President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what’s being portrayed to him.

“I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

    We lost the plot on that one when we used the National Guard to force the shitty racist confederate states to be a little bit less racist. It set a bad precedent and with the power of hindsight was not the correct move. In hindsight we should have just Nuremberg’d all the traitorous confederates right after they lost. We’d be in much better shape now.
