#4 I just had a novel idea!

How about JB Pritzker actually do something about the crimes in Chicago, that way the POTUS won't have to send in the NG!

#6 Pritzker could "send in" the National Guard himself, but he won't. He can't endorse an Orange Man solution for anything.

DC Mayor Bowser reverses course, admits Trump's federal crime crackdown is working

This even made my morning radio report; believe the station is an ABC outlet. Something like carjacking down 85% so there is no hiding it.

#9 Chicago is much, much bigger than DC with more criminal gangs, more crime areas, etc.

The DC deployment is about 2000. A much bigger deployment would be necessary, probably closer to 10,000 or maybe even 20,000.

#10 The politicians in these blue cities and states are feckless. They talk a good game. Their policies create problems. They throw a lot of money at these created problems but nothing useful ever happens. Nothing gets better.

#11 @#10: By design! Leftist playbook, create a problem, devise non solution solution, allocate taxpayer money and enjoy the grift.
