    Yes. Technical differences. But soulmates just the same!

    Augusto Pinochet was from Chile. Trump does not know Chile is located in South America. He might think it is near China?

    Does he? I'm not defending Trump but I haven't heard him refer to the Secret Service as his SS.

    F the police state.

    Keep up the battle Portland.

    What really sucks is pretty much our only other choice for for president is Joe crime bill Biden the founding father of all this shit.

    Democracy is flawed and its protests that are the best fix we got for that flaw.

    What sucks is there is not going to be much wind for w a wile to blow away that damn gas they use Portland, OR 10-Day Weather Forecast | Weather Underground

    Protesters should know how to protect themselves from tear gas, pepper spray

    See what happens but probably one of those unmarked cops is going to kill a protester soon just being violent cause they can and this will take a different turn.

    Its pretty much inevitable, let those federal psychos run around anonymous with no name badges attacking the public, the odds overwhelmingly predict by the end of the week they kill someone.

    "People are being literally scooped off the street into unmarked vans, rental cars apparently. They’re being denied probable cause and due process. They don’t even know who’s pulling them into the vans," Mayor Wheeler said.

    No, but there are several photos of cops with racist tattoos. The kind that in other countries would disqualify them from the job. Funny they are the cops on the front lines of protest too. Almost as if they have a personal goal.

    If you ask a lot of American cops they will say they want "action" and to "clean up the streets". It's perfect for racists.

    Were you really a libertarian you would support the people. You are a by the book nationalist Republican

    Which is it. Are all laws meaningless or is big goverment good and at it's best when it's large enough to do whatever it wants at the expense of personal freedoms.

    Your posts hint at the latter.

    Unidentified, camouflage‐wearing federal agents carrying military‐style equipment have been caught on video abducting people in Portland, Oregon. They do not bother to make formal arrests, read the captured their rights, or even announce the reason for detainment. Portland and the Paramilitarization of the Border Patrol

    You really need to read a law textbook if you have to ask this question.

    Imagine it another way around. Is it OK if Obama had a private police force and they went into rural areas and arrested people for being gun owners or for voting Republican? It's not that hard to find out who does because Republicans make no secret of who they are.

    I think you would say it's not so ask why it's OK to do to Democrats,

    I dont think Trump wants a second term.

    Think he just wants to have his fun for the rest of his first then move on to something else.

    Meanwhile in Europe....


    Belarus election: Snatched from the streets in Europe's 'last dictatorship'
    Activists and journalists are being rounded up and jailed in Belarus ahead of next month’s elections.

    People say it’s the most brutal crackdown the country has ever known.

    President Alexander Lukashenko has been in power for more than a quarter of a century, but opposition to the authoritarian leader is growing.

    Our Europe correspondent Jean Mackenzie has been given rare access to the country often described as Europe’s "last dictatorship".

    That's not a violation, though. First off, the feds are wearing identifying patches so that nullifies "they don't know who's pulling them into vans." Second, no where does the constitution states WHEN police must identify themselves. They could've identify themselves once inside the van or during questioning.

    Again, they have identifying patches.

    No, but not for the reason you're thinking. It's wrong because they're arresting people participating in legal and constitutionally protected activities. These guys are arresting prime suspects of riots and federal property damage.

    Maybe they weren't trained for that. They were only trained to beat on defenseless clothed people.
