Gov. JB Pritzker called out the Trump administration on Sunday for defending its decision to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago as necessary to fight violent crime in the city, even though the federal government has emphasized in court and Pentagon memos that the mission is mainly to protect federal immigration enforcement agents and federal property.
Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” Pritzker said President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s ultimate goal is to bring in the National Guard to cities like Chicago and Portland, Oregon, to militarize the country’s Democratic-controlled enclaves as a form of political payback.
“They’re claiming in court that this is about protecting (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) facilities and ICE agents and not about crime on the streets,” the governor told the program’s host, George Stephanopoulos. “But then you hear Vice President Vance and the president of the United States contravening that and saying exactly what they actually think. They just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize, especially blue cities and blue states.”
You mean your leading question loaded with qualifiers after moving the goal posts so many times? I instead chose to stay on the topic that started this discussion by quoting your initial post and comparing it to your previous post where you’re engaging in the very behavior you’re trying to convict others of?
Imagine that…
Hilarious that you clearly lied while trying to say I lied and lied about the examples.
I’ll be saving this conversation for the future.
That’s certainly a collection of words strung together. Nice job, bud!
That doesn’t surprise me in the least. I know you’ll also leave out all the parts where you’ve loaded your comments with qualifying statements while completely ignoring the broader topic in order to feel like you’ve ‘won’ by focusing on a very narrow and inconsequential aspect of my argument. Some might call that “fucking pathetic,” but not me. I salute your bravery!
Care to reply to this comment that you ignored where I bring up all my responses to your ‘points’ there?
You said:
I said:
The first example you gave was clearly not either of those.
The second example you gave was:
Do you think this comment from six months ago when Trump was president (he created DOGE, remember) was:
A) ‘Whining that Joe Biden couldn’t accomplish a god damned thing because of Republican opposition’
B) ‘Whining that we need to "vote blue no matter who’
C) Neither so why was it included as an example?
