Is Joe Biden, or whoever is handling him today, aware of his latest "optics"?
Get a load of what he's been up to:
President Joe Biden stopped in Portland for a few hours Thursday afternoon to drum up excitement for his administration's trillion-dollar effort to revamp the nation's roads, bridges, airports and railways.
Biden's speech was part pep talk, part explainer.
"Oregon and America have gone from being on the mend to being on the move," Biden said. "We just gotta get the hell out of our own way."
Oregon? Portland? Seriously? That's like touting Flint, or Detroit as the great model upon which to build back all of America. Do his handlers think these things through -- or is Portland the only place out there that will step up to serve as his model?
Portland is a disastrous antifa-infested mess, a pit of drugs, crime, and homelessness, with corporations and citizens pulling up stakes to flee the city. Its infrastructure is a mess in no small part because city officials are so busy handing out the city coffers to the homeless instead of repairing the roads, and antifa is busy trashing and burning it. Any city like that would have infrastruture problems. Joe says he's coming to transfer money from other taxpayers to fix Portland up -- so antifa can burn it down again. Neither Biden, nor Portland Democrats talk about getting rid of antifa.

Despite city leaders and their enablers in the leftist dominated media continually make excuses for Portland’s rapid descent into third-world status, going so far as to post puff pieces claiming it’s not as bad as what some say and launching a “Be Here For Portland” PR blitz, the reality of Portland’s demise has now been preserved in a video showing just how downtown really looks in 2021. Homeless tents line the sidewalks, streets are full of trash and debris, blocks upon blocks of boarded up and abandoned buildings, and endless rows of graffiti greet visitors.
The video starts off juxtaposing a billboard for Rolex watches at Ben Bridge jewelers, then the camera pans down to show what appears to be an abandoned building, taken over by homeless, and tagged with various different bits of graffiti. Rows upon rows of tents of “houseless urban campers” adorn the sidewalks. Some are left with no tent and are just napping in sleeping bags in doorways and beneath overhangs. Like something akin to Orwellian newspeak propaganda, one such person is sleeping out front of a happy looking little state run thing called Care Oregon with the words “That’s The Care Oregon Effect” right above him. Another shot ironically shows the evidently closed Employment Access Center with many homeless camped out around it.
Note that many of these tents look brand new, likely handed out by the do-gooders of the “non profit” organizations that purport to want to help the homeless.
Then come the city-of-plywood shots, as building after building are boarded up. Some trying to operate in the face of routine riots, others vandalized by robbers, still some broken into by people who just want to keep warm at night. Several of these buildings and businesses have simply been abandoned. Sure some government officials try to blame Covid for the transformation into Boardlandia, but last I checked the virus isn’t powerful enough to shatter windows.
No, the writer is mistaken. This is EXACTLY what Biden and the powers that actually run him, want for America.
They want a rioting, burning city with anarchists causing businesses to flee while they hand out all the money to druggies. They want a city with cops so intimidated that they refuse to enforce laws. They want nihilism and death.
“We just gotta get the hell out of our own way.”
...well. Since there is no police force, they can’t stop you. Certainly the mayor, Governor and every other guv “official” will help you in any way they can. BLM will help too! But that’ll cost you big bucks.
Truth!
Like Portland is exactly what the left wants across America, and they’ve already had much success.
Final proof of his complete brain death.

The dementia is getting worse.
How have property values in and around Portland gone the last few years with all the blm and rioting ?
China Joe is living in dreamland….he doesn’t have a clue about what day it is, let alone what year it is….
Portland is officially now a third world shithole; used to be a beautiful city back in the 70s.
Drugs have been a huge problem in Portland since the ‘90s.
Movie “Drugstore Cowboy”
It is almost impossible to find a good man or woman in Portland as so many are drug addicts.
When democrats rule it never gets better note history.
