Portland protesters topple statues of Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln in ‘Day of Rage’; police declare riot

Monday is the federally observed holiday of Columbus Day, but many states and cities now recognize the day instead as Indigenous Peoples Day over concerns that Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas helped launch centuries of violence against indigenous populations.

So they are condemning Columbus for allegedly doing what they themselves are currently doing, which is using violence against another racial group.

Ask me if I care about their little feelings or opinions.

I don’t because everything they claim to be advocating for is just a lousy, crap excuse to riot, burn, loot, and murder.

They don’t really care about stuff like that. They are just using it to justify themselves to a very gullible and stupid population, who, like the idiots they are, believes them.

Hope trump has a nice surprise for these pukes thier supporters and funders come November 4th

Well, I think it’s more than Dems. This is not profound as we all know, but Rhinos like Dubya, disappointingly Cheney, etc. have not been vocal about unprecedented attacks, physical and sometimes killing other people supposedly who shared the values they campaigned on and secured votes by us to allow them office. Aside from their distaste of Trump, they could’ve commented at the very least what their former voters/supporters have gone through in this era with the democrat party leveraging antifa and Black Lives Matter against every day Americans.

Does anyone have any links where our former President George W. Bush or Cheney has concern for the former supporters?

Gropin’ Joe should show up to one of these riots and have a real rally.

[SaveFerris]

Yep the Uniparty

[caww]

Portland police declaring a riot of the rioters is like putting icing on their cake! They are loving it so much they celebrate it as mission accomplished!

[caww]

Portland Isn’t under siege! What are you talking about? Portland has rolled out the red carpet for these thugs....they house them, feed them, cloth them, and give them medical care every single day. So that they can continue these protests every night.

I have zero empathy for any in Portland.

I should have included RINO’s in my initial statement about the democrats ruining our country. Good point. But all of this is eventually coming to a close with a one world government ruled by the anti-Christ. Maybe the first question for everyone to ask before they vote is “What is my relationship with the Lord and where will I spend eternity?” We will be held accountable for who we vote for. Knowingly voting for anti-God candidates is not very wise.

[caww]

Obviously they are ok with it....they provide them with everything they need every day....food, clothing, medical, housing. Charity kitchens bubble preparing their meals. So they can certainly stay there as long as they like doing what rioters do.

Plus they have a special community group.....”Team Raccoon” that cleans up after the rioting children retire for bed. Go figure....

[caww]

It's all fun and games.....

A Portland 'Protester' Is Now Making ‘Tear Gas Ted’s Hot Sauce,’

in honor of Portlands Mayor Ted Wheeler

Donald act now send in the troops. This is the easiest ten points u will ever get. Just do it. Bury Biden in Portland

[Coop]

Let’s face it. . .the democrats have ruined the United States of America.

Only if we let them.

[dokmad]

And they continue to call them protesters, Sickening. Radical, criminal anarchists is the truth that is being ignored!

In OR-04, after years of nominating a rather odd candidate, this time around the GOP has nominated a National Guardsman combat veteran who helped to stop a terrorist on a Paris train in 2015. Alek Skarlatos*

OR-04 encompasses southwestern OR, while Portland is OR-03. Trump lost the state by 10.6 points in 2016, but given the insanity in Portland I think OR is going to be competitive this time around. I was in OR 2+ months ago, and there was a lot of disgust with the Democrats. And that was before the governor completely botched the wildfire response. Both parties are spending money on OR-04, meaning both sides view it as competitive.

Trump lost this district four years ago by a mere 1/10 of a point.

The taxpayers are being defrauded when the police they pay don’t act - and the insurance companies are being defrauded because they’ve factored the presence of a paid police force into their pricing for policies. This doesn’t just impact property and auto insurance; it impacts life and health insurance policies as well.

[caww]

Well this might redeem Portland in the eyes of the people here as well as Oregon..........so good news if it looks possible Trump might take Oregon!!!

[sauropod]

I agree.

The police declared a riot and then sat on their @$$ for an hour?

[windsorknot]

They’re not protesters!

[Coop]

That would be awesome. But I’ll settle for Trump cutting his OR margin in half the GOP recapturing OR-04. So far the Trump campaign appears to be completely ignoring Oregon. I understand, in that they don’t need the state’s electoral votes. But it would be nice to see some headlines about the OR campaigns and a little money sent that way.

I don’t buy the premise that Columbus inflicted violence on the locals. He arrived in three small ships, crew size about 40 each. Had he imposed violence on the locals he would have ended up like Custer.
