The people the feds picked up in Portland are still unaccounted for. What happened to due process? You Trump fanboys good with this?

Trump is getting his storm troopers ready in case he loses the election so he can become fuhrer.

Frakk 'em, get em a coupon or something.
Accounting is a crutch, wrong place, wrong time, wrong frakking ciminals.

Most of them were booked and released, curious where you’re getting this “haven’t been heard from” stuff.....

All I can find is the booking and release of 1 person. The official release says the feds identified themselves and were identifiable, nothing is mentioned of unmarked vans, so I am looking for any information about the others, such as the guy in the video.

Do you have a list of their names?

Ok boyzzzzzz....

What we have here in Portland are FRIGGIN P.A.I.D. IN CASH
BY SOROS A B.L.M. TERRORISTS OPERATING ON U.S. SOIL...
THESE ARE ALL BIG BOYS playing a very dangerous game...
They knew the consequences...
Terrorist s have no rights, especially in the US homeland.

I hope homeland security beat the crap out of them and got answers...then shipped them to level 3?or 4? In DULCE NEW MEXICO FOR FURTHER INTERROGATION BY MIND READING
ALIENS AND THE MEN IN BLacK 7 FOOT 6 INCH BALD QBALL PRICKS (THE SAME F**KS WHO WEre ON THE Waiting room perimeter at HERshey Medical ceNter when I was waiting for info on my ex-wife s breast cancer surgery...
In jULy 2013)

Wonder what the Navy guy was "booked" for? Resisting a baton attack with broken bones? When Trump talks about fascist thugs he’s looking in the mirror.

What about the naked woman that confronted the Feds ? Drafter hasn't mentioned it was going to make the TV news.

Don't we have unmarked cop cars patrolling nearly every city of any significant size and highways all the time. Don't they pull people over for various infractions on a daily basis?

If you are breaking the law, is it unheard of to be apprehend by unmarked cop cars or cops patrolling in plain clothing?

I'll have to tweak my theory...j/k.

Some specifics aside, aren't any Trump supporters concerned about a Federal government where armed men in unmarked vehicles wearing unmarked clothing and no identification can kidnap citizens who may or may not even be suspected of any criminal activity much beyond being in proximity?

Or even IF they are considered criminals? Let's face it, the POTUS has alleged all kinds of groups as consisting of unlawful bad hombres even before being elected...is that all we need to do this?

Verified (I am taking that to mean convicted) arsonists can be dealt with by State, County, City, or District Police Forces.

Happy now maybe, but boy will that change with a different ruling class in power.

Robert, can you shed some light on something for me?

Does the Constitution provide the President an avenue to deploy Federal troops during unrest? I’m not looking to debate appropriateness, just whether the Constitution allows such.

What does case law say?

Frank.

#21 good grief.....yeah I’ve never posted any concerns about federal power here.....at least the commie was arrested and not set up and murdered. We’ve SEEN it here in Oregon.

Again, the irony of the Johnny come lately’s pretending Trump is isolated is seriously making me lose respect for humanities brains. One doesn’t have to “support” Cheeto to appreciate the scaled down pointing out he’s done to those who see it.

Unreal.

Trump isn't isolated.
But we can only try to stop chit in the present, those of us who know history.
And you do.

Not necessary. You’ve confirmed what I suspected. Trump uses powers vested to his office, people get butthurt and accuse him of being 1000 kinds of evil because they disagree with a lawful directive.

Trump's deployment of federal troops to "hotspots" in Dem cities is nothing more than election/campaign theater in the vein of "wag the dog"...to distract from the daily bad news of the pandemic that have sunk his chances in November...

the problem is that this has not resulted in a restoration of the peace...instead, he has increased confrontations and potential for violence as more protesters have reacted to federal troops in their hometowns and have taken to the streets to protest their unwanted, unrequested and unneeded presence...

defenders of this decision would be singing a different tune if a Dem POTUS made the same "lawful directive" to "restore law and order" in a red state...state's rights, abuse of power, taking away citizen's Constitutional rights by force...

this is a cynical use of executive authority to affect an election in a self-dealing manner, irregardless of potential deadly consequences

Would it be fair to say that if local authorities had fulfilled the duties of their offices there would not have been a perceived need for federal assistance?

Btw, can you point out any fascism with federal troops being deployed?

here's a definition of "fascism": knock yourself out...

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe

I heard George Bush hated black peoples...

It seems the official liberal line is to pull the Federal law enforcement out (because Trump).

OK, pull them out and evacuate the Federal buildings. Portland PD and Portland FD will watch the buildings burn.

Option 1: is this now an insurrection?

Option 2: don’t rebuild. Transfer the court and all Federal services out of Portland. Now when people need federal services like Social Security they will need to drive a bit.

Bucky, what do you think we should be doing as a nation to slow/stop the threat of the virus?

this is smart... you and Anthony should have a smart-off...

FYI, word has it water was a favorite beverage of the nazis... I'm sure you can weaponize that against Trump in your upcoming genius battle...

Why thank you. Let’s see.

1) Define far right? What threshold separates far right from right. Or is anything right of center car right?
2) Define ultranationalism. What separates ultra from plain? See above.
3) What examples can you highlight that shows suppression of opposition? Slippery slow if anything?
4) Ditto for strong regimentation of society.

Please be specific. Otherwise, it an opinion consistent with political talking points.

He could also use Ross Perot's campaign song.

1) It’s a localized specialty.

2) Don’t doubt it. Just asking you to give examples.
