The Democrats’ surrender in Portland, coming so precipitously after the appearance by Attorney General Barr before the Judiciary Committee in the House, looks like a favorable development, insofar as it goes. It may be too soon for victory to be declared by America’s government and other allies of moderation, law, and order. We’d like to think, though, that the capitulation in Portland suggests that principle can prevail.
The deal was struck Wednesday, the day after Mr. Barr laid down the law before the House Judiciary Committee: “Since when is it okay to try and burn down a federal court,”

Where are these "peaceful protesters" to which they keep referring? They seem to be as rare as happy homosexuals and respectful "teens."

Don't trust them. They are liars and cheats. The courthouse will be burned to the ground within days of Oregon taking over protecting it.

They teach no discipline
In public schools anymore
Thus the undisciplined wild ones
In the streets of radical left cities

It is a big victory for the common sense: big city dwellers do not want to be saved and there was no point of saving them. Police is betrayed by mayors ans councils, they would not risk lawsuits to protect some buildings.
The cities will burn and hopefully it will alienate enough voters - but I am not holding my breath.

Wow! I think the video Jim Jordan at the House Hearing must have "woke" a lot of people! Before the video was aired, a lot of folks did not see the real carnage happening, in Portland, night after night. Even FOX cut away from the same video shown during Outnumbered. Then they apologized for the part that was shown. Why? Americans need to see for themselves! They don't need to be protected and they sure don't need FOX censoring a video showing what is happening all over our country! As for Federal dollars going to help Portland clean up and rebuild their city, no way! They made the mess, they can clean it up themselves.

A good negotiator knows how to play on ego. Winning often comes with providing your opponent the means for them to proclaim victory while you walk away quietly, with everything you wanted.

I don't believe this for one minute. Some people got embarrassed by AG Barr and Jim Jordan but that's over and stopped right there. The Federal government thinks the federal property will be protected from those feral hoodlums they have another thing coming. The streets need to be swept clean of the vermin standing in with a sounding thrashing and jail time until then they trash in Portland still own the place.

The governor and mayor are part of the mob. They will pay lip service to this agreement and then let antifa burn it down and then blame Trump for not protecting it.

Well, well, well! Looks like Ken Cuccinelli struck the final blow. Good for you, sir. Now arrange for all restoration of damage to be paid out of Ted Wheeler's city budget. The resulting budget shortfall should then be taken from city taxpayers in the form of a special assessment. Then we'll leave it for the taxpayers to tar & feather Wheeler and frog march him to his promised land.

Even Alinsky recognized that too much is too much. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag." Portland under siege had become a drag. Now everyone can proudly walk away under their negotiated deal...and you can bet a nice Federal "emergency relief" check is on its way to Oregon.

The Democrats Surrendered months ago, nothing they say or do now is to be believed, its all for show. We don't know what the deal is but I doubt Trump will be pulling the protection any time soon.

The Biden campaign already has an ad out blaming President Trump for the anarchy in Portland, Seattle, and other places.
Yep, according to democrats, because Trump is President, they were forced to riot murder, burn and loot.
Fact is stranger than fiction!

Today's Democrats - together with their protectors, defenders, enablers, promoters (the MSM) - are a loathsome bunch, and absolutely, positively despicable. Are their followers really listening to what they're saying?

Let's start calling Democrats "Riot Deniers", similar to Holocaust Deniers...

I agree with #6, the so-called mainstream (liberal) media, these days including the “woke” Fox News Channel obviously believe that they are in business to create a filter between the American people and reality, as was clearly shown by Fox News when they cut away from the video, thus denying the American people seeing the reality of all the criminal rioting that has been going on, that the leftist and liberal Democrats have been falsely referring to as being “peaceful protests”. In other words, those media entities only want the American people to know what the media wants the American people to know, and right now that obviously does not include the criminal rioting and looting that has caused a huge amount of physical damage in mostly all liberal Democrat run inner city “communities”.

Are the Antifa bums on Portland Obama Democrats or just Lenin Bolsheviks?

Perhaps we need to temporarily re-name all the court houses. See if BLM will burn down the John Lewis Courthouse or the MLK Courthouse. Once the riots are settled, then the names can be changed back.

IF (and IMO that is a very big if), the Oregon State Police actually DO protect the courthouse, then the insane mob and their evil Demonrat enablers (governor and mayor) will have lost.
We will watch and see what actually happens.

I'll believe it when we see those Troopers slam down the rioters when they try to burn down the court.

Where the hell is Portlands Chief of Police Chuck Lovell hiding? He's an embarrassment to the law enforcement profession for not doing his job by quelling these unlawful assemblies turned riots in the town he swore to protect and serve. I'd be willing to be he's an Affirmative Action hire.
