Next up in the anything-but-Epstein distraction plan: Send troops into Portland.
"President Donald Trump said Saturday that he will send troops to Portland, Oregon, and to immigration detention facilities around the country, authorizing “Full Force, if necessary” and escalating a campaign to use the U.S. military against Americans that has little modern precedent."
Trump said in a social media post that he was directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide troops to what he dubbed “War ravaged Portland.”
"Portland has been a target of right-wing politicians for the way it has handled racial-justice protests as well as its homeless population, tolerating encampments in the central part of the city. But Trump will again encounter the dynamic he did when he deployed the National Guard in Los Angeles — a military deployment in a state run by a Democratic governor who objects to the decision and will have grounds to fight it in court."

I'm old enough to remember that most of this #WarRavaged #Portland schtick dates back to #JoeyGibson and his #PatriotPrayer #AltRight kiddies, based out of #VancouverWA
Caused a lot of trouble up at #EvergreenStateCollege in #WashingtonState too before they sort of faded away
