Why not just let people keep their own money?

There is a huge difference between what we see happening in Hong Kong and what the ANTIFA movement is doing in the United States. I think the major differences is how members of the two groups value “self determination”.

There are large segments of the US population that have lived their entire lives coddled and bathed in privilege; they have no understanding of ‘struggle’. This is true for rich and poor alike, that is to say that even the poor in the US are coddled (free housing, food, phone, internet, healthcare, etc). They have not experienced life threatening poverty. Anyone that pulls there self from the depths of poverty (or the threat of abject poverty) by his own means knows that his own self determination has changed the world.

The ‘struggle’ that any given ANTIFA member is involved with is not a struggle at all. It’s an activity that satisfies the social needs of its participants. It would stop immediately, if “Maslow’s Hierarchy Model” has any merit whatsoever, by pulling the rug from under their support mechanism and sending them back to the physiological level of the model. The world changes big time if you have no food or shelter.

So the members of ANTIFA are being manipulated because they are simpletons. Here is an example of the sirens cry:

PAIN! HEARTBREAK! BEING SADISTICALLY VICTIMIZED [primarily by psychotic billionaires]. most people are decent. most people form progressive political convictions through desperation to attain the environmentally, economically, societally just/equitable/free world universally recognized as BETTERMENT. most everyone’s biological imperative is to make a comfortable living [build a civilization] doing far more good than harm. however, by about 16yrs old, most everyone discovers that a sadistic few gain the greatest rewards [$$$] by capitalizing [corrupt capitalism] on the suffering of the many.

They recognize only real democracy can weaken, destroy and replace the cruel despotism of psychotic billionaires. 1% of children are beaten and grow up passionately seeking to become the punisher [republicans] rather than the punished. wholesome political convictions of the most passionate individuals are crushed [punished] by the psychotics who rule today. how do we overcome evil, billionaire rule? see my website and call me

Trust me, I’ve been there: If you’re struggling to find food and shelter you wouldn’t get past the first sentence before abandoning this drivel and beginning a search for a resolution to your physiological needs.

You know, I haven’t heard a peep from Bill or Hill in the last week or so. Have these grifters finally painted themselves into the proverbial corner?

Every time I see a picture of the military leadership in the socialist paradise of North Korea there is enough medals on their chests to build a battleship. Given the the last conflict they were involved in ended in the 50’s, what the hell did these folks do to earn them? Perhaps they are like scouting’s merit badges aligned to persecuting their own population.

WHAT A MOMENT 😭

Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi returns a punt 86 yards for a TD — and the whole bench clears to celebrate pic.twitter.com/anLZ3EEgAT

— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) August 9, 2019

Four months ago, the Browns said, Sheehy-Guiseppi was sleeping outside a Miami gym after spending his last $200 on training.

A former teammate from a flag-football league tipped him off to the time and location of the Browns’ spring practice. He convinced Browns management that he knew the team’s vice president of player personnel (he didn’t). He walked up to the VP, introduced himself and talked his way into a spot alongside the invited players.

That gave Sheehy-Guiseppi a chance to catch balls and run the 40-yard dash, which he did in an impressive 4.38 seconds and that was enough to earn a spot at the Browns’ next practice a week later. At that workout he impressed enough to get a contract and a role in the preseason opener.

The game was the first time he faced a live punt return since his days at Phoenix College.  Sheehy-Guiseppi had misplaced his cleats before the game, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, so he was running in borrowed shoes..

To be out of football as long as he’s been out, and still have that type of speed? That means he’s fast. And now he’s eating three square meals a day, sleeping in his own bed. The sky’s the limit for him.”

The Washington Examiner is running with a story that proves the Trumpster’s point about Joe being overcooked. What Trump tweeted is directly below. A portion of what the Examiner reported follows the tweet. Link is here. What may be important to consider is that this is the third verbal stumble in as many days.

2020 Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden added to his recent series of gaffes by claiming he was vice president during the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, last year that killed 17.

Speaking with reporters in Iowa on Saturday, the former vice president said, “Those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president.” He went on to claim that lawmakers on Capitol Hill at the time were “basically cowering, not wanting to see them.”

“They did not want to face it on camera,” he added. Biden, however, was no longer in office at the time.
