Trump should move all Federal buildings and employees out of Portland to a new location. He should protect Federal property until it can be sold.

To be sure, ...there are some who have done things that are inappropriate and unlawful

Some people did some things.

A riot, but it’s very nature, it lack of control.

Democrats are such idiots.

The riot needs to be moved to Rep. Earl Blumenauer's (D-Ore), house.

It's so easy for this narcissist to pontificate when others are suffering the consequences.

- “Portland, Oregon, is not out of control,” -

In other words, everything is fine as long as his house isn't vandalized.

The videos show otherwise.

From the great Ann Coulter:

When reporting on the “protests,” MSNBC and CNN invariably feature some area of Portland far from the carnage, showing people strolling, the sun shining, and not a single building on fire!

You’ll never see the part of the city—a little area called “downtown Portland”—where thousands of black-clad antifa have been laying waste to everything in sight.

You won’t see the miles of charming graffiti spray-painted on every vertical surface: “F—k Cops,” “F—k ICE,” “Abolish America,” “No Good Cops,” “Kill Cops,” “Cops = Bastards,” “Pigs!,” “Yes All Cops,” “Oink, Oink,” “F—ck Trump,” “Kill the Police,” “Dead Cops,” “Pigs,” “Slaughterhouse Die Piggie Die,” “Burn Pigs,” and of course, the antifa slogan, “ACAB,” or “All Cops Are Bastards.”

Trump should say nothing about Portland except: “Look at the videos.” I recommend you start with journalist Andy Ngo’s Twitter feed: @MrAndyNgo.

LeVoy Finicum had permission to go talk to people in another town, too. Oregon’s Wyden and Kate Brown had other ideas.

My Socialist sister who lives in a Portland suburb agrees. ‘They are PEACEFUL protestors and the Feds should stay out of Oregon’s business’! (You’re right. We don’t get along at all)

Yo, Earl... Please enumerate the criteria by which you would declare the protest riots out of control. Be specific, dunderhead!

My Socialist sister is quite adamant about the FACT that graffiti is PEACEFUL PROTESTING.

Not kidding.

The definition of a riot is out of control chaos.

What they want is peaceful rioting.

I know lots of people in the lumber business that live in the greater Portland area. None of these people are liberals or radicals. So, there has to be some sane people who are pissed at their local politicians for letting this continue for over a month.

They finally cleaned out the rest of the occupy wackos in NYC down by city hall a couple days ago. These cities have to be losing millions/billions of dollars of revenue in tourist business and the sales tax/rooms and meals tax that comes with it.

Sooner or later the adults in the room cry uncle. The business leaders go to the Alderman, city council, mayor and tell them to clean this crap up OR I will support some other Politian in the next election instead of YOU.

Just turn on Fox News/Fox Business and observe the car traffic on 6th Avenue in NYC. It is a ghost town. Nobody is there on a Wednesday in mid town Manhattan. No one is planning on visiting any time soon. Nobody is going to Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden or the Statue of Liberty. There are hardly any cabs on the streets.

Yikes.
I put graffiti people in the same class as rioters and looters.

Ditto. She was pretty angry when our conversation finished a week ago. Of course to her, it was FOXNEWS promoting fake news. Portland is PEACEFUL.

“Portland, Oregon, is not out of control,” Blumenauer said Tuesday in a floor speech.

Another Democrat using artful and misleading language like Bill Clinton's 'Is' response. Portland, as the entire city is not out of control so long as it stays firmly Democrat and LEFTist! Rep. Blumenauer has 'represented' the Oregon 3rd Congressional District (CD) for 23+ years and wants to keep the streak going.

This 3rd CD covers the north and western parts of Portland and extends out to the east. Heavily Democrat in registration, 684k population 80% white, median income $64k. In short, this is a rich, white supremest district!

“To be sure, there are some people who have strong feelings and there are some who have done things that are inappropriate and unlawful.”


The same could be said about the Chicago funeral home shooting...
