The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

I have no issue with people marking the centenary of the birth of someone no longer alive. But wishing THEM Happy Birthday is weird by any measure.

Tweet from Angry Staffer: “Great. I’m looking forward to Ken Paxton’s indictment.” Below is a news headline: “Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence.” A second tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel says, “There simply cannot be, and will not be, different rules for different people.”
