Whataboutism. What about Obama? What about Hilary's emails? Sure, I killed that guy, but what about Dahmer? He killed people too!

Despite you simpletons not getting it, the situation is pretty simple. The Fed has overstepped its bounds -- something republicans used to care about.

Governor Brown is not up for reelection, but you would think she is by the way she's trying to walk the political tightrope on this issue as opposed to doing her job and protecting her state's sovereignty. She needs to mobilize state police and/or deploy the guard and arrest these clowns if they attempt to illegally detain a citizen.

The fact that people are more concerned about vandalism than they are about authoritarian use of power by the Fed is gobsmacking to me. I guess federal overreach is only a problem when it's being done by the people on the other side of the political fence?

The Feds involvement in Portland is not the same as what has happened in the past IE Waco. The biggest difference I can see is simply geographical in nature. In Waco, it was the feds that raided private property (which ownership is protected by the 5th amendment)

Conversely, in the situation with Portland, it is the Feds that are protecting private property, federal property and the right for all to access public property.

How you are able to conflate the two only shows that you are willfully ignorant.
