    Just listened to an interview with Chad Wolf. He differentiated what is happening in Portland with "Operation Legend" which is what Trump was talkng about the other day. What is happening in Portland is protecting a Federal Courthouse, which is a Constitutional use of Federal authorities, with Operation Legend of sending Federal authorities into cities dealing with things like drug dealing and gang violence. Unless those things are happening across state lines or without the invitation of State government that is not Constitutional.

    It's important to note that what he says is happening is not actually what is occurring in Portland.

    It's times like these when Big-Government Republicans show their true government-sucking nature.
    Republicans LOVE the federal government and its big big big big appetite to spend money on weapons.
    Republicans=Big Government

    Definitely.



    Texas Declaration of Causes for Secession
    February 2, 1861
    https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ref/abouttx/secession/2feb1861.html


    We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.

    That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding States.

    Republicans love Big Government when they are in control of the government.

    If Biden were to win with Senate/House they will suddenly go back to preaching the tenets of small government.

    Clearly.

    You said some of us were sounding like the confederates pre civil war and I posted what the actual confederates sounded like pre civil war.

    See, you learned something without having to watch a four minute video. Yay!

    Political grandstanding aside, I'm curious how effective the Trump supporters believe this action involving secret police has worked in Portland? I assume you all still care about effective government. The crowds seem to have become bigger and more aggressive since then.

    "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

    He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

    How many people know what these lines are from?
