It’s getting ugly out there:
Costumed brigades of protesters were out in force again Friday night at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland, and at about 7 p.m., they rolled out a red carpet for an actual wedding.
The bride, resplendent in a unicorn outfit, and the groom, dressed as Kenny from South Park, tied the knot in front of a crowd of about 30 onlookers, some decked out in Care Bear and pickle costumes.
The betrothed Portland couple, who arrived and departed the scene by motorcycle, declined to be identified by name. They said they’d known each other for two decades, started dating more recently, and decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time
I think this is very clever. Normal protesting isn’t working. It’s just giving them an excuse to knock more heads.
I know this doesn’t properly portray the seriousness of what Trump is doing there in Portland. But with all the inane cos-playing in the various Federal police are doing I’m not sure there’s a better way to deal with this. You want costumes? We’ve got costumes! The whole operation there is a joke because Trump ordered the escalation when he saw some footage from 2020 and Stephen Miller took the opportunity to expand his fascist crackdown. I don’t know if it’s possible to embarrass these people but it’s worth a try.
