"I’m aware that the president of the United States likes to go on television and beg me to call and ask him for troops."

"I find this extraordinarily strange as Chicago does not want troops on our streets … I refuse to play a reality game show with Donald Trump."

Said JB Pritzker, quoted in "JB Pritzker: is the Illinois governor the Democrats’ best hope?/Clashes with Trump have boosted his profile, and while a third Illinois term looks assured, a tilt at the White House could see old scandals return to haunt him" (London Times).

We're told that Trump "continues to mock Pritzker’s bulk, posting an AI video showing him as a sumo wrestler grappling with Chris Christie, a large former Republican governor." In case you're having trouble picturing that:

Isn't it amazing that the President of the United States is fooling around — and fat shaming — like that? Trump is fat too, of course. I think he fairly cheerfully admits it.

There's also this quote from Frank Luntz: "If you’re the California governor, you have to defend San Francisco. If you’re the Illinois governor, you have to defend Chicago. Democrats do not know how to talk about crime and they do not know how to lead about it, because, quite frankly, they’re seen as being in bed with the criminal and being too distant from the victim.... I actually think that Rahm Emanuel is a better representative because Chicago was better off when he was mayor.”

I guess Trump has lost the morbidly obese vote now.

Prickster demands crime on those streets. For the people!

Fat shaming is a good political strategy. Voters get the message you don’t have your shit together…because you don’t.

I would thank and salute our brave National Guard.

The Mentally Ill collective universal Antifa-hearted would rather their cars be stolen and their mother left for dead. ..
The collective left are also proven racists here. As black communities would love for Law and Order to be restored in gang-ridden areas of Chicago.

Prickster will have nothing of it. He is a wealthy FAT cat white Elite Democrat.

… quite frankly, they’re seen as being in bed with the criminal and being too distant from the victim....

And the reason why it seems that way is because it really is that way.

Federal power is limited. Its exercise has to be justified by reference to a particular grant of authority found within the Constitution. This disagreement between Trump and Pritzker would be a good opportunity for the media to teach the people about how our system of government is supposed to work.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Giuliani is being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He's got a lot of experience cleaning up urban messes. Pritzker could give him a call. He won't, but he should.

Two Frisky Fat Fucks… one grown orca-fat on donuts, the other on Chicago deep-dish pizza and young male foreskins.

Yancey Ward said...

Like I wrote a week ago, Pritzker did himself no favors while cavorting around downtown Chicago with his security detail and claiming he felt perfectly safe in Chicago. I asked at the time why didn't he do this in Englewood at midnight alone with his smart-phone.

narciso said...

their combined gravity wells can cause a singularity,
of course the seat of AirShip One doesn't care about the
crime epidemic, as with Effendi Khan, who rules the roost,

Christopher B said...

Ampersand, the DNC-adjacent media have no interest in explaining how its supposed to work because they want it both ways. When a Republican is President, states can do whatever they want but when a Democrat is in office they have to do everything the Feds order. Federal power is limited but not non-existent. I suspect Trump is laying the groundwork for ICE intervention in Chicago once the legsl challenges in CA are sorted.

“Trump is fat too, of course. I think he fairly cheerfully admits it.”
Is he fat or is it all the bullet proof clothing he has to wear? There’s that press conference the morning after the attack on Iran. With the famous fuck statement. He doesn’t look overweight at all.

Colorado Democrats are sinking Colorado's economy on purpose - and blaming Trump.

Just wanted to get that out there.

Breezy said...

Dem state leaders don’t seem to think the crime problem is their problem to solve. They think Trump is their problem to solve. All they do is focus on Trump and poopoo his ideas. Meanwhile people are being victimized like never before, to coin a phrase. The leaders simply accept the crimes as a part of life in the city and convince everyone there of the same.

It's a selective amazement. A double standard...

Larry J said...

"… quite frankly, they’re seen as being in bed with the criminal and being too distant from the victim...."

Once you see the Democrat Party as an organized crime ring, it all makes sense. Criminals are not only their constituents, they are also their leadership and members.

Breezy said...

A relative recently moved from Boston to a much smaller city in a red state. She said the difference in quality of life is simply incredible - so much less stress in day to day life.

traditionalguy said...

The secret is Pritzker hates America and shows off about that superior motive every time the most hated lover of America succeeds In doing something right for us.

Mr. D said...

It's an open secret that the Illinois (read Cook County) political machine has been in bed with the gangs in Chicago for many years. If the street crime is confined to Englewood and Austin, no issues. Bringing in the National Guard is bad for business and Pritzker knows it.

Narr said...

Crisp Chrispie V Ja. Ba. Pritzker.

Lazarus said...

Was Chicago really better off when Emanuel was mayor? Or was it just that the mayor was more presentable and more problems could be swept under the rug?

Achilles said...

Sumo wrestlers are actually incredible athletes.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Yes Mr. D a recent arrest of an assistant chief for selling the guns the cops took in with their "cash for gats" program revealed he was selling the firearms to the gangs. Several firearms were tracked through the program back to the streets and confiscated from murder scenes. No telling if the guns the cops recycled back to gangs were originally "from red states," but butthead mayor said so.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Thank GOD the left never fat shamed Trump at all!

Remember when George W Bush was dragged over the coals, and again with a recent 25 year anniversary, because he wouldn't sent troops in without an invitation of the governor? Democrats then said that it was just an excuse to not help the people of New Orleans, and that the law was out of date.

Boston is great if you are loaded.

RideSpaceMountain said...

@narciso, Gavin Bateman reminds most people of that one guy everyone heard about in undergrad that could snort enough blow to kill a horse. That's probably why California is one of the few states that still has bathrooms good enough to do coke in.

Thank you Governor Pyscho!

@traditionalguy, Pritzker likes America just fine. It’s those damned Americans he hates so much.

JRoberts said...

It's been 45+ years since I've lived in the Chicago area, but I just assumed Illinois had term limits for their governors.

I guess they expect the corruption indictments to do that job.

He could have just said that Pritzker wants to pull y’all back in chains.

Big Mike said...

Nothing describes how much the Democrats just LOVE their criminals than the way they and their lefty allies are emoting all over the 11 narcoterrorists who got blown up along with their “go fast” boat and their fentanyl . If it’s really a WAR on Drugs then don’t join the wrong side.

narciso said...

i could also use Ellis from Die Hard, but you get the idea, his fall from the top floor of Nakatomi was not unexpected,

Jaq said...

I know of a young man who used to be a Coast Guard sniper, and they would shoot out the engine blocks of the go fast boats from a helicopter, and there was an unwritten rule that those in the boat not resist once the found themselves disabled, and the CG would not bring down holy hell on them. Looks like the terms of the deal may have changed.

Democrats have a sexual fetish for the back... black hole... whore h/t NAACP. A symptom of gender dysphoria at the intersection of sexism, racism, and politics.

Matt said...

There should be some consistency when criticizing governors for crime in their states. It’s fair to go after Newsom [CA], Pritzker [IL] and Moore [MD]. But how about the governors of Republican states where crime is just as bad or worse such as Tennessee [Lee], Missouri [Kehoe], Ohio [DeWine], Louisiana [Landry] and Arkansas [Sanders]? Even if they are Democratically run cities if the governor is responsible for crime in their states then it should be consistent. The crime is technically on their watch. I notice that Landry has agreed to have the National Guard come to New Orleans. Curious to see if other Republicans do the same since it’s trending.

Curious George said...

"Trump is fat too, of course."

Trump's overweight. He's not Pritzker or Christie fat.

The consistency is implicit in your post.

Republican governors want their blue hellholes cleaned up.

Democrat governors want their blue hellholes to remain blue hellholes.

A writer name Calmes, in an article in the LA Times, asserts “Armed troops at the Washington Monument? This is not normal.”

Agreed, because until Trump the normal for the grounds of the Washington Monument has been that nearly all of the armed people there were gangbangers.
