Democrats love to protest

[dmallord]

He’s been impeached. Twice. Acquitted. Twice. Tried in civil courts and criminal courts. And re-elected. He’s back.

You're trying to say the Felon is a candle glowing in the darkness?

That's not an exemplary flag to wave, considering the felon was also convicted. What does that say about Americans who support such a vile individual and hold him in admiration? I suspect history will not treat him kindly, likening him to figures like Stalin, Mussolini, Putin, Saddam Hussein, Mao, Kim Jong Un, and Gaddafi; there are more, but he praised them, so you get the connections.

Who buries his wife on a golf course fairway and tries to claim it as a tax exemption for being a cemetery? That's the guy you chuckle 'is back.'

US appeals court lets Trump send troops to Portland​

Oct 20 (Reuters) - A divided U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday that Donald Trump can send National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon, despite objections by the leaders of the city and state, giving the Republican president an important legal victory as he dispatches military forces to a growing number of Democratic-led locales.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the Justice Department's request to put on hold a judge's order that had blocked the deployment while a legal challenge to Trump's action plays out.

The court said that sending in the National Guard was an appropriate response to protesters, who had damaged a federal building and threatened U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

The unsigned majority opinion was joined by Circuit Judge Bridget Bade and Circuit Judge Ryan Nelson, who were both appointed by Trump in his first term. Nelson also wrote a concurring opinion saying courts have no ability to even review the president's decision to send troops.

That will be the case when he decides to use the Insurrection Clause as well.

not quite sure why this is directed toward me particularly

enjoy your senseless shooting of innocent animals, at least use a bow and arrow to make it a challenge perhaps

That’s the dumbest thing I have ever read, you need to do a little research and less listening to the mainstream media

 

[ll74]

It’s hard to believe how many people are out there that have no clue what is going on in this country, so many believe what the main stream media tells them

Did you ask them?

I’m saying that Democrats have spent more than a decade doing everything in their power to get rid of Trump. The Russia collusion hoax based on a fake dossier, sham impeachments, civil lawsuits, a criminal conviction under an obscure NY state accounting law, and even efforts to keep him off the ballot in a couple of states.

The Democrat party has been living in a fantasy world in its belief that these tactics work. They are stunned that Trump won the popular vote and the electoral college after all this. To see Democrats on this board still posting predictions of Trump’s forced removal from office before his term ends via impeachment illustrates how detached from reality and mainstream America the party remains after all these years.

I just wanted to advise you of yet another instructive moment in the decline of judicial discipline when another emotionally compromised, TDS-infected district judge abandoned law for self-therapy and was predictably reversed, even by one of the most liberal appellate courts in the nation, which, for once, remembered its duty to reality.

Theres no "war zone"...so...

Why should I waste my precious time disputing something with you that you obviously have no intention of having an actual discussion about?

I put up a post about political violence:
Name the One Political Party Led by Those Who Call for Violence
Hint: It is not the Democrats.

Your "discussion" consisted of saying "bullshit" or indicating you haven't even read the link or the parts of the article I quoted (see below). If you don't want to discuss or dispute, why do you keep posting about it?

. . . Charlie Kirk, July 24, 2023: “Joe Biden is a bumbling dementia filled Alzheimer’s corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America.” . . .

. . . In 2020, Steve Bannon called for beheading Dr. Anthony Fauci and then-FBI director Christopher Wray. Before she was elected to the House, Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed social media posts that urged murdering Rep. Nancy Pelosi and FBI agents, and she expressed support for hanging Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The current FBI director, Kash Patel, reposted a video of himself taking a chainsaw to Trump’s political enemies, including former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff. . . .

. . . The leader of the Republican Party has expressed, embraced, and encouraged violent rhetoric and with his J6 pardons he has promoted acceptance of violent action—violent action on his behalf. There is nothing remotely comparable to this within the Democratic Party. . . .

. . . For decades, stretching back to McCarthyism, vilifying Democrats and liberals as anti-God, anti-family, anti-America has been an essential part of Republican strategy. . . . . Newt Gingrich advised his Republican comrades to deride Democrats as “traitors” and perilous for children. Sarah Palin called Barack Obama a pal of terrorists and a dangerous socialist. Glenn Beck said Obama planned to wreck the economy so he could become a dictator. Trump came along and turned the volume up to 11. . . .

Because the absence of a declared “war zone” does not suspend the President’s constitutional duty to enforce federal law. Under 10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255 and § 12406, the Insurrection and Militia Acts, the Commander in Chief is expressly authorized to deploy troops when state or local authorities fail or refuse to protect federal property or personnel. Portland was not “peaceful protest,” it was a weeks-long assault on a federal detention facility, the very symbol of law itself, carried out with the acquiescence of municipal leadership. The President doesn’t need the governor’s permission or a battlefield declaration to defend federal jurisdiction. He needs only the Constitution and the dereliction of those who mistake anarchy for free speech.

Yes that frog was smashing up the place, the unicorn...oh man, his rainbow farts assaulted nostrils everywhere within a radius of 3 feet! The T RTex costume...man...that guy could have effed up some people if he was only on Isla Nublar! and those others...holy hell...dressed up like normal citizens who sat there playing cards...illegal gambling for funsies! FUCK THAT

what the fuck are you talking about?!
my aunt and uncle live about 2-3 blocks from the ICE detention. They sent pics and shared videos. There was nothing. Not when Kristi Noem and her botched surgeries were there, not at any other time.
I dont know what fuck propaganda you were watching on what schlock network or website but holy hell, 10 people walking around, laughing, holding up "punny" signs, some dressed up in silly costumes purely to mock Trump and the GOP...but ok, believe whatever you want.

Dumbasses, all of you

What you just typed reads less like a report and more like a fever dream scribbled on a pillow case. Unicorn farts and T-Rex rampages aside, the fact is: your anecdote about your aunt and uncle doesn’t magically rewrite weeks of documented assaults on federal property in Portland, captured on multiple sources beyond “schlock websites.” Mocking costumes and signs don’t change the law; nor do they negate the fact that federal facilities were repeatedly vandalized while local authorities stood by. Laugh at the “punny signs” all you want, it doesn’t make trespass, arson, and obstruction of federal operations disappear. Facts are stubborn like that. Your post appears more like a performance of moral outrage masquerading as analysis, designed more to entertain the ego than inform anyone of the true facts on the ground in Oregon.

 

[Rightguide]

Nope, just enforce the law. Note as well that those troops will not be enforcing the law against civilians other than to protect the federal facilities and the safety of Federal agents.

more than one documented assault on federal property = send in the troops yes?

so say...when J6 rioters assaulted police officers, govt officials etc on what is obviously government property, they probably should have not only sent in the troops, but made sure those people were put away for a long prison sentence? or does it not cut both ways?

99% of those people showing up to protest at the ICE detention center in Portland were just normal citizens peacefully protesting and then a whole TEN people have been arrested for assault who may or may not have actually committed a crime.
Yep..indeed a "war-ravaged" city under "siege" by "Antifa, and other domestic terrorists" warranting the fully authorized the use of "Full Force, if necessary" where the armed guards were undoubtedly in fear for their lives...by those frogs and unicorns. Yep, there needs to be troops sent out.


OR

Trump wants to make a point of sticking it to one of the major cities thats generally extremely liberal and openly and happily defies him, pays for instigators, then when some fights break out, uses it as an excuse to send in troops...hmmmm

 

[AlwaysHard35]

Why troops in Portland ? Because the majority of the residents want law and order in their city and the elected officials are not doing anything about it. Of course, if you listen to the main stream media, there is nothing wrong with anything in Portland. But, that's your decision, believe what you may. Maybe try doing a little research, your phone is your window to the world, use it for that.

War zone ? Streets being torn up every night, beatings, robberies, stores closed. Not the America that people are used to living in. I know you will come up with some story to suit your narrative, that I expect

You don't need the military to enforce the law.

Making up fake emergencies also isn't needed

What about the Hispanic couple I talked with? Were they not there? And the black guy who helped me when I dropped my sign? He wasn't? I don't believe either of those were elderly white people....maybe they were disguised
