"Donald Trump is the opposite of peace. He’s doing everything he can to destroy democracy and run our country into the ground. He doesn’t belong on a list of Nobel Peace Prize nominees. The only list he belongs on is the Epstein list."

Yup. I can see why Trump & Noem think Portland is a hell hole - for the same reasons that the rest of us are probably thinking “This is the sort of place where I want to live. A place where the government is on my side.”

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.

I hope this somehow sinks in in the Illinois farm belt. Trump does not care about you.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina, a main US competitor in the soybean market.

This is a move that will only further screw over American soybean farmers, who're being priced out of their own market.

A 90-second crash course in Trump's betrayal of American soy farmers

Here’s the geopolitical beans.

FOX--and Chicago's Police Chief-- report that the GOP militia goons tear-gassed 27 Chicago Police Officers. Trump is "helping" Chicago fight crime while forcing the City to deploy its cops to protect Chicagoans?

This is a massive waste and also a dangerous signal to people in the rest of the world.

The Trump Administration must not rebrand the Defense Department! Sign the #petition if you agree!

Sign Petition: Trump's 'War Department' Rebrand Isn't Just Stupid. It Could Also Cost Billions of Dollars.

For a man who claims to be obsessed with reducing unnecessary government spending (a la DOGE), Donald Trump sure knows how to find (28399 signatures on petition)

Somebody needs to arrest and indict the ICE agent that fired the pepper ball at the head of the pastor in Chicago. That was a despicable crime committed by a tiny, evil, hateful worthless asshole.

Unfortunately, John Roberts is creating a new Constitution and body of laws that only a dictator could love.
He doesn't care and can't wait to prove it.

I know these kinds of comparison are a little redundant now, but can you imagine how swift, insistent and relentless the calls for removal would be if Obama had done this? In this case of course, it’s not even worthy of a headline. Trump being trump.

Anyone remember that time where Biden and Mayor Pete were held personally responsible, by the right, for every train derailment that ever happened? Now not a peep for the president to appear? Kind of like it was just a massive foreign influence campaign hey?
