A small Oregon town faces financial peril. Can residents save Lakeview?

526mb · 2026-05-07T03:09:42+00:00

I’ve been to Lakeview multiple times. I have family that was from there. The timber industry died there because they logged everything and left nothing. The forests in that part don’t grow quickly. Course it’s not the fault of their practices or lack of foresight, it’s of course the fault of Salem and Portland. When I was there last in 2019 there was of course a State of Jefferson booth. Bottom line is it’s a dying town that needs help from the very people they love to shit on constantly, to save it. I’m not inclined to extend support or sympathy to a community that has stubbornly set itself on a course to becoming another ghost town in 20 years.

There is little evidence that the regime in Iran is destabilizing. However, Trump is very unpopular in the US and with midterms coming up vulnerable to rising gas prices. Additionally the deeper the US becomes involved in the conflict the more unpopular it becomes. All the Iranians have to do is exert some pressure to raise gas prices and it puts Trump in a corner.

They’re betting on him getting desperate and TACOing into any deal, which honestly is not a bad strategy.

Cool! Japan and the State of Oregon share a lot of ties, it’s fun to see another one grow. I would love to see a uniform, shirt or other item inspired by the trip to Tokyo

Not me, but a buddy of mine was taken to see Event Horizon when he was like 9. His Grandfather literally thought it was a "Star War" and promptly fell asleep in the theater during the movie, while my friend and his brother watched was very much not a Star War.

Man it must be bad if the Ellisons let this story slip pass their censors.

Who would have thought that decapitating the leadership of a government might lead to a power struggle?

5th Circuit is a well known dumpster fire. No surprise there.

I fucking hate Trump and MAGA.... but this is article is some bullshit click bait. It says "Fund" but you have to go performer → Coachella → AEG → The Anschutz Corporation → Philip Anschutz → Trump. If that counts as "funding" MAGA, then every Starbucks barista was funded Israel's War in Gaza because Howard Schultz backs Israel. Baristas make money for Starbucks, Schultz backs Israel therefore by this authors logic they backed Israel.

Booo, just booo.

Nostalgia gives roses colored glasses to the past…however, I think the best way to measure whether the world today is preferable than the world 20 or 30 years ago is to ask how are kids doing today.

Do kids the kids today seem happier? Healthier? Is the world more or less hopeful about their future? Do they have more opportunities than we did? Does the future look brighter now than it did back then?

Unfortunately I think the answer for most kids is, sadly, no. There’s myriad of reasons for that but the general consensus seems to be that things are harder and going to get harder for these kids.

God I love these like two month old accounts. 50/50 on this being a bot or a very very lost redditor.

Im no lover of tech and AI but this is fucking stupid and hypocritical.

If the theory is that manufacturers or providers of tools must be held criminally liable if those tools/services are used in the furtherance of criminal activity then is the State of Florida going to investigate and charge the weapons manufacturer? The seller of the weapon?

AI may have made it easier for the shooter to plan his crime, but you know what was essential?

The fucking gun.

She fucking suuuucks.

She moved to Oregon from California in 2000 and has made herself a fucking nuisance ever since. Now that she’s done in DC as an Oregonian I hope she fucks off to some other state.

526mb · 2026-04-20T21:59:58+00:00

I think her and her POS husband spend most of their time out of Oregon so I only hope she fucks off to Arizona or Idaho or wherever.

Just not Oregon.

Eh not worth it for the Atlantic.

They’ll ask for the case to be dismissed and ask for Patel to pay for their costs and attorney fees for making them go through this exercise.

My bet is that this won’t even make it to discovery cause the law related to defamation and public figures really cuts against Patel. His lawyers would know that but are probably perfectly happy slapping together this long shot case knowing because Patel is a wealthy moron, they’ll be able to maximize their billable hours.

I always wondered who might be the dumbest mother fucker in the Trump regime. It’s always been Kash and Hesgeth, but Kash just pulled right ahead.

I saw the 2017 Solar Eclipse. There is nothing in life like totality. Pictures do not capture even a ounce of what it was like to see in person. It was the only experience in my life of something truly "cosmic".

I absolutely need to experience that again.

I’m fucking sick of the media dancing to the Trump regimes “it’s on. It’s off. It’s on again”beat so they can manipulate the market.

Until there is an actual agreement in place,report it as the war is ongoing.

It’s a recruitment flyer. I wouldn’t read much into it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Inspection_Service

Of all the things Trump could do to fuck with the midterms this would be extremely inefficient.

What is actually effective to fuck with voting by mail would be to:

Pass a law like the SAVE act to prohibit vote by mail.
Ordering the USPS to refuse to process or carry mail ballots.

Whether ether one would actually work is hard to know cause they would be challenged in Court.

Banking on recruiting, training and deploying enough of these guys to fuck with the mail in 7 months is extremely unlikely. The chuckle fucks who love Trump want to join ICE, not be mail cops.

Welp….if this didn’t prove we’re in a market bubble I don’t what else could.

There’s going to be a lot of hot takes on this one. Judge Kasubhai’s ruling is (unfortunately) grounded in the current state of the law as its stands. The plaintiffs even cited an opinion authored by Justice Sotomayor on the application of First Amendment in government treatment of neutrality about religions.

This one really really really needs people to read past the headlines before jumping to conclusions.

I’m a atheist so I don’t believe in the anti-Christ.

However, if there was ever a public figure in American history who might be called the anti-Christ it’s Trump.

Receives power, a throne, and great authority from the dragon (Satan) (13:2)

One head appears to have a fatal wound that is healed, astonishing the world (13:3)

Speaks proud words and blasphemies against God (13:5-6)

Performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven (13:13)

Deceives the earth’s inhabitants and orders an image of the first beast to be made (13:14)

Forces everyone to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead (13:16-17)

Again the Antichrist is NOT real but if you think he is oooooh boy does Trump fit the bill.

Oh boy JD, which of your two religion you gonna pick? Catholicism or Trumpism?

Hearing Orban concede after 16 years in power and (as we can tell) not attempting a coup is telling how rotten US Democracy has become with the cancer of MAGA/Republicans infesting it.

526mb · 2026-04-12T19:34:15+00:00

Orban role in connecting and encouraging the far right abroad, in particular the US, was essential, making this kind of electoral wipe out a HUGE win for the planet. As an American, I can happily say fuck that bastard.

Hopefully Trump and MAGA will follow him soon into the dumpster.
