There's a billion things wrong with the country and this is horrific but by pretty much any definition it isn't a failed state no.Unidentified "feds" dragging people into unmarked cars to who the fuck knows where
But the US isn't a failed state
If true, then that is disturbing to say the least.According to the reporter and podcaster Robert Evans, the feds have set up sniper nests on top of the Federal Courthouse.
It is.
1st Amendment - Freedom of peaceful assembly.Can you say what rights this violates? I want to be educated on this. Amendments? Miranda? I already have right wing nuts on Facebook saying Portland/Oregon isn't doing their job so the feds have to take care of it.
DHS has now explained what they're doing in Portland. It is some terrifying, fascist shit.uhmmm, if they're not showing credentials and not talking to local authorities, how do they know these are actual federal agents and not some militarized right wing group (or more likely Police Officers) kidnapping and murdering protesters?
Till they are directly impacted. Personally. This is America.How bad does shit have to get in the US before people on this forum admit that the alarmists among us were right to be alarmist?
Yes but these aren't cops, and as we have seen, even fucking cops will cover up their ID badges.Are police legally required to have id showing?
Epsilon-delta_ They will obviously say they weren't being peaceful.

A state with clearly defined borders, a strong centralized government and international recognition from every other country is not a failed state.
We are literally turning the corner. The institutions meant to protect us against this are literally failing.Americans should start getting prepared, fascism is around the corner...
That's a theory, actually. That these are civilians dressing up. Doesn't hold up particularly well given the DHS's recent statement, though.What's to say someone couldn't be abducted by people in similar attire?
Who are these people?

The descriptions in the running log are in stark contrast to the typical "suspects."DHS has now explained what they're doing in Portland. It is some terrifying, fascist shit.
Plus nonsense about beans. (Not that the president touting products isn't a bad fucking thing.)The rest of the country is taking forever to realize this is happening... Portland needs help and the media is too busy focusing on east coast bullshit, Bari Weiss resigning, etc etc instead of federal secret police shit going on in Portland right now
#FreePortland
Soft power
"The city has been under siege for 47 days, so instead of actually trying to reform the country and do better, we're going to start making people disappear."DHS has now explained what they're doing in Portland. It is some terrifying, fascist shit.

Experts say this is just weird Portland being weird. Nothing to see. Move on, y'all.
