You never question the government. You support federal troops invading a city against the wishes of local elected officials. That’s fascism, own it.
Oh I have. Federal troops suggest military. They aren't. You would squeal with delight if the true fascists, Antifa, burned down Federal buildings.

All they are are Border Guards that have been reassigned for awhile. Get over it. While they are being used in Portland I'm sure the drug smugglers are having a hay day.

HEYDAY goes back to an Anglo-Saxon use of 'hey' as an expression of great enthusiasm and happiness.

Armed men operating under dubious federal authority to occupy a city against the will of local elected officials. Who cares about your semantic argument? They invaded a state and created chaos to help your favorite authoritarian scare his base of rubes into believing there’s a massive socialist army ready to destroy the nation. You believe it because it gives you great pleasure to believe the majority of the country that wants to change police use of force policy is trying to destroy the country. It’s sad that you refuse to ask why the feds would do this and just believe their brazen lies.

You're batting a solid thousand for using incorrect words.

Dubious? How so? The city wasn't occupied. That's ridiculous. Federal buildings are being guarded and people attempting to harm them are being arrested. In what world is that fascist? And in case you didn't notice thousands in Seattle are lobbying their city council to not reduce funding to the police. So to say most want what you advocate isn't accurate. I don't believe for a second that there's a massive socialist army in this country. I do believe it's unlawful to destroy public and private property, hurting others doing so. That's not some hillbilly white militia doing that, it's you libs and your attack dogs. You don't believe in the rule of law and if people get killed oh well. How did you sink to this level?

Myth vs. Fact: 50+ Nights of Violence, Chaos, and Anarchy in Portland, Oregon

“Enforcing federal law is not by invitation. The FBI, DEA, ATF, and other federal law enforcement agencies do not require local requests from communities to enforce federal law.”

“Local and state leaders have prohibited the Portland police from enforcing laws that could bring this violence to an end.”

“Federal law, in particular 40 U.S.C. § 1315, clearly states that the Secretary of Homeland Security “shall protect the buildings, grounds, and property that are owned, occupied, or secured by the Federal Government.”

“Federal officers have been protecting the courthouse in downtown Portland since it was built 1997.”

Propaganda from the State to justify their behavior. Dubious reasoning at best.
