Theo the Trump employee Episode 23 Car as the equalizer


                Theo works for the Trump White House and he is taking a vacation to visit his brother in Lake Oswego, Oregon, which is an affluent suburb of Portland.  He has seen various videos from Andy Ngo and others about ANTIFA terrorizing the city of Portland.  Theo’s sister-in-law downplays the threat and says it is just liberal propaganda as they focus on six people who don’t do anything.  She bolsters her point by saying that she works in downtown Portland and has never seen an ANTIFA member.  Theo is unconvinced.  He boards the plane and takes the trans-national flight to Portland.  Every time he does this flight he always thinks that if he went East instead of West, he’d be in London.  This is only interesting to him because he would never dream about going to London for a long weekend but that is exactly what he’s doing to go to Portland now. 

                While on the plane, a man next to him sparks a conversation.  Theo talks with him and quickly realizes that he’s a native of Portland.  The Portland man’s name is Nick.  Nick asks, “Are you from DC?”

                “I live there now but I’m from New York.” Truth is Theo never knew how to answer this question.  He was born in North Carolina, moved to Cleveland when he was three.  He then went to college in New York City and stayed there for 14 years and then moved to DC for this job.  He lived in Cleveland and New York about the same amount of time so he always thought those two were his choices.  Some, however, claimed that you always go by where you were born.  The thing is, Theo had no memories of living in North Carolina so saying he was from there solely because he was born there was odd to him. 

                “Ah, you’ll find people are much nicer in Portland” Nick responded

                “I’ve been to Portland a few times.  They just pretend to be nice but I’ve never seen a bar fight in New York and I’ve already seen three in Portland.  Given how much time I’ve spent in the two cities, this is pretty remarkable.”

                “I don’t know where you’re going.  People never fight in Portland”

                “Really?  You have an anti-1st amendment terrorist organizations that has conquered your city.”

                “ANTIFA doesn’t stand for ‘Anti-First Amendment’ it stands for Anti-Fascists”

                “I don’t care what they call themselves, it’s your actions that define you.  There’s a Greek terrorist organization called November 17.  It’s not a very violent name but they are a violent organization so I call them what they are a gang or a terrorist organization.  ANTIFA physically attacks people with pepper spray, knives and liquid concrete if they don’t agree with them.”

                “Social media exaggerates their presence.  You probably won’t see them”

                “Especially because I’m staying in Lake Oswego”

                Nick’s eyes widened.  Theo expected this.  He always got the same reaction.  “Why are you staying there?”

                “My brother lives there”

                “Your brother must be rich then.  That’s the rich part of town.”

                Theo had been told this by every Uber driver or person from Portland but not from Lake Oswego.  The only people he knew to deny this is his family members.  Theo rented a car partly because his brother refused to pick him up from the airport citing that he had kids and it’s hard to get away.  Although Theo wasn’t unfamiliar with this coastal hospitality, it did infuriate him.  If he was flying across the country to see you, he argued, the least you can do is pick him up from the airport.  Upon getting the car, Theo decides to take the hour long drive to the coast to see the ocean.  While walking the beach, he meets two guys who randomly come up to him.  A little known fact about Oregon is that although the population of Portland far outnumbers the other cities combined, the people living by the beach an hour away are vastly conservative.  These are the loggers and lumberjacks that Portland rails against so viciously.  It is not uncommon to find signs on restaurants saying, ‘Hippies should use the side door.’  Theo decides to ask the only non-liberal Oregonians he knows, the people he just met, about how prevalent ANTIFA is.  Dan, one of the people he met, replies, “We’re actually going to go counter-protest them tomorrow.”

                “Oh, I’d love to go to that.”

                “Feel free to join us”

                They exchange information and Theo says he’ll meet them the next day at a pre-arranged meeting spot.  Theo goes to his brother’s house and the next day goes into the city to meet up with Dan.  Dan and Theo have parked near the protest but not in the heart of it as ANTIFA tends to vandalize buildings and cars.  They are wearing neutral clothing and Dan opines, “Come with me, I’ll show you how they are.  You being a bald white guy, you may get harassed but you’ll see that all those liberal Portland people you know lied to you.”

                Dan and Theo walk through the crowd and various white ANTIFA members are screaming at black cops calling them “Uncle Tom”, “race traitor” and “coon”

                Theo goes up to three of them shouting and inquires, “Do you have any cognitive dissonance that you’re white and you’re calling a black guy racist against black people?”

                This unleashed a barrage of screaming and yelling.  One of them calls him a White Supremacist and another calls him a Neo-NAZI.  Theo laughs and rejoins, “Is that because I’m bald?  Is that the only reason you believe this?”

                “Fuck You”

                “Well, that’s a compelling argument.” Theo sarcastically announced

                “Walk away racist”

                Theo and Dan do exactly that.  Dan looks over at Theo and sees he’s laughing.  Dan says, “We need to get back to our cars.  They’ve marked us now.”

                “Yea, that’s a good call but this isn’t going to stay peaceful.  We need to prepare”

                “What do you mean?”

                “You’ll see” Theo stated with a wry smile

                They got back to their cars and Theo grabbed some tools and removed the license plate from his car.  Dan got what he was doing and did the same.  By then, Dan’s friend John had joined them and he had done the same.  Theo got into his car and faced the overpass that they had to walk over.  Theo wanted to be wrong but he was pretty sure he wasn’t.  Sure enough, the cops left the bridge and a mob of ANTIFA members stalked and chased a man wearing a shirt talking about how he hates liberals.  A short girl with pig tails is next to him retreating as the mob shoves and throws things at them.  Although they’re telling them to walk away, they continue to chase them.  Theo has heard that the cops do nothing to protect their citizens from ANTIFA because their commissioner, Outlaw, won’t let them.  They, however, have no problem prosecuting the Proud Boys which is a group devoted solely to defending people against ANTIFA.  This double standard infuriates Theo.  He has no idea if Dan and John are going to follow his lead but he can’t take this anymore.  It’s one thing to attack the guy wearing an “I hate Liberals” cape but watching a bunch of men attack a woman enrages him to the core.  The girl looks no more than 12-years-old.  He drives his car out and towards the mob.  Dan and John follow behind him in single file.  They haven’t spoken to each other but they all have a certain understanding how this is going to work.  They single file passed the girl and the guy and then immediately John and Dan pull up parallel to Theo so they’re blocking the whole bridge.  The mob starts throwing things at their cars as they are used to stopping traffic and accosting drivers before.  Unfortunately for them, this time the driver’s don’t give a rat’s ass about them.  Theo presses down on the pedal and John and Dan are close behind.  Although they’re wearing masks, the three patriots can see the anger in the mob’s eyes that turns to fear as they realize that they aren’t stopping but only speeding up.  The ones in the back manage to turn and head the other direction but the three cars plow into the masked people leading the group and don’t stop until they reach the end of the bridge.  Theo kicked the car in reverse and tests out the shocks of the car as he drives over the fallen terrorists.  John and Dan are just a couple seconds behind.  They all put their cars in drive again and roll back over them before turning on the street and driving away.  Since the cops allowed the mob to attack the two non-leftists, they weren’t around to see John, Theo and Dan protect them.  Dan goes ahead of Theo and Theo and John follow him to a parking garage.  In the garage, they put the license plates back on.  They leave the parking lot and go to a restaurant to get something to eat. 

                Dan decides that it’s less suspicious if they actually talk about the protest.  He declares, “I wonder what causes people to think it’s okay to attack people with pellet guns, pepper spray and liquid concrete just because they don’t agree with you.”

                Theo offers, “I call it the sophomore syndrome.  What happens that in High School, the freshman get picked on and bullied by the non-freshman.  Then next year, when they’re sophomores, they feel like since they were bullied last year, they’ve earned the right to bully the current freshman.  Sophomores are much meaner than the seniors to freshman.”

                “I’m not sure if that’s how it works in high school anymore but I see your point.  All these people were probably bullied so they feel they’re allowed to bully other people because of what they went through.”

                “Yea, it would be nice if people just learned that they didn’t like what happened to them so they shouldn’t do it to other people”

                “That would just be ridiculous” John pronounced sarcastically. 

                Theo smiled and nodded, “I know right?”

                After an hour the three of them decided to go to their cars and risk driving them out.  They didn’t see any police cars that seemed to be waiting for them to leave.  They separated and Theo drove back to Lake Oswego.  The next day, all over the news was the ‘tragedy’ of the protestors being mowed down.  Of course the news organizations made it seem like ANTIFA were peacefully protesting when blood thirsty evil conservatives mowed them down.  Paulina, Theo’s sister-in-law said, “Oh my God, that’s horrible”

                “Not really” Theo calmly articulated

                “How can you condone that?  Those are human beings”

                “The same way I don’t cry when ISIS, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, the Bloods, the Crips, MS-13, November 17 or any other gang or terrorist organization dies.”

                “They weren’t doing anything”

                “They were chasing a guy and a little girl down the street pelting them with stuff.”

                “I saw the same video you did” Paulina cried out angrily

                Theo muttered softly, “No, you didn’t” as he took out his phone and showed her the videos he pulled off of twitter from on lookers and people like Andy Ngo that document the atrocities committed by ANTIFA, ‘You just watched the bias Fake News videos”

                Paulina watches the video and declares, “I see nothing that justifies being flattened by cars.”

                “They attacked a girl that looks no more than 12”

                “That girl is an adult”

                “No she’s not”

                “Yes, she is, she just looks young.”

                “Well, I’m not very good at that game but I still think it’s pitiful when a bunch of men threaten and chase a woman.  So yea, good riddance.”

                “ANTIFA is not a terrorist organization”

                “Yes they are”

                “Why?  Because Trump said so?” she mocked

                “No, because they use weapons to attack unarmed people in restaurants and other public places, they hold up traffic and terrorize people in a very Fascist or Alinsky-esque way”

                “So criminality doesn’t bother you?  You don’t believe in the rule of law?”

                “The cops have consistently ignored them.  It’s not their fault, it’s Outlaw’s fault but the cops left the area leaving those two people to fend for themselves against an angry violent mob.  Thank God that three people came to help them.  Look at the videos again; as they stalk them, they keep looking behind them to see if the mob is following because they’re still too much of pussies to fight the guy one on one.”

                “I’m just incredulous that you don’t care what’s happening to our country because of Trump”

                “I’m shocked that you don’t care about what happened to Trump.”

                “What do you mean?”

                “The deadly triangle of Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele and Nellie Ohr with Bruce Ohr in the center of it.  It was political surveillance on a major party candidate.  The 4th highest member of the DOJ, Bruce Ohr, is laundering information from Fusion GPS, whom his wife Nellie works for to the FBI.  Then, after British MI6 agent Christopher Steele is fired for being a non-credible source, Ohr meets with him to be a middle man between Steele and the Kremlin.  But who cares if someone’s civil rights are violated so long as it’s someone you don’t like.”

                “That deep state conspiracy shit that Fox News always talks about is ridiculous.  It doesn’t exist.”

                “Didn’t you say that ANTIFA didn’t really exist either?  It was only like five people?  More than five people were hit by cars at the protest.”

                “No, I just said there weren’t many of them.”

                “Well, I was there, you’re wrong on that too.  Excuse me if I don’t think you’re a credible source on what exists and what doesn’t since you don’t even know about the hordes of people in the city you work in.”

                Paulina gave Theo a dirty look and shook her head.  She sighed and said, “Fine, I’ll bite.  You’re precious John Durham and Bill Barr are looking at the time period March – July 2016.  That’s pointless because the investigation wasn’t even open then.”

                “That’s precisely why they picked those dates because you liberals keep screaming not to look before July 30.  Something must have happened before July 30 that proves that the investigation had started much earlier, which would make Brennan and Comey guilty of perjury.”

                “What is it you think happened between March and July then?”

                “The British were passing information to the DOJ in order to hurt Trump.  Obama asked the British through Bob Hanigan and Richard Dearlove to spy on the Trump campaign since he couldn’t because of those pesky United States laws.  When the British failed, Hillary Clinton paid the law firm Perkins Coie to pay Fusion GPS to dig up oppositional research against Donald Trump.  Hanigan and Dearlove recommended their former agent Christopher Steele since he was already an FBI informant so they would trust his information more so than Glenn Simpson since he did good work on the FIFA case.”

                “If any of that were true, it would be all over the news”

                “It is, just not fake news.  Except CNN slipped when they wrote an article on October 30 saying that there was an October surprise that could sink Trump.  All this information was in there.  How did CNN know that?”

                “Well if CNN is a liberal propaganda organization like you claim, why would they print an article that refutes the FBI and CIA position that nothing came out before the election?” Paulina fired back smugly. 

                Theo maintained his calm tone “Two reasons: One, they though the collusion hoax was real since British sources they had confirmed it but they were all getting it from the same people.  Secondly, they thought Hillary would win and she would just sweep it under the rug”

                “So, you think CNN thought they’d be rewarded and vindicated for what they did?”

                “Yes”

                “I can’t talk to you about this shit.  You’re just so far gone, it’s a waste of breath.”

                “You have not made any points or facts to refute me.”

                “I don’t even know where to begin.”

                “Find one falsehood.”

                “It’s not worth the effort, there’s just so much wrong with what you said.”

                Theo’s brother Kwsta sat down and asked, “Alright, so do know that the investigation started when MIfsud met with Papadopoulos and told him about Hillary’s e-mails?”

                “This whole conversation is about how that is under dispute.  The mainstream media has gas lighted you on that to brainwash and manipulate you but that may not be the truth.”

                “Well, humor me.  We both studied economics.  In economics, you always make assumptions to simplify the world so let’s just pretend that CNN, NBC, ABC, Washington Post, NY Times etc etc. couldn’t possibly all be wrong and that is when it started.”

                “Fine, fake news isn’t fake.  It is a ridiculous assumption but I’ll oblige you.  What do you want to know?”

                “Well Mifsud was linked to Russian assets, so the optics are bad.”

                “You don’t know that”

                “What?  It’s all over the news”

                “No, they’re pretty quiet about Mifsud.  If he was a Russian asset, why did his lawyer, Stephen Roe, say that his client was told to connect with Papadopoulos and all his contacts are with friendly organizations; namely England and Italy?”

                “Lawyers lie for their clients all the time.”

                “Not under Oath.”

                “If you give an interview, you’re not under Oath”

                “You can be.  And the lawyer was.  He gave a deposition, which is always under oath.  In his deposition he said that Mifsud was working with friendlies.”

                “You just have an answer for everything but there’s a reason why your sources aren’t mainstream”

                “Yea, because liberals own the TV and movies.  And yet, conservatives still outperform them in ratings.”

                “Let’s go grab a drink”

                Theo and Kwsta left and went to a bar.  Their conversation continued at the bar and a redheaded girl came up to them.  She smiled and offered, “Sorry for eavesdropping but I’m interested in this as well and most people get really mad when you ask questions.”

                Theo smiled, “Yea, people in Portland are only nice if you agree with them.  If not, they turn into violent, angry, assholes.” The girl laughed and Theo continued, “I’m Theo”

                “Jamie”Jamie was 5’6” with a freckled face and long hair.  Her torso was skinny with not too many curves to boast with.  It gave her a young cute look.  Jamie continued, “Do you think Obama was in on it?”

                “Absolutely, no doubt in my mind.”

                “Why are you so sure?”

                “Well the lead investigator of the FBI was texting his mistress Lisa Page, who also worked for the FBI that POTUS wants to know everything we’re doing.’ He goes on to say that the White House is running this.”

                “Oh, well they didn’t specifically say it was about setting up Trump”

                “What do you think it was about?  Their affair?”

                “Maybe”

                “Unlikely.  Here’s another way I know though.  Brennan has admitted that he kept congress appraised of his actions against trump.  He says that he personally briefed the gang of eight including McConnell, Harry Reid and Diane Feinstein in consultation with the White House.  What do you think that means?”

                “Same thing, you don’t know what he briefed them on.”

                “Yes, I do because McConnell is a Republican and he confirmed it was about the Russian collusion hoax and he wants them all declassified so we can see into it.  You can keep calling it ‘circumstantial’ but all cases are built on circumstantial evidence that individually may be suspicious but taken together it seems unlikely there are other explanations.”

                “I don’t know, I just don’t think President Obama would do that.”

                “Have you ever met him?”

                “No, but he just seems so cool”

                “So you don’t know him and can’t really judge him from giving political speeches.  He could be an asshole, you don’t know.  He is a politician, it’s his job to always engage with people. “

                “I’m just saying, I don’t think he could kill someone.”

                “Well, I do.”

                “Alright then”

                The conversation switched to lighter topics and before Theo knew it, it was time to go back to DC.  He drops off the rental car and heads to the gate.  Sitting down, he hears a man remark, “Why is Curt Schilling talking about guns?”

                “Why not?” Theo fires back

                “He’s a retired athlete, what does he know about issues?”

                “Do you support Colin Kaepernick?”

                “Well, he’s fighting for social justice. He’s a brave courageous man.”

                “it’s not brave and courageous when everyone cheers you for it.  Much harder to be a Trump –supporter like me because we get viciously attacked all the time by the left.”

                “Fine but Schilling lies”

                “How did he lie?”

                “He said the CDC reported that guns were used for self-defense 2.5 million times a year.”

                “I believe that.”

                “Well, Punditfact said it was only mostly true”


                “That’s wrong.”

                “Whatever, bottom line is Schilling lied, I have the article right here” as he handed Theo his phone. 

                Theo looks at the article and points out, “Look, he says ‘mostly false’ but the only reason they give for false was that it was the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, not the CDC”

                “That can’t be the only reason.”

                Theo pulled up the article and found that Schilling was exactly right as it says between 2.2 and 2.5 million instances.  He shows it to the man and points it out.”

                The man throws his hands up and exclaims, “Yea but this is a Fall 2015 study.  That’s a long time ago.  Things change.”

                “Reading a number is the same all the time but whatever.”

                “Punditfact is good, I doubt they would give a ‘mostly false’ rating just for getting the wrong name of the source of your information.”

                “You do when you’re conservative.”

                “Oh, that’s horse shit.”

                “Really?  Then how come there’s nothing about Elizabeth Warren saying Michael Brown was murdered?”

                “Because he was” the man burst out angrily

                ‘Not according to Obama’s chief justice investigator Eric Holder.  Holder said he wasn’t murdered and the cops didn’t act inappropriately.”

                “Cops always get away with killing black people.”

                “Cops kill twice as many white people as they do black people.”

                “There you go, they’re homicidal maniacs”

                “Nope, I’d argue almost all of them are justified.”

                “Well then, I’m not going to talk to you.  Good bye.”

                “Bye”

                After a little bit, the plane boards and Theo sits down.  A college age boy sits down and he looks angry.  Theo asks, “Wow, you look pissed.  Tough time through security?”

                “No, I just found out the Democrats are suing the EPA”

                “Alright, so why does that upset you?”

                “This will make it harder for the EPA to regulate CO2” he exclaimed with a hint of annoyance that he had to explain it to Theo. 

                “Who cares? It’s not a real problem”

                Theo knew that Oregon is probably the worst place to say this as it may be the greenest city in the world with a vast majority of people staunch environmentalists but he loved baiting them.  “So you’re a science denier”

                “No, but you’re a brainwashed college kid right?”

                “No, I’m woke”

                “Really? So you think CO2 is a poison?”

                “Everyone know that” the kid said arrogantly.

                “Do you know that plants breathe it in and you breathe it out?”

                “Ummm, yea, I’m not stupid”

                “So, if you have so much of it in your body that you breathe it out every time you breathe and plants use it for photosynthesis to survive, how can it be a poison when it seems to give life?”

                “It’s a greenhouse gas and causes climate change”

                “The atmosphere is almost all Nitrogen.  There’s a lot of oxygen too.  CO2 makes up a tiny percentage.  You think controlling a tiny percentage of what’s in the atmosphere is going to have drastic effects?  More CO2, more plants.  It’s that simple.”

                “No, CO2 is a poison”

                “Now who’s the science denier?”

                “The United States is destroying our planet due to our massive amounts of CO2 emissions”

                “That is a ridiculously retarded and asinine statement if you know the facts”

                “What are you talking about?”

                “From 2005 – 2017, CO2 emissions have declined by 14% in the United States.  This is compared to 21% globally.”

                “That’s because of our efforts”

                “’our’ meaning liberals?”

                “Yes”

                “How do you figure when CO2 fell 5x more in Ohio and 4X more in Pennsylvania then it did in Los Angeles that banished coal?  It seems like in liberal dominated cities, the carbon footprint is way bigger than in Republican controlled areas.  Go figure.”

                “Fuck you.  I’m going to go to sleep”

                “That sounds like a fantastic idea”

                The two of them didn’t say another word the entire flight.  Theo went home and went to sleep on his bed.  He was really exhausted.  The next day, he went to work as normal.  Nobody could tell who was driving the cars that killed the ANTIFA members.  After a month, Theo no longer feared that he’d be arrested for it.  As for Portland, nothing really changed.  The police still protected ANTIFA and arrested the Proud Boys.  Only time will tell if the Portland police will be allowed to do their jobs or if Outlaw would continue to allow lawless activity in her town so long as it’s done by ANTIFA.
