    I think if you were to dig deeper, that is exactly why The Dipshit in Chief is sending the army in. The "Portland is burning" is just cover for the MAGAts who don't make an effort to stay informed and educated.......which, come to think of it, is ALL of them.....

    Well I guess they will have fun picking up trash (what little there is) and painting over some graffiti.

    Trump has never been to Portland in his life. It’s just a great talking point for him cause no one likes him here.

    Preparation for troops on the street next election. Not in DC or Portland or LA. In swing states. Phoenix, Atlanta, Durham. Just enough people need to be scared away from voting in person while Trump tries to ban absentee voting.

    Why is Trump sending troops to a ‘war ravaged’ Portland that local officials say doesn’t exist?: 5 takeaways

    President Donald Trump announced he was authorizing the deployment of federal troops to Portland, sparking immediate condemnation from state and local officials who said the move was unwarranted. These are the 5 takeaways from the original reporting by The Oregonian/OregonLive.

    1. Trump authorized troops for Portland via a surprise social media post

    Trump announced on Truth Social that he was directing federal troops to what he called a “War ravaged Portland” to protect ICE facilities from “domestic terrorists.” The declaration was made without any prior communication to local or state officials, who learned of the plan from social media.

    2. Oregon leaders strongly and immediately rejected the need for federal troops

    Gov. Tina Kotek and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson responded within hours, stating that Portland is “safe and calm” and that the number of necessary troops is “zero.” Kotek said she spoke directly with Trump to oppose the deployment and confirmed the state would consider legal options to challenge it.

    3. Significant confusion surrounds the details of the potential deployment

    It remains unclear what legal authority Trump would use for the deployment, when troops might arrive, or which branch of the military would be involved. The announcement reportedly caught many at the Pentagon by surprise, and the White House did not immediately provide clarifying details.

    4. Oregon’s Democratic delegation framed the move as a political provocation

    Congressional Democrats from Oregon accused Trump of launching an “authoritarian takeover” in an attempt to incite conflict in a peaceful city for political gain. Multiple officials, including Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, urged residents to remain calm and “not take the bait.”

    5. Trump’s justification for the deployment contrasts with on-the-ground reports

    While Trump cited ongoing sieges by “antifa,” the article clarifies that recent protests outside the South Portland ICE facility have involved no more than several dozen people. A top Portland police official has previously stated in court that federal officers were “instigating and causing some of the ruckus” during demonstrations.

    Shutting down the government and creating martial law in order to protect serial pedophile fascists in power. It’s just so unbelievable but also believable. Guess it’ll teach the world to never trust our government institution. If we ever get rid of this coup we should probably hand over all of our military assets to the United Nations and be a low level member for eternity.
