Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
💯
Exactly what happened in 1933 Germany! A US president doing this is crazy!!!!!!
He ain’t wrong!
That is the end game. Make the claim, offer no proof then act.
And… here we go…
He has ZERO ability to do this. Please ignore him bullshit.
Yet… the soldiers are on our streets.
Yes. But you Americans are all sitting around like bloody zombies. No strikes. Compliant business people. Quiet politicians (most). Scared media that rolls over, too timid to ask the big questions. I watch from abroad, aghast.
It’s clear the media wants Trump to succeed because they’re helping him.
Cuz media is being bought by filthy rich conservatives
Ray Charles could see this coming.
Stevie Wonder too
Hey Democrats, this guy should be a party leader but I'm sure you will just try to restrain him.
A leader who can connect the dots, has foresight AND compassion.
100%
False flag coming.
I count Big Balls' "mugging/car jacking" as at least part one of America's Reichstag fire
He got beat up by a teenage prostitute and they turned it into something else, but ya.
Yeah I used the quotes because I'm deeply sus of the whole story. I assume whatever happened, he instigated it.
I think the most analogous act to the reichstag fire is the “assassination attempt “ that was staged before the election there is no sign of injury to his ear and the assassin was conveniently unable to be questioned
💯
Love my Gov.
This is a shocking conversation, but sadly it’s where many have predicted the Trump Regime would go. Trump has no intention of leaving his golden Washington Palace in 2028.
Glad someone is finally saying it
Trump will be dead before Thanksgiving. I can see it, you can see it. It’s not far away. The fat bastard is deteriorating quickly. That will be a world day of thanks.

His life or death does not matter. The cancer is the billionaires and their sycophants.
I'm glad at least Pritzker's eyes are wide open
No surprise at all fascist loving @CBS shilling for sHitler.
Trump: I will cut police funding in all Democratic states then I’ll send in ice and the National Guard and fix the problem that I alone created
Pritzker is spot on!! The fascist regime cannot be allowed to establish armed forces in any city. Once they are in, they are not leaving. Ever!!
It would be nice if our party noticed that what Pritzker and Newsom are doing and saying is enormously popular. People like a fighter.
He is speaking the truth!
Das ist ein klassischer Schachzug, um die Macht zu übernehmen. Aber wer sagt, dass es nicht funktioniert? In Deutschland hat es ja auch funktioniert, oder?
OR- just send ICE to arrest people who don’t look like they should be voting. …just have to keep them overnight. But at the funding levels that we are wasting on ICE, they could just send them to El Salvador.
I was just in Chicago. I didn’t see a lot of crime. There were a lot of SUVs for MRAPs to hit though. There’s a bit of trash to pick up too
There will be a total uprising and that's what he wants to declare marshall law. We can't let that happen. Fight in the courts and voting ballots. Peacefully protest so they can't say shit.
I agree that he eventually wants to declare Martial Law. It surely seems like he is setting us up for it. All you have mentioned should be done. I also feel that a general strike is necessary and should happen SOON!
JB and others should start aggressively going after people in the press like Martha Raddatz who seem to support the military occupation of American cities. At least call them out by name.
And, that would explain why he wants to get rid of mail-in voting.
It’s a declaration of war against us & we have to understand that
This isn't really a time to be nonchalant 😕
Real, not alarmist, not hyperbole. Kamala predicted this. We’re here.
Pritzker is on fire and a leader for this perilous moment in history Dem leadersTake note - democracy is at stake and need leadership to issue a 5 alarm fire! @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov
Correct
MAGAt FASCISTS are a 77 million MINORITY in a nation of 344 million citizens with over 400+ million firearms. If they are going to run roughshod over THE RULE OF LAW & nullify THE CONSTITUTION, & RIG ELECTIONS, then LET THE PURGE BEGIN!!
Trump on Pritzker's claims: "You! You're absolutely right, you. Now I'm coming for you, hehehe..." I suggest you read the picture description (alt) as it also provides a glimpse of the inner workings of this administration.
Trump, now do Missouri, South Carolina, Alabama, New Mexico, Louisiana (Mike Johnsom will welcome your help), and Mississippi
and stop business and tourism because rather then be uplifted the red states want to sink everyone to their shithole level.
Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation: “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be.”
Sorry, FASCIST Kevin Roberts, request DENIED!! We're soon going to make ole Kevin the PEGGED BITCH he secretly wants to be... BET!!
The P 2025 script has killed and maimed and at its core is violent stupidity
Fuck you roberts
FTG!
Yes it’s the little man behind all the smoke and mirrors we need to expose
This is far more effective communication than whatever dumb memes Newsom is paying someone to make for him.
100%
exactly the nazi playbook are we going to fight back?
Unions should be talking about protecting the polls and assigning scrutineers. The dems should be requesting UN election observers. I get the feeling this is shaping up to be a lot of folks saying "look he's going to fuck with elections!" but then just allowing it to occur.
General Strike. Right now the corporations are loving Trump but put pressure on them to fight his "policies."
This is so confusing to me. What are they loving?
Deregulation. White supremacy. Getting in on the Grift.
Corporations need to understand civil war isn't good for business.
Facts 🎯
Our economy is based on people buying things (and the rest of the world is turning its back on the US and boycotting US goods).
The news corporations put trump where he is by ignoring his child rape, adult rape and utter criminality over focusing on how Biden was old and we all only voted for Harris as someone to take over from Biden. The news corporations are complicit.
@nytimes.com should be renamed #VichyTimes.
Without accountability they'll just pick subsequent presidents who'll give them tax breaks and deregulation in return for getting them elected. Whatever they do to the citizenry. Whatever the election results actually are.
@colorado.gov More sage advice! Stop sucking up and get to work protecting Coloradans from this fascist regime!
100% He can say all he wants, the press needs to be on him and this administration full stop. Chicago isn't a cudgel to score cheap political points or a shitty sound bite it's our home. Keep my city out of your mouth unless you know what you're talking about
The press will probably be pillorying JB instead for suggesting Donald Trump is capable of such a thing.
Yep, no doubt.
Trump supporters are the stupidest people in America, yet they all think they're smart and clever.
This is the way
Remember the 2024 bomb threats at voting locations IN SWING STATES? It will be that on steroids.
ridicule In every city they go in have people hand them garbage bags and say " Get to work"
Nailed it 🙁
Trump is not interested in reducing crime 100% no doubt
Yep. He gets it.
Correction, he has no intention of 'fighting crime' of any kind. Just 'stopping cities living at all.'
Needs to send them into Republican cities that have the most crime. Lets start in Louisiana.
politicalamericans.com/ice-revives-...
Who's the new flavor of mediocre white guy? "Beyond Los Angeles..." as if he hasn't already decided nothing's happening and everything's normal... when you send troops to fight crime and deport people showing up to immigration meetings...
You have ONLY ONE solution left to prevent that to happen. What are you waiting for? It will end at the WH but can start anywhere. Fascists/MAGAs are already deeply present at federal AND states level. And not all of them are surrounded by SS. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
"In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote." ~ Donald Trump, 7/28/24
Trump will deploy troops to NYC in late October to thwart the mayoral election under the false premise of preventing “illegals” from voting. Guaranteed.
He's preparing for martial law. Pay attention.
📌
He is the most intelligent of the not many top dems rising up against the looming autoritarianism. Well done, sir.
I'm going to fight for my vote!
The orange pedophile monster criminal cheater Trump has always cheated, all his life breaking rules, screwing people, being a Russian asset. He is the enemy within and now he is working to take the elections away from us. He wants to stay in power forever like the dictator boss he has on Putin.
He's not just a silly old man with fat ankles is he. He is a power mad very dangerous psychopath.
He speaks truth. And it’s happening in plain site.
Exactly this!!!!
@jamellebouie.net here is the answer to the question you pose here: youtube.com/shorts/4JIAc...
J.B., please run for president.
Omg finally. Finally.
This is why I don’t want to hear about Dems beginning to discuss “soft succession”. It opens the door to him deploying military force on U.S. citizens.
Communist China is a military police state.They have almost zero violent crime because of it.They have military in the streets and secret police.Trump is enacting the CCP plan. Is that what the US wants?
That’s not freedom
Zero REPORTED violent crime.
VERY fair point. Friends of friends who live in China say there is no crime as you walk around the city, but military police everywhere. My third hand anecdotal information.
I'm sure it's lower though 👍
And those troops, sworn on the constitution, won't say no will they. History tells us that and once again she repeats herself.
I love that he is saying it out loud — too many Dems (and trad Repugs) pussy-foot around for fear of attracting attention and calling down fire and brimstone from MAGA
It's obvious from bloody space
That's it. That's the whole game. Pritzker is on to their slow rolling coup.
Reminder: trump wanted the military to seize voting machines after he lost in 2020.
Ok you say your an independent journalist then why does Pritzker get a pass because he says what you want to hear but none of you are holding him accountable for covering up the death of Anthony Stringfellow at Madden Mental Health because of corruption by his DHS Agency a spade is a spade
That’s been the plan all along. Strong feeling there will be no 2026 elections 🥺
There will be. Listen to and read @raskin.house.gov
Just wait until all those troops are stationed to “protect” the polls.
Mix in with the troops will be Proud Boys, white supremicists, and nazi sympathizers, encourage to mingle with them by Trump.
At the very least he will intimidate voters & many will stay away. Usually people of colour.
he'll be dead in a month...
Good. Call this shit out publicly as loud and as often as possible ahead of Trump doing it. The more that the dimwits get the message the more people will see through it
I called this months ago.
' By order of the president all those wearing MAGA hats can come to the front of the queue to vote ' hour later ' thats it folks votings over - go about your business - streets will be cleared , by force if needed'
Same with ICE raids - he'll have them rounding up POC around election time, detain them until after the vote.
He’s right.
More complete bullsh*t.
My concern for 2026 - Trump claims widespread fraud risk requiring federal goons in key Dem strongholds, just enough to keep the Repub majority in the House…then for ‘28 he claims fraud concerns again and says elections are suspended until he can be sure they will be fair…which will be never…
And....he declares war with some country so he can "legally" suspend all elections!😡
US warships are already off the coast of Venezuela.

BINGO
His new ploy (idea from Putin): Stop mail-in voting. That will disenfranchise millions of voters for certain. 😡
What we are seeing now are reconnaissance missions.
We know. 😡
He is absolutely looking to declare martial law and not have any midterms.
Gov. Pritzker bringing the truth. By the way MSM knows exactly what Trump’s plans are, but just continues to ignore.
Not if he’s dying. Where is 47? Release the Epstein files!
It’s a relief to see American governors standing up to Trump - unlike the ancient mothballs in Congress.
Yep. I've been saying this for weeks.
Aaron Rupar of course! sharing✨
"Beyond Los Angeles...", WTF dude!?
That’s great. Completely bypassing the crime BS and talking about the real agenda. Which the corporate media STILL can’t seem to grasp.
Nothing will happen until it’s too late, and by then, it will be too late.
They are hoping to scare voters away from the polls. It will work to an extent and Dems need to factor that into their messaging.
Love that he’s saying it out loud, but he shouldn’t need to be prompted by a reporter. This should be shouted into every camera and podcast microphone from now until election time, along with a relentless ad campaign on all of social media. It’s not a distraction. This is their primary goal.
Just because Trump is fucking us slowly does not mean it's not rape. We are screaming NO and he continues fucking us. #RAPE
It's called "causing crime".
It's obvious to anyone paying attention. He isn't sending the military to cities with the highest crime rates. He's sending them to cities where he didn't win in the last election. He's using the military to intimidate Americans who did not vote for him. Gee, what could be his end game?
People need to, simply and completely, flood the streets in crowds so thick that they’re impenetrable. Wouldn’t that be beautiful?
True
Weasel Ed @edokeefecbs.bsky.social . Why does he not ask these questions in WH press briefings?
If Trump really cared about “solving crime” he’d work with states to come up with a plan to solve crime. He wouldn’t be sending in troops to invade specific cities, especially ones that have a much lower rate of crime than others.
He's one hundred percent right.
He’s not wrong!
Glad someone in power is saying this out loud.
For Christ sakes Americans. Deal with this already. It’s getting old.
Exactly bloody this
I love that they’re doing this interview at a family-owned Mexican restaurant
and this is exactly what trump is going to do
Let us not forget about the land grab. What Trump plans on doing in Gaza, he's planning on doing in large US cities (those that people actually want to live in).
Key word here is "claim" - he apparently doesn't have to prove any cause at all, no one requires him to, the claim is enough. He can and will claim anything and everything leading up to militarizing the election.
The really sickening part of this is that the military is capitulating to the Nazi Felon and willing to stand against this country and citizens. They're actually every bit as deplorable as the Nazi Felon.
Yes the military tends to the right but their oath is to the constitution not to the commander in chief at some point I would hope they will understand that this is more than a job
I have little hope that military members will uphold their oath to the constitution given so many voted for the Nazi Felon. Americans don't take an oath to the constitution serious. Law enforcement take an oath but most cops routinely violate civil rights, many are taught how to get around rights
some of the worst cops are ex military. Those elected to public office take an oath but also routinely ignore the constitution and vote against civil rights. Many voice the constitution but I don't believe most care about the constitution/civil rights given the US has never been a free nation.
Sad but true
yes. and not just Trump. He could not be doing this without the GOP's support, the right-wing Supreme Court
Very Accurate! Trump is not outsmarting anyone!
@democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social this is how you talk about Trump Call out his authoritarian moves for what they are.
It's a coup. He's dead.
At least one Dem.politician has the balls to state the obvious.
He’s absolutely right.
his other aim is to CONTROL OUR EVERY MOVE…
He ain't wrong
Right on.
Pritzker’s warning is chilling- troops in cities under the guise of “law and order” isn’t crime-fighting, it’s election-rigging prep. Democracy falls when soldiers "guard" ballots. #Democracy #Authoritarianism #Elections
Now you know why “ICE” wears masks. And the American people allow it. @gtconway.bsky.social
