To go beat up hipsters with pet pigs who run the local tattoo parlor? Have these idiots ever stepped foot in Portland?

He wants to start a civil war. It would provide him with the reason he needs to further destabilize America and, eventually, become a full blown dictator.

The best thing the people of Portland can do is nothing. Let the troops stand in the roads for a while. Don’t even protest.

Any reason why or? Just whatever now?

Imagine being a high-school kid. You got talked into enlisting, sold on the dream of bravely serving your country, traveling the world, fighting terrorism, defending democracy wherever it is endangered... all the stuff they say to sell it. And then you get deployed to... Portland.

Imagine being a veteran in 20 years. "Where did you serve?" "Memphis."

If this weren't a violation of American norms, an abuse of power, an attempt to silence cities and states that push back on the Trump regime, and the precursor to the coming attempt to fully dismantle our democracy as we know it, it would actually be kind of funny.

What a wild headline for someone from 2012 to read, for so many reasons

Well, we ARE war ravaged here, and the place is total hell. I mean, I had to wait 15 in line at the ice cream shop, that's inhuman.

He's going to run out of troops. What an idiot. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake, I suppose.

Doing stupid shit like this is a good way to continue to lose support.

No one asks how we will pay for this like they do when we need to help people.

Every person along the chain of command here is in violation of their oath, and openly committing an act of treason. Anyone who has taken an oath to defend the country from threats, “foreign and domestic,” is now required by their oath to put these invaders down.

Any military force invading US territory, regardless of if they are themselves US soldiers, is now a legitimate target and civilians have every right to self-defense against them.

Looks like all that money saved is going to be spent on security theatre. Sad display for pathetic people.
