      If only there were some technological mechanism available for people on the street to film and document and share information to verify or denounce this claim.

      How is Portland still a boogieman for these idiots….my brainwashed conspiracy theory-added coworker was spouting nonsense about it during Covid shut downs

      The only thing that scares Trump more than a visit to Portland Oregon is the release of the Epstein Files.

    4. just looked at the local portland news page. they didn’t say anything about the city burning to the ground. is it because they are afraid to say anything?

      It’s worth noting the fuller [quote was encouraging everyone to believe what they saw on TV](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-rages-over-judge-appointed-174435934.html):

      >Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, instigators, all you have to do is look at your television, turn on your television

      And they’ve [suddenly changed tactics](https://www.opb.org/article/2025/10/05/federal-tactics-on-protesters-escalates-hours-after-judge-rules-against-trump/):

      >Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland on Saturday, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city.

      >**…Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests. They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.**

      Maybe instead of golfing he should take a plane ride out to Portland to see for himself. Take the new jet ✈️

      He truly has lost his mind. He genuinely believes that if his mind conceives something, it’s reality.

      How can so many Americans not think he should be removed from office? I’ve heard the argument that they don’t care as long as he “owns the libs.” But he hasn’t owned the libs. On the contrary.

    8. Umm…the federal government is shut down. The CA Guard is being federalized.
      HOW ARE THEY GOING TO PAY THEM????

    9. I can’t help but feel that a truly forward thinking government would have harnessed the ever-burning fire that is Portland to generate electricity for the rest of the Pacific Northwest.

    10. Just visited Portland for the first time the day before yesterday, and I have to say it is the first time I’ve ever enjoyed being in a major city!

      The insurrectionists must have been in another part of town I guess, because all I saw was friendly people and a beautiful city. Or maybe Trump is a giant orange sack of shit.

      Also, I just gotta say how impressed I was with the TriMet system. Coming from somewhere with zero public transport, it was very accessible to a yokel like myself and all the TriMet staff were super friendly and helpful

    11. I live here. It’s fine. Or, it *was* fine. Literally, before he sent in his brown shirts, there were literally five to ten people everyday in front of the ICEsis facility. Now? There’s more but they still are peaceful. The demonstrators are being violently attacked and disappeared but it still remains peaceful from the Americans who are standing there. We now have military helicopters flying all night, every night, over downtown, allowing no rest for people who need to sleep. They are gassing the area, letting dangerous chemicals flow into schools, apartments, etc. The local police are sympathetic but have told citizens they are instructed to not interfere.

      We are truly being terrorized by people who are supposed to represent us. Trump is choosing to not be our president. It’s fucking scary and sad.

      If Portland is this bad ask yourself: why are zero national or international news networks in Portland with protective gear reporting live? The footage I would guess most are showing is from the protests after George Floyd. Deceptive stuff. Where is Cooper Anderson live? Fox News? BBC? NBC? ABC? CBS? CBC? Hell: where are Newsmax and OAN? You’d think if it was so bad they would be all over it. Right Wing and Left Wing should be feasting off of this. So maybe…..just maybe this is a no story and bringing the National Guard to Portland is a massive overstep and should be the real story? Also I believe the judge who ruled on the legality of the deployment was a Trump appointed judge. Can anyone verify that?
