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.
Final proof of his complete brain death.
There must be some really, really serious drugs coming over the border.
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….

We will NEVER Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.
Trump has to stop endorsing them.
Somebody ask him what year it is.
Bet you he gets it wrong! Doesn’t even know what time it is, or month, day, year...
It is time, however, to use the 25th Amendment.
I’m seeing some Portland video in coming GOP campaigns, with Biden’s voice declaring it “the Model for America”.
Joe Hiden is the lead rat of the Icky Mouse Club.
Dumber than dog crap. File this away for use in the next election.
He is right, people are moving out of Portland in record numbers.
Dementia Joe wouldn’t be going to the likes of Portland and Seattle if there weren’t heavy donors to be stroked. The game is that for an investment in the Democrat party instead of in those donors’ communities, Joe and the Forty Thieves will see to it that everybody’s money comes back their way so that it too can be denied to the community and pocketed. Which is why those communities are on an inescapable downward slide and ours looking at increasing impoverishment.
Right - make America like Portland and Seattle. Well there are some Blue cities that’re on their way in doing just that.
“We just gotta get the hell out of our own way.”
Folksy Joe just spewing the malarkey.
Biden: I don’t care I have my election fixers all over the ballot for November.
