    Also keep in mind that intel is filters and coming directly from TULSI GABBARD!!

    Can you imagine how warped your brain is to where you see intel that Tulsi hand picked for you daily and you said…naw… let’s go crazier than that. Let’s talk about MEDBEDS!!!

    I did not personally like Portland.

    I did not like the weather and I did not like many of the people and some of the bizarre rules.

    Having said that - Trump going into Portland is a joke.

    The homicide rate is down 50% - violent crime is down 17% .... the city has had months this year without a homicide.

    Portland increased funding for crime prevention and services about 18 months ago and they have been very successful - the fastest falling crime rate in the country.

    In fact all of the cities that Trump has decided to flex his muscles in have seen crime rates in free fall before he came to town.

    This is all political theatre, and possibly conditioning people for or if he decides to declare martial law.

    Good grief.

    Yes, but sadly, I’d argue that what he sees on Fox News is better than relying on his "official intel".

    Stephen Miller is way worse, so yes.

    Troops aren’t in Portland yet.

    Seriously? Portland is a cesspool no point wasting time on it. It's a fools game to put time into wasting something so far gone.

    Divert your resources to Washington state and keep Antifa restricted to Portland.

    How are these people even sports fans much less basketball fans? The sight of somebody that isn't of their race or creed pisses them off?

    A Trump-appointed judge said the POTUS is untethered from the facts.

    This isn’t anything new. He’s in a personal echo chamber and barely knows what’s up and what’s down.

    Federal Judge Grants Restraining Order Blocking Trump From Deploying Troops to Portland - Portland Mercury

    In a sharply worded order, US District Court Judge Karin Immergut said the US government failed to prove protests in Portland have risen to a level requiring National Guard intervention. Immergut wrote that if the Trump administration’s arguments for deploying troops were accepted, it would “risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power—to the detriment of this nation.”

    "The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts," Immergut wrote.

    “This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs,” Immergut wrote. “This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.”

    that was for Trump 2.0's effort to federalize Oregon's national guards, .

    21 hours later,

    Newsom says Trump has deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Oregon, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...roops-to-oregon/ar-AA1NUqIK?ocid=BingNewsSerp


    Newsom and his AG, with more political clout than their courterparts in Oregon, filed a restraining order against
    Trump 2.0 latest illegal action

    A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from sending
    federalized National Guard members from California — or any other state — to the streets of Portland, Oregon.

    The decision from federal judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, came a day after she blocked
    Trump 2.0’s attempt to deploy Oregon National Guard troops in Portland.

    Yeah, the judge was NOT happy with the admin basically ignoring her 1st order. The admin tried to play cute and federalized the CA and TX National Guard to work around her initial ruling. She then issued a 2nd order prohibiting any state’s National Guard from being deployed to Oregon.

    This is nothing new. This admin will find loopholes or any possible way to bypass a judge’s order. Future judges should realize that when they issue an order against this admin, they should expect it to be violated in spirit through legal loopholes. The only way to prevent that is to preemptively close any obvious loopholes. Given the recent history of this admin consistently not acting in good faith, they shouldn’t give it the benefit of the doubt moving forward.

    Federal judge blocks federalized guard from deploying to Oregon - OPB

    “I am certainly troubled by now hearing that both California and Texas are being sent to Oregon, which does appear to be in direct contradiction of my order,” Immergut said

    “Mr. Hamilton, you’re an officer of the court,” Immergut stated. “Aren’t defendants simply circumventing my order, which relies on the conditions in Portland? Nothing has changed. Why is this appropriate?”

    Immergut told Hamilton he was “missing the point” saying the conditions in Oregon were such that “there’s no showing that a military help is necessary to protect law enforcement or the one federal building for ICE.”

    I'll just say this -- if these far-right wing supporters are so sure that what they are doing is right, why do they all hide their faces..... from the tiki torch rallies, to Proud Boys, to ICE and now these posters online.... they all cover their faces.

    Investigators are going to find a mysterious dead body in her pool with her DNA all over it.
    Somehow.
