You would think maybe one media outlet could not only assert that this isn't true, but also make a big, multi-day story out of the fact the U.S. president believes a perfectly fine, major American city is a burning, dystopian hellscape

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

This is a flex.

He know his rubes will believe any shit he tells them and he wants to see how far he can take it.

Next week he'll tell them everyone in Portland lives in caves now and eats brontosaurus ribs like the Flintstones.

Driving from SE Texas to New Mexico today and saw that Arlen was on the way so of course we had to drive down Rainey Street to look at Hank Hill's lawn. So worth the detour.

They are threatening our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS right out in full view.

Do NOT be intimidated.

Show up on October 18th to remind them that The People have the Power!

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

This is all they needed, under the pretext of violent protests.

A day of peaceful protest where the feds will now send armed troops and NG, ready to shoot first and ask questions later.

It's amazing how deeply and fundamentally dishonest the GOP is at every level. Just a party of rank liars.

Look how quickly the “justification” for deploying military troops to US cities mutated.

Just weeks ago it was, Crime!

Now it’s: hypothetical imagined crimes by Americans peacefully demonstrating in an act of constitutionally sacred dissent.

"They" are labeling our protest next week as a "hate America" protest.
Let's show them how much we "hate" America by dancing, singing, handing out flowers, being joyful as we march against their tyranny! Take a page out of Portland's book!!

Peaceful protest is a Constitutionally protected civil right (and duty). This criminal regime is violating our laws, using our money, to use against US. No Justice.

First Johnson and now Emmer using the same words, saying Americans exercising their first amendment rights are "terrorist" and "hate America". They're going to use these protests as an excuse to establish martial law, people. It's coming.
