowing Democrat voters to murder law-abiding citizens will also be targeted.

But there's a special sweetness to Spanberger being hoist upon the petard she kept warning of.

Republicans are wielding a new weapon against Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, and 14 other House Democrats -- a proposed revision of the criminal code for Washington that already has driven a wedge between Mayor Muriel Bowser and D.C. City Council.
Spanberger, now in her third term, has been a longtime target of the Republican National Congressional Committee. It released television ads on Wednesday aimed at her and 172 other Democrats who voted against a House resolution that would allow Congress to use its constitutional prerogative to block laws adopted by the local governing body.

Spanberger is claiming she walked the plank to support the DC City Council's bill, which reduced penalties for murder and carjacking, because it increased penalties for three crimes.

Sure, Jan.

Go f*ck yourself, Jan.

Kevin McCarthy is meanwhile passing bills to force Senate Democrats to walk their own planks. Either they vote with their Woke Base, or they vote to appease centrists voters who have become very, very anxious about Democrats' extremism.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is showing he can play offense against vulnerable Senate Democrats by forcing them to take tough votes, driving a wedge between red state Democrats up for reelection and the party's base.
McCarthy put them in a difficult position last week by forcing them to vote on a GOP-sponsored resolution blocking a Biden administration rule encouraging retirement managers to consider environmental, social and corporate governance -- or ESG -- factors when making investment decisions.
Senate Democrats will take another politically charged vote Wednesday on a House-passed resolution to block a new D.C. crime bill that would lower penalties for carjackings, burglaries and robberies.
The looming vote prompted Biden to tell anxious Senate Democrats at a meeting last week that he would buck his own statement of administration policy and sign the resolution, giving them political cover to vote for it and dodge Republican accusations of being soft on crime.
But it's still a tough vote for Democrats up for reelection who support D.C. home rule and D.C. statehood, such as Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who told reporters last week that he was undecided on what he called a "complicated" issue.

There is another read: this is failure theater. The Democrats do know how to play that game, too.

The DC council could have passed this last year, when the Dems controlled both houses. They didn't. Why not? This is no more pressing an issue today than it was then.

Was it possibly for marketing purposes? They pass it when it is safe to do so, because the Republicans will play their historic role and bail them out of it? They can say, "awwww, gee whiz, we *tried* to be ultra-progressive but those dastardly Republican racists blocked us" They can blame it on McCarthy, explain away Biden and Schumer's behavior as "bowing to the political realities of a divided house" and proceed along as usual.

The Republicans are the bad guys, the Democrats are the hard-nosed realists, the denizens of DC are the unfairly oppressed, the rulers get the status quo and there's more narrative pressure for DC statehood.

Reeks like Failure Theater to me.

55 I'm going to keep on this hobby-horse: the GOP is stupid for trying to end remote work for federal employees. It's a wedge issue between two blue voting blocs: gov employees, and blue city officials.

He went from winning by 20+ in 2012 to winning by 3 in 2018.

His public approval polls in WV have plummeted over the past couple of years. I suspect he's done, and he knows it. I think he's doing two things. The first is being the whipping boy of Schumer, willing accepting the blame for a lot of failure. In return will be the second thing: Schumer will assure him lots of cash for his re-election effort that is doomed to fail. He'll raise the money and spend less than all of it, free to do pretty much whatever he wants with it afterwards.

It's not "complicated". If you don't have law and order, you want have a country. But that's what they want- isn't it. And Democrats are dragging everyone down with them.

210 You know what's hardly mentioned anywhere today? The Russians launched a massive missile attack against Ukraine today.

It has been pointed out that one of the missiles was a hypersonic missile, of which Russia has about 2 dozen. This can be viewed as a sign that they're running low on conventional missiles.

212 The Potomac is the VA-DC border after VA got their chunk of the DC diamond back and the VA-MD border north of DC. The diamond is the MD-DC border.

The Anacostia isn't a border, runs into Potomac from the northeast and isn't much more than a creek for most of its length. Take a spare bike tire if you tour the park. You don't want to leave the trail looking for repairs.

That's the way a wisdom-gap works. They learn how to manipulate people, when this is supposed to be self-rule. Being at least somewhat capable to plan and think, they've given up on self-rule, and think what the heck, why not try rule of the expert, disguised as a sorta kinda "self-rule" where we will throw chaff into the air and constant propaganda to distract from the fact that we are sneaking self-rule out the back.

They have to distort all sorts of language because they want to transfer reaction from one word to another. This means that they distort language, but they end up not being able to use language to say truthful things, because they've given the value of that up as well

I would be happy to move on. First, release the J6 political prisoners. Then, award financial restitution for the time and freedom that was taken from them. After that, prosecute people who lied and falsely imprisoned them.

After all that, check with me to see if I've thought of any more stipulations. Then maybe we can move on.

299 I met a liberal weenie at work who's been living in NYC's East Village for the last ten years.

I go into the history of the East Village, which was once one of the scariest neighborhoods in NYC. How squatters came in and in some ways made it worse (no toilets, so ...). They took over Tomkins Square Park and made it a drug den.

It only changed when Rudy sent in the NYPD with "hats and bats" to clear the bums out. The battle to reclaim the park went on for two years 1998 - 2000. During which time a crazy squatter killed a squatter woman, rendered her, and ran his own soup kitchen in the park for the homeless (ISYN).

So, enjoy your strolls in the park ...

Excellent point because it largely functions based on ignorance. They've destroyed the truths of history by undermining the education system. The people attending those institutions are largely diverted by pathos, and retasked to destroy the rest of society. Nobody is learning the lessons of the past as those are deemed "evil" or other pejoratives. The remainder are ideologues so married to their foolish ideas, and so personally vested in forcing an outcome, they don't care. They simply keep moving towards their goal, irrespective of the obvious truths. It is, and always has been a recipe for disaster.

From the Washington Examiner today:

"Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander in chief of Ukraine's armed forces, said the attacks consisted of 28 X-101/X-555 air-launched cruise missiles, 20 Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles, six X-22 air-launched cruise missiles, six X-47 Kinzhal air-launched cruise missiles, eight guided aircraft missiles, including two X-31P and two X-59, 13 S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles, and eight Iranian-made Shahed 136/131 drones. Ukraine was able to destroy 42 missiles and four drones."

329 The battle for Bakhmut is in the end meaningless. The Russians are losing a large portion of their forces for a Pyrrhic victory. It is in fact a lot of the merc's they hired who are taking the brunt. It won't give them any real advantage and they probably won't hold that ground in the end. It's a stupid play by the Russian military. The Uke's aren't faring well either. But they are purposely trying to bleed the Russian forces. That war is far from over and the only way it ends is by negotiations from the two principles.
Posted by: Marcus T
=============

True. Except the Russian Troops are mostly prison convicts recruited by Wagner, or newly mobilized Russian troops also thrown into battle with little or no training. That is how the Ukrainians are achieving a 7 to 1 casualty advantage. The Russians are literally throwing Cannon Fodder against the Ukrainians and slowly killing off the Ukrainian defenders.

Putin and his cronies do not give a shit. All they care about is the headline, "Bakhmut Falls!"

If you think our leaders would be any more caring about our troops? You have not been looking around these last 7 years.
