Faux has been telling viewers for years that blue Portland is consumed by violence, fires, etc. His worshipers will eat it up that he’s “taking control.” Evidence? I have a Faux-viewing relative who has regurgitated this talking point for a long time.

Tie dye t-shirts, shorts, the color of which determines your rank and flip flops. Winter uniforms are tie dyed sweatshirts, jeans with the required rip in the knee and converse sneakers, the color of which determines your rank. Headgear will be garlands for women and bandanas for men.

Just as his komrade Putin taught him to do.

The problem there is a uniformed officer might put a halt to it because it’s just too silly.

We need one to do that to Trumpy.

The Cascade peaks are out in their glory. Kayakers enjoying the Willamette River. Families riding bicycles at Waterfront Park. Dozens of volunteers attacking ivy and blackberries in Mt. Tabor Park. Urban hikers on the 26 mile Wildwood Trail in Forest Park (in the city). Friends standing with their coffee on the sidewalk waiting for a table to open up at their favorite breakfast hangout. Food carts hustling to get burritos and crepes out the door. Fans gathering to watch the Ducks game or going downtown on light rail to see the Timbers.

Yeah...My city feels just like a war zone.

RESIST THE INVASION. MAKE GOOD TROUBLE....NON-VIOLENTLY!

DON'T GIVE TRUMP THE EXCUSE TO START SHOOTING!

It is an absolutely gorgeous day in the Portland area today. We drove through Portland the other night as our grandson had a soccer game in Aloha. Portland looked just beautiful with the lights on the buildings and the beautiful bridges with everything reflected in the water of the Willamette. It makes me sick about what Trump is intending to do. We went up to Seattle for a Mariners game two weeks ago. Between the Sounders and the Mariners playing at the same time, downtown Seattle was filled with happy people. It was not a warzone up there either. Trump needs to keep his hate and destruction out of the Pacific Northwest.

Justice matters.

It's been his dream to be a war president. Declaring war on the United States is one way to do it --- and distract from the Epstein files.

Worked in as a Federal, Corporate and academic/research forester for many years and now many years ago. Worked out of office on Pioneer Square for 7 years (87-93) and then Corvallis (94-98).

Had, no longer use, a Facebook account as 99% observer and seldom poster.

One group followed was about logging history.

During the fires that burned Talent Oregon several years ago a majority of participants were up in arms saying Antifa was starting the fires. There is a big overlap among loggers of people that are vets and/or have guns. They were organizing an armed group to go armed to fight the Antifa starting the fires. There was another group of posters telling the whackos they were whackos. The group temporarily shut down and then re-opened several days later. Pegged to the top, was a message from the administrators saying the group could not be used that way, organizing an armed militia basically. Also that there had been mass bans. The posters that were banned were the strong voices that had argued against the whackos and told them they were ridiculous.

This is the mindset and a general mindset of many outside of blue areas in general.
