They’re not just allowing it, they are part of it.

If it doesn’t involve A-10 Warthogs, it’s not gonna work.

My bill would hold officials accountable for failing to protect their constituents.

Sorry; but it is unneeded.

There are such things called ELECTIONS, and if the citizens of a certain area wants to change the status quo; they can do it.

Leave the Portlanders ALONE!

They should aim slighly higher reduce the likelihood of breeding.

You got that right. I don't see how they are going to find enough Portland area residents to even indict a domestic terrorist. Same reason there is no justice for either the evil or the innocent in the DC area.

I don’t know why people are anti-Cruz. He’s not a RINO at all. It seems they think he wasn’t nice enough to Trump in 2016.

Portland doesn’t need to be taken back. It, along with all the other West Coast Dem Run Sh*tholes, need to be encouraged to form their own country and secede from the US. They’re all so smart and perfect, let them prove it to the world. Pull every cop out of all of them and let them eat each other.

But doesn’t anyone find it interesting where all the chaos and violence takes place? It never seems to creep into the White, Rich, Hipster, Liberal neighborhoods that dot every city in the USA. Interesting to me.

Of course, there was a hint of that in Seattle, where the Mayor lives and she quickly had the cops come in and get rid of everyone. Imagine that.

I agree with SteelPSUGOP - we already have the laws that allow us to crush the anarchists - new blah-blah-blah laws are useless if you don’t have the stones to enforce the current ones - reminds me of our “reps” wanting to pass a Bill saying they would enforce the laws...pure insanity to take that approach.
I’ve about forgiven Cruz for his anti-Trumperism during the campaign season back then but this is just more posturing.

More laws? No thanks Ted. Use the million or so that already exist.

No, the leaders are responsible for not enforcing the laws by placating to the BLM and Antifa rioters. Elections have consequences.

The people RESPONSIBLE are the rioters and nefarious people that fund them, Partner.

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

Hmmm. That’s a very good question.

Nation building hasn't worked in the Mideast; why would getting rid of this layer of scoundrels in Portland be any different?

Who’s talking about nation building? Give them what they want. Their Utopian, Socialist paradise. Let them fend for themselves when they have nothing. No food, water, fuel, cops, nothing. Let them form a government and negotiate deals with whoever will help them.

Lots of folks say the Chinese would swoop in and get a foothold in the US. They already have one. They’ve been stealing our research and tech for decades. They’re buying up farmland all over the west and midwest. They’ve been and continue to buy up American businesses. Only person saying anything is the President. And look what they’ve been doing to him since Day 1.

While CHAZ/CHOP should have been squashed in the first 10 minutes, they could have ended it in a day, at the most. The moment they declared it a free and independent state, cut everything off. Hell, if they had shut down cell service to the area, it would have been over without doing anything but that. Let them negotiate a trade deal with the US government for any services. Set up a legitimate border checkpoint and declare anyone living there foreign nationals. Those college kids would have been gone in no time.

Partner, we already know that BLM and Antifa are a bunch of Communists and Anarchists. We have a bunch of DemonRat Mayors who care less about these folks.

“Although Cruz does seem to exist in some sort of sleep state that is often displayed by the symptom best described as “clueless”...”

Check out his biography and if that is clueless, I don’t know what your own state of mind is.
