@KOINNews I'm 6th generation Portlander and I'm in the middle of moving to Virginia. Taxes, homelessness, and graffiti. Our estate tax is the worst in the nation. All my children left because of the freak show culture here and cost of living.
@micah_erfan That’s because the Dems had to admit their utter failure by legalizing hard drugs in Oregon. Hundreds of unnecessary deaths. It’s down 40% from a huge Dem created surge.
@WolfgangRichtEU Wolfgang Richter, as in “rich-er”. Are you richer than the rest of us Wolfie? Time to pay the piper. I’ll DM my wire transfer info. Dankeschon.
