One in particular I am thinking of, when I was asked to help her work on self-reliance, moved to a different district, so she could restart her welfare cycle. (And, she had another baby.)

The point is, she feels she has a right to get money, but has no responsibility to follow rules of conduct; which is somewhat the same mindset as many of the rioters.

That is happening regularly. Don't believe it...go sit and watch your local child support court and see.

Leviathan and Its Enemies

In America today, some lives matter more than others. Much more.

I guess I'm just stupid. I really don't get it. BLM and antifa would be no where without white support. The companies mentioned in the article are all run by whites apparently bent on committing veritable suicide.

How is it that these groups i.e. antifa, trans, etc wield so much power.

Maybe white folks have a yet to be discovered suicide gene?

It has nothing to do with any lives mattering. It’s just a way of pushing communism and reprogramming the public.

And the child tax credit from Uncle IRS, on top of EIC

Truth.

They've said it, themselves.

Not sure I understand your point. I have seen it first hand here in CA.

Welfare, shmelfare. You guys are drifting the thread.

And they push their defacto communism under the guise of "rights", and "for the people".

The Multnomah County District Attorney announced earlier this week that dozens of people arrested over almost three months of rioting in Portland, Oregon, will not be prosecuted, but as local officials stand down, federal prosecutors are taking on cases.

D.A. Mike Schmidt said his office would not prosecute rioters arrested unless the charges against them included property damage, theft or the use or threat of force against another person.

Willamette Week reported on the federal move to prosecute rioters, including Edward Thomas Schinzing, who was caught on camera setting fires inside of the Multnomah County Justice Center on May 29, 2020, the first night of protests in Portland:

It was a slam-dunk case for the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office: the destruction of county property caught on camera. And county prosecutors are pursuing indictments for 47 people on felony charges related to protests this year.

Schinzing was indicted July 28 on arson charges. But the county isn’t bringing the charges.


Instead, he’s being prosecuted by the U.S. attorney for Oregon—that is, the feds. He’s one of at least two protesters whose cases originated in the district attorney’s office that have now been taken up in federal court, according to Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney Nathan Vasquez.


The Willamette Week report notes that the fires were set in buildings owned by the city and country, not a federal building that federal law enforcement are tasked to protect.

The report also said “the feds'” rationale for claiming jurisdiction was, “ Because Portland and Multnomah County are recipients of federal aid , including COVID relief funding, the federal government has authority to prosecute crimes on those properties.”

At a press conference on August 11, Schmidt did not dispute federal law enforcement’s jurisdiction in the Schinzing case

Former Multnomah County Chief Deputy District Attorney Norm Frink said that the feds’ involvement may seem unusual, but what is taking place in Portland is anything but usual.

“Yeah, it’s unusual. But the circumstances are even more unusual,” Frink told the news outlet. “It’s unusual that for 70-plus days, people have been permitted, with minimal law enforcement interference, to break the criminal laws over political animus.”

“That’s highly unusual,” Frink said. “It’s unsurprising to me that the only adult left in the room would exercise federal jurisdiction when he can.”

“It’s unlikely Portlanders will feel much pity for Schinzing, Willamette Week reported. “He remains in custody at the Multnomah County Jail, where he’s been held since July 2 following an arrest for violating parole after being convicted of assault this spring for attacking his domestic partner and her child.”

Seattle beer company defends anti-cop acronym on cans

https://nypost.com/2020/08/14/...cop-acronym-on-cans/

A Seattle beer company is brewing up controversy with an anti-police message on cans.

Michael Dempster — who owns Mirage Beer, which bills itself as a “farmhouse-focused” Puget Sound brewery — released a hoppy IPA in June called “Choosey Lover” that featured a stamp on the bottom of cans that read, “ACAB means all cops,” KIRO reports.

The acronym, which stands for “All cops are bastards,” is favored by some Antifa and Black Lives Matters protesters and has recently appeared at anti-police brutality demonstrations across the country — from Lower Manhattan to Portland, Oregon.

Mirage Beer

Anytime I read Hoppy IPA, I automatically know it's trash.

It means they added so many flowers to the swill that it conceals the putrid.

I've been a proponent of a cap/limit of SOME sort for YEARS, whether it be based on a length of time or a dollar amount. I'd say what sounds fair is either 24 months or $100,000. And then THAT'S IT! No more. IDGAS HOW many kids yo baby mama can punch out. IDGAS what COLOR you are. IDGAS what SEX you are or if you identify as tree bark.

It is truly sad that the people who have abused the system for so long, supported and perpetuated by MOSTLY Demotarded legislation, don't realize they've been chained in slavery to the gubmit's teat. I have a distant cousin who isn't worth a shit. Hasn't worked a day in her life since she was 17 years old. I was there the day she quit her last job at McDonald's...after working for 3 days.

I'm going to with "yes." They already told Seattle to stuff it when they went through this "head tax" nonsense about two years ago, and decided to take their operation to nearby Bellevue instead.

You left out the most interesting quotes from the article, where the owner says if you don't like it, their beer wasn't made for you, and he doesn't want Trump supporters buying his product. Also, the local bartender they interviewed who was proud of the brewer for taking a stand.

If you don't virtue signal hard enough out here, you get ostracized and shut out.

When we decided to move out here, this is not what I thought I was signing up for. In ten year's time, it has gone so far downhill so rapidly that I still can't really believe it. Sawant and her ilk are a cancer - chasing out businesses and spreading ire and discontent.

Apologies. My cognitive skills are not as keen as they normally are. Been awake since 0300 for some god-forsaken reason...
