the heart of shame is the sprout of morality, the heart of
respect is the sprout of propriety, and the heart of right and wrong is the sprout of wisdom."

This is the Willamette National Cemetery, a veterans cemetery 10 miles outside of Portland. If the Republican Party wants to find Antifa around Portland, there are thousands of them here. And they want to know why the GOP has joined the fascists they died fighting against.

I hope by the end of the month the only thing any news network can show of Portland is footage of masked men in body armor with automatic weapons facing down a magical army of giant, puffy animal people armed with fans and awkward dance moves.
