Oregon Governor: If Donald Trump asks me to deploy Guard, I'll say no.
Twitter ^ | April 4, 2018 | Governor Kate Brown

Posted on 04/04/2018 6:57:55 PM PDT by hiho hiho

If @realDonaldTrump asks me to deploy Oregon Guard troops to the Mexico border, I’ll say no. As Commander of Oregon’s Guard, I’m deeply troubled by Trump’s plan to militarize our border.

There’s been no outreach by the President or federal officials, and I have no intention of allowing Oregon’s guard troops to be used to distract from his troubles in Washington.

Only if the Guard is federalized. Until then they are under control of the governor of their state.

I, at times, just say f-it. We are a country that is so fractured I see no use in pretending that we are a united republic of American people under the Constitution and God. Some of these states are just as bad as mediocre to turd world countries. We are living an American Cold War and flirt with Civil War. The sh*t will hit the fan when the DNC gets power back.

“My guess is that Governor Kate Brown is scared witless that her state guard will tell her to slide buck-naked down a cactus.”

Kate ‘slot-licking’ Brown is scared sh!tless that Trump is going to keep future demoncrat voters from invading the country. She is also scared Trump will deport them.

Her signature issue is ‘motor voter’ laws. Signing up illegals to vote. Oregon had a 250,000 last year. Let that sink in.

Guess what you dumbass governor, President Trump will likely send your Oregon unit first. All he has to do is federalize the Guard and your dumbass can do nothing about it! You should have kept your liberal sewer spout shut!

Oh yes you will or Mattis will take it way from you. They are first and foremost US military reserve units.

The question I have is, who are the thieves and crooks causing his troubles in D.C. As a rainbow freak, is she one of them ? The pot keeps on boiling, it is just a matter of time before it spills over.

Trump’s plan to militarize our border.

When our border is under attack, militarizing is the only fitting response.

The president orders. He doesn’t ask. The quote from Wikipedia is, “Presidential Reserve Call Up.
When the President determines that it is necessary to augment the active forces for any operational mission for any unit or any member for not more than 270 days.”

Congratulation Oregon Dem. Voters, you are dumber than the guy you elected. That is saying a lot.


This thread has a fair number of snarky errors—but you likely win the prize. She wasn’t elected to the governorship—her predecessor resigned. She wasn’t elected as governor (though in fairness, she was elected as Secretary of State).

“Some Governor with a chip on his shoulder. Some day when disaster strikes his territory he will wish he wouldn;t have said this.”

Oregon’s governor is a bixexual female, whatever that is!

“Brown lives in Portland, with her husband Dan Little. She has two stepchildren, Dylan and Jessie. She is bisexual and is the country’s first openly bisexual statewide officeholder and first openly bisexual governor.”

NOW ISN’T THAT SPECIAL!

Someone should show Gov. Katie a little kindness and let her know that Oregon doesn’t have a border with Mexico.

I can understand her confusion though having a border with California. :)

Trump doesn’t need her approval. He’ll assume control over the Oregon Guard, if it’s needed.

The blue states are in open rebellion to President Trump and the rule of law. With their sanctuary cities and states, they're providing a foothold for the invasion and subsequent takeover of the U.S. It's time to round up these traitors and send them to gitmo. Enough is enough.

“I can understand her concern, the Oregon NG is needed to protect them from sexually crazed 200 lb beavers.”

I’ll bet it’s “ a problem” to shave a 200lb. beaver!

The separate National Guard units are part of the DoD. The CinC can nationalize them at his pleasure. If any state officials try to stop this would be guilty of sedition and most likely arrested by the same national guard.

Not a problem. Should President Trump require the organized part of Oregon's State Militia, its National Guard, at the U.S.-Mexican border, he needs just to activate them for federal service. The Governor of Oregon has no say in the matter, unless she wants to commit an act of rebellion and be arrested for treason.

Should Oregon have a State Guard, it cannot be called up for federal service. But its individual members can.

“It” is probably more accurate.
