    Ummmmmm...........that’s a setting fire in front of the courthouse. NOT setting fire to the courthouse. Fucking Ngo is a lying, agitating piece of shit. But hey, it fits the Trump narrative (And besides, Hardesty says it’s federal plants setting the fires to ramp up the violence). But it is truly sad that everyone outside of Portland is getting such an overblown and distorted view of what’s actually going on. What’s happening in a very small section of downtown would have pretty much been over and done with (except for the usual professional protestors) weeks ago, but Trump couldn’t allow that. Again, that wouldn’t fit his narrative. So he lit a bonfire to deflect from everything else he has fucked up. Those federal agents are the agitators. And like pretty much everything else he has done, it’s blown up in his face. It may play well to the uneducated citizens in other states, but anyone with any kind of common sense can see it for the political theater it really is.......

    I've said before that I haven't paid that much attention to Portland politics, but it sure seems Wheeler has managed to find the sweet spot where everybody hates him right now...then he gets gassed by the feds. That's talent

    I just had a thought: just about everybody has been suckered into believing that trump was elected president. But the reality is he was elected to be the head of Fox programming

    That literally made me spew my tea. How far down the rabbit hole have we fallen where we have a nitwit neofascist President being accused of arson by a nitwit socialist loon City Councilwoman? Does anyone believe a single word either side babbles?

    about Wheeler's Wednesday night:

    * City Council members have accused Wheeler of not reining in local police, who have used tear gas multiple times

    * business leaders have condemned Wheeler for not bringing the situation under control before the agents showed up

    * Wheeler was criticized for not defunding the local police

    * Wheeler was criticized for not having Portland police protect people from federal agents

    * Protesters in the crowd held signs aloft that read “Tear Gas Ted”.....

    .....then they did

    all-in-all, a good night for Ted....if he went there instead of having a simultaneous root canal and prostate exam while having his head shaved with a cheese grater

    I really DO hope you realize I was being facetious with the Hardesty reference.........but unfortunately the Feds have a history of doing just that kind of thing to get the results they want. I just wish she’d keep her mouth shut unless and until she has actual proof to back up her claims.

    Oh, I didn’t think you were saying you believe her ridiculous charges. It’s just gotten so crazy that I have a hard time recognizing this as America anymore.

    Andy Ngo staged that whole "fire" scene in a movie studio in his neighborhood using paid actors from the Proud Boys funded by Trump and Roger Stone! :NOTMARIS:

    You finally have the narrative straight. Takes awhile to get clarity from 900 miles away......

    The people of Albuquerque are mightily confused right now and asking Why Albuquerque?

    * “Recently released crime statistics from APD show a decrease in property crime from 2018 to 2019 and violent crime holding steady. Although homicides spiked in 2019, this year, has had fewer cases. violent crimes are reportedly down.“

    Oops. Pesky facts. Bernalillo County Sheriff Manuel Gonzales says...

    “Today’s announcement from the federal government speaks for itself, and the local FBI also made it clear what Operation Legend special agents will do: combat Albuquerque’s out of control crime crisis and solve homicides.”

    This is a sheriff who is infamous for opposing body cameras for his deputies, btw. New Mexico’s generally un-reactionary, moderate U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich has taken the extraordinary step of asking the sheriff to resign
    ." *

    (it's important to note that the trump white house is using a request from the right wing sheriff of the county Albuquerque is in as predicate for sending the troops in. That sheriff has no jurisdiction in the city, although Albuquerque police do have jurisdiction outside the city limits in unincorporated parts of the city)
    *****************************************************

    anyway....why Albuquerque?
