They need to get that on TV, man.
It would make for some pretty boring TV. Most of the competitions at the National Matches are target/bullseye disciplines, and even I admit that it's pretty boring to watch someone take rifle shots at a target up to 1,000 yards away.
Well, we are slowly finding out how many pedophiles there are in the world...

I guess it wasn't the feds.

You have become extremely cynical and bitter in recent months. I hope you don't drop to the level of NP.

Take a break from twitter bro.
How is noting that the pull out of the Feds haven't changed anything on the ground in Portland cynical and bitter?

2. Act like that is the only reliable source of information
3. Piss and moan about a place you will never go

3) I've been to Portland and have friends in Eugene and Tigard.

1) Oregon Live is not a random Twitter account.

2) Here are four other links providing the same information.

Yeah I'm not sure where those weird attacks came from. We kept being told that the protests were peaceful until the jackbooted feds rolled up. Clearly, that wasn't the driving factor. What is cynical about that?

TIL Teen Vogue has basically become an outlet for Marxist propaganda.

I would love to know what they think "universal housing" would look like. Not nearly as glamorous as they think, I'm sure.

Considering the mayor of Portland confirmed the attacks, etc. I'm sure that should be reliable enough.

I was actually just going to ask, NAN how often would you guess you share a new story that's not Fox News? Because it is Fox News a lot. Like, a whole lot.

The irony being that Jared Kushner and the rest of his admin 100% politicized this from the start?

Feels as though anytime someone screams "Don't politicize this!" they're guilty of it themselves.

Freddy put other links, np twitter links, there are direct quotes from the mayor of Portland. Why are some refusing to believe there are still issues up there now that the feds left.

The federal officers definitely kicked it up, and have nothing to do with the normal protests.

Those links include such highlights as "a truck drove through protesters" (it hit nobody and seems to have been a traffic accident with a parked motorcycle) and "police declared a riot" (because people were damaging the same building as every other night).

I don't give a **** that you spam twitter, or if I'm dead wrong about what I'm saying. it's just a personal irritation to have wild **** thrown everywhere with zero thought, its like scrolling f***ing facebook in here.

Kanye West’s effort to get on the ballot in multiple critical states for November’s presidential election has been aided by at least half a dozen Republican or Trump-linked political operatives.

Their involvement has raised speculation that the rapper is simply running a spoiler campaign designed to take votes — particularly Black votes — from presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in those battleground states.

Now, West has all but admitted that’s what he’s doing.

In an interview with Forbes, conducted via text message, West said he wasn’t running for president, but “walking” for president, clarifying that he was “walking . . . to win.”

But when it was pointed out to him that his name won’t be on enough ballots to win the necessary 270 electoral votes to make it to the Oval Office and that his campaign looks designed to take votes from Biden, West replied: “I’m not going to argue with you. Jesus is King.”

If I remember the quote it went something like “This guy gets it”. 😂

It’s so **** shady and pathetic on all levels

Part of me feels bad for Kanye, because he's clearly suffering some sort of defect and is being relegated to literal Token status by Trumpers who don't realize how much Kanye's support of Trump has harmed his standing. But part of me also feels like he married into a family full of experts in shameless self-promotion, so f**k that guy.
