PATRIOT PRAYER'S JOEY GIBSON: "Attention Portland! I am dumb! Repeat: I AM DUMB! *is this thing on?*" Doug Brown

GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! You got Versace gold link stomach chains with rocks. Official hair style, but you're stuck up in the spot. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

The fascist dummies from Patriot Prayer are once again returning to Portland tomorrow for one of their masturbatory, unnecessary rallies. Should you be lured into their trap? Our Alex Zielinski tells us what to expect.

The Oregon wildfire just south of the Dalles has grown to 20,000 acres, and hundreds of residents have been told to evacuate.

Daryl Turner, president of Portland's police union (who in my opinion has probably done more to damage the reputation of our city's cops than anyone else), is at it again, this time accusing Mayor Ted Wheeler of failing "miserably" for the way he handled the Occupy ICE protest.

Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort remains in court to answer charges of bank and tax fraud. So what was he doing with all that money? Oh, you know... buying a $20,000 karaoke system, and a $15,000 ostrich skin jacket.

When pressed by CNN reporter Jim Acosta, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders not only refused to refute the notion that "the press is the enemy of the people," but then read a laundry list of how she has been personally wronged by the media. Man, liars have it really tough, don't they?


That said, Ivanka Trump disagrees with dad and doesn't consider the press an enemy of America. (Note: She can be right about that, and still be a terrible person.)

In the meantime, though, Daddy Trump is doubling down on fueling hatred for the media, spending much of his time at a rally in Pennsylvania slagging journalism.

Despite what Russian puppet Donald Trump may say, some members of his national security team are insisting that Putin has fucked, and will fuck with our elections again.

Oh, and by the way? The Trump administration told a judge that they aren't responsible for returning immigrant children to their parents after forcibly tearing them apart, because that's the ACLU's job. WHAT.

GOOD NEWS:


HEY. Are you going to Pickathon? Be sure to check out the "12 can't-miss artists" at this year's fest!

Now let's talk WEATHER: Possible drizzles this morning (!!) with a daytime high of 73. (And a very pleasant sunny weekend ahead!)

And finally, here's the primary reason to have kids. SO YOU CAN EMBARRASS THE SHIT OUT OF THEM ON THE JUMBOTRON!
