The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow National Guard troops into Chicago after a lower court sided with the governor and blocked the deployment.
Dementia is really taking hold on poor old pervert.
He’s calling for them to protect a real mall, he got the name of the mall wrong (and not even that egregiously). There’s plenty of legitimately horrifying acts to criticize this fucker for, why are we resorting to the same kind of disingenuous truth-stretching rhetoric conservatives rely on to rile their degenerate base?
If he’s going to use it as an impetus for deploying troops domestically then he should at least be able to name it correctly. If he can’t even do that then it’s pretty easy to argue his cognitive decline is progressing.
That’s not really the point. Sure you could argue this, but why the hell are we wasting our time arguing about if the stupid detail of him mixing up a word is actually relevant, instead of talking about the "he’s trying to send troops to defend a street" thing? That is my point. I don’t care if people think it’s a sign of cognitive decline, I care that you’re choosing to spend your time talking about that instead of the thing that really pressingly matters.
The point is that you think it’s okay that a fascist demogogue trying to occupy his own country is too stupid to get a simple name right and is entirely delusional from top to bottom
Oh hey, it’s you again! How’ve you been? Still doing the “aggressively present some truly spectacular misinterpretation of what I’ve written” thing? Glad that’s working out for you.
Aaaaanyways, I’ve never said or even tacitly implied that it’s okay that trump is stupid, nor have I ever made anything like a hinting gesture that he isn’t stupid, nor have I said that this isn’t evidence of his mental decline, nor have I said that his overall mental decline isn’t relevant.
As is becoming tradition, I invite you to give it another go.
Protect it from what, vacancy? Like, sure he got the name a little wrong. But call in the troops to… Uh… Open up stores in the district? I think that’s the crazy part. The headline should be more like “Trump orders a call to arms in a business district because stores are empty because the economy is in shambles and other reasons too” or something like that. I dunno, I’m not a headline writer.
It’s pretty much a street with a bunch of expensive trendy outlet shops on it. Like UniQlo, Gucci, Breitling, or whatever. Same trendy shit that’s always grouped together.
But people do have a limit to the number of things they can focus on at a time. Made up non-issue bullshit like this just gives the conservatives something to point to to justify their dismissal when legitimate news percolates through the bullshit to reach them, and takes attention that could be better spent on real news elsewhere.
The wonderful results so far is BECAUSE we don’t focus on the actual crime. Have you not watched how mainstream media covers Trump for the last 8 years?
People are getting too hung up on the name and not hung up enough on Trump advocating to use the military to protect commercial properties, in other words literal Fascism.
I’m not faulting him for Miracle over Magnificent, because that’s not the real problem. 😉
I’m not, I’m criticizing this article taking up just that little bit more of the public’s bandwidth with stupid rhetoric. There’s more than enough that we should be worrying about and ample crimes he’s guilty of, why do we need to bother manufacturing evidence when there’s already overwhelming mountains of evidence just laying around? All this does is discredit our legitimate criticism by association and take up visual space that could be filled with real news.
Was this in any way consequential? Does this show any evidence of anything besides mispeaking? Wait no don’t answer that, I spectacularly don’t care. Instead of talking about something that actually matters you’re starting to drag us both into a debate about the evidentiary value of an old guy briefly mixing up two names that both start with ‘m’.
Isn’t, just maybe, that he’s trying to get troops deployed in US soil once again perhaps a little more important to discuss? But somehow that’s getting overshadowed by your eagerness to spar over the meaningless bullshit I’m criticizing, in a perfect example of my entire godsdamned point.
Ah, so now we’re pivoting from discussing my actual criticism of the article and how it spawns meaningless discussions to… another meaningless discussion, but this time with random gatekeeping thrown in.
According to the article, he’s talking about Magnificent Mile (which is apparently more of a street with stores on it than a classic shopping mall, just to add to the weirdness of him offering to deploy the military to defend it)
It is a mall, being a broad street lined with shops and a promenade (though not wholly closed to traffic), but it’s not a classic “shopping mall” as the term is most commonly used in the US (that being a massive temple complex built to honor consumerism and featuring some very bad food). Which makes it even more patently absurd for trump to want to send troops to defend what is essentially just… a street.
(note that trump never actually calls it a mall, he describes it as a “Shopping Center”, adding to my annoyance over this headline…)

I think it’s about “crime”… in his mind.
I wouldn’t even call it a mall. It’s a shopping district.
It’s pretty much a street with a bunch of expensive trendy outlet shops on it. Like UniQlo, Gucci, Breitling, or whatever. Same trendy shit that’s always grouped together.
he literally can’t remember the name of a mall. why are you defending that?
Even the sharpest humans forget things. This is a non-article, and it distracts from the active slide into fascism.
Do you think that this is the sole issue anyone is focusing on?
Or maybe, its being reported as evidence for yet another reason trump shouldnt be in office?
you are aware people can focus on and discuss more than a singular issue at a time?

Sure. Wonderful result so far with all the focus on actual crimes 👍👍👍

Not exactly sure what your point is but okay.
Nuh-uh!
…
What were we talking about again?
I’ve been there and if you had asked me yesterday what it was called there’s a better than even chance I’d have called it Miracle Mile as well.
Magnificent Mile just sounds… well… it sounds like something Trump made up TBH. 😉
I have zero respect for your opinion. surprised ive not already blocked you tbh.
People are getting too hung up on the name and not hung up enough on Trump advocating to use the military to protect commercial properties, in other words literal Fascism.
I’m not faulting him for Miracle over Magnificent, because that’s not the real problem. 😉

was his slip up made up? did he not misstate yet another thing?
Why do you think more evidence is a bad idea?
has all the evidence so far done anything to his administration? …no? so maybe its a good idea to collect more evidence.
This is really simple stuff my dude
Was this in any way consequential? Does this show any evidence of anything besides mispeaking? Wait no don’t answer that, I spectacularly don’t care.

agreed.
Im not in the USA
what are you doing about it? marching in the streets? hiding ICE targets in your home? protesting ICE raids?
Or sitting at home, picking your bumhole on the internet whining at me?
People who actually do subversive shit don’t talk about it on public social media.
bingo.
Ah, so now we’re pivoting from discussing my actual criticism of the article and how it spawns meaningless discussions to… another meaningless discussion, but this time with random gatekeeping thrown in.
Youre whining this article distracts from important topics.
So I changed over to discussing what I presume are important topics to you.
You instead flail. Its ok - keep crying but doing nothing. Its the American Way.
And now you’re trying cheap bait and personal attacks. Charming.
Fuck this guy
Then fuck off and let us focus on and deal with the real shit instead of the misnaming of shopping malls.
You’d be shocked at what they’re defending these days.
What mall is he trying to talk about?
According to the article, he’s talking about Magnificent Mile (which is apparently more of a street with stores on it than a classic shopping mall, just to add to the weirdness of him offering to deploy the military to defend it)
So not a real mall. Got it
It is a mall, being a broad street lined with shops and a promenade (though not wholly closed to traffic), but it’s not a classic “shopping mall” as the term is most commonly used in the US (that being a massive temple complex built to honor consumerism and featuring some very bad food).
