That's the hypocrisy of the whole thing. He is not sending troops to Republican states with cities that have high crime rates. He is only sending them to Democratic states. How can you not see that for what it is?
Obama got a nobel peace prize 8 months into his presidency for doing nothing
I agree that he is not doing that to republican states, but my point was I would not mind if he does it for the whole country.
What authority does the national guard have to enforce state and federal laws in a city?
I know they dont have any authority. My point was if any president send them, it's not going to be the hill I will die on.
You don't see the next step in this logic sequence? If they are allowed to arrest people for committing crimes they don't have the authority to enforce then the next step is....?
Thats why the army patrols the streets in China...
what motive would there be to stop there? There are no rules any more, relying on the republican honor code is how we got fascist federal military forces harassing citizens in liberal cities immune to repercussions. The right, from the scotus to the complicit right members of congress, have any integrity. They are selling you this promise of security but you paid a lot more than you will ever get back.
I guess the celebrity factor. They should have never given it to him.
Correct. Trump has won against two participation trophy candidates (Hillary and Kamela) from the democratic side. Let’s not forget Hillary was suppose to be the democratic candidate in 2008. The elite dems did everything they could to stop Obama from getting the nomination. But the will of the democratic common people voting won over the elitist Politburo of the Democratic Party.
Same reason Dems think Trump is worthy of the prize. I think u have tunnel vision.
Which was ridiculous.
Hardly a leftist, but I would genuinely celebrate any success he has in brokering a hostage release along with the unconditional surrender of Hamas. Can't say I'm real optimistic about disarming Hamas though.
What republican run cities are you speaking of that are overrun with crime? Eager to learn.
Obama secretly killed more people via drone strikes than any other presidency, he is NOT deserving of any nobel peace prize.
So, your premise is, to deal with high crime rates, we should flood the country with millions more people who will dilute the numbers such that, even though the overall crime goes up, the crime "rate" per individual might go down? This is what the democrats advocate for? You want to flood the country with illegal immigrants so that additional crime will be committed (much of it violent crime), but with hopes that the rate of crime per individual will go down? Twenty years ago, if someone pitched that logic to you, what would you have said? If you would have seen it as nonsensical, then ask yourself, "what changed to make you think it makes sense today?"
Based on information that is coming out, his political crimes are far worse than Nixon's.
James Comey.
Sounds like Jackson, MS could use an influx of illegal immigrants to solve their crime problem...
Even better.
And your premise would be to spend billions of dollars to deport immigrants, decimate the economy, create a labor crisis along with accelerating a demographic crisis...which would cause crime and poverty rates to soar
New York and LA were #1/2
Not for the poor I guess
Like every thing else, yes, it’s better for rich people. Stick to one argument: are these cities burning to the ground and over run by violent crime? The stats and individuals’ observations would indicate no. At the worst of the pandemic and post-pandemic economic downturn, when the cameras were focused on SF and the doom loop and all the drugs and violence, those of us that lived there scratched our heads. Yeah, there are rough blocks here and there, as always, but the experience of living there did not match the public narrative one bit. I’d go on a limb and say the same is true in these other so called blue cities.
That is named by Conde Nast and is related to tourist attractions. That seems different than living there. I go there a lot and think it is a very cool city. The bad parts of Chicago are pretty terrible, though and they protest and disrupt at the drop of a hat. One time, their protests blocked the entrance to O'Hare and caused many flight disruptions. As with Marion Barry's Washington D.C., "If you take out the killings, Chicago actually has a very, very low crime rate."
Live there now. Yes we peacefully protest as is everyone’s right. O’Hare once being blocked in the past isn’t really justification for sending in the troops now. It’s all political theater for the people who have never and will never live here.

Man, and we are only 10 months in...what a jokeCircumcision ‘highly likely’ linked to autism, RFK Jr. says in wild new Tylenol claim
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed there may be a link between circumcision and autism — due to the use of Tylenol following the procedure.
Circumcision highly linked to autism per RFK Jr
I disagree. Blue cities attract poor people due to the entitlement programs available from higher taxes on the rich.
Admittedly, I haven't looked at any of that stuff, but does the phrase "innocent until proven guilty" mean anything to you?
Correct. Same liberals who call for Trump to be convicted with the manhattan case. I barely heard the same innocent till proven guilty when the charges were brought. Do a search. Zero innocent till proven guilty by any of the normal liberal posters when Bragg indicted Trump. And it was a really weak criminal case.
His statement, as written is hyperbolic and not true, but he may have been making a point, but stating it incorrectly. There is a widely accepted belief that the average person arrested drove drunk about 80 times before they were arrested for it. I believe this is based upon self confessions of those who were arrested, so the study may not be completely accurate, but is widely quoted. I think the point is valid that many people drive drunk a whole bunch before they are ever caught. It has also been estimated that 10% of drivers on the road on a weekend late evening will test positive for alcohol and that maybe 3% are severely impaired. There is a lot of data out there that drunk driving is prevalent.
