One fireboat, a little skill, and you could braid those ropes...

Hope they leave the bridge open. My wife is driving to Washington from Ca. She will be going over that bridge tomorrow.

Can’t they just cut the ropes? Problem solved!

Wasn’t there once a filthy American Marxist that decided to lay down in front of an Israeli bulldozer?

Lighter fluid. Soak the rope and hold up a match. Give them 15 seconds and apply match to rope.

I live in California where things are bad but Portland, and at least western Oregon, has to be one of the most F’d up places in the US.

Optional...

My liberal solution works for Republican liberals too.

Readily available solution

Perhaps we can start a non profit and buy one cage per liberal. It would stimulate the economy and solve the planet’s greatest threat by far. The American Liberal.

1: Get a cage
2: Put the liberal in the cage:
3: Charge admission to human beings to view the threat that nearly destroyed the planet
4: Wait a couple weeks.

Problem solved.
