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

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

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

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

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days 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 2 days ago

He only wants Democratic cities in Democratic states. Arkansas already surrendered easily, and is already under voluntary MAGA control.

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.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

That, and the state has a Republican governor who will help Trump put the boot in.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Highest percent in the nation I believe

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago

Not Salt Lake City?

The fuck did Tennessee do?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 67 points 3 days 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 3 days ago (1 children)

city that would accept a troop presence

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

Besides being cowards the few magats with brains also realize that they do not actually want all out war.

If they start shoving large parts of the country, then those parts are going to shove back. It's significantly easier to keep going at slower pace that invites less resistance. They're going to work towards disposing smaller circles of groups they dislike until they feel comfortable enough to deal with the rest of us.

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

needs another distraction from epstein, after the KIRK shooter turned out to be right winger, so not useful anymore.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

so they're all just cool with him continuing to deploy the military against his own population again and again, cool

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 2 days ago

It is what Charlie would’ve wanted. Brutally repressing people’s rights.

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 28 points 3 days ago

THEY ARE AFRAID. KEEP GOING

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

"Where shall we deploy the Guard next?"

"Mmmgggugahah."

"Minneapolis? Memphis?"

"Wharblgarbl."

"Yes Mr President."
