Yea, she's cool
I'll accept her into the clan Coyne, no problem :)
This is good (God bless the Irish, where would the World be without us? A much more boring place, that's for fucking sure :) )

Gives me goosebumps whenever I watch that, the bodhrán sends chills down my spine.

No silver spoon in her mouth as a baby. She ended up with a JD in law from Rutgers in 1970. Practiced law for a time and taught at various universities before becoming full professor at U Penn Law School teaching business law. Her specialty is bankruptcy and consumer protection law. She worked as an advisor to Mike Synar's National Bankruptcy Review Commission in 1995, held a position in FDIC and worked on the Congressional TARP oversight committee. She became a Senator in 2013 and said her main motivation was because she felt she could do more from that post to protect consumers and reduce the power of banks.

Bernie dropped out of college, kicked around as a writer, eventually got a job as Mayor of Burlington and then went to Washington.

My main criteria for President is almost exactly the same as when I'm interviewing people to work in my lab. Strong record of accomplishment, works well with others, demonstrates the ability to accomplish difficult and complex tasks, motivated to learn as much as they can on subjects they are working on.
Fun fact; Katie Porter studied under Elizabeth Warren.

And it was McConnell that froze the Senate from most bills out of the House to ram through the judges. Trump enabled it, and the other things the Republicans accomplished by making them seem not so bad as compared to the trouble Trump was causing.

“What are they marching for?” one soccer mom asked.

The anarchists, antifa and activists seemed at times to question that themselves.

“Who set this (expletive) up?” Reese Monson asked over a megaphone as the demonstration got underway two hours earlier outside Revolution Hall.

One man threw a large-sized rock at the back of a passing car. The car continued.

Moments later, the group marched past Ninth and Everett Street, where several people suddenly used metal batons and crowbars to smash out windows of the Democratic Party of Oregon headquarters and tagged the building with “F--- Biden” messages.

Best line from the article:

“This is the worst (expletive) march I’ve ever attended!” another person yelled.

I don't get it. What the hell do they want?

Now that trump is gone they're now going after Biden? Not all but some of these protesters are just dead enders. They are no longer protesting any cause but merely protesting because that has become their life. We're sick of it here in Portland. Any of us that live here is a potential target for their violence. They just randomly throw rocks at passing cars without even knowing who's driving them. They're just randomly vandalizing random businesses, many that have BLM posters in their windows. Months ago when they marched down a main arterial a few blocks from my house I sat out on the front porch with a baseball bat and the light on ready and waiting. Nothing happened but that hasn't been the case for many homeowners who woke up to find their tires slashed and windows smashed on their vehicles.

"With two drummers keeping a beat in the middle of the group, marchers yelled chants including “No good cop, no good president!” “Black Lives Matter!” and “No cops, no prisons, total abolition!”

A bunch of young white males yelling Black Lives Matter means nothing. Especially since many were calling black police officers the "N" word at many of their rallies. No prison? Really? So what do you do with child molesters, rapists, armed robbers, etc... They want anarchy which is why those still out there causing mayhem can legitimately be labeled anarchists.

I don't know about anyone else but I believe we need laws and law enforcement for serious crimes that involve injury and death. If they don't like it here then they can move to Somalia where there are no laws. But the chances of any of them booking airfare is slim to none. Bunch of punks.

I was going to put Richard Pryor on penitentiaries, but it would be taken out of context and not understood, we need law and order and prisons, Anarchy my arse.

So, can we start dealing with the fascist cops now?

I dont understand why you are fighting understanding so hard that these people are sucked in the same moronic hole that the Proud Boys, Boogaloo boys and any other brainwashed cult are. You pull off some of those masks like a Scooby Doo episode and it will turn out to be the same Russian trolls starting all this nonsense.

8 people were arrested. Their names are published and nobody is saying they were boogaloo or PB. I'm pretty sure we would already know if they were.


You posted an earlier article where right wing nut jobs were set up to protest a Texas mosque or Muslim cultural center and the people listed as the organizers turned out to be a Russian organization. I don't know who set up this rally in Portland so it's hard to say what happened here.

I think the message is that they don't think anything changed when Biden took office. Surely you don't think that cops will stop brutalizing Black people just because we have a different old white man in the WH? Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, is asking state legislators to give him tougher laws to use against protesters. So, maybe they are right on that.

Using tougher laws to crack down on people who are protesting police brutality is a contradiction. Start addressing police brutality.
