And they said Trump was the Authoritarian

[Neveragain]

The United States of America is NOT a country where the Federal government sends in its forces to kidnap peaceful protesters by hauling them into unmarked vans without any formal charges.

Have you seen the pictures of the homeland security forces? Poorly trained. Dapped out in maximum armor. It's like a bad counter-strike player, but he's fighting Mario or level 1 Pokemon. Losing like he logged into League for the first time. Basically, you.

Ah ha, so you don't consider property damage to be violent. ~TGO

And neither does the government.

So you're cool with people being kidnapped to proactively stop a crime before one is committed? Because that's exactly what they're doing and they aren't hiding it. It's massive overreach

Not cool with it at all. It's Tyrranical and not a bad argument for a full on armed revolution.

On a more serious note, have you heard any indication of where the abducted folks from Portland are being taken? Have any been released?

How can you be so comfortable with damn near Martial Law?

Doesn't sound the same at all the way I heard it.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, was left coughing and wincing in the middle of his own city Wednesday night after federal officers deployed tear gas into a crowd of protesters that Mr. Wheeler had joined outside the federal courthouse.

Mr. Wheeler, who scrambled to put on goggles while denouncing what he called the “urban warfare” tactic of the federal agents, said he was outraged by the use of tear gas and that it was only making protesters more angry.

“I’m not going to lie — it stings; it’s hard to breathe,” Mr. Wheeler said. “And I can tell you with 100 percent honesty, I saw nothing which provoked this response.”

He called it an “egregious overreaction” on the part of the federal officers, and not a de-escalation strategy.

Thanks again, Fox News!! The article about the "150 round shooting" mentioned has already been under fire (pun intended) for falsely connecting it to the protests, even though the incident occurred on the other side of town (100 blocks east) and wasn't related -- again, that's just one example among many of how this is being misrepresented... but sure, keep buying into the bullshit without question.

Out of coffee.
