Deploying Oregon National Guard troops to Portland for 60 days because of President Donald Trump’ claims that the city is “war ravaged” and “an unmitigated disaster” is likely to cost nearly $4 million in the soldiers’ pay alone.

"The Oregon National Guard has identified one military police company and one infantry company to provide the roughly 200 soldiers. It will take a couple days to medically screen and validate those troops, then they undergo 3-5 days of training for crowd control and use of force before heading out."

"Dude, I don't think we're in the right color".

"Let one National Guard troop step in this city tomorrow and this Voodoo Doll Doughnut representing you gets a pretzel stick straight to the gut,” said Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek with Portland Mayor Keith Wilson nodding at her side.

This is an amazing new connection for Georgetown and South Park. I wonder if Rob Saka, the councilmember who chairs the Transportation Committee and also represents these two neighborhoods, attended the opening.

The chimpanzees are wearing black armbands to commemorate the passing of Jane Goodall. The anteaters are wearing bedazzled jeans because they have terrible fashion sense.

If they do manage to find their way out, direct them to one of the MANY strip clubs in Portland. The goth and alt girls will keep them there. Sex workers will save Portland.

Remember those two towers in the Denny Triangle that sat unfinished for years?
