Important to understand that Trump posted this on "Truth" Social: "THE RADICAL LEFT ANARCHISTS HAVE STOLLEN OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION" and "MILLIONS ARE FLOODING THROUGH OUR OPEN BOARDERS' So...."Woke" people are baking German Chistmas pastries and boarders are flooding our cities.

I don't typically remark upon such cosmic levels of malignant stupid, but tonight I am weak.

Why would the supposed anarchists go to the trouble to try to take over the government? ANARCHISTS DON'T BELIEVE IN GOVERNMENT! Just like big businesses cannot be Marxist! Buy a dictionary, you 10.0-magnitude moron.

Sometimes there are things that just don't make sense. What you say is 100% correct; I have watched as "Antifa" and "Anarchists" have become one and the same here in the Pacific Northwet. The first time I saw organized anarchy (and that's a clue right there) was at the WTO in Seattle, 1999 during those protests. Eugene had its fair share of involved activists (which is a more accurate description of those that I had the opportunity to interact with.) In the early 00's, there were some related protest movements that took on components of violence and anti-corporate stances and became self-described anarchists. Those who took place in the Occupy movement were more of the former than the latter.

Since my retirement, I have not been as "in the know" as I was previously, but what I have seen is that these self-described anarchists have been lumped into the Antifa movement (which I believe is an outgrowth of the Occupy movement) and through pretty savvy labeling have become known as anarchists are nothing like real anarchists at all, but violent protesters of corporate greed and its detritus.

Some of them yes, but I think some of those, particularly in Portland, who use every opportunity to create havoc and vandalize are actually apolitical and love to smash windows and set fires in the middle of the street just because. They are detrimental to people who are actually peaceful protesting and giving all protesters a bad name.

This and the terrible homelessness is why we left Portland. It was once a beautiful city. We loved it there. But the pandemic, the George Floyd riots (and the weekend incursions from the Vancouver-based Proud Boys that kept things stirred up) , and inept city government that just seemed helpless in addressing the city's issues became too much. We no longer felt safe going downtown.

Unfortunately, there is a small group in Portland that take every change they have to vandalize and cause a mess. During the George Floyd protests there were people who were not peaceful and the problem was exacerbated by death star's administration sending in Feds. Kotek is making a big effort to address homelessness and housing among other things. But we have not in my neighborhood and cities that want no additional construction. I am reminded of Great Expectations where Magwich escaped from a prison ship. I say this because people want the unhoused off the streets and out of sight and they would be fine with such a solution. There was a book review in this Sunday's NYT's of a book called Poverty, by America, and it calls to task all of us including liberals and progressives. I will buy it in my next order.

You must have been up close and heatedly trying to defend Seattle from the black shirts in 1999, while I watched stunned on TV. The lineage of protest and the means and methods have apparently a complex history, with the biggest and most gruesome methods so far displayed January 6, 2021. But the endless cycle of people killing large numbers of others is a grim parallel. Where do they overlap? Will you write more about this?

I only attended training with cops from Seattle; their report of that event was a real eye-opener. That event ushered in a period of violent protests (some of them for the sake of violence rather than true protest.)

Expand full comment

I was there in Seattle. The night before the WTO meetings started we held a very peaceful and prayerful gathering encircling the Kingdome. The next morning the violence was amazing!

There were many aspects that were totally unexpected and Seattle was unprepared for what was in many ways an invasion. So many people came from other parts of the country with the intention of creating a riot, not protesting.

That is exactly what/who we saw in Portland's BLM protests following George Floyd's murder.

Spelling was never tfg's forte... And the increasing typos and all caps speak volumes about his state of anxiety.

And childish mentality.

Those posts tell me tfg is now doing his own writing. Remember his tweets early in his presidency? Ungrammatical, weird capitalizations, misspelled, more a stream of consciousness than a coherent thought? Then suddenly the tweets were strategic, using BIG words, etc? I had to laugh when newscasters would say тАЬToday trump tweeted....тАЭ since obviously he was no longer writing his own posts - he had Ghost-Tweeters. These unhinged posts simply mean he is back to doing his own writing, which was always unhinged!

Yes, he went from himself to Guglilisni, to other тАШfreeтАЩ (because he doesnтАЩt pay anyone, or his bills) attorneys, and now back to himself. HeтАЩd be better getting a first grader to do his tweets for him!

Yes, you are an Officer but, I got this one. Very god news at JAMS concerning conflict resolution.

I have taken to ignoring him but reporting him daily. At some point, the moderators will intervene. Interestingly enough (well, not really interesting but notable) is that I have seen this same person posting and begging on OTHER Substacks as well! So forking out the $50 multiple times to toss out his word salads doesn't appear to be hurting him.

Thank you Miselle, the Bay Area is recovering from a power outage, so I am back on-line. ЁЯСМ

Thank you a great deal for registering your daily complaints; please keep it up as you see fit.

Reports of the Disruptor's activity on other Substack Inc platforms is significant. Please post activity on other Substack Platforms if you feel like doing so but, I can handle this matter as my experience with JAMS goes back to 1990 more than 20 matters. :)

Since she mysteriously fell down the steps and died and was very quickly buried on TFG's golf course in New Jersey (I am really hoping SOMEONE is investigating this!), I consider any reference involving Ivana yet another possible piece of evidence that he really should be charged under RICO.

Boarders flooding cities? That's the open ones? like, Rio Grande? or the people looking for accommodation? or are they getting a lot of rain? And German Christmas pastries? now, before Easter? This is not the eternal sunshine of a spotless mind.

Thank you for this; I had to reread it (so much for skim reading). Laughed out loud and shared with siblings (my mother baked Stollen every Christmas).

I buy several when they hit the shelves of Aldi, to give to people at Christmas. I try not to be alone once I've undone the wrapping - I'm an addictive Stollen eater.

Trump should also be indicted for being a lousy speller. Very funny post, Barney.

OMG. Just re-reading your comment, Barney. Can it get any worse?

Good morning Elisabeth. I signed up on Truth Social with a fake profile yesterday just to see this nonsense first hand. Wow, it's everything I expected and more.

In getting in you have to follow a minimum of 2 people. I chose Trump and Gabbard. She has certainly turned into a QAnon, lying sack of crap. Very sad to see a woman that stood on a stage during the primaries that said she would defend democracy become this.

Linda, I laugh, because i tried to sign up a few months ago and never got тАЬinтАЭ. Gabbard always gave me the creeps, as you described her. Yes, very sad. Maybe I should take your lead and try again. I could follow Qevin MQarthy or MTQreenтАж.ughтАж.

Spelling is so over-esteemed... just a typical elite nicety only prized by coastal academicians.

Expand full comment

NO. Without it, we are reduced to rabble. I cringe every time I run across a post with a misspelling. There's nothing 'elite' about education.

Expand full comment

Proper spelling is part of basic education, not a nicety for the elite. Isn't 'maximize education' one of every society's goals? Absolutely agree with James Vander Poel and CC Barton

Jeez Louise folks, you are so serious you don't recognize sarcasm? I taught for years and to this day typos jump off the page and hit me in the eye.

Expand full comment

I wonder if this 'elite nicety' were dismissed as over-esteemed by professionals such as Dr. Richardson, and her well-crafted articles contained minefields of spelling errors, if reading them would be as easy or as enjoyable for you.
