Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, October 05, 2025

Much like the elites of a Charles Dickens tale " tapping walking sticks in their finery while using a nosegay to mitigate the stench of the masses " in Portland, human misery fades into the background, like the quiet but incessant rain. I could almost hear the hipsters mutter to themselves, "Are there no soup kitchens? Are there no safe injection sites?"

When you hand local government over to the far left, and it refuses to maintain order, you wind up with something like "Blade Runner," where the wealthy and protected flourish, the vagrants languish and die and everyone else stays the hell away.

This is how you end up with a city where the local police arrest journalists for daring to cover the fact that Antifa has been given control of the streets. Because, in Portland, if you are anything short of a committed leftist, you can start to feel a little less than human.

My daughter was just in Portland.

She says the place is great and that she had an awful lot of fun.

Call in an airborne division.

"This is how you end up with a city where the local police arrest journalists for daring to cover the fact that Antifa has been given control of the streets."

Anti-fascists have control of the streets in every city that isn't occupied by ICE or the National Guard.

That's called freedom. It's the opposite of fascism.

Dystopia is when one Moron with Delusions of Grandeur thinks anyone who didn't vote for him should be Erased from public life.

---- That.

Trump is making political violence inevitable by denying the rights of anyone who isn't with his sick "program".

He acts like a Victim but is actually using the Victim status as cover for violent Aggressive behavior.

Gee, I wonder where he learned that?

A Certain Sect of Bigots that will remain nameless have been using "Victimhood" to justify Murder and Aggression for Decades.

Trump's Spawn Married into this Cabal.

MAGAt Pedos sure love to fantasize.

Sorry Boaz, but MAGAt Pedos are less than human. Your fantasies about Portland, trans people and liberals won't change that.

Antifa has been given control of the streets ...

So a "political movement" or ideology has been given control of the streets?

Antifa (/ ... ntif', ... ntif'/) is a left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement. It is sometimes described as a highly decentralized array of autonomous groups in the United States.
