      Cut off all Federal aid, withdraw all Federal officers and judiciary.

      Let them be as weird as they wish and as weird as the state will allow.

        Do they get to stop paying into the federal treasury too?

          There is definitely a troubling aspect to federal forces engaging with citizens but no doubt this is also very much a rhetorical was and the left is looking past real anarchists doing millions in damage as if that doesn’t matter.

            It's ok to criticize both those things, Loki.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              I will never be clear about how true the emotions are that people lay claim to publicly when they know those alleged emotions are rhetorical evidence that the point they're making really matters. But "deeply troubling" tends to be a communicable emotional state that doesn't have to be based on anything real, so I suppose the emotions could just as easily be real. Claiming to feel them is really just claiming to have been told by your tribe that you should be feeling them.

                That’s all I am asking for. The media to show both issues side by side. I agree 100% with you.

                  While we are on the topic and we show umarked people in unmarked vans let’s show pictures of the rioters in black with storm trooper helmets and their outfits as well side by side. Looks like two armies to me.

                    Loki. Turn off the TV and take a walk. Pick a nice route with nice trees and a pretty sky and other nice things to look at.

                      Those are the sorts of posts that boil down to you expressing a wish that people shut up about certain things, Cats.

                        Not my intention. I don't feel anything like that harsh. Rather, Loki sounds like he needs to refresh his soul.

                          You were telling him that by talking about those things, he betrayed a soul in need of refreshing. You were shaming him for talking about whatever it is that you would prefer people not talk about.

                              I get out often and am quite happy. For all the critical thinking we teach kids in school it just amazes me how much worse the one sided has become. The irony is incredible.

                              I would prefer we left Portland alone and let the rioters do their thing. That would be the best lesson of all. I thought the CHAZ dystopia would teach people but we need another one in Portland combined with increasing deaths and the bills to come due for all the cities and all the damage done by riots.

                              Budgets are already being cut as a result. The first victims will be in education and healthcare as the governors are essentially ministers of health and education.

                              Loss of tax base due to businesses shuttered due to riots, and then the repair bills. If the Moms and Dads want to pay for it through increased taxes I am for that too.

                                          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
