To paraphrase the great George Carlin, yeah, you’d like to welcome him, but you never do! (That’s from Carlin’s bit about the airlines creating a new grammatical person in English: “First Person Removed”.) ---

octopus has been trolling at will in the Feds black bagging in Portland thread. Evidence free claims about protesters, mass slander of “leftists”, counterfactual claims about the whole situation, all with zero cites. Just typical octopus posting, in other words. > [@Feds 'black-bagging people' in Portland](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/feds-black-bagging-people-in-portland/915638): > > Ok. Without us getting into a fight…can someone tell me what laws are being broken? What Constitutional rights are being infringed? Supposedly, the Feds are: Not identifying themselves Not carrying anything that identifies them as Feds or Officers of the law (False in some cases) Not reading rights Locking people up without charges My response: Do they have to?

Voters do not agree that every ticket must have a protected class candidate… I think if Biden picks a woman, Trump will beat her again. And we all know how much Trump likes to beat women. In elections, of course. He would never physically assault a woman himself. Not with those baby hands, anyway. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > **JohnT** ’s memory spots one who, despite the username, doesn’t actually seem to be making any progress: Not true. I see that he has added a few names to the list of things he is ignorant and incurious about. With his current momentum vector, I suspect he will have forgotten the entirety of the Trump administration by Jan 21st, and will then be free to criticize a new administration with no self awareness of his hypocrisy. ---

Well isn’t that nice. **Kswiss** comes in the Portland black-bagging thread, [lays a turd](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/feds-black-bagging-people-in-portland/915638/956), and successfully gets the thread temporarily closed by attracting so many flags. Kind of ironic, because one of the topics of that thread is bad actors who are able to thwart legitimate protests by being assholes. ---
