What a slap in the face to the people of Portland!

Virginia Cohen's avatar

One hundred percent, thank you.

Teresa  Gaut's avatar

I was born in Portland . I lived in Longview growing up . It’s a great place !

Carole Langston's avatar

My sister loved it there.

Bonny Becker's avatar

Let's see some film of war-ravaged Portland.

Teresa  Gaut's avatar

Pretty sure miller showed him a AI video and he believed or believes that crap .

Here is some "film" of the Portland, Oregon downtown summer walk in August 2025 - in case you've never seen Portland...

Bonny Becker's avatar

Thank you. Quite the hellscape.

Geoffrey Fox's avatar

How about the wars he was going to end on the first day in office? Yeah I believe man6minnocents continue,to die because of him.

Wiss's avatar

Some republican news channel was showing videos of Portland from 5 years ago

Hilary Nally's avatar

Exactly. How many times can you see the one dumpster fire and not realize that you're seeing the same thing over and over again??

Carole Langston's avatar

Faux Fox will manufacture videos. Piecing them from old, old footage.

Barb O's avatar

There are numerous FB posts showing the "war ravaged" town of Portland that are having a field day of making fun of the military invasion. Makes me want to go live in "hell."

Bluesmurf's avatar

There are numerous Substack posts as well... It's hilarious. Sounds like a fun place to visit.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ... especially that "Voodoo Donuts"

Barb O's avatar

People stand in line for an hour to get them. I, wisely, went on a Sunday morning during my visit there, when people are still hung over in bed from Saturday. No line, short wait. Huge donuts. I shared with a homeless man.

I’m in Portland. No need for Trump and his cronies and lies.

Use/share this spreadsheet (bit.ly/Goodtrouble) as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to those in your own state, and those in a committee that fits your topic. Call. Write. Email. Protest. Unrelentingly. We deserve better ❤️‍🩹🤍💙

Virginia Cohen's avatar

Same ➕ agreed. 🚫 Bullies

202 225 3121 or 202 225 3121

Will reach any senator or representative, any state! Start with states that have trump ass kissers!

And tell the Nobel committee that a 34 count convicted felon n convicted sexual predator are not worthy of such a prestigious award!

Pass along the numbers n link to Nobel.

He has never brought peace he only incites violence.

Megan Rothery's avatar

Yeah, that number is great but flooding direct office lines also impact areas and if they’re hearing from all sides, that means more. Plus I call those that don’t represent me after hours so I can leave a message and say (at the end) while I might not be a constituent, issues are bigger sometimes than being one (i.e Epstein files, genocide and gun violence)

Geoffrey Fox's avatar

Also send emails. I have been doing both. FYI…Supreme Court you have to send a letter.

Megan Rothery's avatar

Yes, I send a lot of email rounds to all Senators, pick and choose house reps based on them needing a good kick or a thank you. I have contact information for the Supreme Court on the spreadsheet too. There is a contact webpage like an email, phone number and address for a letter

Geoffrey Fox's avatar

Thank you,Connie. Desperate times call for desperate measures.Never have I witnessed such criminality in our government. At 73 the worst was Nixon and he was an angel compared to this.

Frances Ferguson's avatar

I’m in SF! I will call and help! Total BS!

I hope you fare better than Chicago. They are blocking emergency vehicles with fencing around their facility and they are beating innocent citizens. Since many are Jan 6 insurrectionists no surprise. Not sure about Portland but here they are running ICE ads for help with a 50,000 signing bonus on the nightly major networks. Particularly ABC.

Barb O's avatar

The Bridgeview FD ordered those fences to be taken down because of safety issues. And, to take down the boards covering the windows. Against ordinance. I wonder if they did.

Martha Lorantos's avatar

Why Portland right now?

Sen. Wyden (OR) has been investigating Epstein’s $$ network 3+ yrs. On 9/9 he introduced the 'Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act', a bill to compel Sec. Bessent to release ALL of Epstein’s suspicious $$ activity reports to the Senate.

Jane's avatar

Now we get it! That's the deal -- trump is always hustling always!

Dancset's avatar

Now it makes sense, or as much as anything he does ever will. As usual, all about Epstein. Still don't know why some brave soul at FBI hasn't leaked more of it.

Jane's avatar

I am hopefully awaiting that brave soul who lets all that info out into the public! Fingers crossed!

Martha Kenne's avatar

Gosh...are there even any brave souls left? 😬

Geoffrey Fox's avatar

Somewhere, when we least expect it

Fraser's avatar

No brave souls left at FBI-they left in disgust!!

Fraser's avatar

Yup! And a cheap hustle at that!!

Renee Goodman's avatar

Thank you Senator Wyden! Everything the Dumpster has done and is doing is to stop the Epstein files getting out because his name is in them and he will be Impeached along with any of the sycophants in office!! That’s why Johnson put a hold on Confirming the new Dem to get the 218 votes to have them released!!

Connie Larsen's avatar

Call mikey Johnson n tell him to swear her in NOW. Then keep calling any representative or senator! Especially, trump ass kissers.

202 225 3221 or 202 224 3121 will reach any senator or representative, any state!

Then tell the Nobel committee they can’t give it to a 34 count convicted felon or convicted sexual predator! It will ruin the worthiness of the award.

https://www.nobelprize.org/contact

Just do it!

Connie Larsen's avatar

202 225 3121 or 202 224 3121

OOPS

Geoffrey Fox's avatar

Which I cannot believe is even being allowed.

C Bowlby's avatar

Oh rumpies lil evasive cowardly attempt to punish people who don't agree with him. This us a sign of cowardly lack of self-control, self-confidence, and could be rumpies way of compensating for illegal activities!

Bluesmurf's avatar

Also, I read that Oregon was going to revoke ICE's permit to operate in Portland for Permit violations - Oregon is big on following "land use" regulations and laws.

"Portland threatens to evict Ice from Oregon facility over permit violations" - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/24/ice-illegally-detaining-immigrants-portland-oregon

We love Senator Wyden. He's the real deal.

Connie Larsen's avatar

🙋‍♀️Like your senators almost as much as I like mine! Patty n Maria!!!!!🔷🇺🇸💪

Nancy Ramsay's avatar

I’m proud to be a life long Oregonian with 50 years in Portland. I agree that we are lucky to have two great senators and AG Dan Rayfield (recently elected) is a great addition!

Oh you will love it! And we we will love to have you!!

Geoffrey Fox's avatar

We have Senator Tammy Duckworth who is spectacular, former vet, injured and STRONG AND INTELLIGENT. Senator Durban was good but too old.

Nancy Christine's avatar

I live here in Peaceful Portland. If anything erupts…it will be MAGA or tRump goons fomenting trouble.

Sandra Blessman's avatar

Thanks Oregon this is how you fight back. No nonsense just facts and some strong action. Good for you. Well done

Bluesmurf's avatar

and a whole lot of "mocking!" The pictures, the satire, it's all making fun of and mocking the current corrupt government in DC. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cheeto: The Empty Blowhard

Finally a journalist is willing to call Cheeto out for what he is…an empty shell that has a lot of hot air, vindictive rhetoric, but no follow through Like his tariff announcements, nothing but TACO

Karen Tumulty at WaPo(https://bit.ly/4nNFh0E) lays out the lack of philosophy, strategy, and policy that Cheeto consistently portrays while shouting his braggard claims about fictional accomplishments In essence nothing but a fraud and liar

And when he does lay out going after his “enemies” it’s for all the wrong reasons Cheeto is an empty smelly blowhard bully who deserves nothing but laughter What a national disgrace on both the domestic as well as world stage A demented looney tunes!!

Steve Doll's avatar

And that goes for his enablers as well. A mean, nasty crowd, one and all.

Pat Robinson's avatar

I have to wonder if Ms. Tumulty will still have a job....WaPo is no longer a truth teller but now claims to be the "riviting storytelling for all of America"....I think the emphasis is on storytelling, not truth telling. Sort of like the tabloid magazines at the checkout line in grocery stores.

Fraser's avatar

Yup! Probably where she gets her lines!!

Anne's avatar

I go to Portland on a pretty regular basis. I have never thought that it needed any landscaping.

C Bowlby's avatar

This adult citizen from a neighboring state stands with

Oregon, standing up against our crooked wormy dictator rump!

Bluesmurf's avatar

Someone suggested that Portlanders should hand out garbage sacks, pick up tools, rakes, and other landscaping paraphernalia and fluorescent vests upon arrival and thank them for cleaning up the streets and parks - although from all the pictures I've seen, Portlanders do a pretty good job of that without any help 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - but hey - maybe sweeping the streets would add that extra layer of cleanliness - Oh, oops, I hear they do that too!

Virginia Cohen's avatar

Portland resident, it’s beautiful here, far from war torn. These are flat out lies, as usual. Bullies keep out 🚫🛑

Linda Donahue's avatar

Well, enjoy the rain in Portland! Probably starts tomorrow and be here most of the week.

Lisa's avatar

I was just in Portland in June and it is a beautiful city, and I did not feel in any way unsafe walking through it by myself! The people were super friendly, and as I said, it was beautiful!

P Weisbeck's avatar

Epstein files please.

Susan Paulo's avatar

Sending the military into Portland will only score political points with the same MAGAts that are part of the J6 insurrection. Is he trying to again redirect attention from a possible government shutdown and the Epstein files?

Bluesmurf's avatar

And what all these MAGAs don't seem to see through the fog brain that has been perpetually keeping them in the dark is that if the cities fall, they are next. They may be having fun laughing it up that the "libs" are all "getting theirs," but if all the libs fail in stopping all this, then they are next. They are just too stupid to see it coming - no way dingfritz and his army of cultist loyalists are going to let the 2nd Amenders keep their guns against a tyrannical government... too bad they do not see that the tyranny is here and that they are all OK with it as long is they can "own the libs!"

Jill Davis's avatar

Los Angelos, D.C., Chicago....all of them were "war ravaged" and there were no issues until troops showed up.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I'm in Chicago right now. This afternoon I saw thousands of people of all ages gathered to listen to jazz, patronize food trucks and shop handmade vendors. The kids were getting face paint. Dogs were frolicking on the lawn.

Ken Webster's avatar

Great turnout at the waterfront this afternoon for a spirited No Troops march, with Governor Kotek and Mayor Wilson, and a few thousand of my Portland neighbors. Peaceful, joyful resistance.

Old Reprobate's avatar

It's purpose is to normalize Fascist Insurrection.
