arguably one of the worst things about car dependent suburban sprawl is that it's a core reason (along with brick & mortar favored zoning laws and racism and classism and-) that the US doesn't have a street food culture like elsewhere in the world. i want more local street food delicacies damn it.

Portland has burned down three times just this week. Tragic.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Joshua he is only *allegedly* definitely guilty under our system of laws. Just because he is on camera shooting a guy dead and then was found carrying the gun he used to shoot the guy dead and had a notebook where he wrote about shooting a guy dead doesn’t mean he premeditatedly shot a guy dead.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."
