Ah yes, the girlfriend of the founder of the 93 year old German movement, who lives in Portland.

I voted for her. I just don’t cast judgement on those who for moral reasons did not, nor do I pretend it’s their fault she lost. You guys have no argument and nothing to say anymore about how hard dems have failed us except lesser of two evils, and it’s so played out now it’s almost comical.

I think they do grasp that, they just dont care. That’s why the only rebuttal they have and use for literally everything is “but other guy worse”.

Like no wonder they think everywhere is a hellhole when they choose to surround themselves with mediocre food and poor company.

Apropos of nothing, Sec. Kristi Noem is currently praying over Burgerville with Portland ICE officials.

A screenshot of a video of Noem praying at a conference table with other people wearing suits. Fast food bags and water bottles sit on the table.

AI generated memes will never be a hastily or poorly done photoshop and i think that’s a huge loss to the genre.

Huntrix being on the top charts means i finally like hearing something playing in the grocery store. I finally like what the rude person who doesn’t wear earbuds is blasting from their phone. Is this what it’s like to be normal?

This didn’t just happen, it happened days ago, and your other footage with the banner is from yesterday, not this morning.

What if, hear me out, we’ve done this several times already and now we’re here anyway. Maybe, hear me out, offering nothing but the lesser of two evils every single election forever and expecting to win every one of those elections is not sustainable.

Mfw digging downtown Portland’s grave.

In what would immediately be felt as a huge policy blunder, Portland mayor Ted Wheeler ceremonially shovels dirt at the “groundbreaking” of a pointless hotel he approved at the command of his handlers, obliterating dozens of longtime local small businesses at the site that had formed the core of downtown culture.
