Chicago

The idea of playing by the rules is a tough concept to grasp for some politicians, particularly those with ties to the ever-corrupt city of Chicago.  So when David Plouffe, Obama's former campaign manager and then Chief Policy Advisor for Uber, sent an email to Chicago's Mayor Rahm Emmanuel seeking assistance in fighting rules that would block Uber from picking up passengers at Chicago's airports, he probably thought his illegal lobbying efforts would go unnoticed.

Chicago is starting the year 2017 much like it did 2016: plagued with violence.

The number of shootings in the month of January nearly duplicated the tally from the start of last year, which was the bloodiest year in Chicago in more than two decades.

According to Chicago police, January ended with 51 murders, one more than last year.  Per HeyJackAss!, here is how the daily murder totals trended over the past month:

From ABC 7 Chicago:

After threatening to "send in The Feds" yesterday - after seeing the "carnage" in Chicago - President Trump asked (rhetorically) during his address to Congressional Republicans today, "what the hell is going in Chicago?" He received a surprising one-word answer that seemed to sum things up rather well...

"Democrats"...

In an interview with ABC's David Muir, Trump addressed his policy to restrict immigration from certain muslim nations, with a God hammer filled with redpills. Muir brought his bag filled with liberal care trolls, asking Trump if restricting muslims from entering the United States would cause 'more anger among muslims around the world' and Trump took said bag and ripped it to shreds.

Watch.

President Trump has seen the data and threatens to "send in the Feds"...

If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!
