Protesters attempt to form so-called autonomous zone in downtown Portland parks

July 15th 2020

PORTLAND, Ore. – Protesters attempted to form what they call theChinook Land Autonomous Territory in downtown Portland parks overnight.

Demonstrators began erecting tents in Lownsdale Square on Tuesday night. The park is just across the street from the Federal Courthouse and was home to the "Occupy Portland" encampment in 2011.

Why is it that Trump is only doing this in Blue states, even when there are plenty of Red states with worse crime stats?

The administration’s public rationale (crime, public order etc) and its choice of high-visibility, Democratic-led cities (rather than a uniform, data-driven roll-out across the worst-crime states) is why critics call the deployments politically selective.

Because they are.

Very sad   :'(

Trump's Gestapo goons will start killing people soon.

It's too late now - this is the beginning of the end for America.

He'll continue to do this in blue states, then declare that the US is at war, and ultimately cancel all elections.

He was banned from using Oregon National Guard, so he’s flown in California National Guard instead to circumvent the Judge. I hope Oregon takes him to Court for an emergency injunction and to try him for contempt of Court. He really does deserve to be in prison for the rest of his natural life.

Trump said he didn't have the authority on Jan 6 to call out the National Guard in order to stop his Vice President from being hanged, yet he has no problem calling them out now to shoot jaywalkers.

I wonder what changed   :-/

For example?






     
     

     But Republicans have backed the president’s efforts, with Texas governor Greg Abbott writing on social media platform X that he “fully authorised” Trump to muster 400 Texas National Guard troops to Oregon.

“You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let [the] Texas Guard do it,” he said.

Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, told NBC News on Sunday that “in a few of these blue states, in deep blue cities that are run by soft-on-crime mayors, they need some help”.

You're at least right about one thing, he's playing the Godfather role to perfection. Trump isn't even pretending to care about the law anymore, he's flaunting his power precisely because he knows he's untouchable while in office. That isn't loyalty or strength, it's textbook criminal behaviour.


Quote:

Firstly, we still don't even know if the so-called assassination attempts were real, and the idea of "lawfare" being used against Trump is laughable. The justice system didn't suddenly become partisan, Trump broke the law, and the law caught up with him. The only reason he hasn't faced a sentence is because he's the President. That's it.

It's not because he's innocent, or because the charges lack merit, it's because the Constitution requires that he be impeached and removed from office before any criminal sentence can be carried out.


Quote:

Exactly. And it's one of the many reasons he'll keep leaning into that mob-boss persona, to ensure the Democrats can't retake Congress. Between the Epstein files, the looming economic collapse, and the erosion of his own base as they start to feel the pain of his policies, from ICE raids tearing apart families, to farms being lost, healthcare gutted, and cost of living soaring, Trump knows his survival depends on crushing the democratic process itself.

I don't think I'll provide you with the distraction away from your comment about Trump being a crime boss, especially after the big song and dance about the "Biden Crime Family".

Plus, we're not even at the midterms yet.  A week is a long time in politics, 3+ years is an eternity.

Plus, your idea of a strong candidate will be different to his.

aquascoot thinks the best candidate for the GOP is an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon who stole money from charities, befriended America's worst paedophile for more than two decades, mocked a disabled man on TV, groomed a 10-year-old girl in a hotel and openly admitted on several occasions that he'd like to have sex with his own daughter.

Nobody from the Dems would be able to meet that criteria.

That shows donny is loyal and a good friend to his family and friends.

He is Marlon Brando in the godfather.


You're at least right about one thing, he's playing the Godfather role to perfection. Trump isn't even pretending to care about the law anymore, he's flaunting his power precisely because he knows he's untouchable while in office. That isn't loyalty or strength, it's textbook criminal behaviour.


Quote:
If you want to take him on with assassination attempts and lawfare and disobedience then you have to accept the consequences.


Firstly, we still don't even know if the so-called assassination attempts were real, and the idea of "lawfare" being used against Trump is laughable. The justice system didn't suddenly become partisan, Trump broke the law, and the law caught up with him. The only reason he hasn't faced a sentence is because he's the President. That's it.

It's not because he's innocent, or because the charges lack merit, it's because the Constitution requires that he be impeached and removed from office before any criminal sentence can be carried out.

[quote]He is Marlon Brando in the godfather.


Exactly. And it's one of the many reasons he'll keep leaning into that mob-boss persona, to ensure the Democrats can't retake Congress. Between the Epstein files, the looming economic collapse, and the erosion of his own base as they start to feel the pain of his policies, from ICE raids tearing apart families, to farms being lost, healthcare gutted, and cost of living soaring, Trump knows his survival depends on crushing the democratic process itself.

[quote]The left made their bed, now they can lie in it.


That line is just your excuse for abandoning every principle you once claimed to stand for. When the rules were reversed, you screamed about fairness and justice. Now that your side is actually abusing power, not this BS about the "Biden Crime Family", you act as if there is nothing wrong and even consider it strength.

Do you remember a song about the night Chicago was saved. That would be more appropriate

Are you equating the protesters with Al Capone's gang? Do you remember the words of the song?

Protesters attempt to form so-called autonomous zone in downtown Portland parks

July 15th 2020

PORTLAND, Ore. – Protesters attempted to form what they call theChinook Land Autonomous Territory in downtown Portland parks overnight.

Demonstrators began erecting tents in Lownsdale Square on Tuesday night. The park is just across the street from the Federal Courthouse and was home to the "Occupy Portland" encampment in 2011.

It has been a lawless shithole for years.

What does abolish pigs and prisons mean?


Why is it that Trump is only doing this in Blue states, even when there are plenty of Red states with worse crime stats?


For example?


What source would you like?

The Third way reports on crime and murder rates comparing red and blue states and cities not and over the last 20 years, the data from Axios and the FBI?

What stats can I share with you to prove the point that you won't immediately dismiss because of the source?

All I know as someone who has been to Portland which is basically a smug hipster/filthy hippie cesspool of stoners and numerous failed musicians people there are way to mellow to riot. In fact, most of them don't wake up until after 2 in the afternoon.


As for Chicago. Yeah, f**king hate them.
