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.

RATs are alway “deeply troubled!”

“Ah, the governor is a woman, not a man.”

I think that’s debatable!

IF you remember the 1890’s, you are very old. By the 1990’s it was effectively blue. Vic Atiyeh began his second term as governor in 1983. Since that time, 49 other states have elected Republican governors. The state did have two pub Senators, but they were incumbents who had been around since the 60’s. Gord Smith was a last gasp after Hatfield retired, but he was worthless. The last Republican to gain its electoral votes was Reagan.

Due to the concentration of blue votes in Portland, the Pubs did have some success in the legislature during the 90’s, but to call the state red at this time is too much.

Long live the memory of Wayne Morse.

Most Oregon State students who weigh that much can shave themselves, thank you very much.

Here’s the law: http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2007/01/12/governors-lose-in-power-struggle-over-national-guard/

Just google “President’s power over national guard”

If the Governor is a member of the Oregon Natinal Guard, which I would guess as its commander she is, the President could probably call HER into Federal service as well!

I live in OR too. Calling Kate Brown a stupid bitch is a horrendous insult to stupid bitches all over the world.

A slimy piece of pervert puke pinko is more accurate.

The National Guard is funded totally be federal funds unless activated for state missions such as fire, flood, tornado, riot control.

President Trump is the Commander of those forces.

He can also wreak havoc in Oregon's military funding should he choose.

Stupid bitch. Trump can sign an order to federalize the guard units and send them to the border.

When guard units deploy to the ME it is under federal orders, not the stinking governor of the state.

It is the governor’s prerogative to refuse to deploy their guard.

It is the President’s prerogative to federalize their guard, at which point the governor is not longer in the chain of command.

Posted my #69 comment before reading the thread.

“It” may have been in the male mode when writing that nonsense. The Gov. apparently checks off the L and B in LGBT.

They’re here pumping out their own ‘americanos’. What a country, eh?
