Donald Trump has done so many unbelievable things during this election that he has almost lost his capacity to shock.  Last night's promise to jail his political opponent was only the latest example, but let's not forget that he has also...
1. Indicated that his political opponent should be assassinated.
2. Openly incited his supporters to violently attack his opponents' supporters.
3. Instructed security at his rallies to violently restrict press access. 
4. Invited a foreign power to interfere in the election. 
5. Indicated that he would use nuclear weapons in low-grade tactical situations.
6. Indicated that he would withdraw the United States from NATO and other international organizations/treaties.
7. Openly expressed admiration for some of the world's most violent and repressive national leaders. 
8. Promised to use racial & religious qualifications to bar people from entering the country. 
9. Bragged about sexually assaulting and/or indicated a desire to sexually assault women. 
10. Openly mocked a disabled person when he knew the cameras were rolling.  
11. Promised to restrict the press' First Amendment freedoms.
12. Indicated a desire not only to fight terrorists, but "take out their families" as well. 
13. Indicated that racial/national background characteristics are disqualifying for federal judges. 
14. Has expressed a stunning ignorance of and disinterest toward the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the separation of powers system.  
This is just what i can remember off the top of my head; I'm sure there are more equally galling/dangerous incidents.  
Individually any one of these incidents should disqualify a presidential candidate, and probably would in a normal year. Taken as a whole they indicate a candidate who is so far outside the mainstream of American politics that he should never have been let in. Even if you stipulate that Hillary Clinton has done everything she has ever been accused of doing (which she hasn't), Donald Trump would still be th…

Posted this to Facebook 9 years ago today. It's why I have such little patience for the "No one could have predicted it would be this bad!" people. Some of us did predict it. And we tried to warn people.

Portland legit has the world's most honest servers. A few years ago a waiter told me to avoid everything except the chicken because the chef was having a bad day. last week a waiter told me if I wanted a good version of the thing to leave and go to this other restaurant 2 streets over. mad respect

Has Trump ever visited Portland? I suppose if he did it would be a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy as we’d all probably throw rotten tomatoes at him

Tylenol/autism stuff is bad for many reasons, but it will be used to push the idea that pregnant people shouldn't have pain relief. Women's pain is already dismissed.

This is not gossip, this is long-overdue uncovering of criminal activity committed by an individual who is clearly unsafe to others.

holy shit dude using a fake deployment for wildland fire crews from a fire that’s only 13% contained during peak western US fire season to detain multiple firefighters and remove the crews from the fire is a scale of evil & dangerous I can’t fully communicate to people not from wildfire regions

Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."

idk if this story is getting much traction elsewhere but a 27 year old man who is the director of the oregon coast military museum in florence raped a 15 year old and the response of the board which his father chairs btw was to literally say to her parents' faces "maybe your daughter is a slut"

Seeing footage from these #NoKings rallies is inspiring, and it really underlines the falsehood of the β€œRed States” vs β€œBlue States” myth. As @sarahkendzior.bsky.social put it, America is purple - like a bruise

Some posse members in Multnomah County use seven-point sheriff's badges, photo and thumbprint identification cards and star-shaped vehicle decals similar to those officially registered to the Multnomah County sheriff's depart-ment.
"Some look on them as laughable, but others see the posse as dangerous," said
J. Gary McClain, the chief deputy district attorney whose boss, Harl Haas, was served by the posse with a court subpoena this month.

Some posse members in Multnomah County use seven-point sheriff's badges, photo and thumbprint identification cards and star-shaped vehicle decals similar to those officially registered to the Multnomah County sheriff's depart-ment. "Some look on them as laughable, but others see the posse as dangerous," said J. Gary McClain, the chief deputy district attorney whose boss, Harl Haas, was served by the posse with a court subpoena this month.

"THERE'S A THIN line," McClain continued, "between buffoonery and what is a danger to the local citizenry." Posse publications in Oregon ("The Swinging Sword," "Parallax View" and the so-called "Bluebook," a pocket-sized compendium of posse history and guiding legal philosophies), explain that the ordinary citizen has ultimate authority to arrest sheriffs and judges who subvert the Constitution.

In the 1970s there was a Christian Nationalist org in Oregon called the Posse Comitatus whose members impersonated police officers. They menaced judges and other public officials who they thought had committed "treason" against the Constitution. A close associate became chair of the OR GOP in 1978.

It’s not even the 14th yet and my elderly neighbor was walking outside waving his protest flag and a black pickup with no plates pulled up and assaulted him. They took his flag and gave him a massive cut and a black eye. I’m feeling sick. Everyone please stay safe tomorrow!

I knew I have one great-grandfather born in 1862 but a coworker asked me this week if I’ve ever met any of my great-grandparents and I said no, and then I realized all of them were born in the late 1800’s. I’m 34, born in 1990…
