I say everyone of these protestors need to get armed and open carry.
why?
it solves 2 problems.
A. IT becomes ALL risk for gestapo tactics, theres no reward.
B. it'll force the racists that have been preventing gun control to enact gun control measures.
C. sub problem, solved. Open carry would no doubt be outlawed.
remember BLM, and BUNDY.
when BUNDY AND white militia were in an armed stand off with federal agencies.
I rememebr
The contrast is stark.
Jade Helm wasn't even real and they lost their fucking minds.
We had 8 years with him and none of this happened. They really have nothing.
Good luck with that.

Not a lot of info coming out. From this story:
Federal Law Enforcement Use Unmarked Vehicles To Grab Protesters Off Portland Streets
Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14.

( could be a garmin watch with gps).
when they approach you turn on the GPS feature like your doing a run.
anyone that is friends with you on the app can see exactly where you are on the map. and it saves your route
It is very clear what trump wants to see happen. He want this situation to escalate to the point where protesters are openly shooting at law enforcement so that he can go around and say 'see there is your chaos and Biden is responsible' for some reason. The goal is to turn public opinion against the protests and thus in favor of this bullshit claim for 'law and order'
Republicans are so blatantly evil, they don't care about people dying. All they care about is maintaining power. Actually they probably enjoy seeing people die.
I'm not aware yet of reports of people going missing, which is what I'd connect with the sort of disappearances that would be the scariest thing.
The one account of what these federal agents are doing that I'm aware of is the one posted above. If it's any indication, it's pretty telling (and convenient for them) that they drove the guy to a federal courthouse, and let him go without an arrest record as soon as lawyers came up. I hope the response to this is strong enough to keep them from going further.
There is a legal basis behind their presence in Portland, and legal justification for some of their activity, but it's narrow and fragile. This quasi-explainer from Lawfare is something I found pretty useful.
Lawfare said:
This is an escalation of the Barr-led federal agency response in DC in June, and they're pushing the envelope on what they can do.
Yes, I'll need to find the article. It had quotes from someone that had been arrested by one of the unmarked vehicles.

The Biden campaign admits that one of its most effective weapons against President Trump is Trump himself, what he says and how he acts. "When your opponent is destroying himself, don't interrupt," one Democratic strategist agrees.

'Sleepy Joe'? Trump's Insult May Reveal Biden's Advantage

Conway on Trump's campaign team: 'I will be there' without leaving White House
Conway was Trump's 2016 campaign manager and was credited with saving a flagging election effort.
www.politico.com
Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway said Friday she expects to play a part in President Donald Trump's reelection effort but stopped short of committing to a reprisal of her role as campaign manager.
Conway, Trump's 2016 campaign chief for the final months leading up to Election Day, has been widely credited with steadying the president's uneven campaign and guiding it to an unexpected victory that November. With Trump's campaign similarly floundering in 2020, the counselor to the president said she expects to be involved in the president's debate prep as she was in 2016.
Asked whether she would be willing to step in again as campaign manager, Conway replied that "I want to be where my best and highest use is for the president."
"I was also the only woman in the debate prep most of the time," the counselor to the president said in reference to her tenure with the 2016 Trump campaign. "And I would expect that even if I have to take vacation time, I will be there as well, because that's going to be must-see TV."

Feel like this should be its own thread,
I love the obvious point that this makes to anyone with two brain cells who understands the economy doesn't change overnight... you have Democrats repeatedly inheriting shit economies from Republicans.
Looking forward to the same chart that shows last three months of each presidency.
Trump's Fox News Sunday interview will include Biden battleground ads
Democrat will seek to present himself as leader for pandemic-hit US during interview featuring Trump anger over false claim
www.theguardian.com
Joe Biden will run campaign ads during Donald Trump's eagerly awaited interview with Fox News Sunday.
The president sat down with Chris Wallace, one of the most respected US political interviewers, at the White House on Friday, for his first Sunday show interview in more than a year.
A clip showed Trump claiming Biden wanted to defund police, and had included the policy in a compact agreed with Bernie Sanders, the leftwing senator from Vermont who ran the former vice-president closest in the Democratic primary.
To the president's visible anger, Wallace insisted that was untrue.
Now Biden will run his ad, entitled "Tough", during broadcast of the interview in six battleground states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida and North Carolina.

Trump finally marks the passing of civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis. Highly unusual for the VP to put out a statement before the President (even his daily schedule goes out after Trump's), but that's what happened today.
(Pence still waited until noon today to put his out)

They surely must be screening everyone beforehand to make sure that they are true believers and have them on a delay or something...
That's not to say that someone shouldn't try to make it through!
His plan to get Suburban voters won't work for the sheer fact he was already losing them long before Biden even considered running.
Dude should look at the 2018 Mid-terms for a second but Nah he's too stupid to look at that and keeps believing Racism and other shit will get those guys back on his side.

NEW: Trump administration pushing to block new money for testing, tracing, and CDC in upcoming coronavirus relief bill, by @ericawerner @JStein_Wapo
They really think it will go away if you just ignore it, holy fuck.
Ah, another stage of the administration's "Kill Americans(TM) Plan".
I'm loy-key wondering if the actual plan now for the GoP is to hope that COVID kills enough Dems in battleground states to give Trump a chance...
Problem with that, Dems are actually wearing a mask.
Hope and banking on, " herd immunity" which doesn't exist for this atm.
Just like they were so fucking stupid in thinking children can't get covid.
Do we know the total demographic makeup of people who have died? Like, probably Democrat vs. probable Republicans? Because this really is starting to look like they're trying to spread the virus more now.

I doubt you could get that info, nor would it be helpful anyway, because it's always going to be worse in dense city areas, with lots of public transport, and so the death counts in blue areas like NY and Seattle will skew the total numbers.
The Portland kidnappings are truly terrifying, because they seem to be the normalization of something much worse. Right now there's too many eyes on these events to make people 'disappear,' but if these acts are allowed to continue and escalate then that's a real possibility.
With no accountability it will be impossible to track what happens to everyone and it will be impossible to identify who was involved. An hour-long detainment at a federal courthouse where you're read your Miranda rights becomes an interrogation at a government blacksite where the identified 'criminals' end up becomes the disappearance of anyone they happen to pick up that is overly vocal in opposition to the POTUS on social media. Right now it's just DHS wannabe law enforcement but what happens when it becomes nationwide 'trained and authorized civilians' given costumes (uniforms) and guns and told to patrol the streets picking up anyone who appears to be a dissident.
This is right out of the authoritarian playbook. Create confusion, remove accountability and claim deniability.

I was going to say that he might be ignorant, but the douchebag was in the House for 5 years representing Florida, a neighboring state.
Good job punting on a question that might have made you look even the slightest bit human. F*cking idiot.
What the fuck are those head movements and breathing patterns? Fucking weirdo cunt.
There would be no way for Trump to "make sure they'd happen". If the US was a considered a global covid19 hotspot, there's no way other countries would send their athletes and supporters down there to get infected en masse. They'd boycot the event and ignore any stink Trump tried to raise about it.
