    The pics in Oregonian site look like normal protest with a few Portland touches (blowing bubbles, tiara and magic wand, other nonlethal props).

    We should rename a bridge after Trump for cool photo ops like this.

    That used to be our team hotel in Chi-Town for about 10 years until Trump was elected the first time. haven’t been back. Same as in NYC….then he sold it and we returned! The one in this tweet, we were staying there….woke up on a beautiful St. Patricks Day morning and looked at twitter and saw they had fried Nate/ Traded Camby and sent Wallace to Brooklyn for Damian Lillard. Coach Canales led us to a huge victory the next night against the Bulls! #BAM

    I think frying Nate is illegal.

    Props to Gov Tina....
    "Amid the uncertainty of when, exactly, troops will be deployed — if at all — and what they will do, Kotek asked Oregonians to support each other, remain calm, and remember that the members of the National Guard are their fellow Oregonians who also deploy to fight wildfires, fortify flooding rivers and engage in international peacekeeping."



    “They are our neighbors and friends,” Kotek said. “They are citizen soldiers who have day jobs.”



    Kotek urged people to continue to peacefully protest but not break the law.



    “Let’s say to each other: We, as Oregonians, support each other, even though we have a lot of chaos and unpredictability that we don’t deserve,” Kotek said. “And, as your governor, I’m going to stand with you.”

    Trump said today "the liberal governor" said troops not needed but Portland looks like World War II. It's burning to the ground.

    Bet he has no idea the name of "the liberal governor".

    Widely speculated that they're looking to provoke responses to their intrusions to justify declaring martial law and suspend the midterm elections. Recall the BLM protests, far right instigators (umbrella man, Bugaloo Bois) will provide those responses
