Trump suggests he'll send federal agents to other major US cities following a 'fantastic job' in Portland
Task and Purpose ^ | 21 July 2020 | JOHN HALTIWANGER, BUSINESS INSIDER

Posted on 07/21/2020 2:39:55 PM PDT by BeauBo

President Donald Trump on Monday said he's considering sending federal law enforcement to other major cities to counter unrest after controversially deploying federal agents to respond to demonstrations against racism and police brutality in Portland, Oregon.

"In Portland they've done a fantastic job," Trump said of the federal agents sent to the Oregon city.

Trump described the protesters as anarchists who "hate" the U.S. and signaling he might send federal troops to cities like Chicago, New York, Detroit, Baltimore, and Oakland...

The federal officers sent to Portland are with the U.S. Marshals Service and an elite U.S. Customs and Border Protection unit, and they've been deployed as part of Trump's defense of monuments and broader pushback on protesters.

Notice the sign they wear on their chests and backs, which says "Police" - not really "Unmarked" or "Unidentified".

All uniformed, with identifying patches (notice how the downtown has been trashed by graffiti, while the local Democrats let kids run wild):

“...respond to demonstrations against racism and police brutality in Portland...”

Look at what the author calls rioting and wanton destruction. Nope, no spin there! /s

First thing I noticed was their badges. They probably surveil, and then arrest the leaders one by one for specific crimes. The Federal Govt is charged with protecting the assets of the people used by the federal govt.

Dems can scream all they want, ignore them and fix the problem. The people will get it.

Good. Don’t back-off when the predictable caterwauling starts.

Not sure if they’re doing fantastic or not...last night an antifa fought off a DHS guy and got away and now antifa is celebrating and telling everyone to do the same.

But...I don’t think they’ve been able to get into the courthouse despite really trying. If they do get in they’ll burn it.

Portland politicians are claiming it’s gotten worse after DHS arrived and blame POTUS of course...they are saying it was starting to die down. I don’t know how you measure that...it’s more like they were hoping it was dying down and now are washing their hands of blame.

Just look at the buildings...

The Democrats want destruction, despair, chaos and dependency everywhere.

They want you to be dependent on them so they can control your life.

How does one "controversially" deploy federal agents?

Long drive from Portland. Maybe just take them out “fishing”, or for a drive in the countryside.

“after controversially deploying federal agents”

Controversial to who? These Rat mayors do NOTHING while the citizens and police are being terrorized by these domestic enemies. Just last week a woman tried to murder two police in New York city by bashing their heads in with a bat and she was RELEASED the next day! What the hell is that?

Destroy all sources of food shipping. Roads, rails, ports.

Why haven’t businesses moved out?

Pull all the Federal Government Buildings and jobs out of these areas. Protect the Federal properties there until they can be moved.

Accessory after the fact?

Yeah. Given his track record, I’m not worried about his take.

Since Nappy is always wrong I can feel confident President Trump did the right thing.
