So what's your problem with "federal executive's authority over the states" in this instance? Right back to what I originally said.
it's your ing post dip

Genuine question - do you know what communism is? Define communism for us.
No, these were posts, but you deliberately didn't post them because you're disengenuous
That's not this week.
The problem is that unlike coronavirus, this is a regular police matter local to Portland. I'd try to explain the difference to you, but you don't do well with lawyer words
Are you saying that's not your response to my question?
I don't think that your denial would hold up well in court, as the weight of evidence is heavily against you.
I’m sure Darrin carefully read that article beginning to end before he posted it
You mean the regular police that had been burned out of their precinct 50 days ago?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Point me to a case or a law that says that when a fire is lit on a police precinct, the state losses its cons utional authority, because I have an amendment that says otherwise.
Oh, that's right, you can't. Stupid games indeed.
Show me a case or law that says when a corona virus is in pandemic stage, states lose responsibility for their decisions to group highest risk elderly with positive COVID cases. You can't. Stupid games.
Wrong. Try me.
They still are. I was in Seattle last January.
even with riots on the streets Portland and Seattle are much nicer places to be than your average 50,000 person town where everyone is 150 lbs overweight, shops at Walmart and votes conservative.
I'm not opposed to policing, I'm opposed to denying american citizens their cons utional rights.
and lmao @ communism
Feds, Right-Wing Media Paint Portland As 'City Under Siege.'
A Tour Of Town Shows Otherwise
In a city of 650,000 spread out over 145 square miles, national figures focus on police crackdowns on protesters on a scant few blocks night after night.
One America News Network describes “violence gripping the city.”
A Fox News headline blares “Portland protesters flood police precinct, chant about burning it down.”
The New York Post reported Saturday that Portland “descended into violence.”
The images that populate national media feeds, however, come almost exclusively from a tiny point of the city:
a 12-block area surrounding the Justice Center and federal courthouse.
And they occur exclusively during late-night hours in which only a couple hundred or fewer protesters and scores of police officers are out in the city’s coronavirus-hollowed downtown.
Those events are hardly representative of daily life, including peaceful anti-racism demonstrations that have drawn tens of thousands of protesters, in a city of 650,000 people that encompasses 145 square miles.

Very clear that Trash/Barr wanted to see how they could go to push Los Federales, under a bull declaration of National Emergency, into US cities.
They discovered they could and
that not the Dems nor nobody else could or would stop them or punish them.
All is ready for the Unitary Executive to declare marital law and a National Emergency, use the DHS army, National Guard, sheriffs, metro police to lock down the country
Straw man. And I posted at least one basis for Trump having the authority to do something -- too bad Trump's too much of a pussy to do anything about it. That was one of the things you neglected to quote when I asked you to quote me. Too bad he's too much of a pussy to do anything.
Only a simpleton like you would think that the coronavirus response is the same as local crime.
aesthetically maybe, but they're turning to homeless wise, faster than most places
If you think this is bad, wait a couple more months, especially if Congress continues to sit on their asses.
On the other hand, all the retail space becoming available might be a partial solution to the housing crisis in most large metro areas.
I still don't know if i should reup my lease, I'm doing it for nine months but I expect that to floor sometime soon
Doubt it's going to make a dent here in LA, but we'll see. I'm keeping an eye on housing prices though. If it really gets bad, might be an opportunity, tbh
It doesn't have to be the same to be a state issue, and I never said Portland was a federal issue - I only said you claimed POTUS was in control when it suited your argument, and that you need to make up your ing mind. Only a lawyer would try to equate the two scenarios, and even then only if said lawyer stepped on his own . You said the POTUS was in control of NY. I quoted you.
