  2. This is exactly like Putin. Go in and take assets away from companies/people then parse them out to your rich friends to profit from.

    Follow the money. They’ll sell management to a crony and get a big fee. Union Station will raise every price it can, and add something like entrance fees just to walk in

  7. They simply want to control a major means of transportation into and out of DC. They want to control who comes in or leaves and when.

  10. "“He wants Union Station to be beautiful again. He wants transit to be safe again. And he wants our nation’s capital to be great again. And today is part of that,” Duffy said."

    Incoming tacky gold leaf on everything

  11. President Trump takes control over Union Station after determining that urinal cakes did not taste goodly.

  12. Day after day, more pieces of the US become instruments of the fascist regime.

    Just like Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

    One might think "we the people" would be pushing back hard against a fascist dictatorship.

    One might be wrong, it seems?

  13. TRUMP: meddles where help isn’t needed. Creates crisis and chaos where there is none. I hate all the people who are enabling this monster.

  14. He, and the national GOP crime syndicate, will march forward with their authoritarian coup until they’re stopped.

  15. Imagine trying to get republicans to go along with a plan to take something away from a for-profit corporate entity and let the government control it. Oh wait

  16. Hey, Republicans: is this the communism you warned us about? State controlled entities and troops deployed in cities that are out of compliance? Your fear mongering has finally come true.

  18. I took a train twice from Union Station.

    Twice I was able to look around extensively because of too early arrival.

    Twice I had nothing to complain about. A clean, well-organized train station with a magnificent hall.

    The government is inventing problems.

  19. Someone explain to me like I’m 5, how does taking over a train station help reduce crime. The sob is totally out of control.

  20. 'Sec Duffy echoed Trump, who said he wants $2 billion from Congress to beautify DC as part of his crackdown on the city.'

    I suspect that if Congress gave DCPD and Capitol Police, along with DC infrastructure, a $2 BILLION budget increase, all this would have been solved without the military.

  21. “By reclaiming station management, we will help make this city safe and beautiful at a fraction of the cost,” Duffy said…

    Meaning they’re putting the troops on janitorial duty now? 🤨 This is such a fucking embarrassment.

    WASTE. FRAUD. ABUSE. SEND THE TROOPS HOME.

  22. "Local police department statistics show violent crime in Washington has declined in recent years, but Trump has countered, without offering evidence, that the numbers were fudged."

    No, he *lied. You can say it, AP, he lied.

  23. He’ll be personally directing the cleaners soon with his desire to control everything.

    The poor workers will have the orange beast berating them for some lingering pebble dash in trap 2.

  24. Pay attention. Donald Felon Trump is the greatest threat to world stability and peace. Trump is a lunatic, sadistic, narcissistic and arrogant old man who has learned nothing good from old age. Trump thinks he can rules the whole world. Wake up world, while there's still time.

  25. Watch him destroy everything he touches. The clean-up will be long, painful and expensive. Just because the oligarchy doesn't want to pay taxes and won't follow reasonable rules to keep the environment safe and pay fair wages to the working class poor.
