1. Oh, Wait one...

That's KIIV. My bad, or is it Trump's bad?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. Only the CONned believe 80 days of protests and one photo of teargas mean "devastation"

And the 80 days is a dubious claim. How many of those days was one guy with a cardboard sign?

Only CONNEDservatives in the Orange Manly Man cult would think protesting is illegal or bad bad bad like you

30. Congratulations on your first post

[niyad]

2. Is manbaby krasnov posting this as a supposed image of Portland?

[Aviation Pro]

3. DSNS

Yeah, those sneaky Portlanders using Cyrillic characters.

[MadameButterfly]

4. can someone explain what this image is about?

Is this DU humour or a Trump error?

[Marie Marie]

5. Ditto - what did I miss while being away from the news for about 12 hours?

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

6. Error?

If it came from Trump, it wasn't an error. He would have done it on purpose.

9. It's Kiev, Ukraine after a Russian bombing

TACO was claiming "full force" on “War ravaged Portland” because he's a delusional idiot who hates Americans.

[Justice matters.]

15. Add panicking snowflake dementia in the mix.

Scared of his pedophile years coming back to bite him in spite of his obvious cover up.

[MadameButterfly]

22. Sorry if I need this spelled out

Did Trump post the photo somewhere and caption it "full force on war ravaged Portland"?
Did he speak about it?

Is this a threat, and if so, in response to some specific event? or did he just start trashing Portland out of the blue?

[MadameButterfly]

24. i just saw "sarcasm" on the OP

was that already there or was it added?
This is a clue but still doesn't explain

[bluestarone]

17. It IS Kiev Ukraine, BUT

If TSF could do this in America THIS Supreme court would allow it!! (no doubt in my mind)

[peacebuzzard]

7. I think this is satire by Mineral Man OP

not sure where the image is from or what the image is about. But my guess is Kyiv,

[Ani Yun Wiya]

11. The image.

Looks like some place in Ukraine.

[rubbersole]

8. Looks like Gaza, sans tanks.

[IronLionZion]

10. Kiev, Ukraine

[peacebuzzard]

12. Well, it does look like a blue ocean scene in the upper background.

Kyiv is inland but on a river close by.

[IronLionZion]

26. Or a blue sky

[twodogsbarking]

13. When will Jared and hot Ivanka start construction?

[rubbersole]

16. As soon as Home Depot re-stocks their gold spray paint cans.

[BurnDoubt]

14. Sounds like a threat, doesn't it?

It's certainly violent ideation. Is there another way to explain why someone would post this?
"Bend over, or your City gets it!"
A Classic. It never ages!

21. I want to pass this along to my grandson. How can I get or generate a link?

Thanks

25. Health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection sound like hell to MAGA Republicans

They think blue cities are ravaged by such things. They much prefer book bans and measles outbreaks in red rural areas.

[MadameButterfly]

23. The way Trump trashes blue cities is descending to more and more

infantile and so far from any kind of reality that it's hard to believe anyone listens to him any more.
Is this all some delusional demented rant, or is it a plot to prepare us for the occupation?
Is the dictatorship inevitable or is he just going to crash and burn when no one can defend him any more?
It's somewhere between 1984 and Alice in Wonderland.

20. This is a bad post

And that's all I have to say about that.

[LexVegas]

27. False. Thats not Portland. nt

[MineralMan]

32. You are correct. It's obviously not Portland, too.

It's a satirical post. It is a photo of war-damaged Kyiv in Ukraine. That is a "war-ravaged" city. Portland looks nothing like that. There is no war in Portland. There is a war in Kyiv.

Satire is interesting. It uses things like wildly inaccurate depictions of something that is completely non-representative of the reality. That should trigger in readers a realization that something is up in the post. Then, logic comes into play. The reader realizes that Portland does not look anything like that. Then, a little thought goes into the process. So, if Portland doesn't look like that, what is the point of the post? Ah, it's playing off Trump's statement that "Portland is a war-ravaged city, so we have to send troops in to rescue Portland."

Then comes clarity and an understanding that the intent of the OP was to attack Trump's false claim about Portland.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
