#1 I think they realized the feds were getting too close to the mob bosses.

#2 It was polling badly for the Democrats.

#4 Couldn't see through the forest fire smoke to throw their Molotov cocktails at the cops...

#5 Too busy starting forest fires.

#6 Re Antifa icons: anyone else see a ripoff of The Rolling Stones logo?

#7 Unfortunately, it a copy of the German Communists. They called themselves Antifaschistische Aktion a long time before these copy cats.

#8 So are they going to reinstate that sheriff that said Antifa was starting the fires?

#9 I think Antifa/BLM is expecting to occupy space near the White House beginning in early Oct.

#11 It occurred to me the other day, that we have not had any mass shootings for quite awhile either. I wonder why that is?

#12 Communists always label themselves anti-fascist. The Berlin Wall was officially named the 'Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart', after all.

#13 AG Bill Barr slams Democrats for 'encouraging mob violence in US cities', says mail-in voting is 'corrupt' and laughs off the idea Trump would ever 'seize power and all that s***'

#14 The feds made over 120 arrests. That took care of most of the violent low lever perps. The others are either hiding or in other cities or on their way to Washington DC.

Bingo.

They're assessing their "lessons learned" and prepping for the next round.

Wait 'til we get closer to the election.

Especially now that kids are going back to school.

#17 Wouldn't you always do your war gaming on friendly territory?

Portland certainly was that, until it wasn't.

#18 Use that contact-tracing software on the people who've left Portland in the last couple of weeks.

Where are they now gathering? How and for how long do they meet up - recruiting sessions? Training sessions? Both?

Which handlers are they meeting? Do these people have military or intel agency backgrounds? Ditto for any foreign agents that are meeting with them.

What materiel are they buying? Whose money is funding their travels and purchases? Are these moneymen also funding Biden & ActBlue with dark money?

That program was phased out after Trump took office.

#20 I think #2, Nero, and #5, CrazyFool, are on the right track. Team Biden was worried the riots weren't polling well so they've stopped...just like that. It isn't proof positive that the riots are sponsored by Democrats but it is most certainly suspicious.

And now they get to blame the fires on "climate arsonist" Trump. Suspicious indeed.

#21 The riots were not cheap, and that kind of money demands results. At some point the incremental benefit of each day of rioting did not justify the cost in dollars and damage to the program (i.e. arrests, exposing leadership and funding sources, etc.).

#24 #20 Agree completely Abu. Except, I'd replace "Democrats" with "Chinese"*.

*Poor Xi, if only they'd provided him with half-normal candidate.

#25 All the demoncrats had to do was present a candidate that seemed normal, talked about kitchen table issues and have everyone else not be crazy.

They couldn't even muster one of those.

#26 They've all headed east -- some of them stopped in Kenosha for a couple days, some may still be there thanks to carrying illegal fireworks and raising the suspicion of local citizens. The rest are going to DC for the White House "siege".
