Why is that always the go-to line? Did that many far-right Republicans leave when they had to endure 8 years of Obama or 4 of Biden?

Because idiot liberals seem to hate life in America like the OP so it's worth the ask. It would be better for all parties if liberals did follow through and leave the country.

Whatever it takes to arrest these hyenas and get them a one way ticket to a sub Saharan country with no hope of return.

So what if the Portland thing is only a handful of people and a couple of blocks? Great, locals know not to venture into that area.

You're missing the point. Locals should not ever have to stay out of any particular areas of big cities for fear of what a roving band of communists might do to them. There were plenty of videos coming out of various cities in that wonderful summer of 2020 of old ladies being accosted, people in their cars being prevented from moving when they turned on the wrong road, stuff like that. I recall one particularly awful video of a white guy crossing a street, and a black thug ran up behind him and caved in the dude's head with a brick, all while someone else gleefully filmed it.

None of that is acceptable behavior.

Republican leaning men and women are not prone to irrational thought, tend to lead productive lives, place importance on the family, are good citizens, procreate, and are not stricken with guilt. And are willing to stay home and fight against the cultural marxists.

Also, remind me when the Republicans rampaged and burned down their neighborhoods?

It's the playbook:


It's not happening
You don't understand the situation
Some lame excuses for the videos showing it happening
It's police/feds escalating to provoke fear
Ok, it's only a couple of blocks that all the locals know about and avoid<~~~~~~~~~~~we are here.
It's really happening.

I can't think of anyone o the right that continually threatens to leave the country because somebody got elected they don't like. The left, on the other hand, are past masters at it - George Clooney, DeNiro, Rosie, Kimmel, that low-rent actress from Desperate Housewives, etc.

We could just let ICE do their job?

Wouldn't need judges or acts. Just let law enforcement enforce the law.

Oh I forgot, must resist comrade!


This is your party Dems. You empowered the crazy fringe to run the show and they are the ones destroying the country.

I have a best friend that lives in Portland. The city isn't burning down. The crazy area is a block or two and locals know to stay away. Just like Houston or Dallas or any other city.

So why let the domestic terrorists even have one or two blocks of a city? What is the tripping point for action? four, five blocks, 10 blocks, 50 blocks

The real enemy is from within.

As we have seen with Crossfire Hurricane, Arctic Frost, the January 6 Kangaroo Committee and the free shots the Biden Secret Service gave to Crooks in Butler County.

We have a Democrat Party protecting thugs while at the same time putting a bullseye on Federal officers trying to enforce the law.

The enemy is indeed within.

No they don't. According to my friend that works at the Corps of Engineers division headquarters downtown Portland. He's there every day for work.

According to my friend, your friend is a liar.
IOW, nobody believes your BS. HTH

what you have to keep in mind OP is that this is the behavior of a fundamentally weak administration. they're underwater on just about every issue, know that their window to live out their power fantasy is limited, and are overcompensating by making hollow shows of force/projections of strength to mask their incompetence.

---

How is this and all the other 80/20 issues stacking up for you?

No sane person believes the propaganda from the media and the Democrats DSA.

Back during the Civil War the vast majority of the land was not a battleground.

That my friends is the definition of a delusional post. Reminds me of Kamala now where she goes around claiming that the election was the closest in US history.

Can you provide a list of topics that Trump is underwater on?

And I went to the Notre Dame game and stayed in Chicago. It was awesome. Clean, no homeless, no cops on corners. Went from downtown to Wrigleyville and bar hopped in between. I understand South Chicago is a different area, much like parts of Dallas in San Antonio and other major cities. But downtown Chicago was very impressive.

Hey everyone, this guy spent a few hours in the most touristy part of a 10 million person city. He's basically an expert, believe his opinion not the statistics

From the same folks who brought you "It's just one or two apartment complexes."

It wasn't for our CFO a few weeks ago. While waiting to catch the subway in a "nice" part of Chicago he was sucker punched by a stranger for no reason. Never interacted with him or saw the punch coming. Just a random act of violence, and the dude walked off.

There's a clear pattern of big city leaders -- who are all Dems -- turning a blind eye to crime and refusing to cooperate with federal authorities on removing people here illegally.

That's a real problem. I don't care if it's one block in Portland or 100 blocks, if local authorities won't protect federal officers in the performance of their job, then the president does need to call in reinforcements. If that means the NG or Army, so be it.

The Arkansas governor discovered the same when he rejected federal law and refused to let black kids attend public school in Little Rock. The feds did the right thing then to call in the NG, and Trump is doing the right thing now.
