Recyling memes on posts that are critical of genocide joe, hahahaha

Remember how people reacted when Trump was president, Presidents do have power, no need to act like they don't have influence and power to change the status quo...

Biden/Trump are the duopoly that will keep the status quo going, even after they are gone from the limelight, we have major systematic problems.

We must continue to question and be critical of those in power and with influence!

Presidents have power, but not when it comes to state and local police, that's by design.

When Portland was turned upside down by 100+ days of protests in 2020, we were VERY pissed at Teargas Ted (Mayor Wheeler). That was HIS fault, not Trumps, with one very, very narrow exception:

(making things worse - "Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf was in Portland during the day." it turned out, Wolf had been acting illegally - https://www.theverge.com/c/23172433/chad-wolf-homeland-secretary-illegal-tenure-dhs)

Things only calmed down when Governor Kate Brown sent in the State Police.
