Pusillanimous in Portland

"Mayor Booed by Protesters, Told to Resign, Tear-Gassed During Riot".

If the hard Left ever does take over, weasels like Ted Wheeler will be the first ones stood up against the wall.

My bro and SIL just returned from Oregon. They said that there's Trump signs everywhere and they didn't see any biden signs.

Just about the only reason to vote for Biden is to not vote for Trump.
In 2016 there was a lot of Not-Hillary, but there was also a lot of For-Trump.
The Dems have to convince America Trump is destroying America as the Dems' minions are destroying America.

Useful idiots are always the first to go after the revolution. Because they are no longer useful, and they are idiots.

They must have been mostly in rural areas. The I5 corridor from Eugene to the Columbia River (which is most of the Willamette Valley) is pretty much enemy territory. Check out this map for "The Greater Idaho Petition" to see what I mean.

I used to spend a good portion of each summer on the Columbia River. That was back in the early days of windsurfing. Really good times. One of the guys owned a brewpub on the Washington side and another friend owned the Mexican joint in Hood River. Everyone knew everyone else, it was a great community.

It seems Wheeler deliberately put himself in a position to be "gassed" by the police, since while he was standing there he had a gas mask at the ready. Amero~Marxist political theater at its finest. But his private security pulled him inside the building as soon as they started throwing bottles and batteries and fireworks, and he appeared to be shocked by that.

I see a whole lot of Trump/Pence signs on our RV trip across America, and no Biden signs, and although my conversations with various gas station attendants and repair guys are anecdotal, I'm not finding a lot of Demoleftist/Joe love even in places like the Willamette Valley. I want to think this is encouraging, but I'm too old and too often disappointed to say it means anything.

Rebecca, one pundit opined that Wheeler was trying to shift the blame for the violence from the antifa terrorists to federal agencies. Certainly the media is cooperating with that.

But Wheeler remains a useful idiot. Up against the wall he will go, if and when.
