I’d genuinely be fine with that. If a bunch of shit hicks from Texas came to my city on a government subsidized tasting tour, I don’t think anybody would be mad.

So, these guys coild do the funniest thing ever and just every time theyre given an order to protect ice, get distracted by street food. Play up the ‘sorry I’m too fat to do my job, even when my job is just to stand there’ card.

Thing is, those are guardsmen. Probaly are called up and pulled from their families to end up in Chicago… All for the benefit of a deflecting old fuck that doesn’t want us to remember that he’s likely on the Epstein list for doing the dirty to underage girls.
This is the EXACT thing we’re supposed to forget. Epstein.

“likely”? I thought we were past this. He’s on the list more times than people have been able to count.

On the one hand, I feel bad for them. They signed up because it put a little extra food on their family’s plates, and they felt like they’d be helping out in case of a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, or similar. They likely don’t desire to enforce the anti-constitutional rulings of a degenerate. They’ll be fired at best for refusing, jailed or made an example of at worst.
But… they are still the hands carrying out the tasks. Fuck them. We live in a society where information is milliseconds away, and being ill-informed on a topic is only due to laziness. There are fucking cartoons that will explain constitutional law if you can’t read a text based article for long enough to grasp the topic, for fuck’s sake.

All armed forces members are required by oath, and therefore by law, to refuse unlawful orders.

This isn’t about fucking Epstein, this is a literal fascist takeover of our cities for fuck sake. At what point will you realize this?

If the Epstein thing had been handled properly we wouldn’t be in this mess.

People have been saying “It’s all a distraction!” in response to every single thing Trump has done for the past decade.

This isn’t an educated guess. We know he’s in there. The exact details of his involvement are need to prosecute, but we for sure without a doubt know. We may not know it directly from this case, but the sum of all of the evil shit he’s been a part of will easily lead you there, just not enough to prosecute this exact instance unfortunately.

Nobody’s forgetting hes a pedophile who has fucked tons of baby girls. We knew this before the Epstein list came out. He said it on TV.
Everyone who cares already hates him. The ones who dont never will.

It’s not that they know. It’s that we won’t allow the subject to be changed anymore. We’re bullying back. If you’re tired, consider taking a break in general, bc this is the only thing I’ve seen working, and it gets to places violence doesn’t reach.
Also, your criticism is helpful and I am NOT arguing against any of your salient points.

He even talked about fucking his own daughter if he had the chance

We’re a tool using species. Fat fingers can pull a trigger just the same as non-fat fingers (unless they are exceptionally fat, sure I’ll give you that one).
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 6 months ago
If you mean they’re a danger to everyone in the vicinity, yes absolutely.
But they’d still be a shit soldier. Lot more to combat readiness than ability to pull a trigger. (Though if the USA wants to fill its armed forces with obese people I won’t complain lmao)

…and when it’s time to run? Tool use didn’t stop a 400lbs gorilla from ripping you limb from limb. Dicks out for Harambe. I’m still not over it.
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Wait, did Harambe dismember an armed national guard? I was not paying attention at the time so I don’t really know what the story was. Crazy!

hes also drunk most of the time.
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Yeah he probably forgot what he was talking about because he left his nips somewhere and he’s starting to get the shakes
nanoswarm9k@lemmus.org 6 months ago
Liquid diet. Not good for marching.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 months ago
probably using them as human shields, since fat people are better at absorbing bullets.

I’m sure the people of Chicago will take every opportunity to thank them for their service.
