There is one side that wants to bomb our civilization into submission.

The other side wants to prevent that. Which side are we on Portland?

@D, the “ad-hoc” agreement protected Portland. The FBI did not protect NY. The agreement might not be a bad idea but it's not an object of perfection shat from Christian God's holy anus.

You’re on the side of absolutist rhetoric (in lieu of democratic debate to try to strengthen our institutions). That’d put you on the side of Bin Laden, a long tradition of authoritarian dictators, and the Republican cartoon marathon. I guess that makes you a dickbag.

Is this the same FBI that induced a Muslim kid from Corvallis to attempt to kill everyone at the Portland Christmas Tree lighting in December, just because Portland refused to join the JTTF ?

Wait D, you mean 'bombed' like 'drunk', right? One side is totally against that. I support the side that encourages atheism, boozing it up, promiscuous sex, homosexual partnerships, science, free wifi, rock and roll, bacon and other things that make fundamentalist religious types upset. Is that what the FBI stands for? Awesome! USA! USA! USA!

Seriously, though folks, we should join the JTFF but only if the FBI gives us enough free booze, drugs and pornography so we can figure out who among us are the fundamentalists that put our freedom at risk. The FBI can monitor our internet use, but only to make sure we are streaming porn on a regular basis. You must submit to mandatory keg stands in Pioneer Square or it's off to the detention camps for you!

Hey #1, I agree. The Joint terrorist Task Force wants to false flag this country into total submission, and people with half a brain should want to prevent that.
