I hope the Governor is correct. 🤞🏼

I just hope the governor and other officials are ready to deal with the right-wing hoodlums who have been causing a lot of the violence. They are likely to stay behind and keep causing trouble because making the BLM protests look violent has been their goal all along.

So Trump can say I told you so.

"What's going on? This stuff worked SO WELL for Nixon and his poll numbers! What's wrong with these people, they should be happy to see all these (expletive deleted) and (expletive deleted) getting their heads bashed in with clubs and rubber bullets!"

One thing you can say about the current party, they've been consistently tone deaf about everything.

the Gestapo will depart, and Trump will have his little poop-flinging press party where he crows about how successful he is and how his methods are the most effective anyone has ever seen

now like a buncha cowardly hyenas they're retreating with their tails between their legs.

To ALL the protesters in Portland - young people, moms, dads, vets and seniors - YOU ARE ALL PATRIOTS!!!
Thank you for stepping up to physically confront this threat of fascism this horrendous administration has inflicted upon your city. We are all grateful for your sacrifices and you have inspired us!

And other federal buildings starting Thursday. Will be interesting to see how they respond to any vandalism or violence.

there is no reason to think there will be violence. For the most part protest have been peaceful.

Their gonna try to get to that courthouse once the feds leave, it’s a symbol of victory to them. Gotta remember, they were damaging property and fighting the police in Portland regularly the last few years, this isn’t a new thing in the last two weeks that is going to disappear.

With the feds gone they’ll just pick a new focal point or enemy, like maybe the state police guarding the federal courthouse.

The mayor of Portland said as much.

The Feds stirred 'em back up, so no I think they will channel their energy back to Police Brutality again. Trump created a distraction.

You can't believe anything this administration says:

“As I told the Governor yesterday, federal law enforcement will remain in Portland until the violent activity toward our federal facilities ends,” said Wolf, contradicting the freshly made announcement from Brown.

Mission Accomplished!

Trump "activated" AG Barr and got what he wanted. Looking tough on crime.

Expect to see that footage run ad nauseam now till November.

Those unmarked vans are going to be either tipped over or have their tires slashed. Those generic pigs better watch themselves as well.

KY...........

DHS has said they're not going anywhere in the short term. My impression was that Trump thought the riots were playing well for him, and I can't see why he'd just up and surrender something right when it starts getting good for him.
