D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) on Tuesday ordered indefinite coordination between the city and federal law enforcement officials, a powerful indication of her willingness to cooperate with President Donald Trump’s effort to take over public safety in the capital city.

    Rarely I do think I remember hearing Republicans call something bipartisan to legitimate it, but it’s absolutely true that they aren’t lead by a coalition of people who claim to support X but then make the majority of their platform “compromising” to not do X because it’s important to reach across the aisle. Kamala’s thing about wanting a Republican in her cabinet is something I have never heard anything close to from a Republican (they might take aboard someone who happens to be a Democrat, but they aren’t doing fucking quotas for supporting political “opponents”).

        Having one branch of government controlled by the opposition is ideal if your opponent is on the books as your opponent but giving a (admittedly significant) mayoral slot to a small s socialist who is ostensibly on your side? Execute order 66 or whatever the code was to betray the Jedi. To get the point across with movies.
