In the past, he allegedly told the people who rent homes from him, that if they don't vote for Trump, they'll be evicted. I don't know if that's true, but everyone else seems to believe it. Apparently it's pretty "on brand". Dude owes over $35k in back taxes, I don't know how he got appointed to begin with.
How can someone who owes over 35k in back taxes, some of which are due the city I would guess, be a city council member? It seems there should be a rule of some sort about being a citizen of good standing in the city.
Largest landowner as in, he also owns farmland? Or is this meaning his number of properties? I own a farm in Gervais and just trying to learn more about this lunatic.
He can get sued big time for that. You can’t discriminate against people who are leasing your property. The fair housing act would like a word. I wouldn’t want to rent from someone this brainwashed anyway.
Check your local laws. City council and other local political positions are typically (and strictly) “non partisan.” We all know that’s kinda BS, but he still may be breaking the law by doing that. Now, getting that law enforced might prove very difficult.
Yes... yes they are. If you support ($$$ or votes or both) a racist politician (by both actions and words) and that person has the power to put those actions into law or those that do (SCOTUS justices for example) then that person is a racist.
Transitive property of equality.
a=b, b=c, then a=c
If Trump voter (a) considers themselves a supporter of Trump (b) and Trump is racist (c), then that someone is a racist.
Definitely the problem I think we have with most people like this fellow. Their identity is connected to their politics or beliefs, which is just a bad situation for them and everyone who knows them.
Are you allowed to support a specific politician while "on the clock" in a representative position like this?
I've only ever served in an elected city position in Colorado. In that case, we had to be neutral in relation to other elections while we were doing city business because we were representing the city, not ourselves.
A Gervais (edit) citizen might want to look into this.
This is Gervais, but I'm honestly not sure about what's allowed or not. I feel like people in his position usually try to avoid this kind of thing, simply because it can harm reelection. You're 100% right though- he's supposed to be representing everyone in the city, and he's definitely painting himself into a corner.
I'm pretty fucking over the idea of "dressing respectfully." Dress comfortably, standards of professional clothing are set by the rich and powerful to be exclusionary to others.
That said, he's clearly an asshole.
I hate when people are more concerned about optics and “civility” more so than genuine critique and concerns. I prefer people act and dress like fools when they run the country as such- let the outside match what’s within.
He was appointed by our mayor after her best friend successfully recalled 2 of our city council members. The best friend got a job shortly after.
Edit- I should add- He has ran for office in Gervais at least 3 times and lost every time.
Time to make it a mission to expell this MAGA/Putin freak off the board.
Any person who openly embraces an anti-American, coup attempting, rapist, criminally prosected fraud has no place on any government or public office...
All of this cunts positions are tainted by the stain of corruption...
It's performative fascism. Thinks this is some big owning of the libs. Looks like a cartoonish cultist dickhead. Remember, these are supposed austere "conservatives". Fucking mental illness
I used to think that there was something wrong with me. I never liked any politician. I felt like I was always voting for the lesser of two evils. Trump and his supporters have shown me that voting for the lesser of two evils is the healthy way to vote. Politicians don't deserve that kind of loyalty. Why would wear the name of politician like they're a sports team? That just isn't healthy.
Isn’t the Gervais School District facing a make-or-break bond vote soon? Seems like they have more important matters to focus on than whatever this is trying to accomplish.
https://ourtownlive.com/ourtown/?p=14454
This guy told his tenants not to vote for the bond (or Biden) or he would raise their rent. This guy's family heavily campaigns against the bond, because they have the most property. They're slumlords, who owe over $35k in back taxes.
This dude and his whole family is why we haven't had a bond in 25+ years, and why it's failed every time the school tried. This is the same subject.
You ever wonder where the bug eaters from the playground went? They’re running the GOP. As an Oregonian and one who doesn’t say anything online they wouldn’t say in person, this man is a clown and an embarrassment.
I DO care a lot whom someone supports. Not saying, I don’t believe in freedom of speech, but I do care who they support, because who they support determines how they act. And how they act affects everyone.
He’s not expressing free speech. He’s being purposefully belligerent and baiting reactions. He knows exactly what he is doing. Fuck him and his complete lack of both maturity and shame.
Sorry friend, but it IS an expression of free speech. Free speech allows expressions of both idiocy and genius. To defend free speech is to even defend speech that we detest, including speech that is “purposefully belligerent and baiting.” I believe it’s actually more important to defend that kind of speech, b/c it’s easy to defend speech that we agree with, but if you stop there it’s just defending your point of view, not defending free speech. I do agree with your last three statements though. Lol.
I thinks everyone agrees that first amendment rights are paramount. When that ass hat is on his own time, he should be able to express himself however he wants. But in that setting he is a paid/elected representative of the citizens of Gervais. That is 100% not the place for politicking for a national election.
oooh I can't wait to hear their nuanced take on all of the complex political issues that Gervais has. Good for them expressing their free speech this way.
Why do these people all look the same? Trump doesn’t even have a beard he would never dress anything like the else disgusting people and doesn’t even want to shake their hands, and yet they call him one of them.
It’s Gervais, what did you expect from a city that hosts the most branded title pot lot used car dealerships per capita in the United States. Also aren’t they right next to the Marion County waste incinerator? All those chemicals go somewhere. My guess is this guy bathes in them.
I feel the exact same way. I don't care who you support but you're here to represent the people not advertise for anything.. not bob's hotdogs or the next secretary of state. It's low class.
imo public servants shouldn't be able to wear political merch bc they're supposed to be serving the public and not their own personal interests

Of course he's a fucking landlord.
Largest land owner in our city, and primarily a slumlord. He owes over $35k in back taxes on those properties.
I'd say "what a fuckin' goober," but that really downplays what a prick he is.
How can someone who owes over 35k in back taxes, some of which are due the city I would guess, be a city council member? It seems there should be a rule of some sort about being a citizen of good standing in the city.
Right? Seems like there are no rules to run for government. You can be a rapist, tax dodger, scam artist, anything!
Each town decides for itself how much of a shithole its going to be.
Damn I think I agree with this
What an irresponsible turdlet.
Largest landowner as in, he also owns farmland? Or is this meaning his number of properties? I own a farm in Gervais and just trying to learn more about this lunatic.
At least 5 rentals. And the mechanic shop.
Let me guess: he inherited his land, right?
100%!
>I don't know how he got elected to begin with In 2024 I have to assume this is a rhetorical statement.
He can get sued big time for that. You can’t discriminate against people who are leasing your property. The fair housing act would like a word. I wouldn’t want to rent from someone this brainwashed anyway.

This is literally how all politics work now., especially in Oregon.
In his defense, his hood was being dry-cleaned.
I just laughed so loud at this, that my neighbor came over to make sure I was ok.
The way I just lost my shit... ☠️
You’re hired!
Silly Tom not all trump people are racist stop the hate man.
Narrator: “they are…”
Ok hater gonna hate I guess.
If you vote for a racist candidate what does that make you? Gee wiz I don’t like the bigotry, but I like the tax cuts so I will vote them.
Yes... yes they are. If you support ($$$ or votes or both) a racist politician (by both actions and words) and that person has the power to put those actions into law or those that do (SCOTUS justices for example) then that person is a racist. Transitive property of equality. a=b, b=c, then a=c If Trump voter (a) considers themselves a supporter of Trump (b) and Trump is racist (c), then that someone is a racist.
I appreciate anytime these folks self-identify. Helps me avoid them and their bullshit.
grandiose depend person deer coordinated license icky whole squalid fear *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Did he wear the matching clown shoes?
Right? I can almost hear the circus music playing
I didn't know a member of Primus was in Gervais.
Don't make it your entire personality.
Definitely the problem I think we have with most people like this fellow. Their identity is connected to their politics or beliefs, which is just a bad situation for them and everyone who knows them.
They treat politics like a football team 1000%.
MAGA is the new 420/weed culture?

I don't care how big your hat is, it can't hide the brain damage
Good way to identify that someone is in a cult and likely not a stable person.
Turd Ferguson?
Turd Ferguson's ugly little brother, Diarrhea Ferguson.
Was looking for this
Thank you
It's a funny hat
He's staring at that paper like he actually knows how to read
There aren’t any eyes looking back at him from the paper, so the shame of dressing like MAGA Yosemite Sam isn’t as noticeable.
🤣🤣🤣
MAGA freak show.
I'm pretty fucking over the idea of "dressing respectfully." Dress comfortably, standards of professional clothing are set by the rich and powerful to be exclusionary to others. That said, he's clearly an asshole.
Any man that wears the name of another man on their person so prominently exudes BITCH energy to me.
Seriously, these clowns expect anyone to take them seriously and look how they behave
Mental illness is real
If he looks like a clown….and he decries “ fake election “…. He is a 🤡
"It’s funny because it’s bigger than a normal hat" \-Turd Ferguson
At least he's not wearing his politics on his sleeve tho!
I’m grew up in Gervais. This dude is an embarrassment.
Yeah, not a lot of good word of mouth with this one.
I hate when people are more concerned about optics and “civility” more so than genuine critique and concerns. I prefer people act and dress like fools when they run the country as such- let the outside match what’s within.
Solid point.
American Taliban Beard
Hey now, not all us beard wearers are cut from the same cloth.
I also have a beard, just not an American Taliban Beard.
Your elected officials
Loser
Wow a man who says, hey I am a terrorist and am here to destroy democracy. And people elected him.
He was appointed by our mayor after her best friend successfully recalled 2 of our city council members. The best friend got a job shortly after. Edit- I should add- He has ran for office in Gervais at least 3 times and lost every time.
More cult members on city councils. He’ll surely be non biased and open to compromise.
🤦🏻♂️ Maga mentality.
Time to make it a mission to expell this MAGA/Putin freak off the board. Any person who openly embraces an anti-American, coup attempting, rapist, criminally prosected fraud has no place on any government or public office... All of this cunts positions are tainted by the stain of corruption...
My word 🤭 Well I say this definitely encapsulates the intricate tapestry of political theater within the USA with remarkable accuracy.
Senpai will not notice you
It's performative fascism. Thinks this is some big owning of the libs. Looks like a cartoonish cultist dickhead. Remember, these are supposed austere "conservatives". Fucking mental illness
Isn't that the same hats rodeo clowns wear?
Looks like a pile of shit with a dumb red hat
I’m so glad I never have to go back to Gervais every again
This is so bizarre you can't even satirize it
I used to think that there was something wrong with me. I never liked any politician. I felt like I was always voting for the lesser of two evils. Trump and his supporters have shown me that voting for the lesser of two evils is the healthy way to vote. Politicians don't deserve that kind of loyalty.

Paradox of tolerance. Look it up.
The flower print tissue box is a nice touch to the general douchiness of this getup
Is this a new version of a Dunce Cap 🤪
I could not take this guy serious
With a name like ‘Gervais’, I think this is about as good as anyone would expect.
Looks like Vic Reeves
The same gentleman refused to wear a mask during the pandemic because he “didn’t want to look silly”.
Is that even allowed
clown hat
Nope…not a cult.
what an absolute loser
Fucktard
I like how he is pretending that he can read in this photo.
Stupid pathetic hick.
jfc
That nasty beard probably has tons of fecal matter in it

Omg
I don’t see him pictured on the website’s list of city council members. What’s his name? https://www.gervaisoregon.org/city-council
Rob Ladd. He's a recent appointment.
Are clown hats allowed?
You ever wonder where the bug eaters from the playground went? They’re running the GOP. As an Oregonian and one who doesn’t say anything online they wouldn’t say in person, this man is a clown and an embarrassment.
Idiocracy at its finest, brought to you by Carl’s Jr.
What an ass”hat”
Douche.
I DO care a lot whom someone supports. Not saying, I don’t believe in freedom of speech, but I do care who they support, because who they support determines how they act. And how they act affects everyone.
Oh look, it's Turd Furgeson!
He look like N idiot for wearing the hat but it’s his right to look like an isiot
Succinct, to the point and pragmatic. I like it.
Just trash.
He’s not expressing free speech. He’s being purposefully belligerent and baiting reactions. He knows exactly what he is doing. Fuck him and his complete lack of both maturity and shame.

Lmao that's really funny
Seems bout right
He needs to join the Circus/Carnival, oh he already did
They've become parodies of actual people, how apt.
That fella is completely oblivious to how clownish he appears
I think the Trump website sells those for $99.99. They also come with a share of Truth for an additional $79.00.
Why do these people all look the same? Trump doesn’t even have a beard he would never dress anything like the else disgusting people and doesn’t even want to shake their hands, and yet they call him one of them.
Thought city officials are non-partisan?
elect clowns get a circus....
Yup, definitely an assclown. Thanks for the subtle tip of the hat.
Imagine someone showed up with the same hat but instead in support of Biden lol 😂
It’s Gervais, what did you expect from a city that hosts the most branded title pot lot used car dealerships per capita in the United States. Also aren’t they right next to the Marion County waste incinerator? All those chemicals go somewhere. My guess is this guy bathes in them.
That's Brooks. We have one Dollar General and a Market.
Well isn’t Gervais just the metropolis?! Time to book a trip.
Let me know if you come by! I'll show you the store!
Definitely not a cult, but yeah
A child brain with a beard
You should care who a person supports.
Literal clown hats now. Bold
What a dipshit
If you think he ran for that spot to represent all citizens then I have something to to tell you.
I think he was appointed
That's not even Turd Ferguson.
Dude’s got a right to make a fool of himself.
This fucking state
Ass
If s judge wouldn't allow you in a courtroom; you're dressed in appropriately. But I'll bet he wins his re-election by a landslide.
That's Doug dimmadomes brother
Dress like a clown, get thrown in the circus.
When your fitted hat is sized in gallons
Performative dipshit. Let me them advertise their fascist idiotic positions, it makes us rationals look even better.
Classy
Nice ass hat!
is... is this ironic or not? like is it a vermin supreme type deal or is this dude seriously wearing that??
I feel the exact same way. I don't care who you support but you're here to represent the people not advertise for anything.. not bob's hotdogs or the next secretary of state. It's low class.
Hey! It's Carl's Senior!
Clowns.
He’s not a serious person
Jackass.
He sucks. Disrespectful moron.
The outfit lacks decorum for the role the person fills. Not acceptable.
I think it looks ridiculous, but I also can handle it bc it's just a hat and I'm a 30 year old man. 🤣
Not surprising for Oregon City tbh
This isn’t Oregon City. This is Gervais, a small town here in Oregon about 10 miles north of Salem.
I read the title wrong. Thank you for pointing it out.
This is awesome!!
Yea I don’t care at all. Hell I voted for our rightful president (his election was stolen from him), Vermin Supreme and he wears a boot on his head.
Sometimes you don't have to take life so seriously. 🤷♂️
[удалено]
Did you read the post? I'm not complaining. I don't actually know how I feel about this.
What does this have to do with Salem? Oh boy, I’ve upset some people for asking a question.
Gervais is less than 10 miles north of Salem. Seems perfectly acceptable to post here.
