Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we donât need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Antifa is his very own HOAX. Or they're so fucking good that they've never been seen.
Usually when someone loses their shit over shadows they need to have their meds updated.
He's presiding over the beginning of the decline of our power and influence. Hopefully he's still alive to be held accountable in the most awful way possible.
Maybe Epstein has an Island in Hell.
