Our dear Clueless leader has declared war on cities that apparently did not vote for him in the past….First DC then on to Memphis and now into Portland Oregon…..ICE and the Nat Guard are being used to subjugate the city and its people….now fast forward to the silly pep rally that Hogsbreath and Donny forced generals to attend and one thing stood out for me…..the use of combat troops in our cities as a training exercise….
Does any of this smell funny to anyone else?
Could any of this bolster be for real?
A senior White House official accidentally leaked details of plans to send an elite army unit to Portland, in the latest intelligence leak by the Trump administration.
Anthony Salisbury, a top deputy to Stephen Miller, the influential White House policy adviser, was observed using Signal in a public place to discuss a plan to deploy the army’s 82nd airborne division to Portland, the Democratic-run Oregon city which Donald Trump has repeatedly castigated as being “war-ravaged”.
The Minnesota Star Tribune obtained images of Salisbury’s Signal messages, which it said were sent while the official was “in clear view of others” in Minnesota.
…
“82nd is like our top tier [quick reaction force] for abroad. So it will cause a lot of headlines,” he added. “Probably why he wants potus [Trump] to tell him to do it.”
The 82nd airborne division is an elite unit that specialises in parachute assaults and forcible entry operations. It was deployed in both world wars and the wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan. A recent commander was the last American soldier to withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021.

Sending an elite combat unit to an American city (for training purposes) should have all Americans up in arms…..
One small thing for now but it could go to SCOTUS….
US District Judge Karin Immergut had issued a temporary restraining order blocking the mobilization on Saturday. Oregon had argued that the president exceeded his constitutional authority in mobilizing federal troops for local duty, per the Times, and probably violated the 10th Amendment. California has won a similar case. Immergut’s ruling said she expects a trial court will agree with the state. An attorney for Oregon said in court that Trump’s actions “represent one of the most dramatic infringements on state sovereignty in Oregon’s history” and “radically reshape the balance of federal-state power.”
Trump, who appointed Immergut, complained about her decision in a post Sunday, per CNBC. “I wasn’t served well by the people that picked judges,” he wrote, saying the judge “ought to be ashamed of herself” because “Portland is burning to the ground.” Mayor Keith Wilson said Portland is looking for legal means to halt the deployment. Kotek said that 101 California National Guard troops arrived by plane on Saturday night and that more were on the way. Federal officials have not said what duties they would carry out other than assisting ICE operations.
This is all retaliate against Dem lead governments…..should not our limited resources be better used?
Judge has told Donny ‘no can do’ for Portland….
A federal judge on Sunday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon, including the California National Guard, the AP reports. California and Oregon sought the temporary restraining order after the president sent guard members from California to Oregon earlier in the day. On Saturday, the same judge temporarily blocked the administration from deploying Oregon National Guard troops to Portland. A Pentagon spokesperson said in a statement that about 200 federalized members of the California National Guard who had been on duty around Los Angeles were being reassigned to Portland. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said about 100 arrived Saturday and around 100 more were en route Sunday. Kotek said there had been no formal communication with the federal government about the deployment.
But how does this involve the 82nd? Or does it involve it?
Anybody that supports this type of crap is no f**king American…..PERIOD!

I’m speechless. Thank you for not being,
Thanx Nan….that is my problem I cannot let anything go….LOL chuq
I’m at a loss to know what these troops are actually supposed to be doing in these so-called ‘war ravaged’ cities. All I see are reports showing them walking around cities fully armed, or driving AFVs up quiet streets. So I have to presume the idea is to provoke ‘violent’ resistance, which Trump will use to justify their presence in the first place. Then blame ‘The Democrats’, and ‘Antifa’ of course.
Best wishes, Pete.
THat is his best excuse….Dems and antifa…..chuq
This popped up this morning in the Washington Post regarding VA false claims.
