Trump doesn’t have the power to take over police departments in other cities apart from Washington
Donald Trump threatened to send active-duty military personnel into America’s third-largest city to quell what he described as out-of-control crime at the hands of a liberal mayor and Democratic-run city and state governments.
Speaking in the Oval Office Friday to reporters, Trump was boasting of positive crime numbers in the District of Columbia since he seized control of the capital’s police department earlier this month.
He claimed the national guard soldiers tasked with patrolling some of Washington had been doing an “incredible job working with the police” and said his solution for the capital — uniformed soldiers and roving patrols of federal agents who have largely been conducting immigration arrests of delivery drivers according to government statistics — would soon be sent to “another location” to “make it safe.”
Straighten what out?
He means black people. They’re next after latinos and trans people.
I agree but they will be rounding up the disabled somewhere in there.
Don’t have to round them up. They’ll all die because there’s no medicaid.
Don’t forget Teh Gheyz.
Sweet. Can we start freeing up parking spots?
Sounds like you qualify to park there already.
what happened to small government not involving itself with states. i thought that was supposed to be a pillar of supposed “conservatives” that support this tragedy of a government
Republicans are not conservatives anymore, they embraced fascism, and fascists don’t care about rules. They only care about power, the kind that allows them to bully everyone into submission.
Conservatives have always had authoritarianism as their motivating force. Most of them probably have the mental disorder outlined in The Authoritarians by Bob Altemeyer.
This idea that Republicans are now somehow violating some ideals laid out in the conservative movement is a very problematic one. Probably even a dangerous one.

(That’s literally what conservatism is)
Big government is when Republicans arent in control.
Big government is when it gets in their way to power.
I would love to see Pritzker turn around and de-mobilize the guard once they get in to the state.
And then this turns into “JB Pritzker threatens to put ‘national guard’ in the White House to ‘straighten it out’ by removing an orange turd from it”
So a standing domestic army occupying a domestic city during times of peace. That’s blatantly illegal. Unfortunately who’s going to stop him.
I didn’t give Trump permission to send troops into Chicago
Who cares what you did, what are you going to do now
What can I do?
If every military / police said to Trump: go fuck yourself, we’re not doing this to our fellow countrymen, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Stop taking orders from chief bone spur, head of the raping young children battalion.
Gee I hope nobody, or several nobodies, get any bright ideas about how to, ahem…more creatively protest their presence.
Cop should have just laughed and let the guy run away. Unfortunately, he lives in the US and it is all “respect my authority” you need to go to prison for flinging a footlong.
Yeah he fucking looks like he’s dying soon.
What dumb fucking goofball, he meets Putin face to face, gives him that bare naked palm to shake, then a week later he’s like “Oh I feel sick I think I might be dying”.
You dumb shit, of course you’re dying, one of the toxic dicks you been licking secreted KGB venom you stupid dumb asshole.
“Awww I just wanted to kiss a KGB man, now my cankles are swelling with fluid and I lost a lot of weight.”
Yeah bitch, you got poisoned!
Meanwhile the dems are all like “Did ya see Gavin Newsome say something, he’s not like the other Democrats!”
…shiiiiiiiiieet.
My amateur read would be that Trump is far more useful to Russia alive as the credulous creature he is than dead. Letting Vance carry on the MAGA legacy would be risky for Putin’s ambitions, so long as Trump is handily disrupting any hope of Ukrainian self determination, why rock the boat?
Maybe they’ve been fighting, seems like that’s what’s being said. Trump slowly realizing he’s being lied to. Better a stable person than someone who might actually nuke if he gets cranky enough (the big baby). Also, Russia probably just wants the flex - I think autocrats see the revolving door of democracies as a weakness.
Hell, maybe Putin saw the stealth bomber got paranoid and got “the guy” to slap that shit into his hand just incase.
All I know is that you meet that guy, you wash your hands straight away.
You don’t shake his hand in the first place. Why would you shake a war criminal’s hand?
So will we have the police fighting the military? What if the police start starting the soldiers? What if members of the Chicago PD are also in the reserves, will they get called up? What would happen if the city of Chicago organized to the point that the police as a whole decided not to allow the military into the city?

I wonder if they’ll ever release the Epstein files?
So that’s the next city on the hit list
