Trump orders troops to “War ravaged” PORTLAND

"Now, evidently, my cycloptic colleague informs me that that can't be done.
Uh, can you remind me what I pay you people for? Honestly, throw me a bone here!"

Absolutely psychotic rhetoric. Amazing that folks like zen are trying to “bosides” this situation as some sort of infringement on routine presidential power to “protect federal property.”

So what happens if Pritzker orders the Illinois National Guard to prevent the Texas National Guard from entering the state?

Well, well. I guess the Old Confederacy is finally going to win the Civil War! I look forward to Trump's Executive Order making the Confederate Battle Flag our new national flag and changing the name of the country to the Confederate States.

"Won in a colossal landslide" = won by less than 1.5% and got under 50% of the popular vote. That automatically negates all of his other claims. And I thought the GOP was the party of states rights and small government and so on? I guess not if they're the ones in control of the federal government and want something imposed nationally. The only real philosophy the Trump GOP has is a drive for unlimited and absolute power and control. Period.

This has got to make all the state’s rights conservatives a bit uneasy, at least with respect to the jackboot being on the other foot.

DO you think the WH officials call Miller "Mr. President" in front of Trump, or give Donald the courtesy of waiting till he is out of the room?

Why would it? They know liberals will never put the jackboot on the other foot, so it is free rein for them to do their fascist thing and then if they lose power, they will go back to mewling and begging for unity.

Nothing will get better until the conservatives are forced to understand that rules apply to them. They are like children in that regard. Children need timeouts and so do right-wingers.

Troof. If Obama did this, Republicans would be going nuts calling him Hitler, while Democrats would be bending over backwards to describe this as a perfectly reasonable use of federalized assets meant to secure federal buildings against an out of control mob.

“… (There have been 58 murders in Portland all year as of Oct. 1.)“

50 murders per weekend! That’d be more than 2,500 murders in a year!

I'm really thankful Trump and Miller are trying to protect us from all the crazy leftists causing problems around the Portland ICE facility.

It must feel really nice to create a lovely hypothetical where everyone is equally hypocritical and at fault. A lot easier than having to deal with what is actually happening in the real world. And great for absolving oneself of any responsibility to stand for any sort of principles at all.

We don’t have to imagine. The fake Jade Helm conspiracy had Texas MAGAs calling Obama Hitler.
