Trump threatens Chicago 'Chipocalypse Now' on Truth Social post, Illinois leaders raise alarm

It's hard to categorize. Trump's post is infantile. What world leader puts out such a disgraceful, immature "announcement"? And that phony picture? It's like a joke, but wait -- it's not a joke. He's doing this shit. Never has impeachment been so deserved, and never have elected representatives been so complicit in the criminal destruction of a nation.
All you have to do now is hope and pray the Dems get lucky and win back the House. Then we can all endure another fruitless attempt to once again impeach Trump which will add absolutely nothing to the overall purpose of Congress.
But, then again, the Dems will have contributed to the belief their party is completely irrelevant to governing this country.
 
Chicago is the Gangland and everyone knows it. These murders are quickly removing bad dudes from the play-field. It a Turf War.
I think that has been the belief of the police for some time.
Let the gangs fight it out and kill each other.
More dead thugs means fewer gang-bangers to arrest.
Is that a good working strategy?
 
By which you mean "bragging about it on social media."
Oh, without a doubt.

Nicholson’s character would probably wind up with a cushy spot as a guest on Fox News moaning about how “wokeness” is ruining the military and his “tactics” were the only things keeping the Cubans from taking Guantanamo Bay or whatever
 
Remember when the GOPers said that electing DJT would allow him to stop all that wasteful spending by those liberal-controlled government agencies, that the libs were taking money away from local police departments and wasting it on DEI and CRT programs?

Why hasn't Trump sent local police depts. the cash that he is spending on National Guard units invading American cities?

Experts estimate National Guard deployment in DC is costing roughly $1 million a day


Sending National Guard to Chicago could cost taxpayers nearly $1.6 million a day, analysis says

Why not use that money to hire more police officers?

Uh….no, it hasn’t.

Chicago’s problem, again, is that the big gangs of the 1970s and 1980s splintered into dozens of different factions, each competing for a few blocks in this neighborhood or that neighborhood.

All of them are armed to the teeth, and there’s no real centralized command to speak of. It’s this ten guys fighting that dozen guys for control of a few buildings here; or drive bys being pulled because some guy on one street hates the dude running the gang two blocks south.

Add in the outsiders—- the Sinaloans and whatnot—and it’s not a situation the cops can just use more and more force to fix.

And they’ve tried. Repeatedly.
 
Sorry but DJT ain't no Commie, I would say however, that he is a Fascist
He's end-game commie. The shit he pushes for is the same shit China pulls. That's why he drools over the power of commie leaders like Xi and Un.
 
We have a mentally disturbed freak in the White House and the reps know it as well as most of the rational people in the world. This while the leaders of N. Korea, China and Russia all huddle up for what is yest to come. "Department of War" should be clue enough to get him the hell out of there.

It should be, but MAGA commies eat this shit up. They'll happily make America into the new China for Dear Leader and Party.
 
Who knew the overall purpose of Congress was to lick the butt of the fuhrer?
And on the other side of the ideological fence we see whining Dems still trying to figure out the best strategy going into 2026.
My hope is that they stay dazed, disorganized, and confused over what to do next.
Also, my hope is that they continue to regard AOC, Kamala, Newsom, and Pritzker as possible leaders for their fractured party.
 
You're entitled to your erroneous opinion of how the public should view hundreds of murders committed by scum in Chicago.
Of the public sees Chicago ad more dangerous than places like birmingham alabama ot is because tge public is misinformed, and foesnt understand numbers.

That is not something to brag about.

Facts matter.

Chicago and Birmingham are both Democrat run shitholes.
 
The places with the highest murder rates should be the first priority.
Yes.

All of these cities have higher murder rates than Chicago.

  • Birmingham, Alabama (58.8)
  • St. Louis, Missouri (54.1)
  • Memphis, Tennessee (40.6)
  • Baltimore, Maryland (34.8)
  • Detroit, Michigan (31.2)
  • Cleveland, Ohio (30)
  • Dayton, Ohio (29.7)
  • Kansas City, Missouri (27.6)
  • Shreveport, Louisiana (26.8)
  • Washington, D.C. (25.5)
  • Richmond, Virginia (24.2)

  • Montgomery, Alabama (18.1)
  • Minneapolis, Minnesota (18)
  • Lancaster, California (17.7)
  • Little Rock, Arkansas (17.6)
  • Hartford, Connecticut (17.6)
The number of people killed is more important than the per capita rate.
Nope.

You jist dont understand numbers.

And every single one has a Democrat mayor except Shreveport which had Democrats for 141 of the last 152 years.

Show an American city in decline and I will show you a city run at the local level by Democrats for decades.
