The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Unpopular opinion: I do not believe Trump is on his death bed. I do believe he is having physical ailments right now, partially because he eats like crap and doesn't exercise, and partially because he is nearly 80 years old.
Should the press push harder? Yes. Without question.

News outlets should send their medical correspondents (the ones who are actual doctors) to the White House on Tuesday - and every day after that - to ask him questions about his health, hand bruising, if he’s getting lasix infusion, etc etc
Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...

I get that the vibe is very weird around Trump right now. But these rumors that he's secretly at Walter Reed have no credible evidence to support them, and are being spread by small-time influencers looking for clicks.

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.
8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.
And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Q: As a conservative, do you think the govt should have ownership stakes in private companies?
LAWLER: Generally speaking, no... I think what the president is seemingly trying to do is get a return on these tens of billions of dollars that are being invested by taxpayers into companies like Intel
