You'll pardon me for say so, but the left fought tooth and nail to some Russian conspiracy for years without ever being able to provide one shred of proof. If the right wants to ask questions for a few weeks, tough shit.
If we are to start showing articles of extremists on both sides of the aisle, I can probably find a few dozen or so crazy democrats.
I don't know what my view is on this. I am still forming my opinion. I know the Laurelhurst area there, and yes, it is nice but I would like to examine the process by which that area was chosen for clean-up versus other parts of the city. I might get some hate mail on this- and that is fine- but there are poor and low-income and medium income people throughout the country who are trying to upgrade their area and live with a little dignity too. If you are are a hard working immigrant, trying to run a little grocery store and get by and you wake up some day and there are now fifty frigging homeless tents right outside your door then there is not a damn thing that Portland, Seattle, LA or Sanfranshithole or Sacramento etc are going to do about it. I ask again, by what decision process did Portland arrive at the decision to clean up this area? Sort of an open ended question for reflection. If they have a lottery type system or rotational and equitable approach and the Laurelhurst area's turn came up, versus the rest of the city that has areas whose number never seems to come up well maybe they got lucky. Otherwise, I say fuck em. You want to clean up the city, you wait your turn and you are not special. You have to watch out for the lefties in these cities. They will applaud and support looters and rioters and drug dealing and homeless encampments as long as the city follows the unwritten rule that it is not supposed occur out "in areas where this time of thing is not supposed to happen." I say leave the shiite there and if antifa loots and burns houses in that area, then call your community social worker that you want to replace the police and have him/her bring by the right kind of essential for that kind of problem. Nope, I would not let that neighborhood escape the consequences of the direction of the city now, as there are power players in that neighborhood. I might change my mind. Right now, I doubt it. The lefty idiots here will say that I am siding with antifa. No, idiots. It is the opposite. Antifa and Black Looters Matter want to burn and loot and turn that entire city into a dump everywhere. I dont want any burning, any looting, any turning of neighborhoods into dumps anywhere. See if you can spot the different.
