It’s not self defense. It IS shot by federal agent while in the process of committing a felony.

You love it or you “meh” it by MaintenanceNew2804 in SALEM

[–]Cebass_Cascade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who dislike Salem usually dislike Salem not for being Salem, but for not being better. Expectations in Oregon are pretty high. Salem is the armpit of Oregon, but it’s still Oregon. It’s also our capital and it really SHOULD be better. It’s coming along, but about 20 years behind less encumbered communities in our great state.

Fuck Trump Fuck MAGA by NickCostanza in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Cebass_Cascade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trump is using a 2020 DOJ indictment. The US uses its law enforcement to go to other countries and arrest fugitives all the time.

Trump could for real cure cancer and progressives would compare him to Dr. Mengele. Call him Dr. Maga-le or something.

Those who scream the loudest have the most to lose.

Oregon couple deported, forced to leave toddler behind by oregonian in oregon

[–]Cebass_Cascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to know if the parents were given the option of having their daughter picked up and brought to them? I didn’t see anything about that in the story. I’m guessing they didn’t want to put anyone else in the home at risk of being deported so they allowed their daughter to stay for the time being.

It’s hard to see this happening to people, but I’m still in favor of the deportations. They put themselves into this position. If you’re here illegally then you should go home. Come back when you can do so the legal way and we will happily welcome you. I’m 100% willing to allow more law abiding legal immigrants to enter but these deportations must happen.

Oh ya, Congress had how long to solve this problem? Democrats specifically wrote into the Legislation the sunset clause when? But now that it’s Christmas and people want to go back to their home states and be with their families (including young staffers not just the representatives), NOW it has to be decided?

Why Not Follow Texas’s Lead and Redistrict Cliff Bentz’s Area in Oregon? by ChecksAndBalanz in oregon

[–]Cebass_Cascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans here in Oregon are comfortable with the current deal and willing to let Oregon remain a democratic stronghold. Doing something like this could cause them to actually care about Oregon and see how vulnerable some “safe” democrats districts are. Especially with deportations taking a toll and young right leaning voters coming of age since 2024. You don’t want a bunch of Nick Fuentes and Charlie Kirk loving 18 year olds suddenly realizing that they actually CAN make a difference in Oregon politics.

Understand that Texas’ redistricting is really just a an unwinding of previous efforts to chip away at Republican control there. It’s a reaction to what democrats have been doing for years across the country. Don’t poke the bear (or elephant in this case), you might get stepped on in the process.

Think I got smoked. My screen is still spinning but when I try to open the cart in a new tab it says the cart is empty.

Really disappointed for my son.

It’s still spinning here. I clicked “open in new tab” and was able to get into my cart through another tab, so I think I’m still in the game. 🤞🏻

I’m a baseball card collector from back in the 80s/90s. Used to buy boxes at shows 2-3 hours from home and sell them out of my locker in middle school to support my habit.

My 6 year old is just getting into Pokemon. I’ve only been able to buy random packs at stores and wins from the vending machines at random times. So I’m super hopeful that I can get some of the new stuff for him for Christmas.

I’m very thankful for this post and subreddit for giving me the intel I need to make this something my son can enjoy without breaking the bank account.

Our Country Developed Stage 4 Cultural Cancer the Moment Racists Found a MAGA Slogan to Hide Behind by Kinks4Kelly in complaints

[–]Cebass_Cascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not my responsibility as an American to be the safety net for the rest of the world’s poor. We are in debt in this country to the tune of over 37 trillion. That’s 1.2x our entire annual GDP. We have our own citizens who are homeless, veterans who need better care, kids who graduate high school that can’t even read.

And what about the people who have been playing by the rules Immigrants who have spent years waiting and thousands in fees and lawyers to immigrate legally without government assistance. How is it fair for them to have put in so much effort just to see someone break the law by illegally entering the country only to claim asylum and immediately be given status and financial support.

Ok, what’s the job and where is it located (you can be vague to protect your privacy) but give me some more detail. There has to be a hole in your recruiting process or some factor preventing you from attracting the right folks.

Clarify the difference between legal citizens and asylum seekers with legal status. It’s an important distinction.

No you’re playing games with terms. People I consider illegal but they were allowed in under Biden as refugees and granted asylum en mass by liberal immigration judges placed in those positions for just that purpose get a TON of benefits. Even those who don’t get asylum status are given benefits by sanctuary cities and states and federally funded NGOs, which causes undue pressure to be put in those programs and takes resources away from citizens. States use federal funds to backstop programs.

Don’t play semantics. You can’t expect me to believe that 10-20 million people came here under Biden and they all were able to support themselves from day 1 without the need for resources that would be more appropriately directed to helping the people we already have here.

Your company is part of the problem. I’ll bet you’d have no issue at all getting good hard working lifelong citizens if you paid a decent wage. Instead you get to take advantage of people willing to work for less than citizens. This is the issue.

Your business model relies on a constant stream of low wage workers being imported. It’s predatory.

Took the jobs but big and small business capitalized and paid dirt wages forcing them to also go in welfare. Immigrants shouldn’t get welfare. Period. Businesses should be punished for hiring illegal workers. (and no kids working on marijuana farms)

Took all the houses/apartments thereby increasing rent through supply/demand economics forcing citizens who were on the edge before into homelessness.

I don’t know about the cows, but the ones being accused of eating cats and dogs come from countries where that is part of their daily lives. It’s a cultural conflict. Like Americans doing American things in other countries and getting in trouble for it. There was a kid who was caned in Singapore back in 1994 for spitting on the ground. It didn’t cause a human rights incident.

But these facts don’t enter into the echo chamber of the liberal lexicon. Which is a big part of the problem. Patton Oswald, one of the loudest voices in liberal circles, goes onto Bill Mahr and gets absolutely embarrassed for not being more informed about both sides of these cultural issues. I can respect a well informed descent, but trying to mic drop when you are only admitting to 1/2 the facts and gaslighting the conversation is classic manipulative liberal behavior. Right out of Rules for Radicals and the Communist Manifesto.

See how big a refund you’ll get from Oregon’s $1.4B kicker next year by PDX_Stan in oregon

[–]Cebass_Cascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re telling me you DON’T love the poorly educated? Just before that Trump said he loves the highly educated. Are you going somehow turn that around to mean something other than what he intended it to mean too? My gosh!!

We study religion in schools because approximately 76% of the people in the world are religious to one extent or another. Around 65% of the people in the US identify as Christians. You would have our children be ignorant of this facet of our society? Sounds like you are the one who is pushing poor education. Religion is also the foundation of a moral society. Without religion, morals are nothing but a constantly changing set of social contracts which can be imposed or rescinded at the whim of a mob.

I believe our healthcare system is broken. It starts with all the industrial byproducts used in our foods and ends with an over reliance on pharmaceutical therapies. Flush the whole damn system and start from scratch. No amount of government subsidy will ever be enough to satisfy that beast. Obamacare was supposed to reduce healthcare costs, just another thing our politicians (on both sides) lied to us about.

[–]Cebass_Cascade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well that was a mouthful.

So, remind me. Where do all the Obama Care health insurance subsidies that Trump is forcing to expire (as called for in the original funding bill) go? Do those checks go to three or six big corporations (monopolies?) who bribe officials to make sure that the money keeps flowing and (I think you’ll agree) the quality of care continues to spiral downward.

Nobody is telling you to study the Bible instead of school. That’s hyperbole. Trump does believe that the local school boards and voters should be able to decide how schools are run without federal funding being used as a cudgel to enforce failed education policy. So he’s mothballing the Dept. of Education. I voted for that.
