I wasn't sure what people saw in her when she was nominated, and I haven't seen much from her to change my opinion. She's pretty, and I suspect that was enough for Trump 🤣😂

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/restoring-law-and-order-in-memphis/ Also, you think Memphis is Red?

Which ones specifically are you thinking about?

i know some red states with terrible blue cities, but not aware of crime ridden red cities (i guess it might happen if the city is trapped in a blue state). I’m still waiting for the AR or MS guard to invade TN and take Memphis from us. We’d be one of the safest places in the world without Memphis.

I have no problem with any bad city seeing intervention, regardless of local/state gov’s predominant party affiliation. That said, are there GOP led cities that should be prioritized over places like DC, Chicago, Portland, pick a city in CA, NYC, etc? I’m not implying there aren’t GOP-led cities with crime issues, but so far, has the priority been invalid?

No problem with it. US citizens in these cities have been abandoned by their city and in some cases, state, government. Their local govs have been heavily siding with/supporting criminals and their actions while willfully putting innocent citizen’s livelihood, and lives, at unacceptable risk. At some point (such as right now) the fed gov has a duty to step in to defend them. It’s incredibly sad portions of our country have come to this point, but the answer is not to just ignore it and say WGAF because you (the royal you) don’t live there.

My problem with Massie and Paul is they love to pontificate on libertarian utopia while completely ignoring the real world. Their minds live in a fantasy (like all “full” libertarians), and therefore they are roadblocks much of the time to REALISTIC results because they only will accept UNREALISTIC results. So, instead of accomplishing anything, they just run their mouths and generally get in the way. Ergo, hot air.

This is correct. Last I saw Fort Worth was the largest and only "major" Republican city in America. And they don't have a notable crime issue to speak of. Dallas is completely blue, minus the strange politics of the current mayor.

Dallas and Ft Worth seem to be the biggest US cities with Republican mayors. No idea what their crime rates are, but these are cities that have Constitutional Carry, vs say, Chicago.

Certainly not a perfect record, but overall, I voted for this: Illegal border crossings drop to lowest level since 1970: ‘Most secure border in American history’ Kash Patel says FBI agents fired over monitoring GOP senators Trump's DC police takeover: What the crime stats show National Guard Exceeds 2025 Recruiting Goals | American Military News Comey pleads not guilty in court after indictment on alleged false statements, obstruction As to non-citizens serving in the Guard and how they feel about helping ICE, while I certainly can't know, I imagine most of them feel like those immigrants who came here the legal way - make the illegals earn their entrance. Dude who enlisted is paying his dues to get his citizenship. Why should someone else get a free ride?

Dude, you’re just embarrassing yourself. https://app.enhancedvoting.com/results/public/shelby-county-tn/elections/General11052024

@Day Man Memphis is a blue city with a Democrat mayor (and has the NG on the way). Try again.

Memphis?

why do you suppose no R cities are being floated for mil intervention despite having high crime too?

Disgruntledemployee, Perhaps if you view Trump as a non-politician, it may help you warm up to him. He isn’t a politician, he’s not a smooth talker, he’s blunt, says what’s on his mind and often gets in a lot of trouble for it. But he’s a damned effective leader, rough around the edges for sure, but he gets things done! I’m sure. He’s also beholden to no man, doesn’t need money, and loves America. I can think of a lot worse people. George Marshall was a very good soldier, leader, and undoubtably an effective politician to earn all those stars.

Seeing staunch liberals lament doxing by conservatives on social media is truly ironic. Whether I agree with doxing or not it's hilarious to see a group of people that collectively champion cancel culture getting canceled themselves. Fortunately, those currently on the receiving end of the movement they created will no doubt see the error in their ways and we can all move away from this retardation /s.
