I'll tell y'all something frigging weird:

There is one city, my town of origin, which Orangina hasn’t mentioned: Philadelphia. We have a ton of shootings, plenty of street and retail crime, assaults, and the place really is a mess. Not a word. Black female (his favorite) mayor: not a word. A city council historically consisting of, I’ll be polite, sub-par individuals. Not a word. No call for federal troops.

I’m perplexed. Maybe they forgot about us.

Or: maybe they realize what would happen if they showed up. Might be a problem.

1. I'm from Philly and yes it would be a problem. n/t

2. The Ice boys prefer taking down unarmed workers, women and children thank you very much.

3. Four Seasons Landscaping territory. Can't touch them.

Cradle of Liberty. Don't want that idea mentioned when you're going full MAGA.

Malcolm Nance home town. Surely don't want to tussle with him.

Room to Move history. Police have already bombed their own city, how did that turn out?

He has a legitimacy deficit in Philadelphia. And several good reasons to stay away.

4. tRump views Penn as a swing state and is avoiding riling up voters there. . . . . nt

11. That's exactly it

This is Dummpy's revenge tour, he is going to punish states that didn't vote for his self-proclaimed awesomeness.

5. I don't think any Pennsylvania National Guard members are available for mobilization ...

... until hunting season is over.

6. That's funny and likely true, actually.

7. "what would happen" is what they want, no?

[LudwigPastorius]

8. "...maybe they realize what would happen if they showed up."

They don't call it the City of Brotherly Shove for nothing.

Exhibit A: Pelting Santa Claus with snowballs and beer

10. Jesus H:

That was in like 1964 and it wasn’t Santa: the official Santa at the Eagles game couldn’t make it do they got this fan who had dressed up as Santa at the game to walk out. He was making a fool of himself because he was inebriated and a few fans threw snowballs at him.

Yeah we are a shot and a beer town, but for years we made PA blue and elected Presidents and Senators who helped the residents of the Commonwealth, even the Republicans in the old days

9. Pennsylvania voted for him. DC, California, Illinois, and Oregon did not.
