NOT YOUR JURISDICTION!

If you knew how I felt about most issues, you would think I would lean moderate Republican, but more often than not, I do not vote that way because the modern Republican Party is filled with hypocrites.

For one, the hard-right Republicans, which includes FOX News, say they believe in limited federal government, and whenever possible, the states should have the right to govern themselves. This holds true as long as they agree with what the state is doing. When the hypocrites on the right don't agree, then the federal government should intervene. 

Hard-line Republicans will say that Health care for all provided by the federal government, is to much government, but the Federal government telling women they can't have an abortion is ok.

They will also tell you that social programs (entitlements they call them) like Medicare and Social Security is Federal overreach, but sending in federal storm troopers into Portland is appropriate. So In fact, they want limited government as long as they agree. 

Federal Gestapo agents (otherwise known as Custom's and Border Patrol and DHS) have no jurisdiction in Portland, Oregon, or any other city in America. They have jurisdiction over federal buildings and Federal land, otherwise, they should get the f--- off my lawn!

If there are actually riots going on in Portland, that is the jurisdiction of the Portland Police Department. If DHS or CBP agents want to protect that federal court house in Portland, so be it, but that is it. That is their limited jurisdiction!

Samuel Adams and John Hancock and John Adams fought a war to repel a standing British army in the United States, so I will be damned if I see an American dictator direct Federal Agents against American Citizens.

Is it ok for Federal agents to beat and then pepper spray a Navy veteran? Is it ok for Federal agents to tear gas and arrest a group of moms? MOMS? Is it ok for Federal agents to tear gas the mayor of Portland and other protestors? The answer to all these questions is a RESOUNDING NO!!!

Navy veteran Chris David, 53-year-olds, had his arm broken by these thugs. Is this how we treat our veterans now in Trump's America? Cowardly Republican leaders say nothing. And acting DHS secretary Ken Cuccinelli, says everything is being done by the book. Are you kidding me Ken? How can you say that with a straight face? Customs and Border Patrol have no business in Portland. NONE. This can not be happening in American cities!!!

 

The Nazis also deployed storm troops and agents of the government to beat, arrest and kill dissidents. Unacceptable! And Chad Wolf, the head of Department of Homeland Security, who is not Senate approved, is a Trump goon and jack-booted thugs!

Someone I know and respect today said, "at some point the Feds need to step in." I respectfully and forcefully DISAGREE. Where is that line drawn, and more importantly who gets to draw that line? Is it Donald Trump? And if that is the case, how long will it be before he turns federal agents on his political enemies like his idol Vladimir Putin does in Russia. 

Remember Republicans don't like universal health care and call it socialism, well what is turning government agents on your own people - OH yeah Communism. HYPOCRITES!!!!!

I am done with these hypocrites who wrap themselves up in the flag and then violate everything that flag stands for. Any federal agent who moves in to my city, better be prepared for the same reception British Redcoats received.

God bless America and the U.S. Constitution, which to some of us still means something.
