… Armory’s gym was filled by about 200 people. Based on the amount of applause that followed most questions and answers, most were opponents of the Trump administration…

Then Trump supporters were all working. Hold these “listening sessions” in the evening.

If we’re not careful Trump is going to make us wear masks, stay in our homes and get a jab in order to participate in society and shoot pepper rounds at us if we dare sit on our porch. Or storm into churches and protest in the middle of service! That would be really fascist, probably never happen, will it Mr merkley.

Hey, they all swear an oath to the Constitution anyway.
Even so, it seems that some of them have absolutely no idea what it says or what it means.
We might as well test them on it so they know what they are swearing to.

Where was Merkley when Biden was allowing millions of illegals to flood into this country? They both swore an oath to follow our constitution and our laws. Now Trump is trying to reverse this situation by removing these illegals and the Democrats are protecting them -- many of them are criminals. Should illegals have more rights than our own citizens? I think not! Using words like "Fascist" and "kidnapping" only help to incite not calm. These are tactics Democrats are using right now to cause division and rioting in our streets and complete lawlessness. Also, why is this newspaper only seemingly able to give credit to the Democrat party and hardly ever to the Republican? And, regarding ICE members wearing masks, I think I would too if these anarchists were threatening to kill me and my family were I an ICE agent. As to executive orders just how many did Biden or Obama sign that the Republicans didn't like? We quit this paper once for its one sided reporting and just started it again. I don't want to say it's journalism because it just isn't really fair reporting. More like propaganda. No wonder I get my news from many sources.

“How do you run a country if the government refuses to follow the law?” Merkley asked. David's first question would be a good place to start.

It's not surprising most of those in attendance were anti-Trump - Merkley is rated the 3rd most partisan-left senator? - behind only Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. From here, that looks like a race to crazy!

The fact that a majority of Americans voted for this guy demonstrates that you can "fool some of the people some of the time". Our only hope is that voters have learned a hard lesson and Democrats get their act together. That assumes that there actually is another election.
