Portland Insurrection Roundup: Mayor Ted prohibits Portland police cooperating with feds
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]





Trump says feds are in Portland to help, ‘not hurt’ it as protests continue
[NYPOST] President Trump on Sunday defended the actions of federal agents in Portland, saying they are in the Oregon city to help "not hurt" after protesters broke into a police union building and set it ablaze.

"We are trying to help Portland, not hurt it. Their leadership has, for months, lost control of the anarchists and agitators. They are missing in action. We must protect Federal property, AND OUR PEOPLE," Trump wrote on Twitter. "These were not merely protesters, these are the real deal!"

Weeks of protests in Oregon’s largest city over the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody grew more intense Saturday night as demonstrators lit dumpsters on fire and forced their way into the Portland Police Association building, causing police to respond with tear gas.

Portland police declared a riot and cleared the downtown area, and the fire was eventually doused.

The president has vowed to crack down on protesters targeting federal buildings, and his administration has deployed the U.S. Marshals Special Operations Group and the agents from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection team based on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Lock it off from the highways.

#5 Yes, and we will see the hypocrisy of the antifa / blm / marxist "tear it all down" complex when they stand down on election day to see if they can get the dems over the top. If they really, really wanted the current system toppled, closing down polls would be a prime objective. What they actually want is the current system with their people running it.

#6 My advice: If you are going to the polls in person on election day, wear a flannel shirt, jeans and a red bandanna. And vote Trump.
