I expect that this will be yet another stupid distraction, but it's very wise of Portland to take it seriously - and we should take it seriously as well. It should be a topic of questioning in the mayoral debate. What will be the game plan for resistance and protection?

Thanks for the Update, @tS!

@1 - You nailed it. Portland has become a quite unhappy place over recent years, ravaged is an apt description - but not war ravaged. So unconstitutional and illegal.

Oh Phoebe dear, don't be such a drip. What do you know about Portland?

@1 I seriously doubt the mayor can do much of anything once that train has left the station. The best thing they can do is not give the Feds an excuse to come here. Seeing all the posts on social media this weekend insisting Portland is some idyllic place is equally disingenuous. They should have enforced the rules about noise all night and prosecuted protestors who crossed the line. Trump is wrong to escalate the situation for or purposes but the city gov was equally wrong for letting it fester.

You’ve lost my vote, district dear. This is no time for milquetoast pantywaists.

@4: As much as you know about Seattle, apparently. Portland used to be far more hip. Remember Darcell? Remember Hamburger Marys? They still have there antique shows.

But if it makes you feel any better, Seattle does have a ravaged ambiance, since that seems to suit you.

Seattle's

Will Harrell capitulate
Will Wilson Kick Ass & Take names?

will Dems in

will Dems Shut the Gov't Down?

or try and get us
Better Healthcare?

@6 fair enough. What do you think should happen in Portland? I’m thinking of the low income residents across the street who say they can’t sleep and are being harassed.

@6: This is no time for milquetoast pantywaists.
So now the cuck is tough guy, too funny. Gonna go attack the capitol too? You are a fraud.

Speaking-up dear, why so peevish and brusque? Your intemperate outburst points to an emotional fragility that is borderline neurotic. Let go and let God!

@10: lol settle down before someone calls you a cuck for ICE which of course would be an equally absurd thing to say.

Protesting ICE won’t accomplish anything; in downtown Seattle, protestors blocked traffic (myself included) years ago without success. All it does now is give Trump yet another issue upon which to posture. He doesn’t need the help.

No matter how abusively they do it, ICE enforces the law. We can and should speak out against the abuses, and contribute money so victims of the abuses can sue, but in the end we need to change our laws. Only that can prevent future enforcements.

Right now, we have Trump keeping a promise he made to his base, and liberal cities ineffectually protesting. Not a good look for us.

@13: We don't need to change laws to accommodate the Trump Administration's law breaking, and protests need not be effectual to have a good look.

Raindrop dear (oops, sorry Phoebe) your misty water-colored memories of Portland are your own personal nostalgia. And as we both know, when all one is looking for is trouble, that’s all one will find.

@15: So snarky and bitter, even after I gave you kudos for @1. Your nerves are frayed, so I understand.

@12: cuck has a lot of definitions, just sayin'

Phoebe dear, you must strive to not read your emotions into my posts. It makes you look churlish.

@14: Read harder next time. I wrote we should change our laws to prevent future abusive enforcements, NOT to accommodate currently abusive enforcements.

“…protests need not be effectual to have a good look.”

Trump gets to crow to the MAGA crowd that he’s both kept his promise and owned the libs. Please do tell us all about the silver lining.

@19: What laws do you suggest for things that are already unconstitutional? The silver lining is that Trump is an aberration.

Cadet Bonespurs calling Portland
"War Ravaged" is a prediction
and a Promise and a
Distraction from

If it gives you the drama crave and bolsters your narrative, let the show begin!

Coolidge dear, when it comes to MAGA, I think it's more like the Afternoon of the Erectile Dysfunction, followed by the early bird dinner special at Denny's, and bed at eight.

The leftists in Portland were certainly lined up for war on Sunday....

Oh wait no. They were all just in line for overpriced brunch to soak up their hangover from the night spent drinking White Claws and eating tater tots at a queer owned pinball bar.

So scary! Run everyone! They're coming!

District dear, I would expect a successful candidate to address at the very least the following issues:

Plan B in the event of curtailment of federal grants for transportation, housing, energy, etc.
Plan for the protection of the city's Race and Social Justice Program
Protection of customer data in city systems (utility bills, business licenses, etc)

The county should have its own plan ready for King County Housing Authority and similar programs, and Seattle Public Schools should be looking at protecting students' and parents' privacy and protection at school.

tensorna advises, to paraphrase a classic: when Constitutional violations are inevitable, lie back and enjoy it!

@17: lol it certainly has become the little black dress of insults hasn't it?
