Anyone else disgusted at Portland's mayor and city council?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow So read the huffing and puffington post, if it amuses you

@sunsporter1649 No. Unlike you I don't copy/paste propaganda.

@sunsporter1649 You’re repeating yourself verbatim [i]yet again[/i] 🤡

Get some new material and make sure you go to your next physical. I hear the last five questions they ask are a [i]doozy[/i].

Go ahead and take the last word, I’m off to bed. I guarantee you’ll have already said it and it still won’t be true.

@TiffAching So long as it's those in the opposition getting killed it's fine, no? 🤷‍♂️ It's literally how Fascism started here.

@Elessar LOL, how many have been killed?

@sunsporter1649 Oh look who’s waddling back into things after hiding for two days.

🤡

The issue isn’t whether DHS goons have killed anyone in Portland, it’s that [i]you want them to[/i].

Edit: Enjoy the block and thank you for reminding me to do that. You were amusing enough to dunk on for a bit, but I do draw the line at death threats.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow "The chief clause of the Insurrection Act, in its original 1807 verbiage (which has been thoroughly updated since to reflect modern legalese), reads:[6]

An Act authorizing the employment of the land and naval forces of the United States, in cases of insurrections Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in all cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws, either of the United States, or of any individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect."

@sunsporter1649 Clearly you can't read because the president creating his own personal ad hoc paramilitary militia is nowhere to be found in the entire document. But we both know you don't actually care about legality.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow LOL, the Department of Homeland Security is now President Trump's personal gestapo! You guys really crack me up

@Northwest Yeah. Maybe. :)

@graphite [quote]I don't live there [/quote]

But you can judge the Mayor's performance? I wonder how you arrived at your conclusion?

@graphite Lmao yeah, Portland totally doesn’t have a long history of protest and civil disobedience. And just how many bystanders were injured by the protesters there?

@curiosi i posted about that, then saw you did too.
I don't know why the people don't do it.

@luctoretemergo You think the mayor doesn’t have any real ownership of his community?

@QuixoticSoul See if he sticks around after he's out of office. Quite often they leave after they're off the gravy train!

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well it’s nice to see you admitting you’re not intelligent🤣 good job

@TakingBackMidgaard He's trying - after all he is currently enrolled in online HS courses so he can get that GED -

@MarmeeMarch It takes a while for things to happen in the Yukon....lol

@BobGrant45 [quote]LOLOL. More foolish assumptions from another who only recites CNN talking points.[/quote]

CNN talking points? And what would those be? is this the answer you regurgitate anytime you have no answer?

You said:

[quote]I avoid both of those shithole cities. Terrorist attacks, beatings, and murder just isn't my thing. Sorry about you.[/quote]

And I confirmed:

[quote]So you don't know shit about either city, but you feel qualified to render an expert opinion. Got it.[/quote]

So, let me state it again, it looks like you're regurgitating the shit Fox spoon fed you. If this is what Seattle is like, then why are people flocking to it? Why is the real state market so hot? Why do companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Costco call it home?

[quote]I was born, graduated high school, and graduated college in Seattle. Worked there for years. I know it quite well. I would not go back. Its all a shit hole now.[/quote]

And since you've left, Microsoft, Amazon, Costco, Fred Hutch and others moved in, but your departure accomplished one thing: helped improve life for the rest of us here.

You don't know shit about Seattle and you know even less about Portland.

@Northwest But you can find him popping out of the bushes at your local public park. You're debating greenbare.

@Keepitsimple [quote]allowing federal property to be destroyed[/quote]

Do you have any links to that? There's some graffiti outside the Federal building and that's all the Sec. of DHS can point to.

@Northwest that’s not enough?

@Keepitsimple [quote]that’s not enough?[/quote]

What exactly do you think is not enough?

The situation in Portland (and Seattle) is not as some like to portray it.

@TiffAching The police department in every US city, reports to the Mayor. Major cities usually add a layer. Portland has The Police Bureau and that reports to the Mayor. In Seattle, there are no additional layers and the Police Chief reports directly to the Mayor.

He must be doing something right, because Cheeto Benito is calling him a radical leftist but the radical left in Portland is attacking him. And of course the anarchists want anarchy.

On one of the nights of unrest, the extreme left of the city launched an attack against him because he was out of town. He was saying goodbye to his mother who passed away that night and has back in town the next day.

@Northwest

[quote] The police department in every US city, reports to the Mayor. Major cities usually add a layer.[/quote]

That’s a good point. Maybe I should have used some other phrasing, but I do prefer having it be someone other than the mayor [i]directly[/i] controlling the police.

I’m also with you on liking his very recent actions; if Trump’s goons are gassing you, you’re pissing off the right people at the very least. And “Trump: He’ll Gas the Mayor” is, if nothing else, a terrible PR look.

If Ted Wheeler continues to move in the direction he’s moving, and keeps moving there long enough, he’ll probably eventually build up enough goodwill that I’ll consider him a net good. He’s just got a lot of ground to make up for allowing all the [i]local[/i] police brutality earlier.

@Northwest

Holding back my urge to correct you.
Is that a no to my offer?

@Pikachu You just lied about what I said. Goodbye, I have nothing to add to this thread.

@Northwest

Ok.
I hope we'll meet on better terms next time🙂

@Budwick The Portland "leadership" has been an utter failure. Time for the adults - the Trump Admin - to step in and do the job that the local "leadership" refuses to do.

@MarmeeMarch Dude, I'm probably in twice as good shape as you are, although that might not be saying much.

@LeopoldBloom Now Now - I know it's the blood sugar drop - come on and have something to eat lardass - maybe 3 or 4 whole turkeys ? 5 gallons of soda ?

@LeopoldBloom Whats the matter fats - did I hurt your feelings ?

@Northwest Precisely.

@Northwest And I owe you one. I was trying to get blocked by that puke. I'd already done a post hoping for the same. I never block, but I'm not above inciting someone into blocking me.

Mistakenly opening a greenbare post(twice) is two too many times I've ruined my day.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It's true, you have the city of Portland which generates the majority of the state's revenue which then gets given out to keep the rural counties from being even more "walking dead"

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Actually, Oregon is a few very liberal cities, Portland, Salem, and Eugene, surrounded basically by Alabama. I lived in Oregon for most of the 2000s, both in a rural area and in Portland.

@LeopoldBloom Just saying a liberal redneck is generally an oxymoron. I mean I know of some left wing "rednecks" but they all seem to be actual leftists not Clinton type liberals.

@sunsporter1649 The point is that you’re a hilarious rube, and chimed it right on cue.

@QuixoticSoul Keep supporting the insurrection....coming soon to a city near you

@sunsporter1649 Keep being a lolcow.

@JAYS21 LOL, and she is moving out of the city, to the suburbs. Now I wonder what prompted that move?

@JAYS21 Or Tahiti

@Elessar 😂@ that comparison, #strawmanfail

@strongbow Yeah, very respectful of you to laugh at veterans that fought and died to keep your ass safe in democracy.

And as I expected you don't know what antifa(scism), and by extension fascism, mean. Not that I'm surprised, slogan-centered people tend to be like that.

@strongbow With greatness like this, who needs commonsense, justice, freedom and all those stupid leftist ideas,?😷
