I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This is proof that no one else would serve them.

Jojo’s, Killer Burger, Monster Smash, Lardo, there are so many better options than the dry overpriced patties at f’ing Burgerville.

Clowns.

They are praying over Burgerville.

If you want to make a Sam Adams Vibe at home, here’s the recipe:

1 Part: Beer
1 Part: Fuck You, Make Me

Served in a frog suit.

Red hats are apparently the new redcoats.

And Portland, despite being small and thoroughly unimportant on a national scale, is apparently the new Boston.

But hey, at least we’ve all got that Sam Adams vibe.

I think that’s ultimately where we are headed.

Zee disagrees, but I’m guessing that over the next six or so years we are going to devolve into a sort of East and West Roman Empire situation.

There’s just no coming back from this.

“Holy Mary, please protect us from that guy in a frog suit. He waggled his fingers at us. It was terrifying.”

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is in Portland meeting with ICE, Border Patrol and DHS officials; Nick Sortor posted video of Noem saying a prayer for the safety of their officers at the start of the meeting.

Undercover operations always begin with “BREAKING” announcements on Twitter.

So he’s dealing with a very real danger and is definitely not doing theater.

Draw on your own experience:

Is there any situation you've ever been part of, with you or anyone else in the hot seat, in which a person who does NOT have something to hide, reacts the way Bondi does?

I've been on trial juries that concluded "we can't trust that witness," after evasions like this

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

For Heritage and Thiel? Sure.

But Trump is different. Trump just cares about what’s good for Trump. And the only thing he (personally) gets from declaring war on a guy in a frog suit is that it might distract the red hats from Epstein. Maybe.

Oh, I think that's what Epstein's handlers care about.

But his handlers aren't sitting in the oval office.

The world's most self obsessed man is.

They're clearly trying to provoke an escalation, and I wouldn't put it past them to create one if it doesn't happen.

They've been very open about wanting to occupy cities and purge them of democrats aka "the enemy within."

I don't think it'll work long term, but it's definitely their plan.

The British History Podcast @thebhp.bsky.social · 1d

This has nothing to do with safety, and very little to do with Portland.

This all about an old man trying to distract his base with some greatest hits in order to avoid the Epstein files.

This is ALL about the Epstein files.

Jokes aside, she's coming here with a bunch of conservative bloggers to sell you on the idea that they should be allowed to declare war on us.

They don't care that Portland is already safe.

They just want war.

They're sharing decades old images from South America and claiming it's Portland FFS.

DHS Secretary Noem is coming to Portland today because our city is "overrun with terrorists."

I mean, just look at all of these people running for their lives last Sunday!

Truly a dystopic nightmare.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

If they swear in Grijalva, we have to votes to release the Epstein Files.

And I guess the entire GOP is in there, because they’re shutting down government to avoid releasing them.
