Oregon is epicenter as Trump protests surge across nation
AP ^ | November 11, 2016 | Staff

Another night of nationwide protests against Donald Trump's election came to a head in Portland, where thousands marched and some smashed store windows, lit firecrackers and sparked a dumpster blaze. Police termed the protest a riot and used "less lethal munitions" to help clear the streets. Some 4,000 protesters surged into the downtown area late Thursday night with chants like "we reject the president-elect!"

My daughter tells me that it seems a lot of what I’d call “young, new-age hippies” become artists or vegan store vendors and the like. I watched a Netflix show called “Tiny Houses” that was about these kind of people young and old building their own “Tiny” mobile houses and squatting on land there anywhere they could.

It’s where young people go to retire. She told me about the first episode of Portlandia about the “1990s STILL EXISTS!” “It’s in Portland....”

Simple way to handle this, close off the city, cut the power and water service. Nothing in nothing out. After a few months send in the bulldozers to clean it up and start over. Repeat as necessary elsewhere.

They’re showing their contempt for democracy. They’ll only succeed in swinging the pendulum even further away from their ideology.

Donald Trump has done absolutely nothing to these people.
On the other hand, Baraq 0bama has.

What outcome are they expecting from their protests? Does anyone know?

This is costing the Clinton campaign a fortune. These are the same street thugs who have been rioting every month with BLM.

Pray America wakes

Time to go back to the old days of dealing with rioters who smash, loot and burn.

And denying any sort of Federal aid to rebuild what they will not protect....

Dear President-Elect Donald J. Trump: On Inauguration Day, right after the oath is administered, please issue the order to arrest George Soros for treason and conspiracy.

I do recommend hanging, but a firing squad would be adequate. Thank you and congratulations.

Oregon wants to secede. As a civil war outfit, they would not be very effective. As the South discovered, not having manufacturing tends to be a problem. Portland would literally have nothing but long poles cut from trees, slugs to throw, but soldiers who can run really fast in their Nikes, which they have to import from China anyway.

If you watch the first 5 minutes of the first “Portlandia” episode is really a great description of the Portland thing. Interesting that it is almost a completely white thing, but Portland does have some racial issues. Another interesting thing is that despite all the liberals the city is chocked full of strip clubs.

The West Coast seccession movement is easy to cure.

One statement from North Korea would do it—the current dictator just needs to announce plans to make the West Coast a nuclear test zone!

Then they will stop whining about Trump.

I lived in Detroit during the riot. I remember watching the National Guard in the streets.
