In the wake of the shootings in El Paso and Dayton that left at least 31 dead, Trump tweeted: "Let us not overlook that Chicago experienced its deadliest weekend of the year. With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy Cityand little national outrage or media coveragewe mustn't become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day."
But as CBS Chicago pointed out, in fact no fatal shootings happened near a playground. Seven people were wounded in a shooting attack after midnight near a playground in Douglas Park, when no children were present, but no one died.
"She got the numbers wrong. She got the location wrong. That's the danger of trying to govern via tweet," Lightfoot said.

Here is the video of my mayor really pissed about Ivanka and her tweet:

(15,330 posts)She's attempting to change the focus from "Hair Hitler" and his racist KKK enabling, to the "scary black man".
Anyway, a while back I posted my thoughts on KKK Barbie, and this entire fucking family. Promised myself that I would cut and paste it whenever Eva Braun thought that ANYONE gives one-fuck what she has to say.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is evidence that America...and possibly the entire fucking world has not only crashed through the Looking Glass, but we are now using the broken shards to slit our fucking wrists.
Every fiber of my being, from the deepest depths of my soul, to the tips of my male nipples in the frozen-food section at Harris Teater, knows with a crystalline, pure spar certainty, that I should NOT BE REQUIRED to give ONE-FUCK what this soulless, hell spawn "Netherworld Barbie" has to say about fucking anything.
My intellect, my psyche, my conscience, my decency and grace...all tell me that I shouldn't even be required to know who in the fuck these people are.
I know that these lifeless, grifting, vapid, empty vessels deserve NOT ONE NANO-SECOND of my serious thoughts.
These spray-on-tan, Loreal of Paris, plastic, Axe-Body Spray wearing morons SHOULD BE THE MOST FUCKING INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WE EVER ENCOUNTER.
Their impact on our lives should have the same effect of a fucking gnat blocking the path of a charging rhino.
I will NEVER forgive fucking Donnie Shit for Brains voting morons for requiring me to take seriously A FUCKING BUNCH OF IGNORANT FUCKSTICKS that should NEVER be taken seriously
This fucking family and their supporters, are like dog-shit stuck in the grooves of your tennis shoes.

(9,426 posts)Since she is lardass Donnie's "senior advisor" it is understandable why he never makes a decent judgement. Nobody with a workable BRAIN is allowed into his group. Iwanka is worried daddy will be getting impeached, and she will be investigated. I, for one, would like to know how she is spending the $100 Million dollars she was given to "promote women in business" I think the only one who benefitted was her. Prolly went for more face filler and Botox, hair dye (which STILL cannot cover the dark roots) and expensive, but shitty looking outfits. Don Jr. seems to getting along just fine without any job. He still has his (well used up) "girlfriend". She will hang in there until someone better comes along, which can not be too hard to find except most men prefer women who have not been passed around like party favors.

The mayor actually phoned Ivanka to discuss the issue after she saw the tweet. Of course Ivanka has not returned the call. Like her daddy she has no interest in anything other than promoting the Trump brand.

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."

eevanka: in the Windy Cityand little national outrage or media coveragewe mustn't become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day."
Right, inner cities everyday, how noble, but funny how team trump trashes only liberal cities like chicago baltimore los angeles, while ignoring cities in trump voting states.
Houston Texas, 2017 stats, being pro gun with texas voting for trump & with similar demographics & population as chicago, had a higher total crime rate than chicago, and was at close parity in violent crime rates (chicago 1099, houston 1095).
Haven't heard eevanka or trump trash St Louis with the highest violent crime rate in america in 2017, near double that of chicago, as well as St Louis property crime rate being twice as high.
St Louis also has had a higher violent crime rate and property rate than trump's 'rat infested' baltimore, but when will we ever hear trump bash st louis, ha.

Well eevanka if you know people living in that crime infested guns galore St Louis (per trump speak), advise them to consider a move to much safer Chicago. About a third the murder rate.

Eevanka & trump like to trash cities in states which didn't vote for him, while ignoring the STINK in their own backyards.
