Sen. Ron Wyden: Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

There needs to be a stronger word than "embarrassed" or "We're so sorry" as we interact with the rest of the world.

All out attack. The horror. Makes J6 look like a Sunday morning mosh pit to Christian music at a rural Kentucky independent Lutheran church. With Lee Greenwood singing lead.

I am glad that Wyden is on it. Facts should still matter, and someone needs to shoot these lies down if the press won't do it. Thank you, Sen. Wyden.

boondoggle, merely a stop sign, just cracks me up.


And what was with the fishing poles being waved at our very own brownshirts?

Funny he sees Antifa, but starving and mutilated children are invisible. And he doesn't see MAGA as the violent threat it is.
Antifa is his very own HOAX. Or they're so fucking good that they've never been seen.
Usually when someone loses their shit over shadows they need to have their meds updated.
He's presiding over the beginning of the decline of our power and influence. Hopefully he's still alive to be held accountable in the most awful way possible.
Maybe Epstein has an Island in Hell.

Portland protested in 2020. He must think the people in the Portland streets then made him look bad (not hard to do), so he’s coming after them now.

He has no principles or deeply-held beliefs because he is a pathological narcissist with severe cognitive impairment. He just acts out on a stage he imagines in his diseased mind. His UN "speech" said it all.
