Want to make them go away, quit trying to destroy the federal courthouse. Simple answer for your simple mind.

Ok Marianne what would you do here? Abandon the federal courthouse and let the rioters loot and burn it? Oregon’s Mayor and Governor have had more than a month to quell this and they haven’t.

PDX has been a shit show for years. If the citizens, local and state authorities can’t figure out how to get a handle on the root cause of the problem & they don’t want outside help, so be it but don’t ask for federal funds to help clean up the aftermath.

Abolish the entire Department . . . . Where are all of the small-government types? The bureaucracy haters?? Cuz the DHS is nothing but a monstrous conglomeration of REDUNDANT policing & surveillance agencies. Where are all of the 'States' rights' crowd?

The agency doesn't need to exist. It never did.

The fact that you give so much credibility to the 'formers' of our now decaying government suggests that you want to return to that decrepit system.
