Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker pushed back Monday on President Donald Trump’s threat to deploy the National Guard to the state.
“What President Trump is doing is unprecedented and unwarranted,” Pritzker said at a news conference. “It is illegal. It is unconstitutional. It is un-American.”
Pritzker claimed Trump is manufacturing a crisis and noted that neither he nor Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson had been contacted by the White House about working together.
Pritzker pointed out that murders, shootings, robberies and burglaries are all down year over year.
well to be completely fair the natl guard also volunteered , as adults, knowing full well how this military operates and has for decades … (i have no sympathy for anyone who has volunteered to be a member of this military.)
however, i was speaking more to the corporations who choose to support these deplorable policies for profit.
They’re 18 year olds who are poor and need the hand up. They were probably lied to as well.
PSA break: Get everything in writing, do not trust a recruiter under any circumstances unless it’s in writing.
*Most took a gamble and lost.
i don’t disagree and it saddens me. I’d like to think we, as a society, can help them not join. However so much marketing an configuration has happened that makes it all but impossible for some kids in some areas. This is, of course, the plan. :(
