From NBC News:
The Republican silence on what’s happening in Portland is jarring
The Republican silence on what’s happening in Portland is jarring: If you’ve followed American politics over the last 10 years, you might be surprised that Republicans are more outraged at Liz Cheney than they are federal armed agents that just tear-gassed a city’s mayor.
What happened to “Don’t tread on me”?
What happened to states’ rights?
What happened to freedom of speech and assembly?
It’s easy to understand in our current politics why elected Republicans aren’t speaking out against the Department of Homeland Security forces in liberal, urban Portland. (Sen. Rand Paul is one exception.)
But if you lived through the Obama Era, this Republican silence is jarring.
And the next time they’re out of power from the White House, it will only undercut future efforts by them to decry federal overreach.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, fuck you.
We are not falling for this. You will not bait us into it.
The entire Left might be suffering from some sort of hysterical blindness where they, like Mayor Ted Wheeler, can look directly at rioter setting a federal courthouse on fire and just not see it but we can.
Ted Wheeler supports ANTIFA https://t.co/z8j2oR7bN6

It is not “states’ rights” or “freedom of speech and assembly” to set a federal courthouse on fire.
People were murdered in the CHAZ/CHOP. Not one person was killed in any Tea Party protest.
You are not going to bait us into outrage at federal law enforcement arresting people who permanently blind them with lasers.
No, fuck you.
Like everyone else were just watching the dumpster fire burn. The Democrats own this shit show among others, no comment needed.
Remember how they supported the Bundy occupation of Malheur?
Oh wait, no, they didn’t, they mocked them and hoped they got murdered by feds (and one did get murdered). It was so egregious they couldn’t get convictions in Portland, OR against the Malheur ‘occupiers’.
if I am not mistaken, this is raw footage of Ted Wheeler at the “protest”

“Why aren’t you joining in our attack on the federal government!”
Strong sense of “let’s you and him fight”.
Not my circus, not my monkeys. Fuck you NBC.
That last little bit of information really changes things. Someone shining a laser at your eyes may receive live ammo in return.
I’m pretty sure that covers ‘great bodily harm’.
It is the light switch vs dimmer switch in front of dim watts.
For years we heard about how the Israeli’s were shooting and harming poor Palestinians were just “throwing rocks” at them.
Then I learned that the rocks they were throwing were actually bricks in size. Having somebody throw BRICKS at me sounds a heck of a lot different than throwing “rocks” or “stones”.
These mobs are being very very careful in the weapons they choose to use. “Bottles of water” (frozen), “soda cans” (full), “laser pointers”(high power), “fireworks” (2in mortars)
All of this is designed to change the perception of people hearing about the events.
I covered a terrible case from earlier this year.
The media reported “Palestinians throw rocks, Israel shoots back” and showed stock footage of little kids with rocks the size of golf balls.
Reality was a Palestinian threw a cinder block off the roof of an apartment and it killed an Israeli soldier when it hit him in the head.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a 2W laser that burns your retina or a ice pick piercing it, permanent eye damage is still permanent eye damage and the assault should be treated the same.
And if you look at the various classes of laser warning labels, you’ll learn that it only takes a couple of milliwatts to make a laser capable of permanent eye damage.
NBC: heh.
Try this one on for size: “NBC’s silence on what’s happening to Tucker Carlson is jarring”
Dear NBC: FYVM.
