Trump saying he may invoke the Insurrection Act because of the Portland situation.

I knew this was always the plan. If not right here, right now, then very soon.

Gather the generals, warn them of the "enemy from within" - I predicted this too. This exact phrase.

You should probably go ahead and flee to Canada or Mexico.

K Thanks.

You should go ahead and get the legal emigration process going....other countries don't just let you walk in and **** all over the place.

Easy there. I search in brush where illegals hide waiting on a ride and transplant some very hardy chili petin plants from where they ****.

yeah, stay on topic people. don't you know our elections are being cancelled by our duly elected dictator? if that doesn't call you to action to go shoot some ICE agents to encourage the dictator to send in the support we're rabidly against, what will?

Moanstradamus needs to up his leftist game!

Wow- you mean you "knew" Trump was going to do something?

was this BEFORE or AFTER Trump himself stated he would do something?

"Throughout Donald Trump's 2024 campaign for the presidency, he repeatedly indicated his desire to deploy National Guard troops into the "crime dens" of American cities and against the "enemy within."

This promise, at least, he has kept.

Over the past four months, the president has sent the Guard into the streets of Los Angeles and the District of Columbia. Now Trump is pushing to do the same in Portland, Oregon (which he recently described as "a burning hellhole"), and Chicago ("probably worse than almost any other city in the world")."

…believe his opinion not the statistics

which stats are you using that show Chicago as among the most dangerous cities per capita? Everywhere I look, I see Memphis at the top, and Chicago way down the list.

---

houston and several other texas cities have higher violent crime rates than chicago. when are we sending in the army to clean those cities up?

---

I've lived in both Houston (downtown) and Chicago (downtown). You absolutely can't compare the two.

---

turns out you actually can with this cool thing called data! 2024 violent crime rates per 100k:

houston: 1148
chicago: 540

it's obvious the national guard deployments are not about curbing crime at all (except for memphis - that's a legit problem), but rather intimidating the standard blue city punching bags and feebly projecting military strength to mask the administration's incompetence with distractions

---

I think it's about time to flag for derail. The influx of NG has no direct connection to per capita crime. It has to do with protecting federal employees and property as has been duly noted here multiple times.

---

ice agents were shot at in dallas, yet no NG deployments there. why?

once again, it's because the NG deployments are about intimidating the standard blue city punching bags and feebly projecting military strength to mask the administration's incompetence with distractions

---

No National Guard deployment because the Dallas Police and the Dallas County Sheriff's Department will protect ICE officers doing their jobs.
Seems you left that part out.
And it seems you're off topic left out the part that Chicago and Portland police officers are not allowed to assist ICE when they are under attack by Antifa.

ETA: never mind I was late in posting, many posters pointed this out well before me.

Love to hear it, honest. Same sentiment from those in my family who are conservatives, which is easily 90% of em. Same reaction to the third term "trolling", aka normalization.

That said, keep pretending his rhetoric and actions are totally normal and in no way add pretext to future moves by him.

You get it!

Thank you.

I need a better taco and queso on the way to ski. We have zero good Mexican or even Tex-Mex here. Please send help.

Have fun outraging on the few illegals you arrest. I think you've got them all by now.

---

If there is no large problem with illegal aliens in Portland, which I believe may be correct, why is the Portland and state government so opposed to ICE detaining illegal aliens, especially known criminal aliens.
Let ICE do their legal jobs, remove the few criminal illegals and be done.
It would seem the reason is Oregon and its Portland government is insanely opposed to anything President Trumps does even if it improves the lives of their citizens.
You do understand that Antifa, backed by Portland's city government, is a Domestic Terrorist group hell bent on replacing the current form of government even if it needs to use violence and murder.

There is zero evidence that Trump plans on suspending elections, but there is quite a lot of evidence that democrats share a level of disdain for elections since they have repeatedly selected their candidates to avoid problematic voting results of their primaries.

---

There is also evidence of leftists using a crisis (Covid) to alter state level election laws for mass mail in ballots that are completely unsecure and ripe for fraud.

By raising the absurd notion that President Trump will cancel elections, especially by the Democratic Party leadership, they are putting a target not only on his back for assassination but also on the backs of all conservatives.

Southside of Chicago has issues!? The logical response is clearly to send the NG and threaten to take unchecked control and suspend elections across the entire US (that's the original point of the thread, remember guys? I'm not allowed to respond or what?)

---

Deviation and destraction with a bit of obfuscation in spades right here.

The NG is not really being sent to crack down on crime, They are being sent to protect ICE and allow them to do their job, especially in places that this leftist fool Johnson declared ICE FREE ZONES.

This is really simple if these insurrectionist. Prisker and Johnson would not stir up attack on federal law enforcement agenies, then there would be NG going there.

If skiing is that important to you and you family may I suggest you move to either;

• Kitzbhel Austria, St. Johann is just down the road
• or Chamonix, France, the whole damn valley has numerous ski resorts on both sides of the valley.

I've skied both areas.
My favorite runs were the bowl at the top of Kitzbhel and the back side of mountain at St Johann(re: take some food it takes about half a day but the powder is freaking awesome I inadvertently skied off the roof of a cabin buried in snow.
And the best part, there is no President Trump threatening to take your civil liberties away.

And I went to the Notre Dame game and stayed in Chicago. It was awesome. Clean, no homeless, no cops on corners. Went from downtown to Wrigleyville and bar hopped in between. I understand South Chicago is a different area, much like parts of Dallas in San Antonio and other major cities. But downtown Chicago was very impressive.

---

Midwest liberal cities are still working on the social contract of '"Don't go harass the nicest areas and generally you can do whatever you want in your crappy neighborhood'. Any lapse in that contract is just related to police getting soft on crime in their nice areas. Doesn't take long for that to correct itself though.

Chicago in the warm sunny months is very nice and the impending blanket of winter puts pressure on everyone A) to go out and enjoy the summer and B) not put up with over the top BS from parts of society that make it miserable to drink in public.

Its too cold for massive amounts of homeless to stick around midwest cities so open drug use and pestering homeless is easy to manage compared to the west coast. After every winter you get to start over with enforcement.

One of the safest areas public areas I've experienced was in a St. Louis suburb that was deep in the middle of the safe zone. Everyone was nice. The parks and trails were nice. No pitbulls. Lots of kids running around. No melting pot of cultures. Everyone operating under the same social contract. I can't remember the last time I experienced that in Houston without it being a paid experience.

Was very shire-like looking back on it. And mordor was just a 20 minute drive eastward.

Downtown Chicago was great the times we were there in 2015 and 2017. Later it was taken over by those roving bands of MAGA thugs looking to hang very nice black men that craved a late night snack and we haven't been back since.

It's not great, but there are 91 cities worse than it, including tourist destinations like Nashville. The attention it gets isn't warranted unless you are bad at stats.

Some new info for you:

Quote:

---

So, have our cities become crime-ridden and unpleasant, or are they safe and livable?
Newly released results from the Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Victimization Survey go a long way toward answering those questions. The survey finds that the rate of violent crime in urban areas increased by 61% from 2019 to 2024.

That crime spike was found only in cities. In suburban and rural areas, the observed increase in violent crime over that same span4% and 2%, respectivelywasn't statistically significant.
In 2019, before George Floyd, pandemic closures and the defund-the-police movement, the rate of violent crime in urban areas was roughly identical to the rate nationwide. In 2024, the rate of violent crime in urban areas was 46% higher than the nationwide rate and 104% highermore than doublethe rural rate.

Property crime has long been more prevalent in cities than elsewhere, but that gap has widened. In 2019 the property-crime rate was 51% higher in urban areas than it was nationwide; in 2024 it was 86% higher. The number of property-crime victimizations in 2024 per 1,000 households was 181.6 in urban areas, 96.1 in suburban areas, and 48.3 in rural areas.

Rather than relying on police reports, the National Crime Victimization Survey asks U.S. residents whether they were a crime victim in recent months. If so, it asks about the nature of the crime, the demographics of those involved, and whether the crime was reported to police. The nation's largest crime survey, it has been conducted since the Nixon administration.
