2020 Dumpster Fire (Enter at your own risk)


jk

Recommended Posts

NCAA Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brian Hainlie stated 1-2% of all student athletes tested so far by colleges and universities nationwide have been positive. (Again positive doesn't equate to being sick)

Can't wait until we get to zero positive cases to resume college athletics in this country. 

........but at least these kids will have more time now to go spend with their grandparents.

Bismarck ND pivots on face to face classes. District superintendent is quoted..."As a community, we need to do all we can to lower our numbers."  Again the goalpost have completely switched in this country.  Not about flattening the curve, not about deaths, not about hospitals being overwhelmed.....just about "numbers" now.   As Sic has mentioned numerous times.....this is a virus we are dealing with but lemmings will be lemmings.

I just simply do not understand how the american people allowed this to take place. We have been lied to at every single turn, with the current goal post, do people not realize that we will never reach it? I mean never. So then what will change? A vaccine rushed to market over 5 years earlier than any previous vaccine?

Bingo! 

 

And I'll reiterate this point.....even with a vaccine there will still be at a minimum 50% of this country's population that will be at risk due to not wanting to get the vaccine or the vaccine not being effective.

If this country needed an enema, look no further than Southern red states who are by and large (and historically) the poorest, most backwards and crime ridden places in the nation.      

9 of the top 10 poorest states are staunchly Conservative; yet these mental midgets are screaming "We hate socialism!” while simultaneously having no objections to sucking on the nipple of the federal government for economic survival.  The South is one giant welfare case, always has been going back to the end of the civil war.   I mean, KY, MS, and LA rely on the feds for more than 40 percent of their revenue. lol    The ignorance and/or hypocrisy is astounding.                

Perhaps we should build a wall around Cletus, Jasper and Cooter instead of Mexico.  Let these states have fun with their evangelicalism, confederate flags, 3rd world economies and trump worship.  The rest of this great country can proceed with modernity without them dragging us back 100 years.

I understand the politics behind the right-wing's push to use current social unrest to position themselves as the 'law and order' party; espousing that crime and violence will prevail if liberals take office.    

But you do realize 8 of the top 10 most dangerous states (murder and violent crime rate) are staunch conservative ones.  Right?

I find it fitting that one of your posts would send us on to page 420.

Symbolic of the massive bales of herbal material need to smoke a brain into such foolish interpetations of reality.

Kind of blowing off the second part of that in the New Testament.  

Is that like a governor "blowing off" the First Amendment? 

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ... "

 

I'm Catholic; my religion says I must attend mass. How do you do that when the governor says you can't have mass. 

" ... prohibiting the free exercise thereof ... "

Did that prevent you from remaining a Catholic?   No.

There are options to Mass approved by the church.  Its overdtamatic to say during this pandemic you have to physically attend.

I'm not saying that businesses override religion in reopening with restrictions.  But, what is different?  Location of the crowd?  Density?  Amount of time on one location?  

In what context was this decision made?  It appears the US Supreme Court agrees.

So Oregon ranked in 2018.   do you think it changed in 2018

There were 11,966 incidents of robery, rape, murder, and aggravated assault in the state in 2018, a 2.9% increase from the previous year.

SO THE OVER/UNDER. DURING 2020.

IT'S CALLED CURRENT EVENTS.  YOU ARE BEHIND THE TIMES.

32. Oregon

• Violent crime rate: 285.5 per 100,000 people

• Total 2018 murders: 82 (17th lowest)

• Imprisonment rate: 461 adults per 100,000 (25th lowest)

• Poverty rate: 12.6% (25th lowest)

• Most dangerous city: Portland

Unlike most states, Oregon reported an uptick in violent crime over the last year. There were 11,966 incidents of robery, rape, murder, and aggravated assault in the state in 2018, a 2.9% increase from the previous year. Still, Oregon's violent crime rate of 285.5 incidents per 100,000 is below that of most states and well below the national rate of 380.6 per 100,000.

Most states with lower than average violent crime rates also have low property crime rates, but Oregon is a notable exception. There were 2,894 property crimes for every 100,000 people in the state in 2018 compared to 2,199.5 per 100,000 nationwide.

As a Portland resident, I can tell you that most crime is perpetrated by transient addicts (usually Vets, former high school football players, or other roles at high risk for injuries that result in a painkiller prescription) whose drug use elsewhere resulted in the local law enforcement taking the lazy route and putting them on a bus to Portland rather than rehabilitate them in their community. Because Portland doesn't ship them off when they run afoul of police here, they are here to stay until a friend or family member says it's okay to send the person to stay with them. There are some losers and scumbags among the locals, but most junkies and criminals are non-natives.

As a healthy white male over 6 feet with a confident stride, I'm not afraid of anything happening to me anywhere in the city. Couldn't say the same thing in many post-industrial rust belt cities in this country, or in most of the countries I've visited. I wouldn't leave my bike unlocked or valuables visible in my car, but when I've done those things accidentally nothing happened.

The Antifa crowd is really just anarchists that are too stupid to realize they allowed their enemies to label them and use their actions for fear mongering. Tons of white trash come from just over the river in Vancouver WA to provoke them, and they fall for it every time.

The narrative that Portland is a shithole is bogus. There are some tent cities and parts of downtown that are trashed, but it's better to localize it and tolerate it (a la Hamsterdam) than try to fight it everywhere.  Only a few parts are affected.

I'm going into my office downtown this week for the first time in a while after spending the quarantine at my beach house, I'll share pictures of what it looks like since my building is in the thick of it. From what I've seen and heard it's a few storefronts and parks that got destroyed, but not nearly as widespread as portrayed.

TLDR: Portland crime isn't Antifa, it's junkies from out of town that end up here. Don't let fascist propagandists tell you otherwise

This isn't brain surgery.  He’s pointing out that, although Antifa’s shenanigans grab the headlines, their actions are localized and limited to a micro-section of Portland.  Meanwhile the crimes of transient junkies are more wide-spread and affect more people.  

But whatever, the shtick is getting old.   Yea we get it already.... all of Portland is on fire and Antifa and BLM will soon invade the country (with angle grinders and leaf blowers) if the current  administration is voted out of office.  Run for the hills everybody!!!

 The Vatican is requiring you to do the opposite.  

VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis praised the “heroic service” of health care workers during the coronavirus pandemic, but also took a dig at some conservative priests who defied safety measures — calling their complaints over church closures “adolescent.”
