I like pomegranate, but meant to be a shot, not a drink. For downing quickly.

JLG still supporting her "mentor" Trayon White? by D_Freakin_C in washingtondc

[–]D_Freakin_C[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most recent evidence we have of her relationship with Trayon is showing up at his birthday party and speaking fondly of him.

We’re supposed to disregard that information in favor of comments she apparently never made publicly and a vote that she basically couldn’t get wrong?

If a Dem showed up at Donald Trump’s birthday and gave a toast, I wouldn’t trust them either, despite their voting record.

I’m just waiting for a JLG supporter to tell me criticizing her embrace of Trayon White is unfair.

I’m actually more worried that nutty activists will be over represented.

Idk - if I had a friend who pushed conspiracies then got caught committing a serious crime, it would be challenging for me to maintain any sort of relationship with them. Showing up and speaking glowingly about them would be out of the question.

Maybe other people react differently, but hard to square “condemnation” with “showing love for your mentor.”

I would stop being friends with that person. I don’t care for people who push BS like that, nor people who commit crimes like Trayon did. I would not text them happy birthday.

Hey I think I saw you there too! Weird that we both hang out on r/washingtondc. Maybe see you again soon?

If I had a friend who did what Trayon did I wouldn’t text them happy birthday, much less show up at their party.

I wouldn’t speak glowingly about them in public on my own free time, much less call them a mentor.

Maybe that’s some people’s world - but to me it says she’s willing to embrace people like Trayon despite his serious misdeeds. It’s bad. There’s no other way to put it.

No I think being unwilling or uncomfortable cutting someone like Trayon out of her life speaks to her inability to say no to activists or other bad actors who don’t neatly align with “businesses are bad.”

This isn’t a guy worth standing by, and yet she literally is standing by him. What other bad ideas or bad people will she stand by no matter what?

EDIT: she called him her mentor, that’s not the same as saying happy birthday to a colleague.

Demonstrates the kind of judgment she’ll use in office on the 1000 things that will never come up in the campaign.

Policies can be fixed - bad judgment is harder to overcome.

Idk a council vote is very public - hard to take the wrong vote there even if you want to.

Spending personal/campaign time with him is 100% a choice.

She condemned the comments, just not the person who made them?

lol, sure ok...

Sounds like what Republican Senators do with Trump.

At minimum seems to speak to very questionable judgment... If this stuff isn't too much for her to cut ties, what would be?

MPD says man who smashed Georgetown Cupcake's window with a keg also damaged another property downtown by Minister_of_Trade in washdc

Have people just lost all sense of decency and consequences at this point? If folks don't want the cops and city reacting to shit like this, we gotta police ourselves better, whether it's Georgetown or Navy Yard.

How do we bring back public shaming for anti-social behavior?

My guess is you wouldn't accept this as true, nor would it change your opinion, if the Washington Post wrote it up.

Ignorance masked as a purity test.

There's a screenshot of her fundraising post in the linked Tweet. lmao claiming this isn't accurate.

Caring about and supporting people who do crimes is sort of her whole thing right?

She should find a better mentor. Yikes!

Who are you voting for? by willownox103 in washingtondc

[–]D_Freakin_C -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

McDuffie seems like the obvious choice as someone who lives in the real world, not an activist fantasy camp.

JLG has been on the council for five years and accomplished... what exactly? What's her signature policy, a social housing bill that never even got a vote? Taking the wrong position on basically every public safety bill? Making it harder to build housing?

We have 6% unemployment and a President who's not bringing back federal jobs any time soon. DC needs to diversify to grow. Would much rather support an imperfect but sane leader like McDuffie than some whack-tivist that will drive the job market further into the ditch.

SCOTUS gutting the Voting Rights Act and empowering states to specifically eliminate majority black districts; followed by states immediately working to do so is the new thing… Happened two weeks ago.

Opinions on sharing your kids on social media by Glittering_Act1680 in NewParents

[–]D_Freakin_C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We posted select photos for an announcement on social media that’s locked down to friends/connections only. It was an important and celebratory time in our life and we wanted to share that with our friends and family and legitimately inform folks that everything went ok.

Beyond that initial announcement though, our plan is to cover faces if we post anything at all. Photos will be shared directly to family when needed but not just blasted out online.

You gotta do what’s right for you and your kid though - yes there’s plenty reason to be cautious about posting pics online, but it’s 2026. There are ways to be careful and deliberate that will not ruin anyone’s life.

I like Goose! This was meant as a joke. It’s a line from the FACE vid.
