Sending troops to occupy a Union city has been a Texas wet dream since at least 1862. You lost that one, motherfuckers, and you'll lose this one too. Go home before you embarrass yourselves.

So she boxed them in and they shot her? Sounds like road rage to me

Wait, she in her one car boxed all ten of them in?

*That never happens.* I'm Slain. So KN once publically accused Biden of the very unconstitutional act the current fascist regime is enacting ? I did not know that.

oh yeah, they've for years screamed that Democrats were going to send in the guard to force people to do abortions and what not.

So, the plan is to send the military to invade US cities, with or without an excuse, until he gets a Kent State, or a Nobel Peace Prize, or both?

Eddie Van Halen died 5 years ago today, it seems like weeks ago to me.

Donald Trump has declared war against a significant part of his own country. He hasn't the thinnest sliver of truthful justification for doing it. If that isn't grounds for impeachment and removal, or removal by the 25th Amendment, what is? His partisan hack subordinates, of course, won't do either.

Seems to me that whilst their National Guard are deployed to Chicago etc., there's a window of opportunity for malicious mischief in states like TX. Just spitballin', here.

Ta, Marcie. Noem is totally dead behind the eyes, and her eyes look deader than Cricket's (RIP).

I am forced to conclude that people who support Sir love Sir BECAUSE he is an Idiot, BECAUSE he is an Asshole, BECAUSE he is a Dolt -- and just BECAUSE.

That about sums it up. It's the extreme case of the rationale, "I want a president I can have a beer with." They want a leader who is as ignorant, bigoted, and downright mean as they are. It's a tall order, of course, but they've finally got what they wanted.

Which begs the question: Why want a “Leader” at all?

They want to not have to be responsible for their own actions. Same reason why anyone would want a leader.

Interesting loop since nothing Sir does is ever Sir’s fault!

It's a very good question since what drops out of all such formulations is any viable principle of excellence--you know, someone who challenges us to (as Melania would say) "be best." It's more like "be our ignorant, arrogant selves." But maybe they want their bad attitude projected onto life's big screen. They want to be part of something beyond their little lonesome, I suppose. It's a pity that they apparently don't want that larger formation to draw them on to any better purpose.

“Tell me I’m just like you. Tell me I belong. Tell me I’m fine. Tell me I’m right. Tell me all I want to hear because — to be momentarily honest — I’m not completely sure what that is.”

You missed a few words in the headline. It should read Trump's War On Chicago Will Continue Until Chicago Says 'Thank You'!, SIR, with tears of joy in their eyes.

",,,Tricia McLaughlin, spokeswoman,,," calling her a spokeswoman gives her too much credibility. Let's call her what she is, the President's "mouthpiece" with all the implications of criminal lawyering,

Trump sending the Texas Guard to Chicago feels like when your drunk uncle shows up to fix your Wi-Fi and starts a fire instead.

Abbott’s out here treating Illinois like it’s the Alamo 2.0. And Kristi Noem’s still wandering the Midwest looking for a bathroom and a point.

This isn’t national defense. It’s reality TV with helicopters.

Blessed be the cities that refuse to kneel for nonsense.

Last time I looked Chicago was balls deep in most States girlfriends, I don't think they plan to knuckle under.
