Mike Johnson: "I cannot for the life of me understand how the Democrats think this is some kind of winning political message. Yield man! Let the troops come into your city and show how crime can be reduced."

So GOP believes the winning message is domestic military occupation. Maybe in Podunk USA with a population of 500 where everyone is related and military occupation will never see the light of day. Even large Red State (Democratic) cities will end up seeing military occupation in time.

“I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Americans would not want to live under military occupation - that very normal and cool thing that marks freedom and liberty in an advanced society.” - this dipshit

aha, Noem yesterday and Johnson today. they are creating an alternate reality that the nation is in crime spree emergency, but only in blue cities. looks like that's their main scenario toward the midterm. fear and entertainment, an easy job to fool morons.

What I can't get is how the GOP think they have a winning case when they support a 34 count felon and are preventing his name from popping up as a pedophile in the Epstein files for the nation to see.

all right, which one of you democrats had the foresight in 2003 to create a fake birthday card with a drawing of a nude little girl, include a gross shitty “poem,” forge trump’s signature on it, then send it epstein for his birthday memory book? I want answers, dammit!!

We're essentially in a cold civil war right now. The war has started. We're just waiting for the actual shots to be fired (and to be clear I hope we can end this shit without it coming to that)

Imagine all your aspirations in life amounting to nothing more than being a bootlicker for a child rapist, an excuser for violating the Constitution to send the military after political opponents I hope for Mike’s sake that heaven & Hell do exist, bc he’s such a evil person

Hey Johnson: It's not *normal* or *legal* to deploy US troops in US cities to "fight crime". You want that, tell Trump and Hegseth to send the troops to the higher-crime RED STATE cities. "Land of the free", my ass. Republicans wrecked America.

Why does this guy speak from behind a GOP lectern? His position as speaker is in relation to the entirety of the House. He's a representative of US government, not of a political party.

Troops are not trained for combating crime in a domestic setting, nor are they qualified to do so. It's not their job. And there are pretty specific rules about preventing them from pretending it is The whole assertion that troops will reduce crime is a farce on its face

Yep. Red states need to feel it too. The invasion of the Natl Guard & ICE taking the people who work there, live there & go to school & church there. They contribute to the economy in your neighborhood & the country! Crime? TFG thinks he has solved it 100% except for those little fights w/the wife.

Just like gerrymandering, there are things that they will never take off the table unless Dems do it to them. I don't hate your logic here, even though others are melting down. The left needs to actually wield power when they have it. Instead we dump money into red states and they spit in our face

Let the troops come into your city? OK, Benedict Arnold. Let the Mad King send the fucking military in to allow scared white fools who don't even live in these cities continue to think Trump gives a fuck about them or these cities.

Hmm, I seem to remember a few MAGA people threatening Biden and others when the National Guard was rumored to be heading to their Cities. I guess when it is them doing it then everyone should just capitulate.

Indeed. The Republican Party has initiated the beginnings of a civil war, using federal power for state players to take control over other cities and states, while the federal government isolates us from the World stage. America is becoming an AI of a nation that was of, by, and for The People.

Small government was "old" conservatives (cutoff somewhen around 2010-2016; I say 2016). The 2016-and-later "conservatives" think government needs more say in peoples' lives and wants to hire more cops (e.g. ICE). They're left of FDR&LBJ but still called "right-wing."

Which is why the current movement needs to focus on the micro level. Moms for Liberty attacks the board of education because reasonable people aren’t paying attention. The local magistrate saved my life once, I’m completely serious. We need good people in those roles

They only want the parts of the government that help people to be small. Spending lots of government resources terrorizing people and locking them up is okay, though.

This has the same tone as "The second American revolution well be bloodless as long as the left allows it." (Project 2025) Or another famous GOP quote: "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it." - Clayton Williams talking about r*pe

Please tell me some historical example when "Let the troops come into your city" has been a good thing for the civilians living in that city? Something from WW2 maybe?

Democrats support democracy - of the people, by the people, and for the people. U.S. has State and Local police for dealing with those who break the law. Republicans are pro authoritarian who claim they're for law and order, yet they cover for, and support a corrupt lawless President.

Crime in Louisiana is out of control. Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Shreveport are three of the top ten most dangerous cities in the country. This is not a statistical hiccup. Yet I don’t see Mike Johnson inviting troops in! Why not? End crime Mike!!

Mike Johnson failed as a leader. Period.... "trmp an FBI informant" Nice try spinning that turd. After that statement, nothing he will have to say means shit. Send them to his neighborhood doesn't he have a non white child???

>>"Let the troops come into your city and show how crime can be reduced." You go first. Let's put the California National Guard on the streets in Louisiana, #5 in the nation for violent crimes (Illinois is #28).

I'm sure some other wee appendage grows a teensy bit when he's surfing Grindr or scrolling through his child porn collection. He's a malignant lying puppet, minus any potential for redemption though.

Zero crime is impossible, and statistically meaningless. For there to be zero crime, there needs to be zero people. The DOJ had also noted that crime in the DC District was already at a 30-year low, before Trump's intervention. This is politically motivated antagonism.
