Ted Wheeler is an abject failure as Mayor of Portland, OR. Since he continues to allow Portland to become more and more lawless, he's only inviting more and more extreme factions to the city. I mean, if there are no seeming consequences, then WHY NOT COME AND CARRY ON THEIR DESTRUCTIVE WAYS?!! Stupid. Keep blaming Trump. Yeah, that's the ticket..... https://www.redstate.com/jenvanlaar...inally-addresses-shooting-goes-off-the-rails/ Portland Mayor Finally Addresses Murder of Trump Supporter; Goes on Unbelievable Rant Blaming Trump
Look it's proven that Trump makes it much worse. Now he's got lawsuits going against him for his stupid actions detaining people under force without reason and by not declaring what's going on in the arrests nor by who is doing the detaining so a proper lawsuit can be filed. The number of protestors has also swelled because of Trump's actions by an order of magnitude (approximately X10). Wheeler may be trying to defuse a tense situation by allowing minor transgressions. This might actually be dampening the situation somewhat. I'd like to see a proper analysis of the past 60 days by professionals in the field like psychologists and criminologists.
This tweet is fucking with my sense of reality. Trump's war on irony is never ending! But @THE HCP said it best earlier, and I'm paraphrasing: all these tweet are going to be in the archives. And there someday will be a book, collated and balancing the tweets and words with the real world news--like a People's History of the United States. And we will all someday read it, conservatives (after the poison leaves their systems, and they raise a flattened hand to the sun like what-the-fuck-just-happened-where-am-I) and liberals alike, and reflect on the dismally dark days of Trump's presidency. But first, we must get him situated in the rearview mirror...
Spoken like a red state red neck who relies on Fox “News” and Trump tweets for his daily delusion. Rather hard to make any kind of relevant statement from 2600 miles away. But thanks for playing.
God I swear the way the news is portraying Portland, you'd think the whole city is on fire. It's a few blocks every night. 99% of the city is completely normal. The hyperbole would be hilarious if it wasn't scary. With that said, maybe it will keep some people from moving here
The typical smarmy response from you. Where in my post did I say ANYTHING about Wheeler?? Just another patented ABM projection. My point was that maybe you shouldn’t believe everything you read.....especially from outlets that have clear biases and agendas. Or are you too shallow and entrenched in your own personal ideology? Now here’s where you get to snark and deflect. Ready, set........
My whole family lives in the Portland area and I have to listen to them every. single. day. This, along with all that I read. Ted Wheeler has been an abject failure as the Mayor of Portland, OR.
As I've said to you before, you really need to look into some of common argue-mental fallacies people use in arguments, and how they really don't actually work. I say this because you just did one right now.
And Donald Trump has been an abject failure as president of the United States. But you’re obviously good with that. See how that works??
It's called cutting someone loose. As I mentioned to him in a follow-up post, my information I'm getting from Portland is solid and first-hand.
So.................an “abject failure” in an obscure city in an obscure state is to be condemned and vilified but an abject failure responsible for an entire country is to be rationalized and “rehired”??? Got it.
You really aren't good at following discussions, are you? You brought up an argument "Well, so happy you agree with all Wheeler is doing out there, then." that is clearly a strawman. That's not called "cutting someone loose". Where you getting your information has nothing to do with his opinion about Wheeler (which was not expressed) or why you said it.
I see what you did there. ,wink. No. He doesn't. Nor do you. Calling Wheeler an abject failure as Portland Mayor, based on all the reports I'm getting back from my family who lives there...has NOTHING to to with Trump. Oh, other than the fact that Wheeler wants to dump all the blame on him. Trump doesn't run Portland, OR! https://katu.com/news/local/portlan...-mayors-resignation-following-deadly-shooting
