Believe me, I have started thinking it. As long as they continue their Soladansk stance. What would it be like to be in Poland? Hhhmmmmm...

Sad, but true.

Although frankly, we should make THEM get out. They hate it here so much, from the founding, they should want to leave, not sit here and fester in our horrid country.

I’ve been looking at Gdansk/Sopot, some real nice areas there.

Shit like this is why I am contemplating moving to Poland.

You are not alone. Where can we get away from this lunacy

The cost of this should be taken out of any federal funding to Oregon or Portland.

How can we band together? Seriously, not “virtually”? We are unprepared for this. Mostly because we do not bother to agitate and “protest”; we goon with regular American life, just trying to live, not complain.

What about current black oppression in Africa and the middle east?

True, but Poland is sandwiched between Germany and Russia. Both countries have behaved stupidly with very nasty consequences.

I’m not worried about the Russians anymore. Their bark is worse than their bite these days.

And, yes, even dare I say, Belarus. Lukashenko may be a nut, but it’s a clean country, I’d like to visit it and see how “Soviet” it is (as my favorite YT blogger “Bald and Bankrupt” would say)

I have some Armenian in me so, naturally, I have a major problem with Turkey. I’m sure you are aware of the Turkish genocide of Armenians.

I want in on this.

I’ve been looking at Saint Petersburg.

Stunningly beautiful city, especially in the winter.

I’m going to Portland to live and get my “leave pay” reparations for all the relatives I lost in Europe in the Holocaust. /sarc

Wheeler is another psycho Marxist governor. The whole West Coast his run/ruined by them: Inslee - Wash. State; Wheeler - Oregon; Newsom - California and who was the fool from Colorado (Hickenpooper?).

What is he doing for the killed and maimed victims of black criminals? NOTHING!!!

He’s a reverse racist. As Haley Joel Osmond might say about him re “The Sixth Sense”, “He doesn’t care about crime victims”.

If I were a city employee I would mostly mourn those who had been aborted. Still ongoing sadly.

Schedule the 40 hours mourning time-off back to back with a week’s vacation and go to the beach.
