Nobody takes him seriously. For better or for worse, he is a laughing stock here and on the world stage.

Will they do so if/when he actually sends the army in to "take control" of Chicago under a self-proclaimed state of emergency?

from within, an insurrection led by a madman and his ideologue henchmen. It's time to pull this crashcart to the curb and arrest all the insane buffoons within.

...and could well get away with it. Do you think the Republican Congress is going to impeach him over the trivial matter of the military "cleansing" of a predominantly minority population in one of the hotbeds of liberalism? And, if they tried, who's to say he wouldn't do the same to them?

According to Chicago Police, as of Tuesday evening, so far in 2017 there have been 182 shootings in Chicago and 38 killings, up from 33 this time last year. The number of shootings was the same, police said.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel, appearing earlier Tuesday evening on WTTW’s “Chicago Tonight,” said he welcomes help from the federal government to combat crime. So does his police superintendent, Eddie Johnson.

“The Chicago Police Department is more than willing to work with the federal government to build on our partnerships with DOJ, FBI, DEA and ATF and boost federal prosecution rates for gun crimes in Chicago,” Johnson said through a spokesperson.

Basically flooded the city with Federal agents as part of a task force to crackdown on the groups causing the violence.
