Trump says Memphis is next target for National Guard crime crackdown

Just a moment...

“We’re going to Memphis. Memphis is deeply troubled. The mayor is happy, he’s a Democrat, and the governor of Tennessee,” Trump said. “Deeply troubled. We’re going to fix that just like Washington.”

Why not to Utah? There's been a noticeable uptick in crime there recently.
Why is there a next target? Are we at war? We used to declare war on everything, drugs, poverty, crime, but we didn't send in the Marines.
This can't be the new normal.
- He literally declared war against Chicago, so yes.
  
  And TACO'd out because it's a fight they would lose.
- Because.
  Yes.
  True.
  It is.
- Some people feel that an internal state conflict that results in more than 1000 deaths per year qualifies as a state of civil war. By that metric, the numbers of people in the USA killed by the police has meant that the USA has been in a state of civil war for many years now.
- Are we at war?
  Certainly feels like some people would like us to be
Stop letting these fuckwads frame the issue. At least put "crime" in scare quotes.
Epstein. Files.
- We definitely should not be talking about how on Wednesday Roy Wyden Called for a Senate investigation into the connection between Epstein, Peter Thiel, and JP Morgan (which requires some Republican assistance to move forward), hours before news of it was buried by Charlie Kirk's assassination. Or how the Secretary of the Treasury threatened to investigate Wyden for his obscene demands that there even be an investigation into these pedophiles that are too big to fail. But most people missed that and now the media is instigating civil war 2.0
  Please start including this in all future demands for the Epstein files.
  It's almost like the timing of Kirk's assassination not only distracts from the investigation, but also sends a message to other Republicans in congress who might be thinking about doing the right thing.
  
  Isn't that one of the things Fuentes was fighting with Kirk about? The Epstein thing?
Really? Orem, UT seems to be a pretty violent place these days.
Have any of these actions had a measurable positive impact on the crime rates of the cities where it happens...? Oh... Its just performative, like always. Great.
- Well theyve had a measurable impact. Just not positive.
I didn't give him permission to send the national guard to Memphis
An executive needs an armored car to walk to a hotel? That's not on Memphis. I feel like he probably just didn't want to be near black people or get caught outside by people who hate him for personal reasons.
We're scheduling it now, I see
Chipocalypse ~~Now~~ TBD
Here we go...
And they will just take it. I hate living here
Better be wearing gas masks. I here the residents can't breath because of Musk data center.
