It's amazing the mayor, the city council and the police all knew this was happening. You know what their plan was? This: https://twitter.com/PDXzane/status/1429610237611286535?s=20
Or, other people were over the top about Trump curtailing press freedom. That could also be the point.
Hmm...
The guy wearing a homemade "I hate the left N Racism" vest at 44 seconds is part of the "radical left"? Or, were those guys the good guys from the right fighting back?
Are we already living in a dictatorship was not me. Do I think Trump has dictator aspirations? Again, yes. I've said it multiple times that the Constitution and brave souls prevented him from doing just that. Generals that sought not their own power. Politicians that fought bravely against their own interests, like Cheney and Pence, even.Coulda' swore someone started a thread about America turning into a dictatorship under Trump.
I'm sure it was a Trump supporter.![]()
A virtual town hall conference to "choose love" LOLNo, what was the plan?
All of it.
There is documented footage that says otherwise.Footage shows men in pickup trucks taking part in a pro-Trump procession driving into a crowd of protesters in Portland, Oregon. They fire paintballs and pepper spray as demonstrators throw objects at the convoy. The caravan of Trump supporters drove as a group into the centre of Portland, prompting protesters to block streets and bridges in an attempt to stop them. It was the third Saturday in a row that Trump supporters have rallied in the city.
Not sure what ur looking at but they were driving on a street and a bunch morons tried to physically stop a truck. Get out of the road.There is documented footage that says otherwise.

Completely agree about the mayor. He's the worst.

My problem is other than the few people wearing "press" on their clothing and assuming that was the case, I have no idea who is who and who was doing what when whoever responded in those two videos. That it was a nightmare for those poor folks just driving to wherever they were going is about all I can take away from those videos. Even if I accept the text accompanying them I still have no idea who particularly is being "exposed" by the video.?? They all should be exposed. Serious Question and I don`t know the awswer. Would the march have been peaceful if Antifa did not show up?
Last I checked Antifa is not nor ever has been President of the USA. So the false equivalency argument failed.
Yes, this is the reply that all the party hacks were looking for. Good job, party hack.Last I checked Antifa is not nor ever has been President of the USA. So the false equivalency argument failed.
As far as I can tell, the anarchists in Portland and Seattle that are being labeled as antifa (whatever that's supposed to be) have been around for a long time, and were responsible for the WTO riots in 1999. They're a bunch of thugs that come out of the woodwork and instigate crowds, break windows and start fires anytime there is a protest of any significance. It's the same people each time. Now they've dubbed themselves the Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front, but it's the same group.I don't follow them because i don't want to fill valuable space in mind with that kind of garbage personally but i always though they were a little more anarchists.
