@robertg02881538 @ANTlWOKE It’s a stunt. This “book maker” removed her name from just 23 books. He probably doesn’t have the right to publish the books - given JK Rowling has the copyright. This is a bs story to get people worried about NOTHING.

@BStotch55 @Oregonian 😂 I hope this is true. Either way the study is obviously flawed.

@dolly_duds @EricG1247 But Conservative Christians would support physicians not being able to prescribe ED treatment to any man who isn’t married to a woman. Please give this more thought. Gay men are the next target. Taking away more rights won’t fix the problem. It only feeds it.

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@alizatw @dolly_duds @kcolaizzo @EricG1247 It’s prudent to be educated on the risks of meds regardless of laws. Your other point was ok, but you do realize that you’re advocating what the conservative Christians want, right? They aren’t in favor of men having sex with men or men having sex out of wedlock.

@DmarePierre @JoJoFromJerz @HillaryClinton Yes. but maybe not. Regardless, it’s clear that neither party will do its job. Confess is a joke. All these things are smokescreens designed to trick us into not holding them accountable.

@staylo27 @glennbeck @RandPaul @GOP @DonaldJTrumpJr If we keep buying into the lies, Congress will never do it’s real job. This is a smokescreen (Trump’s impeachment). We blame the other side while Congress gets away w/ doing nothing. The FBI does criminal investigations. Not congress. Don’t let ‘em fool ya.

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@IanZoell @glennbeck @RandPaul It’s never going to happen. This is all smokescreen for never actually doing what congress is supposed to be doing. They talk about smaller government. Creating Investigators and hearings is the opposite - especially when we know nothing will be done.

@jordanbpeterson Didn’t Foucault prove that the entire field of psychology IS a system of racism and inequality? Seems to me the APA should just close up shop at this point. 😂

@RickyRo65639124 @ducktales2020 @bijou531 @OPBTOL @mshannabrooks It’s not the drug dealer’s fault. It’s the system, the man, some white women, some rich non-white folks. It’s not the author’s parents, relatives, teachers, professors etc. It’s society. It’s no one. Someone should do something. Just not us.

@RickyRo65639124 @rantmission @OPBTOL @mshannabrooks This should have more liked 😂

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@OPBTOL @mshannabrooks Some people choose to live in poverty and RVs/cars/tents etc. As Tom Waits sang “When I see the price that you pay - I don't wanna grow up.” Idk. Parts of the essay make my skin crawl. I’m not just some ignorant product of my childhood who doesn’t know what’s good for me.

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@TheEpicDept It’s true. I have a truck, but I also have chickens and I paid less than $1,000 for the truck and only use it to haul stuff around and it does not have a double cab (ridiculous). I see a lot of people in Portland driving trucks to go skiing or to the grocery store 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@latelycait Congrats. In what field is your second doctorate?

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@TheRealHoarse NOPE. Not going to boycott news that has people I don’t agree with. We need to see what and how the other half thinks. Especially now - Trump received the second most votes in US election history and controls the Republican Party. If we cont to ignore and live in an echo chamber

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@mayhem_muppet @BloxiesGame @Thinknoodles @realDonaldTrump Ha! Good to see a true conservative speaking up on this Bs!

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@emilycureton Though it doesn’t fall on you. I think you try to be balanced. I am commenting to you for that reason. Because you are obviously trying and succeeding. Some of@your colleagues aren’t trying at all. You’re a small group and you’ve been around. So if we can’t raise this to you, ?

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@emilycureton I read through the comment section following your article on this topic. Every single one is talking about how stupid the eastern Oregon Republicans are. Comment sections often reflect the tone of the news. CNN comments tend to be more balanced (and that seems nuts to me 😂🤷🏻‍♂️)

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@emilycureton Thank u. I read it. My frustration was listening to Tiffany asking you Qs - derisive even chuckling.

My point is: Journalists can bring people back together. OPB in particular has always been good at it. But now @OPBTOL is shifting away from balance — ? to please PDX listeners?

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@emilycureton Trevor Noah gets it

[Mike Monroe @cntryMikeMonroe]

@emilycureton Just don’t pretend you’re not biased. That way people know you are and hopefully they won’t keep turning on OAN Network or Trump Twitter as a news source bc “OPB is just as bad.” Get some integrity
