The military plans lots of things. Doing it is a different story. Deploying in Chicago will not go well for Trump.

He's taking it a little further step by step. I think we'll see a national emergency, with the goal of staying in power in 2029.

Deploying in Washington, DC which is technically under control of the federal government is one thing. while deploying in  a state city is another issue and is most likely unconstitutional. It would require federalizing the national guard and there isn't a valid reason to do so,

I think some of the generals refused orders awhile back in D.C. Was it during the parade?

 

Anyhow, they are going to start refusing to deploy if it looks unconstitutional. Military should not be deployed on domestic soil and the generals know this.

Trump doesn't care about criminals, he is one.

Have another tissue and dry those eyes. Poor thing.

It looks like the National Guard just missed the left wing Chicago Queer Music Festival. I am sure there will be other debauched festivals to attend.

Well, the US is technically at war. Easy to change the constitution to stop wasting time and effort holding elections when the country is at war. The forum left repeat this mantra ad nauseum so cancelling elections in the US seems something we can all agree is a good idea(or the hivemind are trotting out a knowingly dumb and false narrative concerning little Z).😂
