Inhloko-dolobha yase-Illinois ingaphansi kokuqubuka kwe-war fever. Ngesaba ukuthi imvelaphi ingase ibe ngokwengxenye esinqumweni engasibhala esaphasiswa, ngokulungiswa okuhlukahlukene, ngamadolobha amaningi azungeze i-United States kanye neNgqungquthela YeziMeya zase-US.
The isixazululo yafundisa abantu abathile, yakha izingxoxo ezinhle, yakha ukunaka okuthile ekuhleleni impi, futhi yahlanganisa amanye amaqembu okuthula emzamweni ohlangene wokuqhubekisela phambili izinqumo eziningi ezifanayo. Kepha isidingo sayo sokuthi iCongress isuse imali kwezempi iye ezidingweni zabantu nezemvelo, kunokuba ngenye indlela, ibingakafezeki. Eqinisweni, iCongress inikeze amasosha imali eyengeziwe kunaleyo uTrump ayeyihlongoze.
Umbhalo wesinqumo ngokusobala uphephile ukuthi izakhamuzi zasemadolobheni ziwuphathe. Kodwa ubufakazi bubonisa ukuthi kungase kube yingozi kubashayimthetho bombuso abashintshwe ngofuzo. Ngibonga uRobert Naiman ngokungezisa ividiyo ngokwenzeka ngesikhathi ihlangana nabamele izwe lase-Illinois.
Ekubukeni ividiyo, ekuqaleni igciwane libonakala lingakhiqizi lutho. Ummeli Wombuso u-Laura Fine uchaza isinqumo ngokunembile futhi uphawula ukuvota okubonisa ukuvumelana kwawo nomphakathi wonkana.
Ngokushesha kakhulu, nokho, uRep. Jeanne Ives unenkinga yokuphazamiseka kwengqondo okucacile. Umemeza ethi akafuni ukuthi indodana yakhe indize indiza “engafanele”, njengokungathi isabelomali esincishisiwe sezempi singakhiqiza izindiza eziningi kodwa okungenzeka ukuthi ziphahlazeke kune-F35.
Ngesikhathi sokukhuluma kwakhe, u-Rep. Ives ubonakala ehlushwa ukuwohloka kwezimpawu. Ngesinye isikhathi ugxeka uhulumeni lapho ememeza ngokungafanele ngokuthi "isimo esibi kakhulu enyunyaneni." Ngaso leso sikhathi uthi izishayamthetho zombuso akufanele zibe nemibono mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwezimali kuhulumeni, uthi ikakhulukazi labo abangenawo umndeni kwezempi akufanele babe nemibono enjalo, futhi unikeza umbono wakhe - okusobala ukuthi ungowamasosha angenamkhawulo.
Ngesikhathi u-Ives ephelelwa umoya, igciwane selisakazeke ngokusobala ekamelweni. Ummeli u-David Harris uyanyakaza ukuze amemezele amanga ngokuphelele ukuthi isinqumo sidinga ukuqedwa ngokuphelele kwesabelomali sezempi, futhi ngamanga nje ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kuhlomulisa amasosha, bese - ngaphezulu phezulu kungene ngendlela ehlekisayo - ukuthi zonke lezi zimpi “zivikela inkululeko yethu.” Nokho abekho abasebenzi bezokwelapha abavela endaweni yesigameko futhi awekho ama-alamu azwakalayo.
Ummeli uCarol Ammons, ongenamaski noma esinye isivikelo, ubonakala engathinteki ngokuphelele yilesi sifo. Uncoma lesi sinqumo njengokuphikisa usongo lokuncishiswa kwezokuvikeleka komphakathi.
U-CD Davidsmeyer uthatha izintambo ngokushesha, nokho, kuphuma ubomvu obuthathelwanayo emlonyeni nasemakhaleni. Ngokusobala esimweni sokudangala, umemezela ukuthi uma uTrump enqamula amasosha ukuze axhase izidingo zabantu nezemvelo lapho abasekeli besinqumo bazosibhala kabusha basho okuphambene. Usopolitiki uphuma ephikisana nepolitiki ngaphambi kokuwa esihlalweni sakhe.
Ummeli u-Allen Skillicorn ukhwehlela umbono wakhe ovuthayo ngokumelene nanoma yimuphi umbono, futhi, ebona ingozi eseduze, u-Rep. Fine uhoxisa isinqumo esihlongozwayo futhi uyagijima aphume e-Capitol, aqonde Egunjini Lezimo Eziphuthumayo.
Ividiyo inqamukile ngaphambi kokuthi kufike ama-ambulensi namaphoyisa ukuzoqala ukuvalelwa kwabantu okudumile manje.
