In reply to the discussion: DOGE's "Big Balls" Was Beaten Up--and Musk Is Already Lying About It [View all]LeftInTX
(33,028 posts)53. Someone on DU called it a "Reichstag fire"
Hello?
This isn't exactly the "crime of the century". It's just something for Trump to get his panties up in a wad. It wouldn't have gotten other presidents in a tizzy and they probably would have quietly checked into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Nevertheless, "Big Balls" got beat up and Trump is exploiting it. He would have found some other lame excuse to federalize DC. Maybe it didn't cross his radar this term until Big Balls got beat up and Trump says, "Oh I forgot, this reminds me, I need to federalize DC"
A hangnail at the wrong time, could have been impetus to federalize DC...
Worse crime happens in DC...

So now, instead of calling himself Big Balls, he has to use a more accurate moniker.

Look at this other pathetic loser that couldn't fend off 13 & 15 year old female carjackers in DC

Not that I'm defending Big Balls, but fighting two opponents, even 15 year olds, is HARD. Let alone three.

"To the point of concussion." Total BS. There was not even a visit to a hospital by B.B.

Democrats should have made DC a state when they had the power to do so. And Puerto Rico.

He made it sound like the woman was some stranger and big balls was a knight and shining armor

Do you know he was at the Black Cat, or are you speculating based on location?

You are correct. I have no idea where he was before the attempted carjacking.

Since he was 19, any establishment serving him alcohol should have their liquor license revoked

Toddlers killed with parents' guns. School children with their brains blasted on the wall and breakfast on the floor.

I posted numerous factual reports about this incident yesterday and several people here said it didn't happen.
