"If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!" - President Donald Trump, January 24, 2016 at 6:25 PM Pacific.

If DJT doesn’t use troops, which I think would be a crying shame, he will still have lots and lots of Federal prosecutors available. All it takes is a little initiative and gangbangers will be finding themselves in ADX Florence.

We forget that the law abiding in Chicago can’t freely walk down the street without threat of extreme violence, and it’s increasingly evident that the criminals and local politicians are in more or less open collaboration. That’s an environment ripe for disaster. Hell, it’s already a disaster.

EDIT: I'm not saying 'lie back and think of Lady Liberty' mind you, just be careful.

I mean, he wouldn't bring in the army, if that's what your worried about. As the leader of the executive branch, he has the authority to enforce the laws of congress and make orders to ensure laws are being followed. He's claiming this is a method of ensuring that illegal immigration is stopped which, by its nature, is enforcing the laws of congress. Like I said, though, it wouldn't be militarily. He could call in the FBI to enforce the investigations or he could ask congress to cut funding as a threat. The later is technically not a power of his, but, if congress agrees, it's kosher. The problem, of course, is that this is somewhat a matter of the state governments and city governments. If they really don't want to do this, then it's arguable whether or not it is within their rights to refuse as putting out detailed crime reports to the public is technically not a power the federal government has over the state government. In short, it's an iffy proposal and hard to enforce. He's best bet would be just to have the FBI request the information and do it themselves, but the state government can still refuse, I believe.

GOLLOCKS!
I went searching for a thing to post from this morning and found nothing actually worth posting.

Senior officials resigning in a group from the State Department? Normal response: oh gently caress. Freep response: good.

Trump administration to release a weekly list of crimes performed by illegals? Normal response: this is a well known tactic to drive hatred towards a minority group. This is literally a Nazi tactic. Freep response: good.

Trump's interview on ABC? Normal response: ... does he have Alzheimer's? Freep response: oh my god he's so dreamy

Sanctuary city executive order? Normal response: Look, you have to understand the dynamics of crime reporting in migrant communities, if we criminalize people that come forward we're going to end up with less effective law enforcement. Freep response: good

Every single thing that comes up is just praise and more praise for Trump without any sort of consideration or commentary. No, I don't mean there's no dissent, we already knew that. I mean that nobody at all is demonstrating that they've thought any of this through at all.

The more shocking thing to me is that you thought they would ever think through it. They do not care about being hypocrites, they do not care about the impossible leaps of logic they have to take to support what he's doing, and they do not care to look beyond "it hurts browns, therefore it's good". For Freep, the world is a giant zero-sum game, and everything they support must hurt someone else in some way, otherwise it is bad. They are horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE, mindless, soulless shells of human beings, and if there's any justice in this world they will all die cold and alone, forsaken by those they loved.

I think I need to stay away from this thread for a while.

Well every Thanksgiving we get to see their progress towards the last part.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

It's the honey moon phase. If their own benifits get cut we might see a hang over

They'll just claim it was all the nasty liberals. Also it'll be Obama's fault, even though he's probably sitting on his couch drinking a beer and watching basketball.

The same people who think cutting PBS's less-than-$500 million budget will change anything.

The more unhinged other countries think Trump is the better it is for the U.S. Gives us leverage.

Good. All bureaucrats ever do is to issue mounds of regulations to justify their existance.

Well late stage bureaucracies do become bloated with pointless positions but I was thinking the hundreds of staffers for the hundreds of congressmen
