1. SO MANY PROVABLE LIES!
Wed Oct 22, 2025, 02:38 PM

As a lifetime Portland resident, I resent this constant stream of propaganda about my city. IT IS NOT A BURNING WAR ZONE!

CBS news (under new management) broadcast a story about NO KINGS Saturday with barely a mention of the 60,000+ peacefully marching in the streets of Portland, while focusing their story on a minor skirmish outside of the ICE facility that was not even mentioned in local news reporting.

The ICE protesters have been in the streets near the building for several weeks. They seldom cross the line onto federal property, but are often kidnapped from the "legal" street and dragged into the ICE building for abuse and arrest. They recently dragged a very small blind man into their building from the street. ICE and FPS agents regularly shoot tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd (some of whom are busy with knitting and crotchet needles) that is legally protesting from the street.

He embodies the definition of a domestic terrorist and dictator.
