Mayor Johnson: The People of Chicago Will Rise Up Against Trump’s ‘Tyranny’

[DonGlock26]

except DC's Crime rate dropped 30% last year.

I mean, I know Trump going back to Washington increased the felon rate, but come on.

How many DC murders a year are acceptable to you Joe?

 

[Kondor3]

Actually, he's probably more disliked.

Approval rating down to 37%.

In the case of Trump-Harris... the only poll that matters-a-single-damn is the one completed on November 5, 2024...

 

[Orangecat]

As someone who served in the IL ARNG back in the 1980s, I couldn't imagine a worse idea than sending out the guard to do law enforcement.

And yet you imagined a President Harris and an "opportunity economy"?
Put the bong down, kid.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Actually, he's probably more disliked.

Approval rating down to 37%.

Factually, Kamala dropped to dead last in the 2019 Democrat Primary losing to the white-haired man who thought the idea of his kids going to school with blacks would be a “racial jungle” and was amazed that the US had a black candidate for US President that was “clean and articulate”.

On top of that, Kamala got the living shit kicked out of her by Tulsi.

Except no one was talking about Harris, they are talking about Trump.

Buyer's remorse has fully set in, and the recession hasn't even started yet.

Yes, we realize you need to keep repeating these right-wing myths, but the reality is, Biden got the nomination because former VPs almost always get the nomination if they ask for it.

 

[JoeB131]

Given the Trump economy is currently going down the shitter, I couldn't imagine Harris doing much worse.

 

[LeftofLeft]

You can keep denying what Biden said about school integration and Obama and Kamala Harris poor performance but calling them right wing myths does not change historical fact.

 

[Kondor3]

Except no one was talking about Harris, they are talking about Trump.

Ahhhhh.... but you WERE talking about polling regarding Harris and Trump at the point where I jumped-in for a moment.

Buyer's remorse has fully set in, and the recession hasn't even started yet.

The guy is a lame duck intent on getting-done what he left undone during his first term.

And he wants it largely done by the mid-terms in case the balance of power shifts again.

He's in a hurry.

And he's on a tight timeline.

 

[JoeB131]

Historical fact, Biden kicked Trump's ass.

Probably would have again if he hadn't gotten sick.

No, I was talking about his current 37% approval rating.

He's in a hurry.

Right, he's on a timeline to **** this country and turn it into a fascist dictatorship before his brain completely turns into putty.

You people said Biden was fine. Trump best both Biden and Harris in 2024 on the debate stage despite the pathetic attempts by the bought and paid for Democrat media trying to build the case otherwise.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Historical fact, Biden kicked Trump's ass.

Probably would have again if he hadn't gotten sick.

Historical fact: After losing to Trump, Democrats approval rating dropped to an historically low 19 percent.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Working how?

Nobody's beaten up Big Balls this week?

I mean, the guy has the most punchable face in Washington.

He was running around at 3.00AM in the bad part of town - looking for nose candy.

Not surprising, a lack of imagination being a sign of low intellect.

 

[JoeB131]

Republicans aren't far behind them.

Just tells me people are sick of politics.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Republicans aren't far behind them.

Just tells me people are sick of politics.

Republicans are twice the approval of Democrats. People are sick of Democrats with no vision besides getTrump.

 

[Kondor3]

Just tells me people are sick of politics.

Democrats can continue to console (delude) themselves with this kind of thinking, however...

Democratic policies ( open borders, soft-on-crime, sanctuary, DEI, LQBTQ, corruption, socialism, elitism, TDS, etc. ) are at the root of Democratic Party problems and they're too deeply locked into their existing hyper-liberal platform to see if it matches Reality...

---------

Nowadays they routinely blame everybody BUT themselves for their problems and defeats and divisions...

Nowadays they lack the intellectual courage and honesty to recognize that their own policies and practices are to blame...

They need to take a long, hard look in the mirror for the true cause of their problems...

---------

Nowadays they routinely blame bad Messaging for their problems and defeats and divisions...

Nowadays they refuse to admit to themselves that it's not the Messaging... it's the MESSAGE...

And the response has increasingly been "No Sale"...

--------

A very large percentage of the American Electorate simply don't want what the Dems are selling nowadays...

And the poor benighted distracted over-anxious flummoxed Dems just can't bring themselves to change their Product...

Which is why they'll probably continue to haunt the Electoral Cellar for a while longer...

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The newest democrat mantra is that Americans like high crime. It's not really crime. It's the excitement of living in a big city.

As someone who served in the IL ARNG back in the 1980s, I couldn't imagine a worse idea than sending out the guard to do law enforcement.

They aren't trained for it. (except maybe the MP Units, more on them in a second).

Your Average Guard unit gets maybe one day a year of Civil Disturbance Training. I recall that my unit lacked sufficient batons and face shields, so they had to train one platoon at a time.

The one thing I do remember, though, was a very thoughtful Officer who told us, "If we are out on CD duty, you have to remember that those are not the enemy out there. Those are your fellow citizens, they are damned angry about something, and they have every right to be."

Now, the few MP Units we have MIGHT Be good for the roll. I think we had two companies of MPs when I was in, but my memory is foggy after 40 years. The problem there is that most of the guys in those units are cops in the civilian world, so you are really robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The mayor is thanking Trump for reducing crime.
