...after Trump's federal troops foment chaos and unrest in the Democratic-run city and state, they hope to justfy the deployment of our nation's military guard to Chicago under the pretext of protecting their abusive immigration thugs from the voices and protests of the people who live there.

...Trump is waging war against Americans, using the antipathy, hatred, and lies that have been directed toward immigrants and black people for centuries as a springboard to exert the exact same control against Americans who dissent from this totalitarianism.
They're literally reveling in this civil war waged against Democrats, as if there aren't other Americans in the way of their assaults; or as if all the citizens of the country want to do is to attack and divide their own communities.
There are Americans in the way of this despotic use of our military and federal forces against us, but Trump is cheering it on like he's fighting the Vietnam war that he ducked out of serving in.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois wont be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

It's depraved and devoid of anything that can be considered national defense. It's literally the security forces that we pay for being arrayed against his political rivals. Armed federal agents, to be followed by armed military troops invading and occupying a major American city without the consent of the elected officials the people who live there voted to make these decisions about their own state and their own people.
Trump is using the same phony 'emergency' justification, claiming an 'invasion' of migrants that threatens the safety and security of our citizens. But he's just kidnapping and jailing workers and families who not only contribute in the money they spend and pay in taxes, but provide the work that drives the economic successes of these communities and others around the nation.
The economic disruption to the country should be enough to condemn these actions, as businesses who were just a year ago complaining they couldn't get enough Americans to fill jobs, lose productivity and struggle to survive.
Trump made clear in yet another fascist cartoon reminiscent of Chinese propaganda, that his regime is waging war against Chicago, a major American city; posturing militarized forces against the people there as if it's Kabul or Baghdad and they're facing the Taliban.
He's a fucking psychopath who should be arrested, then impeached, then deported. Put him on a island by himself, under guard, like they did Napoleon after he was defeated.

(23,747 posts)The image of the military going after women and children will be damning. Also, most American don't like ICE,
But it's not about crime nor deportation, it's about power.
It's about elections and Epstein.
