Why Does Nancy Care about Portland?
American Thinker.com ^ | July 21, 2020 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 07/21/2020 4:37:26 AM PDT by Kaslin

In poker they call it a “tell” when someone inadvertently signals their hand. So what do you call it when all the usual Democratic suspects pile on when Trump’s G-men take on the Antifa regime thugs in Portland?

And why Nancy Pelosi? Why is she so concerned?

And now even “moms” are peacefully protesting for the right of their children to riot. Hey Midge Decter! That you would have lived to see a rerun of your Sixties reportage, Liberal Parents, Radical Children!

The question is, do Democratic leaders believe that the riots help them win in November? Or are they afraid of losing control of the party if they don’t go along with the crazies?

I’ve decided that it’s the latter. The Democratic party is being taken over by the woke left and the old generation of leaders is desperately trying to stay in control for one last cycle. Probably they will fail and be thrown out after the 2020 election, especially if Trump wins.

Remember back in 2018 when Genius Pelosi got a whole class of moderate Democrats elected to the House? Wasn’t she smart? All those suburban women electing moderates to Congress, and Nancy got to be Speaker again.

Only, it is now clear, Nancy Pelosi isn’t really in charge. She is running desperately after the woke mob trying not to lose control of the Democratic caucus completely. Oh sure, she’s good at the Women in White thingy for the State of the Union speech. But the wokeys are in the saddle, and they are canceling all and sundry, whether it’s Bari Weiss at the New York Times or Andrew Sullivan at New York / Vox.

When Pelosi is considered a moderate, this country is in trouble.

The whole ‘dissent’ mess is ANOTHER money laundering mechanism for Liberals.

Money is siphoned into those places like a sewer sucking sludge!

The riots are NOT good for Democrats in November because the lamestream media has stopped covering them. THAT’S how you know that internal polling is showing that Americans wholeheartedly disapprove of these ‘protesters.’

I assume the DHS had gotten arrest warrants issued by a judge.

A now peaceful demonstrator who committed an illegal act a week ago is subject to arrest.

Nancy Pelosi is considered a fascist by many of her constituents.

The West Coast has many extreme leftists.

The Democrats created this mob (the same as they created the KKK). They are the brown shirts of party. Their job is to shut down any opposition by any means necessary.

You know they are Democrat control by the fact that most of this is going on in Democrat controlled areas but more importantly, those in charge are preventing the police from stopping them Even when arrested the Democrat District Attorneys let them back on the street.

The Democrats think they control this beast they created but they can not. Out side of the paid agitators every individual participating in the riots have their own reason for what they are doing. They are not following any leader, they are just enjoying the ability to run wild with no consequences.

As someone pointed out there is no way that this chaos helps the Democrats. President Trump is not following the script they wrote.

He was suppose to send in the Army early to put down the rioters and then they would use that action against him.

So far the President keeps offering to help which in a Federal form of government is what he is suppose to do. If the Democrat Governors or Mayors don’t ask for help...well they can deal with it.

Exception is when they went after Federal property in which case he can act without permission of the state or local authority. And even with his mild response the Democrats attempted to paint him as an out of control dictator.

I don’t see this going for another three months.

As far as control over the Democrat party goes, who controls the money controls the party. In the end, it will be the money people who decides the fate of the Democrat party.

I do see this going on for a long time. The dims created this monster and have lost control. The young guns of the party are dedicated soviets and have no intention of listening to the older dims.

This election comes down to freedom vs. violent communism.

I disagree.

The riots will end first when the agitators leave taking the money, and second when the police begin making arrest and the District Attorney does not dismiss the charges.

The media is no longer covering the violence. They understand the visuals are helping President Trump.

The locals will either ask for help or they will shut it down themselves. Either way they will not last until the election

Yes. The author leaves out another possible reason Nasty Pelosi is nervous. DHS may arrest enough of the leadership to prove that the money and instigation for these violent insurrectionists starts at the top of the ‘Rat establishment.

Nancy is powerless. She is a toothless (literally) old woman struggling to hold on to the power she thought she had.

Nancy Pelosi is figurative nothingness who has lost her party to radical anti Americans that must be put to the sword

To show what they will do if Trump wins and note post #6 if they do win.
