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.

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."

Portland Antifa brings guillotine to send message to ICE during Labor Day direct action outside ICE facility
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Southwest Portland on Monday for a heated anti-ICE Labor Day demonstration. Black clad Antifa militants rolled out a guillotine and torched an American flag, escalating tensions as agitators chanted, "We got the guillotine!"
ICE and Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers, tasked with securing the facility, issued repeated orders for the crowd to vacate restricted areas around the federal building. A loudspeaker announcement warned, "Everyone must leave this restricted area, or may be subject to detention, arrest, or exposure to chemical munitions for failure to depart the restricted area."
When the crowd, many equipped with riot gear and makeshift shields, failed to disperse, federal officers deployed chemical munitions such as pepper balls, smoke grenades, and CS gas to clear the area.

Rather than a symbolic guillotine, they should have erected a fully functional gallows like MAGAts did on the Capitol lawn.
Then they'd get a pardon if arrested, prosecuted, and found guilty.
And Trumpedo would tell them he loved them.

So according to you some instruments of public execution are okay but not others? That's an interesting position to take.

Sept. 4: Fox News airs a report about the Labor Day protest with footage of 2025 protests outside ICE. Mixed in misleadingly are clips from 2020 protests. One shows a federal officer pepper spraying a person in downtown Portland. Another shows protesters burning the base of the Thompson Elk Fountain.
Trump was watching Fox again?

I didn’t hear that at all in what he said.
It was more “Take the log out of your own eye before criticizing the speck in your brother’s eye”.
Or the shortened version: “Hypocrisy much?”
