I read things. Pony things. Sometimes. I also have the literary ability of a drunken emu.

So, I looks like we might be getting somewhere with the removal of federal troops from Portland. I'm not happy with the open ended nature of the condition, but it's a start in the right direction.

I expect continued escalation elsewhere, just as Portland was an escalation of what they did in DC.
Trump claims to have saved Portland. Not betting on who or what he ”saves” next.

That was fast. The secret police escalated the conflict last night. I wonder if the Portland police will fail to protect the courthouse as promised, providing pretext for these thugs to return to Portland in even more force in coming days or weeks.

Honestly, I think that no matter what happens, the feds will claim it's not being protected...
I also think they wont leave because that would 'show weakness' as well as deescalate the situation. Both of which the Trump administration does NOT want just months before the election.

There were a lot of conflicting public comments on n the topic, so I wasn't sure what would happen. Really appreciate the efforts of protesters who encouraged others to be peaceful.
