Portlanders racing out of the city to escape rampaging Antifas, BLMers, and maybe even Hamasers?

Nope. Just the annual Portland marathon going on without a hitch.

I just watched a clip of Trump earlier today condemning the judge who put his militaristic plans for Portland on hold mixed in with the…[Read more]

Unseen,

The problem with blue cities with high crime rates existing in red states is that they are in red states with state governments that don’t feel like helping any part of the state which isn’t white and conservative.

But wait a minute, you just said before and almost in the same breath that Red States were the “ta…

 MAGA is certainly not limited government conservative.

Talk about logical contradictions. Why don’t you research deficit growth (especially relative to GDP) under old school Republican vs Dem administrations over the decades and then tell us why you fell for the “conservative” bullshit like so many others.

Conservative were never really for…[Read more]

And if anyone thinks “the army” is an answer to crime in a democracy and will somehow fix the root causes, well they are a fucking fascist. You won’t like “the fix”, you know. Saudi has a super low crime rate. It’s all too stooopid.

Robert, And you’ll notice from the Axios article linked above that the Southern States you mentioned have blue cities with high murder rates. So bipartisan bloodbaths anyone?

Those blue cities in red states are too small to swing the electoral college scam, especially with all the gerrymandering. But yeah, the whole red s…[Read more]

The states with the highest murder/crime rates year after year in the United States are MAGA central. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, New Mexico, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri. Their small rural towns have insanely high crime rates. Ever drive though rural Alabama? Shit shacks and moldy doublewides covered with MAGA flags. So…

BTW, we should all be concerned about this deep shift into fascism? (Does this make me Antifa, being anti-fascist?)

Go to her Youtube channel and browse through her videos looking for a pattern. I think you’ll see what I see.

Look, she does what a lot of right wingers do which is to provide a video to support an argument based on one instance without full context. Was there an assault before the assault? Were inflammatory words exchanged? Is this one episode…[Read more]

So they love Portland and Oregon…yet want to leave it for Europe, even if cities in Europe can be worse in terms of “no-go” zones created by adherents to The Religion of Peace and Compassion™ or disruption by various protest movements, or Value Added Taxes, or the presence of street and river pollution?

Under Portland’s old commission-style city government, we were governed by some fairly nutty no common sense commissioners who passed experimental laws like the one that made public drug use legal.

My brother, a sociologist by education, said “That’s among the nuttiest things I’ve ever heard. Don’t they know about the broken windows phenomenon?…[Read more]
