Even J D Pritzker, governor of Illinois, warned his citizens to not take the bait. Non- engagement is good advice.
Ass Crack Dingle Berry is mad because Portland threatened to revoke the lease on the building that ICE is using as their headquarters? Something like that. I seem to remember that their was something out of order about ICE's use of the building. Not sure about the details.
If one of our senators is suggesting non-engagement, then at least initially, that may be the best strategy.
Rump just thinks that Portland is full of wild eyed radicals and that we are an easy target for the war he wants to unleash on the Blue states. And, he wants to distract from the Epstein files .
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
