He should deploy them to help find those elusive Epstein files, last seen on Bondi’s desk

Fuck, "crackdown" is not the right word or framing here at all.

It's an invasion.

Bezos owns the WaPo and was seated in the front row at the inauguration. Probably a coincidence.

Knowing the crime rate in Chicago I give them 4 days before a shootout occurs involving the deployed soldiers.

I mean... that's the whole point of this exercise, right? Manufacturer unnecessary violent conflict as a means of convincing people that your policy of hyper-militarization is essential for keeping the peace.

If that's their plan, then it's dumb. ICE has been shot at a few times already and it barely made the news.

Yeah Chicago gangs are not shy at all about shooting at law enforcement as it is

Itchy taco chief will nuke Illinois.

I wonder if those guys still have Gaddafi's Stinger missiles packed away somewhere.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'd assume any gang would be. It's bad for business. Much easier for to get away with killing another drug dealer than killing a cop.

Welcome to N Korea!

America is over. No coming back. Done.

I hope the people living in Trump tower have a nice view of the burning police cars. Maybe it will make them think twice about living in this city l.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

It probably won’t ☹️

Trump is speed running the US into a dystopian wasteland

Still happy you voted trump?

Still happy you voted third party "because Biden didn't do enough for Palestine"?

Still happy?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 weeks ago

Where are the trump/Epstein files? I want the files!

Why aren't reporters asking this EVERY SINGLE DAY?
