  1. This is perfectly normal for the People’s Republic of the USSA. Nothing to see here, comrade!

  2. Ordered by trump to distract from his pedophile Epstein situation?

  3. Ah yes the media is going with the “crime crackdown” mantra. They did this with the J6 insurrection. They called it a riot.

    Infuriating…

  6. Memphis has the highest crime rate of any US city. maybe he should deploy the military there

  7. We will not accept the military being deployed against the American people.

  8. This is, what, the 10th constitutional crisis of this administration that no one seems to care about?

  9. California here. As the first target of this bullshit we said over and over again it needs to stop, and it’s not going to stop with California, your (blue) state will be next.

    I don’t take any joy in this being right but PLEASE realize your state will be next. Call your senators, governors, anything you can do. And get ready and be organized with protests. If it’s not in your backyard yet it will be. Don’t wait for it, act now.

  10. Isn’t using the military as police against the constitution? Oh wait, the constitution does not matter anymore. 

  11. Amazing the jokes here. The states is literally becoming a police state, and people are just joking around. What happened to live free or die?

  12. If it’s like what I understand what happened in DC they will wander around the rich areas and not focus on the 10 to 15 blocks in Chicago where much of the crime takes place. 

    They would be better off taking the millions of dollars they are using on deployment and spend it to address some of the causes of crime in these areas like poverty, limited access to employment and education, and lack of other resources such as youth programs and employment training. 

  13. This has nothing to do with crime and everything to do with politics and control. It is a sad time for America. It is also a sad set of events for our honored military.

  15. The president of the United States of America must involve the insurrection act to make any of this a legal deployment. Just know that the party of states’ rights is violating sovereignty because they hate America and the American way of life.

  18. Finally, crime is out of control in the US! A felon rapist and many are saying child sex trafficker and raper is running free in DC! When will the military step up and arrest the felon?

  19. I can’t imagine what Tucker and Carlson would say if Biden was deploying troops to Alabama and Mississippi. And their viewers would be totally right in their outrage.

    What’s hannity saying now I wonder?

    “We like a big government that can meddle in the affairs of states and cities.”?

    God we better win in 2026

  20. If this were what America pretends to be, the military would be met by armed civilians.

  22. If you hated Trump but were too precious to vote for Kamala Harris, this is on you. Let it wash over you

  23. “Crackdown” more like punishment on population centers that didn’t vote for him.

    He’s so small and pathetic. Like a spoiled 8 year old who didn’t get his way.

  24. I guess Donald wants to raise Pritzker’s national profile by giving him the megaphone to fight back.

  25. Fuck every news outlet in this country. All of these dipshits carrying fascist water calling this shit a “crackdown” instead of an occupation of American cities
