That’s the spirit. Go do some good.

Now that’s funny. Lol.

Just because you can’t read doesn’t mean I am full of shit. I clearly said the curfew was heavy handed, which means not necessary. But it’s clear you think I am arguing for the cerfew. Nuances seem to be lost on you.

My argument was that they couldn’t just let it happen and ignore it.

Saying I am full of shit without actually pointing out anything I said about portland was wrong is exactly how trump operates. No facts, just slander. So congratulations, you have followed him so much you now act like him.

You best use in our cause is to follow in the footsteps of St. Luigi.

Wow, I’ve seen goalposts move before, but those moved so far they aren’t even in the same state.

I think you know what I meant. They had people spraying graffiti on non federal building and such. You also had the wamo cars being lit on fire. If left unchecked, those things escalate pretty fast. For reference, I live in the portland metro area. We have experience with this.

Untill I saw this I was wondering if we were talking 17 year old girls or something. I was trying to have some optimism that the guy thought they were legal or something. But 9. There is no mistaking that. And who even downloads the pictures they find on the web. Total BS.

I’m okay with it. You can’t have roving mobs destroying your city every night. I think the cerfew itself is a bit heavy handed, but my understanding is that it covers a very small area. And it doesn’t affect the daytime peacful protests, so it isn’t squashing the protesting really, just trying to cut down on the damage.

While you are not arong that “he” doesn’t care, his administration does. They have released several high profile people that they were ordered to release for starters. They are starting to lose more and more court cases. Each loss gives military personnel more ground to declare an order unlawful. The same is true of republicans who don’t like him but feel powerless to oppose him.

I don’t think the peaceful protesters (which are by far the majority) care about them building defenses.

I don’t think the majority of people are ignorant or apathetic. I haven’t met a single person who was either of those. Seems like everyone is pretty solidly on one side or the other. I think most simply feel powerless to do anything about it, which is very different than apathetic or ignorant. I suspect that was true in Germany back then as well. Due to a lack of access to open media, many probably felt they were one against 1000 or something.

They could have just said that due to extremely decreasing popularity of ICE, the insurance costs have become prohibitive. Thats like 2 zingers in one. They could also toss in something about respecting the wishes of thier constituency for extra flavor.

Seeing as how donactions are only a deduction from your taxable income, 10k won’t get you to not paying taxes unless you make like 20 or 30k or something. And I gotta think thier system will flag that, probably just assuming it was a typo.

When I play a board game and need to read the cards I need glasses. But if I want to look at the player across the table I have to take them off. Squinting doesn’t seem to help.

Triggers are the real key. Like needing to use the bathroom in the morning. Then hang a habit of taking meds right after. You have to look at the habits you already have, and connect new things to that. You can also build new habits, but if they are forced, they won’t have a high success rate. I built a habit of looking back into a space I am walking out of when not in my home. I built it on the anxiety of forgetting something. So it stuck. I try to build a habit of letting others talk, but it has no trigger, so it hasn’t stuck.
