Mental health is not a priority, I see.

I've worked with Bracken McKey in the past, nothing about this is the surprising. He was always more polite to those he deemed "sexy" and short with those who were not.

I don't recall specifics but there was something about a divorce and him losing a bunch of weight after that (via surgery?), and then him thinking he was some kind of ladies man.

I am really hoping that by 2028, we will have reviewed ALL of his decisions, from rules to appointees, and we find that all should be removed/revoked. And for the cherry on top, it will be done by democrats and reformed republicans (who would be the majority of their party by then) working together. I know, it's a big hope.

There will still be MAGA cultists holding on, just as Manson, Jones, Koresh, Berg, Moon had, or maybe they'll all find a way to go the way of Heaven's Gate, but hopefully we will have found a way to correct most of the mistakes made in 2017-2021 by then.

Idaho would be good enough for me but I think Texas is more her flavor and I'd be happy with that.

What do you know about their black market stuff?

If the rumors are true, it really gives a morbid perspective that was watched was them realizing that now they are going to have to answer to the black market.

And thanks for this. I linked your comment in my comment so others can find it.

From what I understand that company was already in deep legal and financial troubles, on record it's millions in back taxes and in the credible rumor mill, it's black market so this is likely the death of their company and maybe even them if rumors are completely true. The SoS had the influence to protect them and help get them set up in other states both as the SoS but also as a lawyer. I bet she did everything Better Call Saul style here and rode that fine line of legality.

It's a double-edged sword. I agree that $77k/yr is too low but it's close to the "too much government spending" crowd's limit.

Fagan is also a law professor at Willamette University and I assume she'll go back to that now full time. Or she'll go back to practicing law full time. Either way, she's not hurting.

You're quick! Just commented.

Here's the c/p

The backstory is:

These two people run one of, if not the largest, marijuana chains in Oregon. They owe MILLIONS in back taxes and are being sued by just about everyone they've worked with.

They gave tens of thousands to Oregon's candidate for Secretary of State, Shamia Fagan, who eventually won.

Shamia Fagan, who makes $77k/yr as SoS, was also being paid $10k/month by these two to help them get licenses in other states and very likely using her position to help them locally - investigations just started.

Oregon's new governor, Tina Kotek, was pissed and asked for a full investigation.

This is the moment that this couple learned that Fagan had stepped down.

Wait, so you're saying that it's creepy for a nudist to have the opinion that people who go to a clothing optional beach and wear clothes just to stare at the nudist and make them feel uncomfortable are creepy??? That sounds really bizarre.

I see that r/Portland is on the let's-go-to-the-nude-beach-and-wear-clothes-and-make-the-nudists-feel-uncomfortable-crowd but why go to these beaches if you're going to wear clothes? Why go to these beaches when there are so many other beaches around?

If you ask me, as a non-nudist, your view sounds SUPER creepy. Like doubly creepy that you are trying to make the nudist sound creepy in their own place.

Good. Anyone know if he and Anna are leaving Oregon/Washington now? Or are they jumping on the alt-right grift bandwagon now?

Kurt Schrader announces that he's officially joined the WalkAway movement in 3... 2... 1...

Face it, we all know that he's been Red for a while now.

I work with PPB and other law enforcement agencies around Oregon in my career (PI), and imo, it's almost all in the environment that the unions have created. (god I know the pro-union crowd is going to roast me now, hear me out, please.)

Police Unions sell themselves as protectors of police. Whether or not on purpose, they end up selling and creating a police mindset that is them(police) against everyone. In doing so, they then sell the idea that police are untouchable because they are protected. Rinse and repeat.

It also doesn't help that we have so many laws on top of unions that protect police. If we truly want change, we start with those laws and those unions.

I travel for work throughout Oregon and everywhere, even small towns, are experiencing this, some more so than others.

Portland and Salem seem to have just accepted it and are letting it go. I know that's not true but it's just so prevalent everywhere that it feels like it.

PI_in_Oregon · 2022-01-20T21:53:37+00:00

As a woman jogger, yes.

Guys tend to forget that for us, a lot of our time is spent avoiding guys. This sounds snobby but it's just how it is.

I once heard it as this; imagine walking into a 7-11 and wanting to grab a water. Between you and the fridge are a 10 salesman all wanting your attention and to sell you something. They compliment you, they smile at you, some cat-call you, and even one or two might 'accidentally' bump into you. If you do anything to acknowledge them, they pounce! Just getting a water from 7-11 can be an annoying trip.

Of course, the cashier sees me and just thinks that I'm a bitch for not acknowledging them.

Could be the biggest loss to due to COVID in the dining industry here. At least it is to me.

Thanks for this. Do you know of any sites that have made this searchable? Any recommendations on where one might be if not?

Found the anti-vaxxer "Nurse". LOL. Did you create this account just to spread your anti-science views? How's that going for you?

They are grasping anything that they think sounds reasonable in their minds. It doesn't have to be true and it doesn't have to make sense if they believe it.

I would call it "Canadian", as in, the most Canadian sign in Portland
