“The president is attacking progressive cities with troops who are unwelcome and unskilled,” Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said last week in a letter signed by 16 mayors calling on Trump to reverse his orders. “Militarized agents are terrorizing the American people. We must stand together for peace and reform, and against these un-American tactics.”
Wolf said on Sunday that if officials in Oregon did their jobs, then the federal government would not have to send in its agents. (Let Trump do the job and help his reelection at the same time.)
“We see city leadership there has fostered an environment that allows these criminals to do this throughout the night, untouched, absolutely untouched. It's time for Portland to join other responsible cities around this country working with federal law enforcement to address this violence,” he said. (Let Trump do the job and help his reelection at the same time.)
Wolf added: “We need Portland to step up to the plate, do their responsibility and work with us to address violent criminal activity occurring every night.” (Let Trump do the job and help his reelection at the same time.)

Quote:Perhaps Trump should send soldiers to warn with bullhorns: "Don't stand in the street. Reelect Donald J Trump." That is a very fine use for troops! If governors of 25 states contradict him, Trump will go to the Supreme Court to get a ruling that it is perfectly proper because he is President and governors can't tell Trump anything he doesn't want to know. So there!

REAVERBOT: Why are you lying? Are you really that out of ammo that you have to lie?
Well, let's see.
Every time you call me - or anyone- a "Russian troll" you're posting unverified bullshit. Now, I happen to know for a fact that I'm not Russian and not a troll paid or otherwise, so I know for a fact that you're wrong.

Start at the start. "Your racial identity is the most important thing. Everything should be looked at through the lens of race." No one on the left has ever said such a thing. This failed attempt at humor is an attempt to attack the left with lies through a false centrism.

Getting back to Portland and the riots:
Quote:
Portland, Seattle Declare Riots; Chicago Pushback: Protest Wrap
(Bloomberg) -- Protests, in places violent, roiled U.S. cities overnight, as demonstrations reignited at the presence of federal troops.
In Seattle, a riot was declared after thousands of protesters battled with police: throwing rocks, bottles, fireworks and other explosives.
Other protests flared in New York, Los Angeles, Oakland, Omaha, Nebraska, among other cities. Police in Aurora, Colorado, said on Twitter that a vehicle drove through a crowd of protesters, one of whom fired a gun and hit another protester.

Maybe they should just teach it in schools?
I dunno. I think I probably learned from my parents before I was 2 years old not to stand in the street.
But at some point you can't blame bad parenting anymore. If a grown ass adult wants to role play Che Guevara in the middle of the interstate even when there is YouTube videos showing other grown ass adult LARPers being run down by vehicles that always win in that scenario, I think this is just Darwinism.
No pity from rational minds for idiots being mowed down by motorists if they're playing in the streets.
Call me when people start off-roading and hitting pedestrians on the sidewalks.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:Personally, I admire Trump's courageous response to Covid-19, which includes a tax cut. He is a strong and forceful leader fighting a pandemic with all his might and intelligence: "The president has been fixated on a payroll tax cut for months, even though it has fallen on deaf ears on Capitol Hill."

And Trump has used his vast negotiation skills (with N Korea for just one example, but there is also Iran!) to keep the USA safe from nuclear war! I feel so very pleased knowing Trump is in charge: "Fumbling the nuclear football: is Trump blundering to arms control chaos?"

And Trump has done a wonderful job about climate change: "As the president guts environmental regulations, an Interior Department official has been found sneaking misleading and debunked claims in government reports."

With 22 million illegal aliens living long term inside the USA, how many has Trump deported? Thousands! What an excellent job he has done! Just 22 million more to go and he will have completed the task: "Why Trump Has Deported Fewer Immigrants Than Obama. Trump, who made immigration a key plank of his 2016 campaign, is struggling to crank up deportations."

If you read only Trump's tweets, you won't know all the amazing things he has done to America.

America is Having the Mother of All Social Collapses
If American Life Feels Frightening, It’s Because It’s Imploding — In Gruesome and Catastrophic Ways
https://eand.co/america-is-having-the-mother-of-all-social-collapses-1
cac9aac0d17
When I say “The Mother of All Social Collapses,” I mean it. Trump’s America is a society that combines all the strands of social collapse that we know of — and then some. Yes, really.
Economically, Trump’s America is Soviet. Politically and socially, it resembles Nazi Germany. And culturally, it’s Taliban-esque, aggressively retrograde. That’s a lot of ruin for one country, which is why it’s so hard to put into words. It really is breathtaking and staggering when you think about it.
----
That brings me to the next thing Trump’s America is. It’s also pretty, well, Nazi. Yes, Nazi. Look, before you react angrily to that, sputtering into denial let me say one thing: the entire world thinks this. I’m only sharing with you what every single person who’s not American says to me every single goddamned day. From my friend Ben the grizzled London copper to my friend Art in Hong Kong to all my friends in Canada, Europe, and Africa. It’s the very first topic of discussion I have with a baffled and horrified world. Americans are the only ones who are still in denial about it.
Trump’s America is pretty Nazi. Come on — it’s not exactly hard to see. Concentration camps, kids in them, kids in cages in them, family separations, raids, bans, purges, hate, dehumanization, and so on. Who else does that? Accountants? Sure, sometimes, but when they do, they’ve become…Nazis.
We’re all taught about Nazism over and over again from the time we’re little kids, over and over again, so that it sinks into us. But while the entire world is now like “Wow, America turned kind of Nazi, huh?” by and large, within America, that’s still somehow a controversial proposition. You get the blank look from Americans when you say the word fascism — the one that everyone who’s not American knows, when the mind shuts down, when a truth too dangerous to utter has been spoken. Of course, that’s also fascism.
Trump’s America is a place where the denial of the good people runs rampant. Nazis? What Nazis? Where? Denial is a crucial element in a society turning politically Nazi. When I say “America resembles Nazi Germany politically and socially,” I don’t just mean the Trumpists — I also mean the regular old American who’s the only person left on planet earth who’s still in denial about it, like the good German of the 1930s.
