IS THIS REALLY GOING TO WORK?

I Can't See Any Reason Why It Should

by Bob Walsh

Theoretically the Mayor of Portland, the Governor of Oregon and Donald Trump have reached a semi-agreement to withdraw (or more likely just not deploy) federal "troops" (law enforcement officers) from Portland once the locals and staties get up and running to protect federal property.  

The mayor is practically jacking off with a microphone, screaming about how he has beaten the vile Orange Man and how it was the mere presence of federal "troops" in Portland that was encouraging otherwise peaceful protesters to riot.  He seems to think that Trump is going to pull every federal law enforcement and protective services agent out of Portland pretty much overnight.  

Trump has said that the extra people will be withdrawn as soon as the locals can demonstrate that they are able and willing to do the job.

My own opinion, for what that is worth, is that within a very few days it will become apparent that the locals are unable or unwilling to do the job.
