Any theories on why Trump is sending troops?

Address my arguments





If Federal Troops can bring crime down, what is your beef? Federal Troops can stand down as soon as Democratic Mayors get serious
Democratic mayors will get serious when budgeted funds for law enforcement are restored.

While they wait Trump should not hesitate to do the job
 
It can also be reduced to a minimum





That's the problem. Democrats spend too much money for what they have to show for it





To Chicago. Federal Troops have been used when Mayors or Governors will not enforce the Law
Crime is not a moral condition. It's defined by and is a function of law and enforcement. We can reduce crime overnight be ending the drug war and decriminalizing substance abuse. No fascism or military occupation needed.

That is one way of reducing crime. And I am all for decriminalisation. Its Prohibition all over again, as far as I am concerned. Yet, it is the fact that Drugs have not been decriminalised. Democratic Mayors cannot go soft on drug crimes because they may not believe in the prohibition on drugs

That's a lot of words for "unicorns".
 
You lack confidence in yourself
You keep saying shit like this while you can't argue your way out of a paper bag.

For all of your puffery and machismo imagery, you crumble so quick. you hide your eyes from the argument, you make no counter....and then it ends in ad homs like this.

It is so WEAK, so frail, so thin.

Is this your grand opus? your manifesto? I mean, wow.....something could be something else.


mind blowing.

Again, what a nugget!

Oooh, you capitalized "law', that means something deeper I'm sure.

Your responses are so amazing in their complexity, I need some time to fully analyze them.

give ma a moment....


nah, its all shit.

Yawol, Kapitan LOL
 
He wants to elicit a violent response so he can justify invoking martial law.
 
Do you think crime is under control in Chicago?
Why all the malfunctions with your posts? You go on and on about crime, but when others here, including me, try to get you to define exactly what “under control” means, you can’t or you refuse to define what is an acceptable rate per 100,000 residents because there is no such thing as zero crime. Then you change course and cite the number of homicides. So, in your world, crime is now distilled down to homicides, like the quote below?
Do you think 573 murders in Chicago last year is crime under control?
In the chart I was looking at that ranked the 2024 top ten cities for crime, there was a top ten for violent crimes like homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Guess what city didn’t make the list? Chicago. Then, we get the list of property crime rate, and once again, Chicago isn’t on it.


If your justification of sending in National Guard troops into Chicago is because of the number of homicides alone, then what’s your excuse for sending them into Portland? Oh, that’s because of Portland’s high property crime rate. Make up your mind. Trump and MAGA want it both ways- because of the homicide rate in one city, but the property crime rate in the other.

I guess the other violent crimes don’t matter, otherwise the very first place that the National Guard troops should have been illegally sent to would have been Memphis, in red state Tennessee.

The matter is the Generalissimo and his OberKommando Miller being hellbent to militarize blue cities with their focus on blue states and their electoral college count. With the control of voting in the '26 midterm voting in those very places. Your posts are hiding from this.
 
Do you think 573 murders in Chicago last year is crime under control?
It's not for the armed forces to address.

Trump, Musk and others are amputating federal funds to include law enforcement.

The Bloodthirsty Generalissimo wants his own "solutions" instead which are military. Your posts avoid this.

There you go again.

MAGAonenote.

The trend is downward but the Bloodthirsty Generalissimo cares not. He has his hellbent purposes as do MAGAs who are one and the same with the Generalissimo.

Trump and the Asshat Kegseth were a disaster at Quantico don't you know.
 
Does this look like the National Guard is cooperating with the police. Does this look like the National Guard included state and local politicians and addressed causes? Does this look like the National Guard has control of the situation.

Yes, I remember this vividly.

The nation was in shock. The mood was like the assassinations of Pres. Kennedy, the Rev. Dr. MLK Jr, Sen. Robert Kennedy of NY.

The Ohio Army National Guard had shot and killed unarmed students on their campus demonstrating against war. They got away with it because the Republican Gov. Rhodes had declared Martial Law on the campus only. It was a setup.

This coincided with my ETS out of the Army (Infantry). I would have entered the National Guard by personal choice except for the controversial nature of military service at the time. I say "controversial" as a polite word. After this a number of citizens were spitting on Soldiers.

Now we have the Bloodthirsty Generalissimo Potus / Commander in Chief. The civilian government has gone retrograde. MAGAs luvit.

I'm not in the market to buy any bridges thx anyway. Don't know where you might have got that notion to begin with.

The Generalissimo is targeting blue cities and in blue states in particular toward the electoral vote count in '28. Trump who uses the Constitution as toilet tissue will have arranged the voting and the counting to become Dictator-Tyrant for what's left of his miserable life.

However, Your Generalissimo needs to assure his absolute control of Congress after the '26 midterm voting in congressional districts and in certain states. So fixing the voting and the count in that election must needs be to come first.

Trump needs the armed forces both NG and active duty to do this -- which is dubious at best and if at all. Because once the armed forces see the failure of the congress, the media, the courts and the voters to stop PutinMAGATrump it will know what it has to do instead.
 
I see his actions as protecting the people in ways that the blue cities involved refuse to.
