The whole “bbbbbut Trump encouraged his supporters to____(fill in the blank)” is not holding much water when “their side” really didn’t do anything extreme or violent (Not saying him encouraging such stupidity is a good idea or justified), yet “your side” is out there committing acts of violence and treason; but I suppose that doesn’t matter as long as they check the same letter box as you in primary day

I wouldn't put the cops anywhere near them.

Anyone see Tucker Carlson's opening tonight? He spoke about a new, emerging nation - Chaz! God, that was hilarious. He cautioned though that one cannot book travel to Chaz on Expedia...yet.

Someone posted it on a new thread in this forum: "Seattle gives birth to the World's 196th country!"

My question is: why are Leftists in their precious urban enclaves suddenly determined to destroy them? It's like Jonestown at a national level.

The Mayor and the Chief of Police....to say they are lame is too give lame a bad name.

Negotiating with them? These aren't decent citizens, they are terrorists and need to be treated as such. They need to understand this kind of crap isn't going to be allowed and has major consequences. If foreign radicals took over a few blocks in any city in America, we wouldn't be trying to "negotiate" a return of that land, we would be forcibly taking it from them and imprisoning the criminals afterwards.

Did that happen with Malheur? Armed right wing radicals took over Malheur for six weeks and they were acquitted. They won the support of right wingers everywhere even though they foolishly started "begging for snacks" due to their poor planning. The occupation turned half the county against the other and Ammon Bundy went back to Idaho. Don't make it sound like right wingers don't protest.

You are making an assumption. I have never said that right-wingers didn't protest. What has happened here has gone beyond protest and is basically terrorism and anarchy. Go in, arrest them and re-establish authority in your own city. Malheur was also not a protest either and was basically domestic terrorism and shouldn't have been tolerated.

You mistakenly made the assumption that I was here to beat up on left-wing extremists while ignoring acts perpretated by right-wing extremists. Both groups are essentially anarchists who want to cause chaos in society. Showing weakness and negotiating with them only gives them legitimacy, convinces them that they are right and encourages this type of extremist behavior in the future.

Really? This map suggests differently. Clearly most of the Democrat votes are concentrated in the more populous areas.

I suggest you look at the numbers of the votes compared to population. Jefferson County for example had about 5,000 votes for Biden compared to its population of 30,000. Seems right leaning to me.

Also this article below suggests the budget deficits for Seattle will be particularly bad and likely harder to meet, especially as businesses close.

Land doesn’t vote. People vote. Trump only got 36% from the entire state. And boohoo, maybe 33 mostly rural counties won’t get $3 billion dollars from Seattle this year. Maybe they will have to support themselves without Seattle’s money.

Now Durkan and Best are denying they ordered the police station to be surrendered. I watched her on the tele last night (Durkan). I can't imagine a more conscientiously stupid person if I tried.

Get ready. The big dog is coming to town.
