  1. Missouri has a higher crime rate than Illinois, both violent crime and drug crime.

    Democratic governors should start sending social workers to these shithole red states to combat their rampant drug and mental health problems.

  2. “Flagrant Violation of the Constitution” is Trump’s middle name.

  3. Republicans should be ashamed of how Un-American this is. What an embarrassment.

  5. “We’ll take legal action” wtf. Really? Military is in your streets, and that’s the response?

  7. You can’t really call it a “Flagrant Violation” if the SC (Scum Crumbs) have already given tRump pretty much free reign to do as he pleases, including removing sections of our Constitution already. Shitler and the 2025 Gestapo have pretty much silenced the opposition, if there was any. AND that is our fault in allowing them to do this with only a few of our congressmen actually trying to stop them.

  8. This has nothing to do with crime, this is all about testing and numbing thenpolic and a rehearsal for them to send in the secrete police when election comes.

  9. Can someone explain to me why the mayor doesn’t just order and use the police against them IF they arrive? The mayor could make that threat very publicly.

  10. I hope there’s no violence, because it only makes this power grab look even more ridiculous. They’re not stopping crime—they’re wasting money and getting everyone primed for when things really fall apart. Even if the entire country revolted against the GOP and they had practically zero votes, this regime would still refuse to leave Congress or the White House.

    Frankly, as an Oakland native, it’s hard for me to imagine tanks rolling down the street without things erupting. And there are worse places than Oakland that they’re ignoring, like Memphis, TN. The whole exercise feels like unconstitutional nonsense.

  11. Of course it is. That’s not a question. The question is, do the checks and balances care?

  14. My buddy was just in DC with his family. All the troops he saw were at all the monuments and museums taking pictures.

  15. Again… it’s pre deployment for the coming dictatorship

  17. By what I have read in maga posts, they feel trump is fighting crime (no cape involved). So how long will these occupations go on, because crime never fully goes away. And once trump is gone, would vance continue policy this to become the most hated VP to prez ever?

  19. Maybe if Americans got off their asses and voted we wouldn’t be living in a fn fascist authoritian police state.  

  20. Thank Gawd we still got Shy town, shit… was beginning to wonder if even bean town would stand up.

  21. If you don’t like what I’m doing I’m gonna get my father/National guard on you .

  25. Pretty sure launching a military invasion on Chicago for a mission of cruelty may lead to some criticism from the new pope.
