    Contemplating popping popcorn for Rahm-Trump showdown. Sadly, using Chicago to personify "carnage" is still Trump obsessing abt Obama.

        Chicago, I'm increasingly thinking, is also code for "black people". Violent crime isn't especially high for city of its size

        I agree. He also let Comey endorse Ferguson Trutherism which likely came largely fr Chicago's corrupt cops.

        Chicago is racist stand-in for black on black crime.

        I'm no Trump fan but Obama chose to give his farewell in Chicago, as if he had no problem with Rahm's tenure.

        I had the same thought re Obama. His way of asserting dominance. It's so sick.
