Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler moves house to avoid "mostly peaceful"rioters burning down his condo

I feel sorry for you guys, Jay. You were stupid enough to buy into the revolution of a bunch of cop killers and segregationists, and that's just the BLM and Antifa, and all the weedy men and fat girls. You thought it would win you the Presidency, and discovered too late that the Great Dealmaker was laying it on the Donkey Party. But I don't blame you personally. I think your leader, Pelosi, that other clown from NY, are worthless, and the rest of the Cali Mob are equally stupid. I''m not even saying that the Republican leaders are better people, just that they are slyer and more cautious and therefore make yours look tenth rate instead of merely seventh rate. Why don't you run for public office? (I know, I know, I've never run for election to anything, though I've been acclaimed for positions in professional bodies, or simply appointed when the committee got fed up with me freeloading on their leadership sacrifices. It's just that I'm far more effective as an eminence grise.) BTW, you don't really think Romney is a Republican, do you? You could beat him, easily. We'll see in November what the Donkey Party's foolish dance with the worst elements in American society has cost y'all.

Where's Jay Beattie? Even his bumbuddy Ted Wheeler, mayor of "the whitest city in America", is now calling him a liar about those "mostly peaceful" rioters, looters, arsonists and murderers in Portland that Jay and Franki-boy (who else? -- if an immoral position appears on RBT, 99 times out of a 100 Krygowski is the guilty party) have been talking up for months now.

Here's a leftie rag reporting the event, even at this late date unable to give up its hero-worship of the rioting morons and criminals -- check out that "some people", which is the equivalent of Beattie's "mostly peaceful" rioters: "Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler says he’s looking for a new place to live after his Pearl District condo building has been the site of repeated demonstrations, including on Monday when crowds demanded he resign and some people set fires and broke windows."

Even a pinko-commie-fellow-traveller like Ted shouldn't be forced out of his home by a violent mob of "peaceful rioters." The Government should do something. Oh, I forget, Ted Wheeler *is* the government in Portland. Well, WTF, maybe he's just incompetent instead of actively vicious, as he has appeared for months now.

'“I want to express my sincere apologies for the damage to our home and the fear that you are experiencing due to my position,� Wheeler wrote to the other inhabitants in the condo block.'

I don't see any report of Wheeler feeling sorry for the fear and loathing the rest of Portland citizens have been experiencing for months on end while he encouraged the rioters, arsonists, looters and murderers.

Not everyone has the money to move away from the violence in Portland, like Jay is doing. Once the layer of six and seven figure earners who carry most of the tax burden is gone, Portland will probably vote Republican, just like the rest of the country.


Wow, Andre, way to mix cutting and pasting with you usual uninformed pontificating about life in Portland. The Oregonian is right-leaning, by the way. The editor is an acquaintance (who I don't see much now due to COVID). Her sister was a summer associate at my firm and is now a judge. The editorial board is way more right than, let's say, Willamette Week. The Oregonian also is not a rag.

I've been consistently stating that the second-shift, after midnight crowd needs to be thrown in jail. We're talking dozens -- not hundreds -- of people responsible for the property damage. EVERYONE agrees that it needs to stop, but sending feds to do general policing was and is the wrong approach. PPB and OSP are the right approach. And, to reiterate, Portland is not in flames -- unless you consider a burning picnic table to be a city. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/01/polit...ent/index.html

But, you and the other dopes eat this stuff up -- served hot by the Alt Right. Trump and his minions will continue using PDX as a whipping boy until November since it gets his base energized and distracts from the fact that he is doing a ****ty job with COVID and everything else. He's gotta go with the "liberal Portland is in flames!" schtick. They're taking your suburbs! Negros will take your women folk!

BTW, Oregon has a history of progressive Republican politicians including Tom McCall (who appropriated all Oregon beaches for the public) and Wayne Morse, who was once a Republican, and Vic Atiyeh and Gordon Smith, Mark Hatfield and others. Trump is not a Republican. He is a populist. As between Trump and Romney, Portland would vote Romney -- or for any non-insane, middle of the road Republican.
