This is well beyond pretending not to know things, this is just plain lying in an effort to rewrite history.
DC Mayor attended an Axios sponsored “What’s Next” summit to discuss the future of policymaking, business and politics. According to Axios, Mayor Bowser denied ever supporting the “Defund the Police” movement in her city; however, the truth is the opposite. The mayor even supported the movement as it was painted on the road outside her office:
(Via Axios) D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday said she “never supported defunding the police” and talked up her plan to hire up the city’s police force to 4,000 officers — with 30% made up of women cops by 2030.
What she’s saying: “We and many cities across the country are facing spikes in violence, and we’re throwing every resource that we have in curbing that violence,” Bowser said.
[…] D.C. hit 227 homicides last year, the fourth year of rising murders, sparking renewed debate over public safety in the nation’s capital.
-
- Bowser’s new $19.5 billion budget proposal would hire more cops to reach a 4,000 officer force within nine years, starting with a net increase of roughly 40 officers next year. (read more)
.
Actions have consequences.
Hang around a one-legged tribe long enough, and sooner or later you’re going to start limping.
And the truth shall set you free!
Maybe the truth will set her free from the constraints of being the mayor.
Truth is Defund Police was an stealth way to flush upper LEO Management from the force. By culling them, funds were rerouted to social program and city managers.
Everything cities do is about the coin.
Think it would be better to “defund” the power-over-police position that Mayors have. Obvious that corruption is just about everywhere, but being a Mayor seems to attract much of it.
Rule #1: Follow The Money!
You know, in the ‘old days’, “bowser” meant…..
…still does.
Women cops are good until the “All hands on deck!” moment arrives and you are short linebackers.
I worked in a locked psychiatric hospital in the 1970s. Whenever we hit the panic button summoning extra help from the other units we all prayed men would answer the call. Often the first person to arrive was a stocky gal from the unit next door. We called her “Thunder Thighs”. It was always so disappointing to see her.
In nature, animals do things to make themselves look bigger and more ominous. This in itself is a defense. When you lower height and physical standards to accept women and minorities, you increase the chance that somebody is going to make an attempt.
This in itself is going to increase officer injury. You don’t want a situation where people will think “I can take that!”.
Many minority personnel are larger and more physically fit than the average across the whole population.
That is a lame argument. The whole idea of standards was they were above average. When I was a kid, I knew the height requirement was 6 foot. At 6 ft. I could never be a cop regardless of what the rest of me looked like. I did not meet the minimum height requirement.
Has she been hanging out with Marion Barry again?
is she another-heels up ????
hoofs up……………….
What *I* want to know is how many people BELIEVE that nonsense. We need reporters and pollsters on the ground asking “The mayor said she never supported the defund the police movement. What are your thoughts on this?”
According to any poll about any topic, I’d say the number that believe Bowser is about….. oh, 25%.
I hope in the next election Mario comes in to defeat Bowser … because princess Peach….
I haven’t liked her since she left ShaNaNa 🙂
I’d like a reporter to just flat out call them liars!!!! That’s exactly what these creeps are liars! I hate the word misinformation🤮🤮
Police and their departments are only as good as the governments that administer them.
Good, honest, lawful government >>> police departments to be trusted
Corrupt government, Soros DAs, wokeratis in charge >>> police departments become oppressive to citizenry, sympathetic to criminals . . .
Exactly 💯 💯
I used to think that but I don’t anymore. What I watched during the plandemic was case after case of police officers just following orders and were willing to violate people’s rights for a paycheck (or they believed in it). I watched police assault law abiding citizens for exercising their first amendment rights and shutting down businesses and ruining people’s lives.
You might say,”well those are just bad apples.” Ok, where were the good apples arresting the bad ones for violating the Constitution?
The officers themselves are the problem. Without enforcers, administrations are powerless.
A guy I’ve read up for years that lives in Houston said that the cops were balking at court orders to enforce mask mandates and all that. Depends on where you live, I guess.
this development is largely concentrated a limited to large corrupt cities.
I can assure you that in my rural area (and others in surrounding parishes and border states), police officers were not jackboots, were very professional throughout the pandemic, and were very helpful.
when we went to early morning hours for shopping for seniors only, we had alot of clowns show up who decided they would try and get a run at the stores and also predatory theft in the parking lot. OUR POLICE WERE THERE ANTICIPATING the criminals. It was extremely proud moment to see our local police acting smartly and defending and protecting our most at risk citizens.
when we asked for town meetings to discuss how certain rules would be enforced that were being tossed around by the governor, we got candid open and truthful responses…
when we started to see the crime rate during the pandemic lockdown and the supply chain issues and the predicted effect of all the free welfare money dry up…the police anticipated it and were out in force and patrolling night and day and doing lots of overtime with good arrrests.
when the court cases hit, there were no idiot judges implementing woke sentencing guidelines.
the problem is with corrupt large cities….
in the smaller towns and cities, we take care of our own as we have always done.
it’s not perfect, but I still to this very day do not understand at all why anyone would want to live in a large city.
Exactly. And that model goes for all levels of government: local, state, federal.
Now then, what percentage of US cities are run by leftists? Just as a guess: 100%.
Chicago is a good example of how leftists have “evolved” over time. They were always corrupt but the nature of the corruption has followed the universal leftist drive for absolute political fascism. Only when the police department itself (ie, the rank and file) are negatively impacted do they show any opposition.
In Chicago, they became the Burglars in Blue…
Dark Lies Matter
Catchy….
Who is she going to hire to police her blighted neighborhoods where black lives seemingly do not matter to the residents? NBP?
Antifa types.
Instant Brownshirts.
Almost as if, gasp, it was planned all along…
Good Comment… thanks.
✅️👉 “Instant Brownshirts” 👈✅️
“…it was planned all along…”
Sounds like a plan☠️⚡️
Between defund and vax mandates, they culled all of the good officers, ones that might hestitate to follow an unlawful, unConsitutional order.
Now they can hire compliant goons, that won’t hesitate to do what they are told.
Can you say “Mission Accomplished”?
Same modus operandi as the US military.
Antifa types… I don’t think they’d survive two seconds in a violent city run by criminal gangs.
I’m not talking the pink hat crowd, though some will get in for the sake of equity, mostly it’ll be the genuine operatives and true thugs.
Who says they want competence anyway?
No, I don’t think so. The New Black Panthers thugs have a better chance than skinny anarchist kids who are predominantly white. NBP always wanted to patrol their “communities.” It’s like a gang controlling their territory.
Why care? Lie and deny is what politicians do!
and that is me, I find myself not giving a rip.
If their lips are moving, they’re lying. You’ve got to love how the “crisis ” they created is now a major problem only they can fix. How sick and twisted these evil pieces of human garbage really are.
They have gone beyond “lips are moving =they’re lieing”; now they can lie with a look, a gesture or by inaction.
sadly, sickening, this is precisely how most political actors operate.
create a crisis, develop the crisis, reflect the crisis toward your opponent, promise to clean it up, pump the money well, get more campaign money.
wash, rinse, repeat.
nearly every single defect in society today is a direct result of some political action that created it.
They lie, lie and lie again. The left, and especially the high-melanin local political left have been lying about important and unimportant matters of society and capitalism, taxation, fatherhood, drug addiction, guns, homelessness, and homosexuality for so long that they just smile and nod and shuffle as they do it. All that matters is if there are enough stupids to vote for them and if not, then enough votes to be manufactured somehow. They are never held to account.
She’s just another Marion Barry, whom the press used to lovingly describe as “dashiki-clad.”
For all politician of every strip, with very few exceptions, the TRUTH is such a serious matter that is better left alone. A politician telling the TRUTH like President DJT uses to say it, strategically, is an anomaly. Plus, it is not a winning path in a well-oiled democratic process. The TRUTH is whatever is needed at any given time.
They are all insane! Newsome just announced that ONLY if you identify as some dumb gender number, you qualify for UBI at up to $900 per month!
“A California city is planning to give universal basic income (UBI) to transgender and nonbinary residents regardless of their earnings level.
Transgender residents in Palm Springs, California are eligible to receive a UBI of up to $900 per month solely for identifying as transgender or nonbinary — no strings attached.
The new pilot program will have $200,000 set aside for allocation after a unanimous vote by the Palm Springs City Council last week.”
Just another way to up the numbers of minorities to a majority; to grift more federal cash to launder to all their cronies. That is how the swamp survives.
What’s BUI? Serious question.
Universal Basic Income. When people are too stupid, other stupid people give them money taken from your paycheck.
This morning, Glenn Beck shed some light on all the ‘transgender’ bs in schools…. It’s part of the method that Marxists separate the young generation away from their parents, religion, and the previous generation.
While creating monsters that destroy themselves and society.
In Orwell’s “Animal Farm” the pigs took puppies from their mom and weaponized the dogs against the other animals. The dogs raised by the pigs became the Pretorian guard.
Cities in much of North America are at a precipice.
Previous “ jewels” are in essence near “no go” zones.
Business owners are fighting against a crime wave and municipal politicians that are being crushed with tax increases that far exceed inflation.
Several youngsters of our sons ages ( early thirties) have already moved on to smaller communities and are thriving.
I remember reading an article Sundance wrote last year about his trip to D.C.
Looking at the above picture took me back to that.
What a sad looking place!
They can keep it.. I am staying right where I am.
Cheers!
Good for them, D!! Your boys fell from a sturdy oak. Smart. B
We know many early thirty somethings around here.
Many are doing quite well, we do not know any that believe in the Covid scam.
Many are tradesmen and are doing really well. They learned early to absolutely distrust politicians.
At our recent “ Freedom Rally’s “ here in Greater Vancouver the number of youngsters we ran into that are “ switched on” is remarkable.
Baby Boomers ( I am a boomer) around here are the worst.
The tend to parrot MSM propaganda by the truckload.
The youngsters we know never follow anything preached by the MSM.
Hence the reason Trudeau wants to limit access to the internet and presently has a Bill before parliament to achieve that.
Cheers!
Trudy’s a tyrant. Now that’s stating the obvious. I was unaware of a bill limiting access to the internet(??). How is that supposed to work? I was aware of the bill in Ontario that states (paraphrasing) if one protests, the government, without due process, can take your home. I could hardly believe I was reading that.
I’m astounded and gratified that your younger generation gets it. It’s the complete opposite here. I can’t think of one issue so disruptive to their lives that will make them understand the precipice they are all standing on. That’s where we are. Scary…no?
And learning a trade is perhaps THE smartest thing a youngster can do today. I wish more of our youth would take that path instead of the bankrupting one of higher “education”. Our son got his degree. Has done nothing with it.
Instead he is an industrial HVAC specialist here in Texas. Doing very well. That’s the way to go, never mind working with one’s hands seems to be looked down upon still. Where we’re headed, I think that attitude might change. B
Oops..I have been out and about.
Not sure of the details.
He’s just coked up something to do with “ only right speak “ will be allowed.
Maybe like the new outfit Bidens crew has cooked up.
Trudeau as you know is a Soros Puppet too.
Trudeau truly worships Obama, and we hear is in regular contact with him.
Cheers!
Oh I am sure that’s right. In fact I am just remembering a story recently that they were meeting. Sickening really…that fanboy puppy dog eyed fawning Trudeau does. You can almost see his bottom wiggling in anticipation of seeing his master.
I’ll leave you, D, with that image. Best to all. B.
That was perfect.
And indeed did leave an image.
These 30s conservatives do really well in smaller/rural communities. The only one of mine in that age group that requires constant emotional support is a police sgt with 5 kids. (3 of their own & 2 adopted minorities). The other 2, a hospital corporate director and the other a furniture buyer for a chain of stores both live outside of the communities where they work. All 3 take on the libs every chance they get and have held their own against the ignorance.
👍👍
She’s just following the “Biden Technique”… outright denial of statements made and for which there is plenty of video to support what was said. Works for him…why not her? Yes…all Dems are that thick.
But the lying corrupt media, and the Ministry of Truth, Big Tech, will hide it all from the eyes of the willing sheeple.
Yes, politicians like biden and bowser and a train car full of others would not exist but for the complicity of the Main Stream Ministry of Truth Media
Betsy give credit where credit is due. It is the Hillary Clinton Technique. Also she perfected the art of the blaming some invisible conspiracy for all your ills. Now for old Joe the only thing he has ever invented is sniffing and fondling in plain site.
Joey took it to another level, I think…didn’t wait two days before he started denying. But I’m very happy to give H credit for all things devious and unethical. She is, after all, the master.
Always something…
‘hire up the city’s police force to 4,000 officers — with 30% made up of women cops by 2030.’🙄
If she allowed the slogan to be painted on a DC street, she supported it implicitly. Liar, liar, chino pants on fire!
Sweet little, butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth, Mayor Bowser….
Wow… I can believe I still get surprised at their actions. Just how dumb will they play us… just amazing.
Bowser has clearly seen and now recognizes the value of a police state and that is her motivation.
Exactly 💯 💯
Donna Brazile’s astute advice?
I seem to remember Comrade Bowser wearing a black and red antiFA face mask in a pic on an article at TGP some months back.
Communists lie with ease. They have done it since 1917. She is a good student
You’d think she could come up with a better one.
2030 is an important date for the WEF. Must make sure the uniformed Nazis are on the streets to keep control and beat citizens to death!

Let’s face it, this was all about getting rid of police officers who will protect us and replacing them with those who will be bots for the globalists.
Sigh. They seem to win at every turn.
They win because WE let them. Until WE ALL do something, nothing will ever be done!
Sundance just cheered me up with that one-legged one-liner. Thanks!
Just doesn’t matter anymore. Americans have accepted blatant lying.
Who in their right mind would want to be a DC police officer? As soon as the people stop paying attention, they will cut the police again.
im certain bowser will push tons of restrictions. Can’t say mean words. Can’t call suspects by the wrong pronouns. Then the DA won’t press charges.
Bowser, you made the cesspool. Now swim in it.
We’re about to find out how many blacks will leave the Democrat Plantation in DC this November? My guess is she will get reelected easily, she’s a threefer a Democrat, a woman and she’s black! President Johnson was right!
I thought DC was suppose to be a state by now??
it think they want keep same status as – City of London and Vatican City …….
Another liar for the hangman when the reckoning comes.
Let the lying sow wallow in the cesspit she helped create. Any cop that signs up better know he’s toast with the next Floyd esque incident that gets peddled successfully. Don’t be an idiot let Bowser burn.
Nobody lies like a democrat lies: “I never said what you heard me say! Who ya gonna believe, me or what those Youtube videos document me saying? Just give my staff a chance to doctor the transcripts.”
Inspektor Columbo asks:
“Just one more thing, Ms Bowser . . . Weren’t you at the hospital when Seth Rich arrived there on a gurney?”
wait…whaaaa
Lin Wood interviewed a whistleblower by the alias of “Ryan Dark White,” in early 2021. In this interview was the following testimony:
“14· · · · · · So, it went bad quickly once he [Seth Rich] died.· It’s
15· supposed to be a robbery, and the next thing they hear is —
16· you know, Donna Brazile and Muriel Bowser, the mayor of D.C.,
17· were at the hospital before he was even brought in, and they
18· did have people at the crime scene as well, and they were
19· there to recover it.”

Her constituency won’t know the difference, and that’s who she considers her primary audience.
Those whose hold on power depends on deception will always be able to find an audience willing to be deceived.
Democrats are facing huge blowback on their tyrant agenda … time to change course … but they don’t know it – it’s too late … the economy and the whole country is in the crapper and it’s the Democrats that did all that and the people know it … they’ve heard the screams from their wallets for too long to accept it’s Putin’s fault … Biden did it with support from fellow Democrat tyrants.
Did you ever think we could miss Marion Berry?
See my post below.
Hahahaha. There’s something more absurd every day
She only gets to say this because she knows the media will cover for her lies. America will never recover unless the democrat media is destroyed. Do not use twitter or fakebook. Boycott all advertisers for the alphabet media.
I suppose politicians have always been bold liars. Just now we are awake
Who is the father of lies ? That is where their heart is.
Geee …. 2 more questions come to mind given developments recently.
Are those 40 officers to be hired next year going to work in DC or one of the satellite operations being set up by Pelosi??
Then how many of those 4,000 over 9 years are going to work protecting Congress vs reducing crime in DC??
Bowser is talking about the DC Police, not the Capital Police. There is a big difference.
S P A M
Since when the truth has become spam?
can you connect the dots with how it connects to this thread??
Midterms are coming. It’s not technically gaslighting when the mouthbreather parasitic base has a 40 second memory span.
That is all.
Expect more of it.
We know she lied. She knows she’s lying. Unfortunately the dumb voters will re elect her because she has a D after her name.

yep
Damn bitch set us up! Oops, wrong DC mayor!!!
They’ve removed or rewritten history up to the current period, now it’s a day to day routine.
…And the Ministry of Truth will dutifully shove all their own media reports to the contrary of this new position, right down the memory hole never to be seen again.
“Mayor Bowser is not in support of defunding the police, she has never been in support of defunding the police. And, that is the way it has always been. – Ministry of Truth
Muriel dear, the internet is forever. Too bad for you.
What is it with these liberal/progressives? Don’t they know they are on RECORD verbally and on video saying things like “defund” the police! And think we’ll all forget. They ALL doit!
The lies and deception will increase until the coefficient of “fiction” equals 1.0. This should occur on or about Election Day.
Hussein was in town and told her to do this.
Sorry, but these cops will probably be trained in ‘mall cop’ tactics.
Wait until the criminal is far enough away, where you can’t catch him, then give the appearance that they are doing something. 🙄
