Jon Stewart - “Did I miss Vancouver attacking Portland in a fierce battle of mellow artisans? Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their cold foam half-calf latte art!” Humiliating Trump is so fun. Not only Trump, but Fox News looks like fools. This is a win win for Portland in so many ways!

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

There are things to be learned from the 2024 election and Donald Trump's presidency and there are things Trump does very well. He is getting things done, they are appalling things, but he is getting them done. If Trump can get all these appaling things done, why can't Democrats get stuff done?
