Fearful and desperate people tend to be the ones who end up supporting dictators.
I am neither..what do you suggest in Chicago?
Well I suggest we get to the root of the problem and work from the ground up. The root isn't poverty, gangs, and drugs. I think it is commonly agreed upon that racial injustice over the past generations is the true root problem. That led to poverty, gangs, drugs, and tribalism. African Americans couldn't rely on the cops or courts to protect and serve them, so they had to take matters in their own hands (or so they thought). Jump ahead to early 2017 and the DOJ releases reports about how unjust the Chicago police is.
Trump's solution: stop doing DOJ investigations because police are great and send in the military. My solution: fix the racial problem, train cops better, work on community outreach programs. I don't foresee the military causing gangsters to all the sudden "see the light" for some reason.
No shit. I wonder what the chain of command is for something like that. Would Rahm or our piece of shit Governor Rauner have to make a request for the feds to step in?
Yes. The governor has to make the request. Think back to Katrina. Bush couldn't send troops until Governor Blanco made the official request.
Which bring us to multiple scenarios of agencies and government employees not following our new dictators orders. What follows that, and what are the implications? The system runs on a certain level of faith and trust. Trump is effing with that and he has no clue whatsoever.
No. It doesn't lead to multiple scenerios. The Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act detail requirements and limitations for a federal government to intervene.
You're just referring to what trump said about Chicago. But even in that single scenario, trump will interpret those as giving him permission to send "the feds". He will probably be told no, and then it what hapoens after that matters. You seem to be under the impression that trump is educated on anything about the federal government and is willing to respect the limits placed on it.
He also has a pen and a phone.
Yawn. Yup, he's just like Obama. Got it.
With the big difference being that Trump will not tolerate the carnage that is Chicago.
He's our new law and order dictator. Just don't step out of line.

I am neither..what do you suggest in Chicago?
I recommend first that people reject any trump proposal that includes larger, heavy handed federal government response (which will be most of his proposals outside of budget cuts) then I recommend that people read about gang behavior and gang interventions. Then they should look at all that data broadly, come up with their own ideas (borrowed or new) about what to do and go from there. It can be ppealing to to some to default to the lowest common denominator of a police state, but you should fight that urge.
Very solid recommendations..i would bet that law enforcement and other groups have previously read into gang behavior and looked at all the data available wouldn't you think? This has been going on in Chicago for years. So in that case when all else has failed, (which I believe we could be at that point) what do you do??

Your making some assumptions. I don't know how thoroughly Chicago has looked into interventions that could work. Also when you say "all else has failed", that means they've tried everything, which is really unlikely.
Then perhaps the Feds (In suits, not combat gear) should come in and see why, in your eyes, everything hasn't been looked into why thousands of Americans are killing each other annually in Chicago the past decade..

Unfortunately attempts at your solutions have already failed based on the raw numbers.
We've mocked the last 3 Presidents by calling them "Hitler" when in reality they were nowhere near close. It's just if you were red, it was the cool thing to call the blue guy and if you were blue it was the cool thing to call the red guy. Now, I'm pretty sure we're not far off from it becoming reality. Buckle up, America. We've done fucked ourselves. I can't believe one single person voted for this fucker let alone STILL tries to defend him. UNFUCKINGREAL.
Censorship is the suppression of free speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions.
C'mon Kat...you've censored far more people then Trump ever has. Sure this is a forum with rules to be enforced but federal agencies (which include national parks) also have rules with respect to communications and federal employees are expected to follow those rules. If employees of these agencies disagree with the politics of their leaders then they can resign.

This would be the most effective solution, but it cannot be achieved in the time Trump or anyone else is willing to wait to see the results. They want quick results and immediate change, which is impossible.
To those who are in support of the feds moving in, what is it that you think they can change? Additional people on the ground? I don't know what Chicago PD has been implementing to curb this, but I would hope they have been looking at root causes and focusing on the pockets of high level violence. Increased patrols and response is not a solution, it's a band-aid. They will need to mobilize in the community and get in to the neighborhoods at a deep level to start getting results and if they don't have the faith or trust from the community, nothing will change until they do.
He also asking for an investigation into whether someone's beliefs constitutes a lie. Ex.The boys and girls believe in Santa Claus, the boys and girls are liars.

Sure you did x2.
Excellent list! Did you create it, or is there a site that is tracking this? I was going to create a daily list during Trump's 1st 100 days, but figured there must already be some good sites doing this. If you did it, then good job!

Do you have a better idea to stop the violence? We can let these murder numbers climb another 25% this year and watch the city continue on a path to shit..Cops can't get it done, Rahm hasn't been able to, so what do we do? Get the Fed's in and help with the root cause..the poverty, the gangs, the drugs, etc.. I'm with "the donald" on this one. (Disclaimer: I didn't vote for the bafoon)..trademark josevolution.
Fearful and desperate people tend to be the ones who end up supporting dictators.
I am neither..what do you suggest in Chicago?
Well I suggest we get to the root of the problem and work from the ground up. The root isn't poverty, gangs, and drugs. I think it is commonly agreed upon that racial injustice over the past generations is the true root problem. That led to poverty, gangs, drugs, and tribalism. African Americans couldn't rely on the cops or courts to protect and serve them, so they had to take matters in their own hands (or so they thought). Jump ahead to early 2017 and the DOJ releases reports about how unjust the Chicago police is.
Trump's solution: stop doing DOJ investigations because police are great and send in the military. My solution: fix the racial problem, train cops better, work on community outreach programs. I don't foresee the military causing gangsters to all the sudden "see the light" for some reason.
And invest in minority neighborhoods through a multiple of ways.
Don't you guys think that local government, various social groups, the police, the Obama admin, local citizens, neighboorhod pastors, etc haven't tried?? This has been going on for years. Not just since the Donald started tweeting about it.
I think i figured out why she said she wanted to combat bullies as first lady... which seemed ironic at the time... she was talking about Donald... she is probably disgusted by him

Ready to usher in a new era for civil rights? I'm sure we're heading back to when America Was Great in terms of civil rights in this country, especially with Trump's pick for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division as the deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights. Reports are that he's appointing John Gore, who argued in court on behalf of North Carolina's HB2 bill, defended redistricting plans against claims of civil rights violations, and helped defend Florida's systematic purge of voter registrations in violation of the National Voter Registration Act. So a guy who has consistently been on the wrong side of civil rights fights is now in charge of protecting civil rights in this country? WTF???? Orwellian, indeed. Alternative Facts. Newspeak.

Except nobody was concerned when Obama prosecuted members of the media or disparaged media sources on the right.
Don't forget prosecuting whistleblowers! Most in history. "Transparency"
For once, I kind of agree with JC. Obama was not exactly all show and tell with the press or media, he just wasn't an asshole who drew attention to that.
Ready to usher in a new era for civil rights? I'm sure we're heading back to when America Was Great in terms of civil rights in this country, especially with Trump's pick for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division as the deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights. Reports are that he's appointing John Gore, who argued in court on behalf of North Carolina's HB2 bill, defended redistricting plans against claims of civil rights violations, and helped defend Florida's systematic purge of voter registrations in violation of the National Voter Registration Act. So a guy who has consistently been on the wrong side of civil rights fights is now in charge of protecting civil rights in this country? WTF???? Orwellian, indeed. Alternative Facts. Newspeak.
no different than his EPA pick being a guy who has sued and is sueing the EPA as we speak. or the private school booster in charge of the public school system.
it's all just so surreal. I feel bad for my relatives who live in the US. one of whom is a teacher.
No shit. I wonder what the chain of command is for something like that. Would Rahm or our piece of shit Governor Rauner have to make a request for the feds to step in?
Yes. The governor has to make the request. Think back to Katrina. Bush couldn't send troops until Governor Blanco made the official request.
Which bring us to multiple scenarios of agencies and government employees not following our new dictators orders. What follows that, and what are the implications? The system runs on a certain level of faith and trust. Trump is effing with that and he has no clue whatsoever.
No. It doesn't lead to multiple scenerios. The Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act detail requirements and limitations for a federal government to intervene.
You're just referring to what trump said about Chicago. But even in that single scenario, trump will interpret those as giving him permission to send "the feds". He will probably be told no, and then it what hapoens after that matters. You seem to be under the impression that trump is educated on anything about the federal government and is willing to respect the limits placed on it.
He also has a pen and a phone.
Yawn. Yup, he's just like Obama. Got it.
With the big difference being that Trump will not tolerate the carnage that is Chicago.
I wonder how Unsung feels about federal jack booted thugs occupying his city? Maybe he's okay with it seeing how it'll be predominately minority occupied neighborhoods that'll be occupied?
Censorship is the suppression of free speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions.
C'mon Kat...you've censored far more people then Trump ever has. Sure this is a forum with rules to be enforced but federal agencies (which include national parks) also have rules with respect to communications and federal employees are expected to follow those rules. If employees of these agencies disagree with the politics of their leaders then they can resign. One has a right to free speech but they don't have the right to operate outside the rules of this forum or outside of the rules of their employer.

when did he do that? did he refuse to answer their questions at pressers?
I am not surprised that most of you are unfamiliar with Obama's record on press freedom and the prosecution of journalists and whistleblowers but here's a little taste

Trump's solution: stop doing DOJ investigations because police are great and send in the military.
My solution: fix the racial problem, train cops better, work on community outreach programs. I don't foresee the military causing gangsters to all the sudden "see the light" for some reason.
Still a pretty funny reaction
Buckle up, America. We've done fucked ourselves. I can't believe one single person voted for this fucker let alone STILL tries to defend him. UNFUCKINGREAL.
To those who are in support of the feds moving in, what is it that you think they can change? Additional people on the ground? I don't know what Chicago PD has been implementing to curb this, but I would hope they have been looking at root causes and focusing on the pockets of high level violence. Increased patrols and response is not a solution, it's a band-aid. They will need to mobilize in the community and get in to the neighborhoods at a deep level to start getting results and if they don't have the faith or trust from the community, nothing will change until they do.
He also asking for an investigation into whether someone's beliefs constitutes a lie.
Ex.The boys and girls believe in Santa Claus, the boys and girls are liars.

I think i figured out why she said she wanted to combat bullies as first lady... which seemed ironic at the time... she was talking about Donald... she is probably disgusted by him
