Portland, Oregon in Trumps sights?

[Carl in Michigan]

Things are going in that direction. And to be clear, I believe it would be going in that direction with or without Trump. The difference is, he has the uncanny ability to get "conservatives" to cheer for all sorts of things that they ordinarily would be fiercely opposed to, if a Dem happened to be in charge at the time.

That's the natural flow of society when the libertarian agenda moves a "democracy" to anarchy.

I lived in Portland for 4 years in 1987 to 1991. Beautiful city and fairly sane in those days. Now it's a sewer thanks to democrats.

BS. I lived in Portland from 1991 through 1995, and the city was a mixture of liberals and right-wing extremists. The suburbs were mostly far-right nutjobs, and the small timber towns were almost exclusively extremist.

An authoritarian President invading cities that oppose him politically, IS a bad outcome. It's shitty, authoritarian government. Wake the **** up.

Sanctuary cities is the bad outcome

If Team Autopen had sent the National Guard to stop the violence in DC, and they were as stunningly successful as the NG has been under Trump, I would give Biden full credit for that - I probably would even avoid mentioning that he was in no way making any decisions as president. I'd give him credit for picking the right people to run the WH for him.

Would you really wish all the people who would be dead in DC - mostly black folk - if Trump had not brought the violent crime rate down so dramatically? That would be worth it to you so that we did not move in the "that direction?"

Sending American National Guardsmen into an American city to protect the American citizens and residents from violent attacks is not ...

Of course it is. Drop the pretense already. Is Trump sending the National Guard to any cities that support him politically??

Are you just here doing propaganda, or do you really believe this shit?

 

[IM2]

Finally!
An actual action of Trump that you oppose instead of just the name calling. I see you took my advice about making this "character" smarter. A little, anyway.

Sending American National Guardsmen into an American city to protect the American citizens and residents from violent attacks is not an "invasion." He's not just the president of the federal government. Donald Trump is the president for every crime victim in Chicago, New Orleans, Portland, and my own hometown of Houston.

If he fails to take steps to end the crime waves and to allow U.S. citizens to live in peace and be able to enjoy parks, sidewalks, public forums, schools, and nightlife in relative safety, he would be remiss.

Trump is acting illegally. You're fine with it because it doesn't affect you. You are a racist and you want to see whites abusing non whites in order to put us in this mythical place you racists believe we should be in beneath you. What Trump is doing will not reduce crime. It does absolutely nothing to address the causes. It is indeed an invasion, and Trump cannot send troops into cities arbitrarily. No emergencies are happening in any city in this country to justify this. Trump is going to **** around and get ended by somebody if he keeps this up.

 

[the watcher]

The democrats must be worried to death that the gambit to enable citizens to address crime and corruption and will do anything to control the narrative at this time. Whatever happens, we may not go back to business as usual after this exercise.

 

[whitehall]

Or you could ask "Is Trump in Portland's sights".

 

[dblack]

Yeah. It doesn't bode well. I suspect we'll flounder around in a police state for a while until China and Russia invade.

Sending the guard into cities is not the solution for crime, idiot. This is why you amateurs need to quit commenting on sociology matters because you don't know what you are talking about. It's based only on your feelings and stereotypes of certain populations.

Trump has not brought violent crime down in DC. It was already at a 30-year low. The same numbers Trump told you were false, he used to me his claim about a reduction, and you are stupid enough to fall for it.

The problems are in blue cities. Are there any large red cities anyway?

You appear to want a military state. Not only will we return to business as usual, things are going to get worse.

The only problem Trump cares about is that these cities reject his leadership. So he's making a show of strength to intimidate them. You can stow all the phony concern for crime and safety.

You're supporting our decline into a fascist police state. Stop.

That's fine you want to believe that nonsense, but he's enforcing federal law while being opposed every step of the way by the cities who don't invited these invaders in. It's your libertarian philosophy that created the mess

Libertarian philosophy will be crushed by your authoritarian heroes! Congratulations.

It's good that you clarified that. Many of Trump's supporters pretend to be libertarians.

They don't need it.

They don't need it.

Yes, of course. Only the non-believers need to be re-educated.

Would you feel better if he sent the La NG into Shreveport, La? It currently has a Republican for a Mayor and another one for Governor of the state.

Democrats are so sick that they would rather see citizens suffer than admit there is a crime problem.

 

[Concerned American]

My goodness, is it possible that Portland could slide backward to the point that it looks like some of the similar sized cities in red states? No, I don't think so, our average guy and gal are a bit more intelligent than that.

My first exposure to someone who was educated in the Portland school system was a kid in grade school who was taught that amn't was a word.

You're seeing all of this in a completely different way because you (like so many others here) still believe we have a genuine 2-party system.

The permanent establishment (regardless of which fraud politician happens to be in power) is using a tactic on you guys that you seem to be completely oblivious to. It's called Problem - Reaction - Solution. To sum it up, they create the problem (or allow an existing problem to get worse).... That problem causes a reaction from the public (people crying out to the government to "do something!")....and then the government "comes to the rescue" with the "solution" - which just so happened to be the pre-existing agenda in the first place. They just needed a pretext. Problem - Reaction - Solution.

They use this tactic all the time. That's why it's amazing to me that so many people still seem to be blissfully oblivious to it.

But I don't want to argue about this, you either get it or you don't. If you don't see it by now, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I'll just leave it with this... any authoritarian power that you grant to an administration that you approve of is still going to be there once an administration you don't approve of is in power. You said you wouldn't mind if the same thing was done under a Dem. But will you feel the same when they start claiming that gun-owning patriots are "domestic terrorists" or that anti-globalists are "mentally ill"? You may think that's far fetched, but things like that have already happened. And their ultimate agenda is subversive, so of course freedom-loving patriots are enemy #1 to the powers-that-shouldn't-be.
