>Republican lawmakers in Oregon are in hot water after they refused to partake in a historic vote Thursday to implement a cap-and-trade program to help rein in industrial carbon emissions.
>Gov. Kate Brown authorized the state police to round up the 12 Republicans who walked out of the Capitol in protest of the bill and bring them back to the Senate floor for a vote. If passed the measure will make Oregon the second state in the country after California to implement such a program.
>"After many hours of well-intentioned, respectful negotiations on Wednesday, the Senate has come to an impasse. The Senate Republicans have decided to abandon their duty to serve their constituents and walk out," Brown said. "The Senate Democrats have requested the assistance of the Oregon State Police to bring back their colleagues to finish the work they committed to push forward for Oregonians. As the executive of the agency, I am authorizing the State Police to fulfill the Senate Democrats’ request.
>Republican representatives pushed back on the governor's reprimand.
>"Protesting cap-and-trade by walking out today represents our constituency and exactly how we should be doing our job,” Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger Jr., of Grants Pass, said in a statement Thursday morning. “We have endured threats of arrest, fines and pulling community project funds from the governor, Senate president and majority leader. We will not stand by and be bullied by the majority party any longer."
Funny how the Democrats have done this dozens of times, and never had a police manhunt after them.
>Funny how the Democrats have done this dozens of times, and never had a police manhunt after them. You mean Democrats follow the constitution while Republicans throw a fit when they lose and use militia groups to threaten people. Shocking...
But seriously why is this issue pissing Republicans off so much? If you use a diesel generator for mass electrical needs you should pay out the ass.
>would raise gasoline prices 22 cents a gallon by 2021 Fucking shit Republicans learn what proportional response means. The south is forcing state sponsored rape babies and you are pissed about this?
Leo Evans
That's fake news, you fucking nigger. Republican white men showed up with guns and stopped the commies in their tracks.
leave our board and don't come back kike shareblue shill
Eli Morgan
Come on if you live in Oregon you know how bad the drivers are here. Require the fuckers to show they know how to drive and drive safely. The Republican wet dream of deporting 10 million people is not going to happen. I live in reality and deal with the issues as they exist.
Mason Perry

Do you have any idea how many antifa protests there are in Oregon every year? They shut down parts of major cities almost 5 times a year, every year.
Eli Bennett
Yea, lets see how that works out...again.
So the issue comes down do fuck democrats for winning the election. Thanks for the confirmation that's all I was looking for.
Back under Obama the Democrats ran from a vote in this state. They are fucking hypocrites and tyrants. The only way this ends properly is with the MILITIA storming the Capitol and arresting this cunt
Lincoln Robinson
Protesting so large the roads get slowed is different then threatening violence because people are doing what people elected them to do. That's terrorism.
Wyatt Smith
And then walked it right back at the last minute to the surprise of absolutely no one who is paying attention to his antics. Like most people on Jow Forums said when he announced it, "imagine actually believing this."
Look up "May Day Riots" in Portland, they completely shut down Downtown and caused millions in damage. Many were arrested, but all had their cases dropped. Courts are packed with commies here, appointed by this lesbian crypto-kikess.

Need to start sending them tons of illegals. Once a few of those antifacows get gang raped by Julio and his pals, they will begin to infight over if reporting them is racist. It’ll take care of itself.
Aiden Price
Holy shit that's what your pissed about? The alt right goes into Portland looking for a fight and some people got punched. There was no MILLIONS in damages just some assholes punching each other and throwing fireworks.
Shit my college set a police car on fire just for fun and was more of a riot then this. youtu.be/UFy1JL1pQwQ
William Ward
Climate tax never lasts.
It's a silly virtue signal law and once the normies realize they don't have as much money for booze, cigs and stuff for the kids, they vote it out.
Aiden Martinez
I am not doing shit. But they did break their duty and it is within the right to arrest them. This is just the laws playing out and Republicans knew what they were doing and fled the state.

Camden Martinez
>Proportional Response To you think this is it? Do you think this will end at the cap and trade bill if the republicans come back? The republicans walked out because nobody in the Senate chamber gave two fucks about the opinion of the people that this bill effects the most. Believe it or not, in the last few days I have talked to lifelong oregon democrats who agree with what the republicans are doing right now. This bill would seriously fuck up the employment situation in oregon worse than it already is. Kate Brown and the oregon democrats took control of Salem and proceeded to abuse their power like a kid who found his dad's gun. Tacking "emergency" clauses on all of their bills to avoid them having to go to a vote by the people. Think about that; everyone keeps saying that these senators are not representing the people by what they are doing. It this bill had the support of the people, they would have put it on the ballot and it would pass. But they know that it would not pass because it does not have the support of the people, therefore, these Republican senators are currently representing the collective will of about 2/3 of the state of oregon. If they have to break a few rules in order to do it, oh well. Lawmakers break the law all the time, at least this time they are doing It for the people.
Chase Rogers
>Republican senators are currently representing the collective will of about 2/3 of the state of oregon Oregon currently has a democrat supper majority. If this shit is SOOO bad they will lose the next election. Do you really want Democrats doing this same shit when Republicans have control? Every bill they oppose run across state lines to Washington?
This is not how you run a sate. I agree they have gone too far and will pay in the next election but that is why we have elections.
Cooper Perez
Democrats in Texas did exactly this a few years ago to prevent the state legislature from having a quorum. The Republicans however did exactly what the governor of Oregon is doing and sent out the Texas Rangers to arrest the Democrats. Woo yeah, both side do this crap. Also antifa is the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party so it's dumb to whine about white Republicans showing up with guns.
Noah Brooks
Democrats of this state including Kate Brown did this in 2001.
Isaiah Sanchez
Pro tip for those saying they are neglecting their duties, a lot of their constituents asked them to do exactly this, deny the quorum. It was done earlier this year to kill a gun control bill. It’s legitimately the only way for them to defeat bills that disproportionately affect Oregon’s rural counties. The majority of their constituents are Republicans with a side of libertarian, otherwise, there’s no way they would be elected in Oregon. They are doing exactly what they are wanted to do.
I’m a brainlet, why don’t they just have a law where if you refuse to show up to a bills hearing it automatically counts it as you voting ‘nay’? why is them walking out different than them just voting against the bill?
I agree that it isn't how you shoud run a state. This is the inevitable end to extreme polarization of political parties. The Oregon Democrat used to be pro-gun, pro-labor, pro-logging as long as it was done without tearing up the countryside and replanted. Industry was welcome as long as pollution was kept to a reasonable minimum. These people still exist, but their voice is drowned out by the Oregon neo-democrats who want everything outside portland to grind to a halt so they can have places to bicycle and feel good about themselves. It isn't a normal situation so it calls for an abnormal solution.
Leo Price
Because then opposition parties would do dumb shit like schedule votes in 3 hours when members were out of the country or couldn't make it. Legislators behave like ignorant children drunk on their own power, so they need a bunch of strict procedural rules to prevent literal anarchy from breaking out in the state house.
“Send bachelors and come heavily armed” State Sen. Brian Boquist (R) said Wednesday before the walk-out began. “I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon.” If Boquist meant it as a rallying cry for Oregon’s anti-government extremists, it worked. The Oregon III%, a collection of local chapters that’s part of a nationwide movement of anti-government militias, issued a blaring call to action on Facebook and said leadership had voted “to provide security, transportation and refuge for those Senators in need.” Various militia members refused to speak to TPM, citing an organization-wide blackout. But someone who identified themselves as an Oregon III% public information officer — he refused to give TPM his name, “out of threat of retaliation from Oregon State Police or any other law enforcement entity” — claimed that more than 200 militiamen from 17 counties had mobilized within the state and around the Oregon-Idaho border. “These people are all armed and prepared to put themselves in front of senators to prevent arrests from Oregon State Police specifically,” he said, also claiming that various militias in Idaho and Nevada had been activated, potentially adding a few dozen more people to the mix.

Antifa is already nothing but infighting. Those useful idiots can't even agree on what to call themselves, which is why there are so many splinter groups, all of who deny the other are "real anarchists" - Portland's Resistance, Rose City Antifa, Portland DSA, Portland IWW, etc.
Sebastian Rogers
Yes, but the kikes are airdropping Mexicans in as fast as possible to dilute them. Many of the less populated Eastern counties are now majority hispanic, just in the last couple of decades.
Jacob Lee
Climate change is fake news by China. How are people unironically trying to waste tax payer money on this fake shit.
Angel Green
Here's the run down.
Hb 2020 proposes a state run EPA since Trump's EPA is a fucking joke. The pubes are afraid this will lead to cap and trade emissions, rather than hard penalties because we all know money fixes climate and oregonians know this more than any. Important thing here is repubs are fear mongering. Basing their argument on slippery slope, worst outcome scenarios. What if scenarios.
OR is going to be a battleground state and Trump plans on visiting. Dems want to get this through to thumb their noses. Repubs want to ensure Oregon being a battleground state hence all the attention for this.
People are spreading effective disinfo because no one can be arsed to read this 100 page bill. And it's real effective.
Dems did the same thing but it was about redistricting, no where as galvanizing as climate change
Normies just want to go along with whatever is promoted on the Kikebook/Instajew with pretty pictures. They see an ad with blue skies and trees that promotes cap-and-trade, and they want it. It's as simple as children wanting the latest candy bar.
Christian Green
The Republican Senators just want this cap and trade bill to go before the voters, but since the dems know it would get voted down they are trying to push it through with an emergency clause. They are also trying to push driver's licenses for illegals which voters already voted against. They already passed a motor voter bill which automatically registers you to vote when getting a license. We are also a vote by mail state, but im sure illegals would never fill out and return a ballot since that would be illegal.
Asher Davis
An 1844 law in Oregon made slave ownership illegal just so whites couldn't import blacks by accident. If you owned a slave you either needed to sell him or turn him loose at the border. If he was caught inside the state lines he would be whipped and expelled.
There are many white folks east of the cascades who would like to bring that law back. It's also not uncommon to hear about city people getting run off the road in the middle of the night while driving down rural highways at night. Rural Oregonians do not like the city people, and are equally pissed about the corporate farms importing a ton of Mexicans.
Nicholas Ross
*riling
Colton Martin
News (((sources))) are reporting on this like the Repubs just wanted to throw a tantrum due to not having the votes to stop it, it's a really disgusting display of bias.
Because this measure would be a huge step towards turning Oregon into California, that's why. Republicans (I'm not one, btw) simply want to put this to a popular vote because it's a massive piece of legislation which would fundamentally change Oregonians' lives for generations to come (and cost them a fuckton of money as well. Oregon is a poor state, relatively speaking, but it's also very white and liberals believe whites should pay out the ass for everything.)
>muh climate change legislation
is just a huge fucking power and control grab by the left. Like George Bush with the Patriot Act, you might say--using some big "thing" as an excuse to take peoples' rights away and again, charge them out the ass for it. You want to have your ten year old automobile confiscated and then you'll be forced to buy a new "eco" car? That's where CA is headed and Kate Brown wants to take Oregon right along with.
Oregonians sure as fuck have a right to vote on that--at the very least. Of course Democrats don't want that to happen. I wonder, now, how many "ecological" or "green" companies who stand to benefit from this act passing are owned by libshits?
Sebastian Hill
Lmao, imagine being so fucking retarded that you seriously believe climate change is not real.
On the other side, I do feel that the regular Joe should not bare the responsibility of paying those taxes. But oh well, as long as the eternal jew runs the show, noone rests from this pain.
You just TRY wearing a MAGA hat in Portland, shill. Do it. Democrats will teach you all about terroristic threats, violence, bullying and oppression.
Nathaniel Walker
I don’t exactly know what that is but it sounds like it would wreck their economy
Aiden Rogers
>trusting elections Don't you know that Oregon's Dem government, and the Dem governments of a number of other states, are literally working to game the next election in their favor by removing the electoral college? Jesus fucking christ user.
These are not normal times. These are revolutionary times. I wish it weren't the case too, but wishing won't help here. It is what it is. Desperate times, desperate measures. We are fighting for our survival here, against both internal enemies (aka traitors) and external forces who are determined to take everything we have, including our country itself. Wake the fuck up before it's too late.
Christopher Collins
Literally true and the same shit's been going on in CA for decades. Our central valley, where most of our agriculture is, is now majority hispanic, to the point that many little old farm towns which were 95% white just a generation or two ago are now 95% Mexican. It's some terrifyingly fast demographic change and it ain't happening by accident. It's easy to just blame Dem politicians (and they deserve it) but the central villains are massive agribusiness corporations, many of which aren't even ultimately American-owned at all. Start digging.
Liberals were RIGHT back in the 80s and 90s when they raged against corporate "culture" and the corporate takeover of the west. They were right but nobody listened, and ultimately liberalism itself fell to the forces of greed and big corporate $$$. These entities and the billionaires behind them fucking OWN both parties really, but especially the Democratic Party.

>would raise gasoline prices 22 cents a gallon by 2021 My god this is just like arresting people without trials and torture. Blow it out your ass.
Harsh words are free speech not terrorism. No one has been killed for wearing a MAGA hat. If I wore a Obama t-shit to a tea party rally I would get people yelling at me. That not terrorism.
>removing the electoral college So what? It only takes effect if a majority of EC states sign on. The electoral college is not fundamental to our system and was only necessary in the early days to let Rhode Island feel more important. Republicans fucked the system by making all the mountain states and giving them a 15-1 vote power over the coasts. The main reason our territories are not states is because Republicans fear losing their small state controls. EC is hurting more then helping so yes we should replace it.
Aaron Martin
I'm not in favor of democracy...it kills the republic...right now the electoral college is one of the very few things standing between mob rule (democracy) and the rule of law (republic)
Connor Jones
Hah, the left are acting like fascists and authoritarians.
John Wilson
Voters approved mandating outdoor classroom time. When it comes to voter mandates voters never see the flip side that has a cost for the things they vote for. Every tax increase gets approved but a sales tax. It is just a bad way to run a state. Look at the bullshit Brexit is in because of voter mandates.
Luis Bailey
>mob rule We still vote for people and not directly on government mandates. That would be retarded I agree.
Hah, Republicans are acting like the world is ending from a tax. Oh wait that's normal.
Lincoln Richardson
Blah. Same shit, different year. If you follow politics, the world is in a permanent state of emergency, but if you don't, pretty much nothing ever changes, except for everything getting slightly worse. We've been in "revolutionary times" with a need to "wake up before it's too late," for about 50 years now, on and off. Relax.
Colton Perez
You fucking lying idiot. Were you even there? I was. Antifa costs millions in damage every year trashing up cities. In Portland that was the most extreme violence that Antifa tried to use against patriots and we gave it back to them worse and defeated you idiots. Fuck you commie piece of shit. We will smash your fucking face in.

i'm with you. nothing changes for the proles.
William Campbell
Portland did not ban us. We are coming whenever we want. You are sipmly just a liar. You know Antifa damages Portland city property and has burn police cars and smashed windows and more you fucking commie. We defeated Rose City Antifa onions boy cucks like you. You are just mad you got your asses kicked so hard when you were so delusional you thought you were going to win.
You didn't kick my ass, you go into Portland looking for a fight with other assholes. I am glad they revoked your permits you are a menace. Get the fuck out of my valley and stay in the Oregon wasteland. Go be poor somewhere else.
>>would raise gasoline prices 22 cents a gallon by 2021 Gasoline in Portland is already $3.50 a gallon, and since our real estate market is already completely fucked (1 bed 1 bath 800sqft run down shack in felony flats going for $200k) and property taxes in Multnomah county are rising, most middle class families are going to take the brunt of the hurt from this. The small business contractors that are making a living currently will be put out of business because they can't afford to upgrade their work truck from a 2007 model to something newer than a 2009. The carbon credits will become increasingly difficult to find, with on-paper-only businesses opening for the sole purpose of buying credits so they can be resold at a profit. This whole bill does nothing but cement large corporations as Oregon's primary employers, and kick the rest aside to fight for the scraps. Do you think those large corporations will hire the small business owners they put out of business? No, they will hire the Mexicans Oregon is harboring for pennies on the dollar and subsidize their existence with food stamps and low income housing. They won't admit it, but the dream of the elite here in oregon is to have the cities become a liberal paradise, well protected from the slums that were once the suburbs that now house the brown slave class. The people that once owned the land east of the cascades were all forced to take buyouts on their land from the corporate farmers and ranchers to avoid foreclosure or tax liens against them and left the state. The whole state would be nothing but one massive corporate farm interspersed with migrant worker villages and cities that housed the ruling rich class. But hey, that's just how democracy works right?

I watched that Netflix documentary about those weed dealers in humboldt county and it looked like that whole Northern California / Southern Oregon area looks like Tennessee and Kentucky. Blew my mind that it was California. Besides some of the toothless people and unsolved crime, it looks like a scenic area. The people seemed so far removed from your typical Californian that it was hard to process.
