Oh cool. Our president lacks any form of humility or introspection.

Why are my tax dollars being used in this manner?

Yes, that is what they are trying to do.

It’s straight up treason.

My dad was in the military, but I never heard the sorts of things from him that I do now. He has started saying the N word to try to get a rise out of me, thinks Trump is going to “fix” everything, and every time I talk to him on the phone, I can hear fascist talk radio in the background.

We have learned not to bring up politics with each other. The last time I challenged him on it, he said I was being disrespectful, but I don’t accept that. He just thought I was supposed to sit quietly and listen to crazy ranting.

I have learned that in general it’s best to change the subject if someone wants to talk politics who I know I don’t agree with. Most people have gotten the point. We still get along great! We just have polar opposite politics.

Now I know that some people would question why I remain friendly with those people. The answer is that we have more in common than not. Someday, when everyone finally comes to the conclusion that the powerful and foreign are manipulating our political discourse to sow discord, we will finally be at peace again.

The viewers capable of critical thought (admittedly the probability is low) will hopefully see through it. They’re not getting their Pearl Harbor moment in Portland.

Likewise. Keep trying, comrade.

People should definitely watch his interactions with his wife as well. They’re fucking creepy.

You aren’t going to do shit, so don’t try to provoke others into doing shit.

The very best thing Portland can do is leave them be. Let them stand around aimlessly. Taking the bait and engaging with them will only provide the Fox News crowd with validation. It will further trump’s goal of drawing the us into civil war so he can truly become king.

Don’t take the bait, PDX!

He is trying to incite a civil war. Russian psyops are working with him on this.

Nightmares.

Truly, if you’re feeling miserable and even suicidal - I know this sounds cliche, but please try going for a walk outside, ideally in a wooded area.

I understand this sounds like “touch grass”, but seriously, try it out.

I haven’t done it myself, but I watch a lot of YouTubers who build off grid with solar power as part of their setup. I’ve found they are a great source of practical knowledge representative of real world performance and challenges.

I will agree with you that the way solar generation for residences is sold is scammy and predatory. This tactics and business models have given it a bad name. However, buying your own setup and installing it? Great technology, 11/10.

I seriously doubt it. Looks like the teacher pay is one of the lowest in the nation, they put Trump bibles in classrooms, and their state superintendent seems like he cares most about showing up on trump’s radar. Looks like they’re ranked bottom 5 in the nation depending on which stats you look at.

Doesn’t take a whole lot of time for Putin to coach him on what to do and say. If he falls out of line, the kompromat flows.

Just a little test run.

She’s upset about how Republican men treat women?

Lmmfao. Is she serious? The whole party loves misogyny and is innately against the sort of progressivism that women’s lib hinged on.

Fundamentalism and patriarchy are kinda their thing, Marge.

Right? Why do we have to pretend that everything leading up to this has been normal?
