      President Donald Trump ordered military troops to be deployed to Portland, Oregon, and said he is authorizing the use of “full force” if necessary to fight crime.

      “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” Trump said Saturday in a post on Truth Social. “I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”

      The Trump administration has deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and Memphis. The post wasn’t specific about whether he was referring to Guard troops or regular military.

      He specifically doesn’t mention National Guard and says that he’s “also authorizing Full Force” whatever the hell that means. So, is this another photo op with a couple NG guys standing on a corner, or something bigger?

    3. For fuck’s sake, he’s such a fuckhead and a fascist. He wants a civil war and no elections in 2026. That’s the plan, right?

      I said this yesterday…. the new Epstein file releases on Friday was going to push him to do crazy stuff this weekend.

    5. I mean Posse Comitatus bans „force“ or any law enforcement avtivity by military in a domestic sense…but ok then

      He also needs approval/request from the governor to even deploy the guard but im guessing he doesn’t care

      Well, with Oregon being full of militia types who claim to love the Constitution, I expect to see hundreds, maybe thousands of bearded white dudes with oakleys and Molle carriers protesting this move!

      J/K they love the taste of jackboots.

      Remember, these are not the actions of a strong regime. Trump has to announce all these military invasions of places that won’t bend the knee because he knows he doesn’t have control of the country, and if we organize and resist together, he never will.

      We must have very different definition of what „War ravaged cities“ are. What a joke

      Is „Full Force“ an actual military term or is this just made up tough-guy bullshit?

    10. Portland: please make them look silly.

      Bore them. Maybe they’ll start gardening.

      As someone who lives in Portland, I find it beyond baffling that people think there is some kind of crisis here. What are they going to do, break up some of the bike theft gangs? Help you get a reservation at KANN? I can’t imagine going through life thinking Portland is a dangerous place.

      Also, it’s crazy to think how much effort could be devoted to homelessness for the money they’re going to blow on this.

      Every officer who goes along with this needs to be kept track of for a dishonorable discharge. Every single one of them is violating their oath.

      Portland is doing just fine. It’s not on fire, or in danger of being burnt down. There aren’t even any demonstrations happening, it’s gorgeous fall weather, the leaves just starting to turn, and people are out doing normal things. There’s new construction and new projects happening and in general life is very normal.

      I can’t imagine what anyone thinks soldiers would do here. Maybe they’ll pick up trash like they did in DC?

      Or is this the beginning of the going loud phase?

      *edit*

      I’m making a trip to drop someone off at the airport later today, maybe I’ll see something happening.

    14. Really hate news that’s locked behind a paywall. Bloomberg can get wrecked.

      I’ve been hearing Donald Trump talk about Antifa for 10 years. I’ve never seen mass Antifa movements. I’ve seen Proud Boys ravage our very own Capitol, and literal Nazis in the streets. What do they get? Presidential pardons and commendment for being „warriors“ and „patriots“. Now the president is sending armed troops to every major blue city and labeling all who oppose him as terrorist groups. This is fascist authoritarian rule. Donald Trump is waging war on our very own country. He has called us „rats“, „scum“, and „the enemy within“.

      It’s beyond frustrating that we saw this coming, and the masses didn’t come out in DROVES to vote against him. If this doesn’t finally energize all who oppose him, I don’t know what will.

      This motherfucker is at war with the United States. That is not hyperbole.

      Fucking child raping pedophile fascist piece of shit.

      I’d use the troops to pick up litter and dogshit. I have not one single patriotic cell left in my body. I served my country honorably, this government and its politicians all of em, have no integrity.

    18. I’m a Portland resident and it’s still so wild how people perceive Portland from afar. Especially people who consider it a war zone. The administration will not be getting the reaction they are hoping for and it’ll be hilarious to see loitering soldiers near brunch lines or watching some street performers outside of Powell’s

      This won’t become anything. I live in Portland and it’s quite literally a safe haven if you aren’t a catalytic converter.

      Seriously. As far as big cities go, it doesn’t get cozier than this.

      I’m in Portland. There’s literally nothing going on to warrant the troops being here or using full force for anything besides fixing potholes.
