Except the Secret Service would have to clear all the protestors out of the area first. Are you trying to get the president attacked?Maybe he should visit and see what is really going on.

Yes they are. They've asked for police assistance and the police have done nothing to help. I watched a journalist get attacked and she contacted the police who did not help her. In fact one officer contacted the suspect in tye case told her she was detained and then when the person and her friend demanded to not be touched the officer just let her walk away. The peraon was not arrested. Then later the journalist found her again and called the police and they told her they weren't coming and that she had to go to them.Are the people of Portland asking for Federal law enforcement assistance?
Yes.I was actually just in Quebec 2 days ago (thus the reason why I haven't been as active on here... I was in Northern Vermont because the GF wanted to do some "leaf peeping", and we made trip north of the border at the Derby Line/Stanstead crossing... which is a cool unique arrangement, I encourage people to look it up)
I'm guessing this guy is using paid actors or selective editing.
The French-Canadian customs officer was incredibly rude (even more so than the French Canadians normally are), as were the people I passed on the street and tried to be friendly with.
Her questions at the customs checkpoint were
"So you're coming here to take some pictures and get lunch, and why can't you do that in Vermont?"
"Who did you vote for?" (to which she didn't seem to believe my answer that I didn't vote in last election)
"Do you own or have any guns?" (loaded question)
She then asked the GF (who's Indian) "Has he ever threatened you?"
Being that I own some property in Ontario that I inherited (since my Grandpa was from there -- which she certainly had access to that info when she scanned my passport) and I've gone to Canada no fewer than 25 times in the last 30 years and never caused any problems up there, the 15 minutes worth of grilling was tad excessive lol
And while the family friends who look after the cabin for me assured me "that's just how French Canadians are, they're rude to us English speaking Canadians as well", there were some people on the streets I passed who were initially smiling & friendly, as soon as I said I'm from Ohio, their demeanor changed lol. Despite me wanting nothing more than to take some pretty pictures and spend some money in their town lol.
Really? You can't believe it. You can't believe "such a falsehood" is allowed to get posted.Thats is patently a lie from someone. Its not single digit people. I cant believe prople are allowed to post such falsehoods.
No, get him some truth of the matter. There is only about 20 protesters there in front of the ICE building. I think the Secret Service could handle that.Except the Secret Service would have to clear all the protestors out of the area first. Are you trying to get the president attacked?
I mean on this forum. On X pretty much anything goes. I expect that there.Really? You can't believe it. You can't believe "such a falsehood" is allowed to get posted.
Have you ever seen Trump's account?
More lies. If the police would do their jobs there wouldnt need to be any NG troops. The fact is the police are not doing their job so someone else has to in order to protect the building and the people.No, get him some truth of the matter.

It was very peaceful in Portland. The increased ICE activity is trying to change that. And the National Guard is not even there yet.
But I think that is the point, they want their to be violence to justify the use of force.
So at least you agree that the protestors are violent and will get more violent if we try to protect people. Nice.But I think that is the point, they want their to be violence to justify the use of force.
ANTIFA has been designated as a domestic terrorist group. Whether anyone agrees with the EO or not, ANTIFA has been damaging federal property and attacking federal agents. All Trump needs to do is put national guard in front of federal buildings to protect them and the terrorist organization, that liberals claim not to exist, will miraculously organize and assemble from all across the country to protest. Eventually, because ANTIFA is incapable of self-restraint, will resort to violence and find themselves arrested. Sounds like a win win.Portland being a mess is why troops need to be sent in to protect ICE.
No, that is not what I said.So at least you agree that the protestors are violent and will get more violent if we try to protect people. Nice.
Yeah, what great people there are down there.
The Portland Police Chief even stated what is shown on the national level is not what is going on there.More lies. If the police would do their jobs there wouldnt need to be any NG troops. The fact is the police are not doing their job so someone else has to in order to protect the building and the people.
The good news for you is that, despite what the Right tells us, ANTIFA is an ad-hoc enterprise, with no membership rolls, no ID cards, no special tattoos, and that means your fearless leader can arrest anybody he likes for it--anybody who disagrees with him, is the wrong color or the wrong religion, supports causes he doesn't like, etc. MAGA!ANTIFA has been designated as a domestic terrorist group.

They are as organized as gangs like the Bloods and the Crips. Some with registered members and local chapters who raise money solely for the purpose of perpetuating political violence.The good news for you is that, despite what the Right tells us, ANTIFA is an ad-hoc enterprise, with no membership rolls, no ID cards, no special tattoos, and that means your fearless leader can arrest anybody he likes for it--anybody who disagrees with him, is the wrong color or the wrong religion, supports causes he doesn't like, etc. MAGA!
What you have to do now is prove that they're all secret Muslims...They are as organized as gangs like the Bloods and the Crips. Some with registered members and local chapters who raise money solely for the purpose of perpetuating political violence.

Very similar to the false narrative they tried to paint about the LAThe Portland Police Chief even stated what is shown on the national level is not what is going on there.
Hopefully, they will banish ANTIFA too Siberiahttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/us/politics/trump-portland-troops.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

Donald Trump says he is deploying troops to Portland, Oregon
Apparently misled by hyperbolic reporting from conservative outlets on a single small protest, president described peaceful city as ‘war ravaged’www.theguardian.com
With protesters in the single digits, Trump has ordered the military to use full force to eliminate them.
If I call the fire department and they send out a tanker-plane to douse my home with 5000 gallons of water, how is that “better”?Yes they are. They've asked for police assistance and the police have done nothing to help. I watched a journalist get attacked and she contacted the police who did not help her. In fact one officer contacted the suspect in tye case told her she was detained and then when the person and her friend demanded to not be touched the officer just let her walk away.

A feckless, cowardly, useless piece of garbage organization.
