This fucking guy presidents like he's mis-clicking the Civ 5 UI in somebody else's game looking for the nukes.

He should free Luigi then, get him back on those bug fixes

Naww... Luigi didn't commit treason, so no presidential pardon for him

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.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Highest percent in the nation I believe

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

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day 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 1 day 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?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 65 points 1 day ago (3 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

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

city that would accept a troop presence

If they bent over any harder they’d be licking their own asses.

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

Did ICE already meet their “execute people in the middle of the street” quota for Chicago?

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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.

It's literally the dumbest shit ever. What happens with crime after the Nasty Girls pull out? How do you expect to fix crime if there isn't a constant presence?
