Each time he's done this they wasted a shitload of money, his numbers dropped and he ends up looking like an idiot. Even more importantly, it brings them no closer to expanding their control over the populace. They might actually be too stupid to be effective authoritarians.

They need to be so severely booed when they arrive. There is no respect or honor in their service being used this way. They should be ashamed.
Living in Chicago I expect nothing less than that.
My guess is they’ll station everyone in the loop for optics but not actually put military in the actually dangerous streets.
Ain’t nobody going to North Lawndale or Garfield Park.
Heh, if they did, all that knowledge from Iraq and Afghanistan won't do them any good.
Different groups of guerilla fighters attacking with different uncoordinated tactics, no Intel on capabilities or location, and no tech to exploit. Not to mention no language barriers.
Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don't think will happen domestically.
Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don't believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.
This is a completely unrelated thing but please tell me Garfield Park has lots of Garfield the cat graffiti.
It would be funnier to give them campaign medals. And then when they match in parade they can tell people that they are veterans of the battle of Washington or what ever. Just pull the absolute piss out of them, have podcasts where they discuss their time with Ukrainian veterans to the point where they give up out of embarrassment
I can believe NG troops are in a gray area on their deployments, as they have historically been allowed for certain emergencies and fighting whether this is a legit emergency may seem above their paygrade, but the active duty servicemembers don't have those excuses. It's time for them to start standing up and refusing orders.
I'm with Meidas' remark on this - suuuuuuch a bullshit headline. It gives credence to Taco Camacho and his fascist bullshit.
Crackdown? On fucking WHAT?
Can the USA really fight Venezuela, Panama, Greenland, Mexico, Canada and the USA all at the same time?
I don't know their endgame. I do know this has been planned for a while. Notable wealthy people sold their properties and moved to Florida.
They can have all the data they want. Apply whatever models to it they have.
This will not go according to their plans. Even if they are hoping for absolute chaos, they won't get that.
Chicago is not DC and I honestly think they're going to get the violence they're probably looking for, but i don't think it will go as well for them as they expect. But anyone who supports and facilitates the current regime deserves a pension plan of a five foot rope and a spot along a bridge so oh well.

Texas too...
Can we not call it a crackdown, thereby lending legitimacy to the farce being used to invade a city in the US?
Biden's legacy will forever be a "return to normalcy" instead of putting something in place to prevent this
Yeeeeah no. Come on. The trump admin is actively breaking laws on top of “norms and traditions”. If this had all been meticulously planned against and counters written into law (which let’s be honest, wasn’t going to happen) you think Trump would suddenly care about following laws?
