    It’s so fucking wild that propaganda is so powerful that a so-called “president” could watch shit from five years ago and think that a city needs to be invaded by its own country as a consequence to supposedly solve something.

    For what? Have these assholes been to Portland? It is a vibrant fascinating city that takes isolated angry people and interjects them into a context and culture, how can you look at Portland and feel disgust or fear?

    Expect this to eventually end up on John Roberts’ desk, and the corrupt SCOTUS to issue yet another shadow docket ruling to rubber stamp Trump’s unconstitutional shit.

    Harlan Crow might need to buy Clarence Thomas another Winnebago though: Trump is keeping those fuckers busy, and nobody works for free.

      Thomas: Why do I need two Winnebagos? I can’t drive both of them at once.

      Crow: You just drive the first one to where you need it, then drive back and pick up the second one.

      Thomas: This is exactly as sound logic as I use in my judicial opinions, so we have a deal.

    I’m thrilled that there’s some sort of government pushback, but I did think that “emergency naked bike ride” was absolutely the best Portland response ever. Keep on keepin’ on you glorious weirdos!

    Demented old Grandpa thinks that Portland is “burning to the ground” and “insurrections are all over the place”.

    I want to see one Intrepid Reporter ™ ask this dipshit or one of his spokesbot to list one location where this is supposedly happening. Coordinates. Street intersections.

    Where the fuck is this supposedly happening? Can someone ask Orange Jesus where? Just one location. One fucking example.

    I talked to a friend who was relieved this happened, and I was like “give it 24 hours.” They got super upset because I was destroying their moment of happiness—and then 24 hours later troops were deployed and I was right.

    Not a single one of you are ever going to have another moment of happiness while this regime is in power, and you need to start waking up.

    So all it took was targeting a city with a white mayor for the judicial system to see a problem with it.

      No, Oregon’s been preparing for this since the last time Trump sent his unmarked goons here in 2020. Gov Kotek has been working on this for a while, and had everything ready for when he announced he was sending troops in.
