Oh, you insufferable ASS!

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Statement from Mayor Keith Wilson

“President Trump has directed ‘all necessary Troops’ to Portland, Oregon. The number of necessary troops is zero, in Portland and any other American city. Our nation has a long memory for acts of oppression, and the president will not find lawlessness or violence here unless he plans to perpetrate it. Imagine if the federal government sent hundreds of engineers, or teachers, or outreach workers to Portland, instead of a short, expensive, and fruitless show of force.”

I've seen photos of dozen of the "war weary" forced to stand in line at coffee shops, Antifa shock troops doing yoga in parks, hundreds of Antifa mobile troops on bicycles some with K-9 units, stores with their glass windows unsheltered and their merchandise on the street for sale to anyone. Oh the humanity of it.
Photos and more here.

"unsheltered" was meant to be unshattered. I didn't notice that autocorrect had done its thing.

Joyce Vance White has a more serious take on this topic.

Before the election, MAGA said their top priorities were lowering "grocery" prices and releasing the Epstein files.
Now MAGA says their top priorities are invading Portland and sending billions of dollars to Argentina.

Is trump listening to and watching Dope's sources?


SNIP During a Sunday morning phone interview with NBC White House Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, though, Trump made some remarks that seemed to indicate he might be backing off his military plan for Portland.

Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what's being portrayed to him.

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

Kotek said she told Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Saturday morning that troops are not needed, and she believes Trump does not have the authority to deploy the military to Portland.

"We can manage our own local public safety needs," Kotek said. "There is no insurrection, there is no threat to national security." SNIP

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said the 'necessary' number of troops needed that Trump referred to in his social media post is "zero."

"We can manage our own local public safety needs," Kotek said.

Then why don't you, governor?
