Rep. Rashida Tlaib has a habit of making very rash statements and Monday was no different. She was triggered when the President announced some of his plans to deal with the unrest taking place in US cities.
President Trump said on Monday that “more federal law enforcement” will be headed to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detriot, Baltimore, Oakland, and other cities to deal with the unrest. Trump also gave his officers in portland the thumbs up.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib didn’t like that very much and said, “They’ll have to arrest me first if they think they’re going to illegally lay their hands on my residents.”

We can only hope that Rep. Tlaib keeps her word.
Imagine images like below that we’ve seen from Portland except they are taking place in Detriot with Rep. Tlaib taking part. If that would not be a Trump campaign commercial I don’t know what would be.

Quietly there are reports coming out that Democrats are getting nervous about the unrest in Northwest.
A surprising number of Left-leaning people are confiding to me that they are planning to vote for Trump for two different stated leading reasons:
A) Biden’s Mental decline.
B) What is happening in the Pacific Northwest w Democratic Mayors/Govenors experimenting w non-policing.

Anyone else seeing this? It’s two different reactions. Both of them indicating that there is something catastrophicly wrong with this process. All of them previously *bitterly* opposed to Trump, and many even to the Republican Party.
