4. (00:29:52) Magical solstice, You dirty hippies. lol. Much love Fiance.. Can we just say that measure 110 is working? Didn't you see those tiny villages LOL? It's working to put money in their pockets.
5. (00:30:55) On recriminalization, i love how the blame shifts but the story stays the same. It's almost like they don't want to solve the underlying problems bc they love using them to justify their own regressive agendas however is convenient at any given moment
6. (00:32:55) Fandom Expo is coming up and ya Boy Rudes is hosting a panel on building the HorrOregonian 2024! Whatchoo got??

9. (00:43:08) Where is my next day service delivery? Huh? I want it now

11. (00:47:19) I'll take a weed tax rebate
12. (00:55:30) Morgan when you running? I'm trying to be on your campaign team
13. (01:00:33) You'd be impactful 😬🫶🏽 I'll be in wings waiting 😅
14. (01:01:47) Telling Robert Palmer from Peter Gabriel
15. (01:01:59) Speaking of teams though, when ya gonna have news about adding volunteers?
16. (01:03:09) Sennabella is her name.💙
17. (01:03:19) Oops! Slept in this morning and missed most of the show, but I want to wish my Thursday Friends the happiest holiday season ever. Thanks for making it a little easier to be a morning person. ❤️
18. (01:03:48) I’m a local one person business owner. My truck was stolen from my driveway in broad daylight, loaded with tools. It almost bankrupted me. The police tell me to look for it myself. The city spends its time reminding us to pay art taxes and building new bike lanes. What happened to this town? For decades it was known as a premiere west coast city and no one sees it that way anymore.
19. (01:11:29) When you apply for Social security and they tell you. You have too much resources because you have a Life Insurance Policy. So shit needs to change. Morgan, I believe it is the idea. Of a person with your mentality in our leadership roles. And you're trusted. Thank you for always bringing a pocket full of truth to us in the morning.💙
20. (01:12:09) Bike lanes? Try the police budget for putting unhoused people's belongings in the trash over and over again, or abusing protesters, or protecting a Starbucks. Meanwhile they have only ever RARELY been good for anything for everyday people in these theft situations than file paperwork for insurance and shrug.
21. (01:22:33) The cop that was fired was probably the cop that punched the kid. bastards smh
22. Morgan in politics- you are too good a person to enter the arena of death, I wouldn't wish that on you, but you are damn good speaking truth to power.
23. And f*** that JUDGE!!! And Renee
24. I have to go to work on my day off. But it's good because I got NWMF.
25. All of this is why we know you would be incredible but I'll leave you be. I get it 🖤
