Warships off Pendleton, I-5 closed [View all]

Trump is going through with his ‘see what a tough dictator I am” vanity parade after all. It seems such a stupid, useless display of ego that I didn’t think it would happen. Wrong again

A friend has bicycled in to Trestles beach and captured this photo of one of the four big warships in view a few minutes ago. He also reports I-5 is a parking lot filled with pissed off motorists.
