The unrest in Portland isn't comparable in this respect with what happened in DC, and any attempt to use it to contrast Trump and Biden, or tactics dealing with left versus right wing protests, is entirely spurious. This will be dealt with by civilian police, as you would expect in any democracy with a civilian government, unless and until it gets beyond their ability to control.

I do not know what you been reading but that is factually incorrect Chris.
Read here as to why there was National Guard delays on 6th Jan.

I also do not know how you can say that it cannot be compared, in Portland last year, and many other Democrat controlled cities, many many businesses were destroyed by the left and BLM activists, in DC none were.
The destruction and violence from the left is far far worse than what happened in DC. Yeah they got in to the Capitol building, yeah windows got smashed and offices ransacked but the building still stands because the perpetrators were eventually stopped, this cannot be said for the many businesses burned to the ground by lefty activists and when Trump wanted to send the National Guard in to stop the looting and burning, these Democrat **** governors would not seek his offer of help.
It is totally hypocritical for them now to claim Trump delayed the NG when they dithered and delayed allowing them in to their burning cities.
