As concerns flare over federal law enforcement agents’ actions in Portland in recent days, the feds are reportedly planning to deploy new federal force — this time in Chicago.
This is Trump…
Relentlessly intent to sowing violence so he can then militarize our country with his Russian & Nazi inspired Trump Thugs even though he has NO constitutional authority to do so!
President Trump and top White House officials are privately considering a controversial strategy to act without legal authority to enact new federal policies — starting with immigration, administration officials tell Axios.
It’s NOT private consideration anymore…
Meanwhile…
Trump’s “patriotism” is Pageantry Patriotism at best and Russo Patriotism at worst!
Chicago should be fun. Ain’t all those tree-hugging hippies who are just going to stand around while the po-po beat on them.
So…what if the mayor orders Chicago police not to cooperate, or even arrest federal agents?
The right wing is always screeching about “Jack-booted thugs” sent by the feds usurping our civil rights, but when that paranoid fantasy actually happens…crickets.
This will end in the deaths of law-abiding Americans very soon.
Bye American Experiment! It was really fun for a couple hundred years!
OT, but wonderful choice…
So is Trump taking responsibility for gun crime in the city now? In November we can blame him for the lack of progress with the inevitable rise in street crime, not at all related to the cratering economy?
Per Pelosi and Nadler this is mere “gamesmanship.” Like coughing while the other guy swings his golf club. Nothing to get worried about. Nothing this election can’t fix or, failing that, the 2024 election. Jeez, keep your eye on the ball.
Less snarkily, the decision to let Barr and Trump have a free hand–and in fact to underplay the seriousness of what’s going on–has lead to this. A political police force entering major cities around the country, looking to make trouble and create a bogus state of emergency. The House must act. It must do something.
This is going to be a mess. Exactly what is he protecting -a statue of Columbus? He thinks the presence of a federalized police force will reduce violence in Chicago? Chicago has 13,500 police officers. 150 federal goons will not make a dent.

Also New York, where the grotesque police unions and the GOP are hand in glove:

Obviously DHS needs some large cuts, if they have so much extra manpower to toss around.
Gee; I see a pattern emerging: Female and Democrat. Chicago now; next Atlanta?
Turnip has found is yes man… as with Bushie and torture justification, Yoo will find some shit to justify The Little Dictator Wannabe.
We just have to get rid of this shit-bum.

“Can you imagine if the country was run like Chicago and like New York and like some of these other Democrat super radical left cities are run? You wouldn’t have a country for very long.”
I can imagine the country being run like the Taj Mahal Casino with our money, since you are talking about imagination.
People of color in all the hard janitorial and kitchen positions being paid less than dealers, harrassed waitresses, angry customers, and you walking away from it all when you’re done.
Not yet (but maybe later). First focus is on Blue State/Blue Gov/Blue Mayor.
They’ll leave the Red States alone while they still have those target lists, unless the Red Govs put in a nice request.
So much for State’s Rights. So what does DHS Actin Sec. Wolf do if Lightfoot and Pritzer deploy the Illinois National Guard and start rounding up DHS agents for violating Illinois State Statutes, like unlawfully leaving Federal Property armed with automatic weapons, arresting Illinois citizens on State property are operating in unmarked cars and uniforms with no ID ?? These guys are supposed to be defending Federal installations under the invitation of the Federal Protective Service. Since when does the Federal Protective Service get to arrest citizens OFF Federal property ?
