A Way to Take Back Portland

The Wall Street Journal ^ | July 22, 2020 | Ted Cruz

[JeepersFreepers]

A lot of Freepers are down on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), but he is one of the few Republican senators speaking out and taking some action to address the current riotous insurrection. Although needed, his bill has no chance of getting through the Democrat House. But it has value in creating awareness and focusing on the problem.

I like Ted Cruz. He’s a feisty one and frankly we NEED feisty people in our camp. Not perfect?? Well he’s good enough and then some. I like this bill too.

[SteelPSUGOP]

You don’t need new laws. Get them with RICO. They are facilitating a criminal enterprise.....just like the mob.

[SuperLuminal]

What a moron!
"We", the Americans, haven't had Portland since WWII...
Portland was an easy target for the communists who moved there throughout the last 70-years and took control...

Use snipers to take out the most violent ones. It will end quickly.

And how are you going to get POLITICIANS to vote for a bill that would hold POLITICIANS accountable?

[econjack]

BLM does all this because of their hero, George Floyd. Really? How many have already died because of BLM and their hero:

“What a moron!”

Name calling don’t cut it friend.

[Secret Agent Man]

you propose the bill in “shouldland”

[Robert DeLong]

How would it even be enforced?

[Pining_4_TX]

I agree. They are violent rioters attempting to kill police. It’s time for the cops to shoot back.

[ByteMercenary]

I agree - throw a brick and a 5.56 round immediately makes another hole in you.

[Lockbox]

RICO, YES! Ted’s plan means the law abiding tax payers foot the bill. How does that punish those lawless leaders.

[Alberta's Child]

Nice political gesture but it ain’t going anywhere. Except in rare cases involving foreign interests, tort law is covered under state statutes.

[CatOwner]

Use snipers to take out the most violent ones. It will end quickly.

Can't imagine Trump authorizing it. Maybe we need to get some enterprising Korean-Americans from the Los Angeles area to do the dirty work our government won't or can't.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Ted Cruise is one of the few GOOD GUYS in Congress. The bill is great, but the treacherous 5th Column Democrats will vote it down. Trump needs to make more executive orders holding them accountable to assure compliance

[Jan_Sobieski]

The ROKs in Vietnam did our dirty work. They are excellent fighters

[Obadiah]

Wait. Who said we want it back?

It would solve the problem for a day or two but long term would turn the general population further against the police. If you’re too young to remember Kent State google it and see what I mean.

WERE, not now.
