| George Washington statue toppled in Portland |
| 2020-06-19 |
| Although this was bound to happen, foreknowledge does not make me any less furious about it. [OregonLive] Portland’s 22nd consecutive day of protests against police brutality and systemic racism was defined by downtown and North Portland demonstrations, as well as the toppling of a George Washington statue. Several hundred demonstrators rallied at North Portland’s Jefferson High School, a smaller group gathered outside the downtown Justice Center and a third group assembled at the statue, which became the latest monument to be torn down by protesters. |

| #7 I seem to recall some political figure being widely mocked for saying "They'll be coming for George Washington and Thomas Jefferson next." |

| #3 The only question is just what that last part means in real, kinetic terms. I'm going long on ECT gear maker's stock. |

| #2 This is premeditated and well considered provocation. Anything to get orangeman bad out of office, oh and push socialist revolution just a bit farther. Worse yet, it's only damned June. Long road to November, and in what I believe is the likely event the President is re-elected I absolutely guarantee they will not accept it. The only question is just what that last part means in real, kinetic terms. |

| #1 Desecration of al the symbols of our founding and core beliefs is a profound message of hate. How these morons and communists think this will lessen the problem they claim ( erroneously for the most part) exists is beyond me. What I do know is my tolerance and passivity is pegging out, avoidance and disinterest in any for of support is certain now. |
