America is worth saving! We most certainly have a fascist government. No one is coming to save us so it is up to us to retrieve our democracy. I am doing all that I can. I don’t care what gender, color or race you are. Just be a good person.

We had the best economy I can remember. We were respected throughout the world. We were trusted. Now there are warnings about coming to our country and we’re about to go broke because of tariffs. Only wealthy people will go about business as usual.

During the 2014 pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong, protesters used umbrellas to defend themselves against police pepper spray and tear gas. The umbrella became a powerful symbol of peaceful resistance and defiant self-protection against government force.

Not everything happens on a timeline visible to us: Biden arranged the ceasefire and Trump is taking credit. Trump messed up leaving Afghanistan and blamed Biden.

Who gives a f*ck??? Trump is allowing a terrorist country to build a base in Idaho, selling federal lands, ... and pocketing the revenue.

Right now we have bigger things to deal with. We have leadership arresting US citizens and putting them in deplorable conditions. We have US military being sent to US cities to control Americans.

Trump is lining his pockets. He is also letting a terrorist country (Qatar) build an air force base in Idaho. He is building a resort in Qatar. WAKE UP MAGA!

I worked for a company with 13,000 employees and most people worked remotely. It's easy to monitor employees.

When I went to an office I worked less because I had to leave. At home I'm destroying my back because I work such long hours.

I refuse to use a company with subcontractors . Any work done by subcontractors was a nightmare...they mistreated my property, did the work amateurishly, severely damaged parts of my house they weren't even working on, ... while people with their own team did a great job on other projects.

I am not in Idaho, but much too close for comfort.

Aren't republicans supposed to be proponents of states making their own decisions, and 'America first'???

This jerk is in Portland to stir up trouble. Watch your back.

Market of Choice is not even remotely political. They sell unique foods: Environmentally friendly, vegan, organic, etc. Like Whole Foods.
