I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

This is absolutely the right approach. The optics for the administration are TERRIBLE if these are the “terrorists.” And even if someone dressed like this unfortunately does something wrong, it will still make the administration’s crying about it look weak.

Ugh, and I was so full of relative hope then. If you recall, it was merely one month before the election. 😔

One thing video games have taught me is that any boss can come back again no matter what. 😁

Ugh… I never even finished Other M. I had the infamous glitch and had to start over and then had the glitch again in the same spot. I was done.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.
