I think it’s time for Trump to make an example of Portland.

I would like for the White House to issue the following statement:

“Due to the refusal by municipal officials to accept our offer of law enforcement assistance, the US Government can no longer guarantee the safety of Federal employees within the Portland city limits, nor the safety of any residents or visitors to the Portland metropolitan area.

I have ordered the Federal buildings in downtown Portland vacated and physically secured by close of business tomorrow, August 31st. All Federal employees will be granted two weeks paid personal leave beginning Tuesday September 1st, at which point they will be advised as to wherethey should report for resumption of duty. No Federal services attended to out of the buildings in the City of Portland will be provided during this two week period.

It is my hope that the officials of the City of Portland will be successful in resuming normal operations in the absence of US Government personnel.”

Yep. He only got the position in June because the previous police chief (a white female) stepped down so they could appoint a black person to the position. This is what happens when you give jobs to people because of the color of their skin and not because of their experience and qualifications.

CNN is so concerned now.

Get ready for a nauseating blame Trump narrative to evolve.

Ehhh

He was set up to fail thanks to the mayor and governor. I don’t really think it’s on him. He and his department are out of their depths. They need help. Badly.

Only problem there is that, as usual, Trump's really doing the exact right thing by protecting the U.S. government assets. He could/would do what you suggest if he weren't actually by default drawn to fulfilling that duty and obligation.

Who else overuses their word reimagined? Kamala. Anyone who believes she and Biden aren’t lock-step with these domestic terrorists are too stupid to live or are willfully ignorant.

Yup. Because if the Republicans are dead, then they can vote Dem.

Wheeler's father named his son Edward at birth, but Edward is a strong and manly name. So Edward decided to go by Ted.

That's really about all you need to know

“At what point does Trump just send in the fricking military?”

Federalism prevents Trump from sending them in unless asked for.

But . . . Trump already hinted at this during the New Hampshire rally Trump: “unless we call it an insurrection, but that’s a big statement”.

BLM/ Antifa are trying to overthrow the US govt for socialism and the local Portland govt are complicit in supporting and encouraging it. If it keeps on he can declare an insurrection and send in the federal troops to put it down. Like the Whiskey Rebellion in 1791: LINK But maybe not until Nov 4 for political reasons unless people start getting killed left and right (pun intended).
