Do you think someone this stupid, KNOWS they are this stupid and in over their head? Will they admit defeat?

Classic, clinical example of Dunning-Kruger in size 5 shoes. She is the Mayor, so she believes she knows all, and CANNOT be wrong.
When her cunning plan comes unwrapped, and it will, it will be someone else's fault, probably Trump's.

I just can't see these Communists admitting that they are a walking, talking pooch screw, and quietly strolling away, probably down here to Portland.

You must be kidding. Never, never happen.

My question is: is she calling higher-ups in the Democrat party and asking for help?

If so, I wonder what kind of offers of assistance she's getting? Or are they treating her like a leper, writing her off as hopelessly damaged. I don't think they did that with Stephanie Rawlings-Blake after she gave the mob "room to destroy" in Baltimore, but Stephanie had something going for her that Jenny Durkan lacks.

Not just stupid, but inexcusably ignorant. If she just looked at the history of occupations like this, except far less serious, there isn’t a one that hasn’t had to be ended by force, either passive or active. Passive force would be closing off the area and active would be entering it and physically removing the occupiers. The big difference between this and its predecessors is the terrorists have actually formed a rudimentary soviet and are governing a group of people who’ve had no say in the takeover. That’s very headdy stuff for the terrorists, not something they’ll voluntarily surrender, especially when they’re the ones with the guns.
