In case you missed it, on Saturday I talked about the fact that Marxist Democrat mayors around the nation are serving as the linchpins in the Democrat effort to destroy our societies democratic foundations and institutions by sowing utter chaos in their cities.
Today, a group of these mayors, including several singled out in that Saturday piece, continued their culture war, sending a letter to the DHS and DOJ demanding that federal personnel be removed from their cities, where they have been protecting federal buildings and other property.
At the same time, President Trump promised to continue to use federal law enforcement to protect federal property that is being damaged and attacked by the Democrat-sponsored rioters in the cities being ruined by these and other Marxist mayors.
From a piece at The Hill:
Trump was asked in the Oval Office about reports that the government was sending 175 federal troops to those cities to aid local law enforcement.
“Well, it depends on what your definition of ‘troops’ is,” he told reporters. “I mean, we’re sending law enforcement.”
Trump cited heightened violence in Chicago and New York City, in particular, both of which have seen a rise in shootings in recent weeks. In the latter’s case, he blamed city and state officials for restricting police from taking a stronger response.
“I’m going to do something — that, I can tell you,” Trump said. “Because we’re not going to let New York and Chicago and Philadelphia and Detroit and Baltimore and all of these — Oakland is a mess. We’re not going to let this happen in our country. All run by liberal Democrats.”
The government is expected to send 150 agents to Chicago this week. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told Fox News that the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security would roll out specific plans of action on deploying federal resources later in the day.

As is his habit of doing at inopportune times, Rand Paul weighed in with a completely nonsensical statement on Twitter:
Yeah, well, Senator, that’s the problem: Local law enforcement is not being allowed by these despicable mayors to do their jobs. Pay freaking attention before spouting off.
So, a showdown is brewing, and it is one that by law these mayors cannot win. The Federal government has an absolute right to protect its own property, especially when local officials fail or, as in the case of these depraved mayors, refuse to do so.
DHS is supposed to produce a detailed plan for the deployment of more federal LEOs tonight or tomorrow. Stay tuned.
That is all.
Move the Federal Bureaucracy out of DC, Maryland and Virginia to GOP States, leaving the workers behind.
I have a some sense for Philadelphia since I grew up there. Trump is going to slay Biden in PA with the help of some sections of Philadelphia.
and this is where the libertarians and conservatives differ. Trump has every right to send these men in because the local governments are doing nothing and people are dying.
Libertarians are a whole heck of a lot better than Democrats but they are not conservatives.
In this instance rand was wrong
Who knew
The modern Rat party is the party of State’s Rights
Next thing you know they’ll dust off a statue of Jeff Davis and mount it in front of the Portland and Seattle City Halls
Send one office in Staten island. I could use a higher-paying job :)
Arrest the Demoncrat mayors and governors and charge them with sedition, insurrection, murder, and treason.
Hold them in Guantanamo until their trials since they are flight risks with Soros around.
I would move ALL federal gubmint employees out of the city, close all federal agencies there, and tell the mayors tough shit. That includes post office, fed courts, immigration, marshals, TSA, etc. All mail would be dumped in a warehouse and you go there to find it. No investigations into bank robberies or kidnapping. No planes to fly out of the city because of no terrorist inspections. No fed moneys given to the city gubmint. No IRS but liens put on all properties because of no tax payments. I would love to see this.
The Coast Guard doesn’t have a station on the Island?
I totally concur.
Start tomorrow.
Make all of Portland go to Pendleton for services.
Postpone the micement of all Federal Monies into the cities, except Social Security. Reassign every federal employee to a zone or a state that wants a constitutional government. Starve the rats. This is a concerted coup effort with big city mayors obeyinf Satan and some other entities. They can repent. I don’t expect them too. Satan hasn’t.
They apparently made an assessment that causing chaos on Trumps watch will get Biden elected.
The Mayors of several cities are guilty of RICO—they are engaged in a criminal conspiracy.
They need to be indicted—otherwise they are being rewarded for their criminal conduct.
.
Recall and prosecution for willful negligence ...

“They apparently made an assessment that causing chaos on Trumps watch will get Biden elected.”
They tried that on Richard Nixon in 1972 - it backfired on them, big time.
It all depends on whether the voters see what they are doing.
They want to sow chaos, restrain the police and disarm the rest of us.
True.
Great idea.
>>I would move ALL federal gubmint employees out of the city, close all federal agencies there, and tell the mayors tough shit. That includes post office, fed courts, immigration, marshals, TSA, etc...<<
I agree 100%. Remove all Fed entities and let the cities descend into chaos.
