Most likely the orange turd forgot about Chicago after the latest stroke.

"Where shall we deploy the Guard next?"

"Mmmgggugahah."

"Minneapolis? Memphis?"

"Wharblgarbl."

"Yes Mr President."

so they're all just cool with him continuing to deploy the military against his own population again and again, cool

It is what Charlie would’ve wanted. Brutally repressing people’s rights.

Doesn't Memphis have a very high black population? Based on how conservatives have been these past couple days, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

That, and the state has a Republican governor who will help Trump put the boot in.

How to tell me Memphis has a black mayor without telling me Memphis has a black mayor

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also I think even the WH wants to avoid the optics of one state's National Guard blocking another. Which is a possibility in a Democrat-run state. This is making me nervous because I'm in adjacent Arkansas with very cooperative Sarah Sanders and the high-crime-rate LIttle Rock... fuck me

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 6 days ago

He only wants Democratic cities in Democratic states. Arkansas already surrendered easily, and is already under voluntary MAGA control.

The fuck did Tennessee do?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago

needs another distraction from epstein, after the KIRK shooter turned out to be right winger, so not useful anymore.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 67 points 1 week ago (4 children)

They agreed to invite the troops

Chicago was going to resist officially, legally, and physically on the street. So Trump chickened out and picked a city that would accept a troop presence

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Besides being cowards the few magats with brains also realize that they do not actually want all out war.

If they start shoving large parts of the country, then those parts are going to shove back. It's significantly easier to keep going at slower pace that invites less resistance. They're going to work towards disposing smaller circles of groups they dislike until they feel comfortable enough to deal with the rest of us.

I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with Memphis being 60% black.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

trump is an expert on hating black people.

Dipshit couldnt find chicago or memphis on a map.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Dipshit only Sharpies shit on maps. In a week he will be screaming for help with soiled grown up undergarments. I hope his dumb f—k kids witness something gross and wretchedly disgusting happen to their dad. Just not murder. That is bad. A poor ass mf’n hard working American can certainly pray for things without committing to the act. I like this approach to spirituality.
