It almost sounds as if Portland's insanely blue government is attempting to deputize the private sector to take on some of the city's abundant homeless population in a bid to reduce stress on public spaces. But it also meshes with the idea of driving productive taxpayers out, those nasty capitalists the wokesters dislike so intensely. Already 34% of Portlanders want to leave the city based on the problems of homelessness. If the crazed measure goes through, count on more Portlanders fleeing the city. With unintended consequences set to roll, this should serve as a textbook case to other cities of what not to do. Or...depending on the "woke-ness" of the governments involved...it could be EXACTLY what they want to have happen. Crazy. | ||

Dammit. My cousin is a policeman in Portland now. It really sounds like the boat is about to capsize there. | ||

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/17/watc h-crowds-of-illegal-aliens-line-up-to-get-drivers- licenses-in-new-york/ This secures the illegal alien vote in NY. It's inevitable now that there will be challenges to the vote results in Federal elections where hundreds of thousands of foreign citizens vote. Will this change the Electoral college vote from N.Y. Next November? Highly doubtful, N.Y. will vote for Hillary, again. ( or whoever the Party chooses, Michelle, perhaps ) but a legal challenge to those votes? | ||

Offend a small group of people = bad. Go to prison. Offend a large group of people = Free speech and protected by the constitution. | ||

Once again, "equality" is removing any drive whatsoever for an individual to succeed. Welcome, Komrade...nice to have you in the neighborhood. How about, instead of dumbing-down the nice areas...they focus on making the •••••• areas NICER? Oh. Wait. It's easier to ruin nice neighborhoods than it is to fix the slums. Equality - nobody has a nice life, everyone is just as screwed as the next guy. Yay. | ||

It's Christmas. For today, forget being cynical about the truth of leftism. Or just simmer in bile like I do.  Tomorrow buy a few boxes of trading goods for the apocalypse. Some lighters, ammo, onion soup mix, chocolate covered cherries. Then eat some of thar last with someone you love, because both won't keep forever. We can spend all next year telling each other how much they lie, and how childishly mean they are. I expect a Senate trial by September! Weeee! Merry Christmas, everyone. | ||

Good point, and my apologies. Living alone and having a house to rebuild before it breaks me, means today is (logistically, anyway) "just a day off" where I need to keep busy and productive - gotta get these renovations finished! I was raised Catholic, and truly understand the meaning of Christmas. Sorry to bring anyone down on such a wonderful day. | ||

By "rule" you mean the presidency? Meanwhile the House and Senate have been rife with Communists the entire time, and one of their stated goals is the destruction of the family unit. | ||

Still waiting for Reaganomics to trickle down. Steal from the poor give to he rich. Is this the Communism your talking about. Where are the Trump(Your god) Jobs at, Sure as HELL not here. USMCA,- Are they going too DOT Inspect Mexi-Trucks or just give them free run of USA anyway. USMCA,- Turn America into a Third World Dump, to Hell with the WALL. | ||

A family of four making 60k per year pays zero federal tax. How are the rich stealing money from the poor? The poor don’t have anything to steal. Reagan’s theory, and Trumps, is if business does well, the employees of those businesses will do well. A rising tide lifts all boats. Jobs lift people out of poverty. Government handouts do not. I don’t know where you live, but most of America is booming. There are more open positions than there are people on unemployment. Actually, I don’t know what universe you live in. It sure sounds bleak. | ||
| Hootowl |
Also, Reaganomics happened in the 80s. We had 16 years of democrats in the white house since then, 8 of them under a narcissist with aspirations of communism. Not exactly a recipe for success. I sincerely hope the Trump economy finds you soon. | ||

Yeah... Patches... Maybe you're just not trying hard enough, here's the hard data for your state of Kentucky, directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics    These are facts. What's your skill set? There's work available, but sometimes you have to get outside your comfort zone. | ||

Facts? How DARE you pollute the argument with facts? |
