Fires can spread uncontrollably and if we don't have water to fight it we could be looking at another Paradise CA.

When the heat and smoke levels are elevated I can't breath, I can't get out and enjoy nature, I can't get out and do anything. I physically shut down. The snow is hard to navigate. But you can ilve

Smokey summer brings health issues to the impaired with compromised systems. Snow will always melt away.

We're stuck here in the cold and snow. With smoke we can get out of town if need be!

Smoke is more damaging for your health, the environment and the animals. It has a longer lasting and damaging effect on the ecosystem .

Smoky summers mean poor forest management. It's months and months, whereas the snow is only a couple of weeks.

Smokey summer was horrible enough to pollute our air quality so much it made our air toxic. I’ll take the snow any day! No problem there.

Snow is natural and fun. No fun in smoke, Finally, smoke is dangerous to human, but individuals create their own hazard in winter.

Snow is beautiful...you can play in it, exercise from shoveling, brings neighbors out helping each other, and so so much more. There is not ONE thing good about smoke in the air.

The smoky summers active my Migraines, so I would much rather dig myself out from a huge snow storm then be down for weeks with a migraine!

I can't stand the smoke. Snow is awesome and shoveling just crushes calories. Then I don't feel guilty for enjoying a beer or three.

Playing outside in the smoke is terrible. You can play in the snow wherever you are and make winter more fun. Summer gets ruined with smoke

The Oregon government and local police force has done a HORRIBLE job at keeping crime down, protecting cities, citizens and federal agents. If they can't do their job, TRUMP WILL.

Oh yeah, Trump did a great protecting when he incited the riot at the Capital on January 6th. Then had the unmitigated gall to pardon his MAGA idots for their crimes. What a guy...

Trump's a big man-baby... needs to get his own house in order before sticking his nose in our business...and what's -her -name is just a mouthpiece...no original thought on anything...

I usually spend a number of days each month in the Portland area, including downtown. Having worked in downtown Portland for many years, yes it's not what it once was. Having said that, it's definitely not a "war zone" and nothing like Trump and his minions would like you to think.

A bunch of crap from the Trump administration that hopes to incite a violent response that justifies the use of violence and military action. Illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. Get them out!

Because the exaggeration of conditions in Portland, LA, memphis and Chicago is nowhere near the actual events. He and his henchpeople including traitor dereamer are only creating a reason to occupy american cities and attack the democrats.

It’s a very small minority that’s causing a problem and for the most part, the marches are peaceful and none-combative. Portland’s problems, generally speaking; are the homeless sleeping on the streets and trashing the area, and not people marching in the streets.
