McAleenan elaborated that Buffalo, New York and Detroit, Michigan were no longer in consideration.

Trump says he's not considering sending troops to Iran, but he 'absolutely' wouldTrump dismissed The New York Times' report that he's reviewing a plan to send hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to Iran as 'fake news' So now we're at a point where the made up 'reports' must be right. And if Trump dares to not agree and then tells the truth then he is the bad man. Yeah he'd send a lot more than that he said he thinks you'll have a war to keep people from resisting him but it won't happen until kill a lot of people just like Nixon and Bush for nothing. You know Trump is lying because his lips are moving.

If Bill de Blasio knew about this and covered it up, if Bill de Blasio, who do my understanding is in charge of the police in NYC, if Bill knew about police brutality and was not responsible about it, HE NEEDS TO BE TRIED IN A COURT OF LAW IMMEDIATELY
