How is voting for a guy who already had a disastrous administration & a failed coup attempt “trying something different?” At least be honest & admit that you sacrificed your neighbors & brought ruin on this country b/c you didn’t want to vote for the infinitely more qualified & capable Black woman

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. …We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end.” - George Orwell, 1984

The league’s strategy of allowing visiting teams to bring their own officiating crews to Providence Park certainly makes things more interesting #BAONPDX

Two points from four home games—three against non-playoff teams—at the business end of the season is the kind of performance that should prompt very, very serious questions about the manager’s continued employment #BAONPDX

"The Cornell case shows, though, that the #MeToo movement didn’t go far enough. ... alleged victims still face far more serious consequences than their accused assailants, and for many people and institutions, it still feels much easier to make the issue go away by suppressing accusations"
