President Donald Trump took unprecedented steps toward federalizing Washington, D.C. on Monday, saying it’s needed to fight crime even as city leaders pointed to data showing violence is down.

Let’s be honest, he probably has to provide the same level of evidence many state and local governments did when covid was well on its way out but kept the emergency going for political reasons.
Let’s be honest, you’re either being disingenuous about current Covid infection rates, or a moron, because it’s fully endemic now.
I live in the real world unlike some people who think covid is going to magically disappear if we have everyone stay home and get vaccinated across the entire planet. Im glad you agree that it’s fully endemic now, that is the reality of the situation. Continuing to declare an emergency over it really would be pointless.
FYI “endemic” and “on its way out” do not mean the same thing.
COVID used to be about 2% fatal, which is huge. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_on_cruise_ships
Now, as predicted by scientists right at the start, it’s at least 10x less fatal, about on par with a particularly serious strain of flu.
Waiting it out saved A LOT of deaths. Countries with better lockdowns have significantly fewer deaths per capita. Some countries like New Zealand who responded both very quickly AND very seriously were able to benefit from far fewer restrictions as well
The vaccines also reduced severity, and transmissibility of the virus, both at the time as well as now, and they’re still medically recommended for at risk groups.
There was an emergency, the steps we took helped everyone. No one gained anything significant politically except anti-vax fascists who are now running the country.
We on the other hand benefited from fewer fatalities, the first actual progress towards sustainable living with work from home for people who can. We finally made progress on climate goals. We showed the power of collective action through government benefits and healthcare for all when it came to vaccines at least in the US.
It’s too bad we’re working away from those improvements so quickly.
I don’t think you do live in the real world Mr. Atticus 88th.
COVID deniers are so stupid
And what fucking possible benefit would that be? Did fox news ever tell you what it was all for? Probably not or you’d be regurgitating that with it.
Read a godamn book
I used to want to tolerate people like you that are willfully ignorant but you all have caused so much godamn suffering and still don’t even know it. If you had a brain you’d never go outside again because you’d be too fucking ashamed.
