Portland Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty walks past Commissioners Chloe Eudaly and Amanda Fritz at the Portland City Council meeting
Portland is out of the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force again.
The Portland City Council voted 3-2 Wednesday to withdraw the city’s police officers from the JTTF, a partnership between federal agencies and local law enforcement.
Commissioners Jo Ann Hardesty, Amanda Fritz and Chloe Eudaly supported the change. They worry there is not enough civilian oversight to ensure Portland officers abide by civil rights laws and say there isn’t enough evidence to show the task force has made Portland safer.
“The current president has made clear his animosity toward Muslims, immigrants and people of color,” Fritz said, noting that the FBI has not followed through on promises to provide more, regular information on the group’s work since Portland re-entered the partnership several years ago. “I found it hard to trust the JTTF under President Obama. It’s impossible now.”
Portland’s vibrant left-wing activist community turned out in force at Wednesday’s meeting to show its support for withdrawal. The council chamber was standing-room only with an overflow room filled as well.

Getting very close to a full-blown Civil War now.
They found a charming Somali lad who was planning to explode the Christmas tree lighting at Pioneer Courthouse Square in 2010. That was when they finally saw the light and joined with the FBI like every other major city in the U.S.
Now that the Somali lad is away for 30 years, I guess they figure they are safe again.
The day after that close call, nobody seemed to know anything about it but me, although it was on the TV news. That’s Portland.
On a larger and more serious scale, this is like putting a sign in front of your house saying there are no guns anywhere on the property.
You know, oddly, that’s what the white people in Portland look like: decrepit leftovers from the 70’s.
I can’t say the 60’s because those people usually had SOME character.
Not these freaks!
They’re the Creatures from the Columbia River Lagoon.
Not a happy place. Maybe they should move south for awhile, get some Vitamin D.
Good idea not to get down wind...........
We need to build a wall around these cities and let them fend for themselves. Conduct trade with them, etc, but do something to keep these people where they are.
I think it’d be great if the people of Central and Eastern, Washington & Oregon got together and figured out a way to redraw the border. Have it run, North/South, instead of the way it is now. Give the coast to them and let them fend for themselves. Give the interior to the normal folks and let them live their lives how they want to.
The Left is getting more and more insane by the day. That’s why I’m actually glad that Omar, Tlaib, and AOC, are in Congress now. They’re dumber than dip, but they’re going to drive that party off a cliff.
What kind of evidence would you like? There haven’t been any terrorist attacks there — that’s some evidence.
Imagine Washington is much the same with Seattle.
“Portland Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty walks past Commissioners Chloe Eudaly and Amanda Fritz...”
What happens when we let women govern.
“Actually, Wheeler has been a worse problem on most issues than the black woman.”
Is he a worse problem than all three of those females? Because I was referring to all three shit goblins, not just the black one.
“I’m beginning to think women should not be allowed into politics.....and I say that as a woman.”
Yep. I hate to say it, and no offense intended, but men made a big mistake when they gave women the right to vote.
A couple of videos making this point.

Whoa! Medusa has not aged well.
The fallout from that was shown to be a CIA operation. (see George Webb)
Jo Ann is an American enemy
She is black and against all that is white
Portland couldn’t stop illegals from setting up mj farms inside public forests.
Which Portland? Pet Peeve—unidentified geography.
Considering the FBI’s rank incompetence these leftys may be right for once.
Only one Portland matters, the one on the west coast.
