Just to clarify the above, I want NOTHING to do with dating, porn, investing or trading of real or fake money, i.e. crypto, joining in groups that espouse sudden wealth or strength, or go funding or otherwise for whatever! I will block all of that. Also, no DM’s means NO DM’S!!! Got it!
Just so everyone knows, Portland is NOT ‘war ravaged’ and doesn’t need any help from the feds.

Tommy Homan’s a racist old troll
With a mass deportation-based goal.
He keeps beating his chest,
But like all of the rest
It’s a lame little cosplaying role.

Actual truth matters! Library of Congress is not selective. They literally Get. Every. Book!
Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.
