Kate Brown and are in the early stages and there is still no agreement. The news came as the city of Portland announced its own action against the deployment of troops by

Sure no problem. All damages to the building must be paid out of city funds with interest. And all city officials must also waive any personal immunity.

Very simple. Withhold any Federal funding. Hold Portland responsible for any damage to Federal property.

Close the Portland air port and move all Federal Building activities to the eastern part of Oregon!

It's time to start charging Oregon $1,000 every 15 minutes to cover the cost of having federal agents come in and save their butts from the anarchists and violent thug rioters.
Hey, if Oregon wants to play this game, the feds can play it too!!!

Arrest the mayor and governor. If they ever finish destroying the city, they will be begging for federal funds from all of US.

Barr should turn around and fine the Portland mayor, 2 state senators, and the governor $1,000/day for causing the rioting, looting, burning, maiming, and killing innocent citizens and the cost of rehabbing the federal building.

Trump should fine them 1000$ every 15" for damage to our court house.
I would like to see them collect their fine though

I'm with #6, this must be fake news. There is no way that the Federal Government is going to leave with this group attaching federal property. That will not happen.

No problem, we'll pay for the fence with YOUR money as we reduce your cut of the Fed Money.

At this point, I'd simply cut all Federal Funds to the city, or offer it to the people and businesses that have been destroyed to start up life somewhere else.

Good luck with that! If they had any Brains at all, they wouldn't start a pissing contest with Trump! The Big Guy won't take kindly to those LITTLE Dweebs challenging him. They likely will see any Federal Funds cut off , like tomorrow!!

The money is waiting inside the Courthouse, after dark.
Come and get it.
Or forfeit.

Oregon (Portland) and Washington state (Seattle) are examples of what you get when Kalifornia liberals move in.

It appears Portland and the state of Oregon are looking to unwind this fiasco. It is now not serving its purpose...

So....a Federal Courthouse on Federal property with fencing set up on Federal property. I don’t think the State, County or City have jurisdiction to charge anything.
