Portlandia Nights: Ep. 58 - Groundhog Day
7/24/2020 | ALEXANDER MUSE

Posted on 07/24/2020 7:34:36 PM PDT by bitt

The Portland Riots, in their 58th night, are the longest-running civil disturbance in United States history. About a week ago I noticed that while the mainstream media wasn’t covering the riots the Portland Police were live-tweeting and live-streaming them almost like a nightly reality program. I decided to name it Portlandia Nights and began writing a synopsis each morning – this is my eighth synopsis and the 58th episode of America’s favorite reality program. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll continue to write these because honestly, every night is the same so I’m calling this episode “Groundhog Day”.

Before I get started with the synopsis I wanted to suggest an idea. Each night the lives of federal employees are put in danger protecting government property and staff. What if we simply sent everyone home each night and locked the doors? It is the responsibility of the Portland Police and Fire Departments to protect private, city, county, state, and federal property and lives within the city limits. We should simply let them do their jobs. If they fail and the building is destroyed perhaps we should simply move the employees to different locations (inside and outside of Portland). The Antifa protesters are using these attacks on the federal buildings as recruiting and training exercises. Each night that they continue the stronger Antifa becomes. We may be winning each battle but we’re losing the war.

The day after Portland’s millionaire playboy mayor, Ted Wheeler joined the riots becoming America’s #RiotMayor events unfolded just as they have every night for the past week (and presumably the previous 57 nights). The protesters arrived at the federal buildings downtown and used cars, trucks, motorcycles, bikes, and fencing to block traffic entering or leaving the area. The mayor called on President Trump to quit ‘terrorizing’ the people of Portland as described by Hannity.

It needs to keep going. The town’s idiots haven’t learned a thing yet.

To withdraw now would embolden them everywhere, and nothing would be safe. That would result in We The People eliminating all of them - the Civil War is their goal.

Easier to make a stand now.

And I’m in Portland as I type this.

I recognize a lot of the so-called “moms” as the same antifa women who dressed in black as recent as a couple days ago. They just put on a yellow shirt now for optics. Most of these people aren’t mothers & many don’t even identify as female. #PortlandRiots

wonder if any of the “Wall of Moms” were from “climate” groups, including Sunrise Movement.

following has multiple pics of Wall of Moms Portland; 1000 Grandmothers is a “climate” group:

Facebook: 1000 Grandmothers Bay Area

15 Jul: 1000 Grandmothers Bay Area
From the Sunrise Movement-
“Throughout this election cycle, our generation has relentlessly pressured the Democratic establishment to grasp the existential urgency of the climate crisis. Today, Joe Biden released an updated plan to tackle the climate crisis & our current economic crisis with the Green New Deal movement’s fingerprints all over it.
New commitments include: ETC

It’s no secret that we’ve been critical of Vice President’s Biden’s plans and commitments in the past. Today, he’s responded to many of those criticisms: dramatically increasing the scale and urgency of investments, filling in details on how he’d achieve environmental justice and create good union jobs, and promising immediate action — on day 1, in his first 100 days, in his first term, in the next decade — not just some far off goals.
Our movement made this possible, but there’s more work to do, and the urgency of the crisis demands that we keep pushing...
Babies are being born into an increasingly uncertain world. Folks can’t breathe.
So roll up your sleeves, and let’s keep pushing.

from Women’s March
Wall of Moms is showing the entire nation just how powerful women can be. We must all use our power to rise up against this administration’s fascist tactics.
UPDATE:
A group of women of wearing yellow linked arms to form a protective “wall of moms” around Black Lives Matter protesters in Portland, Oregon on Sunday as unidentifiable federal agents refused to disperse...

Sunday’s protests began with a rally by a group called Moms Against Police Brutality, said Davis, the freelance journalist. Some members of the group, who are self-described as the Wall of Moms on social media, had been out at protests the previous night as well...

The Moms are a group of women of various ages, ***mostly white, and some grandmothers...

Surround their perimeter and hammer them on the anvil of an upgraded courthouse defense force.

“What if we just sent everyone home each night and locked the doors ?”

Idiocy.

I am a Federal taxpayer and i expect the Federal government to protect (my) Federal property.
Do you really think these Marxists will stop once they’ve achieved this victory of burning down a UnitedStates courthouse,
green lighted by the Left Portland mayor and the Left OR governor.

So if a mob is intent on attacking your home you suggest abandoning it to let them have their way ?

Sheer idiocy.

Are the protests citywide or confined to a certain area?
How is the local mood (for lack of a better word) supportive in general, or is there opposition?

The mayor and administration have given the rioters moral and material support and are responsible 100% for any and all actions of the rioters.
