We have officially entered authoritarian/fascist territory

Memphis , TN has the highest crime rate per capita in the U.S.

Gee, I wonder why they aren't sending troops there.....

More inmates for all of those For-Profit prisons....

Total lunacy.

No clue what you mean. Dont you want at least 1/3 of the population in jail?

Be nice to have actual law enforcement in Chicago.

Be nice not to have a dictatorship in America, but you don’t give a shit do you? You want it to happen don’t you?

Some. Some not. I watch CBS and NBC news, for instance; Our local newspapers and tv are LW. Before you toss out the looney left cliche I don't watch Fox for anything but sports.

Your local newspapers and TV cover a lot of law enforcement/crime stories in Chicago?

And the joke of a Supreme Court sits by idly with its head up its ass.

John Roberts, you will go down as the worst Chief Justice in history.

Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago as Trump eyes crackdown

I wish that they were just "sitting idly by." Unfortunately, they are not "sitting idly by." The Supreme Court is actively aiding and abetting his unconstitutional white nationalist dictatorship. If the Republicans are ever unseated from power, the Supreme Court justices must be treated to the same American Nuremberg Trial that the rest of the dictatorial coterie would be.

They weren't the only sources I mentioned. We also have all the big national outlets.

You aren't going to find reports on CBS and NBC that justify or call for troops on the streets of Chicago.

Remember when Trump first came down that escalator and announced his run and people said we were overreacting?

Yep.

Serious, Id like a Trump supporter to explain why troops haven't been sent to Memphis.
