All Portland Walmart Stores To "Permanently Close" Amid Theft Wave.

[Gary Atk]

President Trump accomplished a lot, even without having much help in the legislature. He opened an embassy in Jerusalem in record time and under budget. At the same time he got peace agreements signed in the Middle East. Both things were proclaimed as impossible by all previous administrations. Nobody moved the embassy to Jerusalem because it would hurt peace. He accomplished both.

President Reagan granted amnesty to millions of illegals with the agreement that we would get a wall. The democrats never held up their side of the bargain. they blocked the wall at every turn. President Trump built hundreds of miles of wall and had he gained a second term He'd have finished it.

Trump reduced taxes. He reduced governmental control and regulations. He brought jobs back form overseas. He built the economy. He put the hurt on China. He finished wars and is the only president, at least in recent history, to never start a war. He left the military in better shape when he left office than when he arrived. That is just a start. Were that the end of the list he would have been a successful president.

Saying that he didn't accomplish anything in not only unfair, it is just plain WRONG. With him and others you seem to think that anything less than 100% is a failure. That just ain't so.

He did not accomplish anything that would bring us back to a constitutional government. Much of what you mentioned is even in the authority of the federal government given to it in the constitution. He never balanced a budget, and he left us deeper in debt. But you are welcome to your opinion and so am I. Oh, and he is a liar. But I already established that.

I never said "No I am right", and if you take a real look at it, I have mostly been answering peoples questions and assumptions. Maybe this isn't the place for me.

Well every argument you make sure screams that. No agreement with a single post that points out the difference. And yes I have read them all.
I try hard to avoid arguments on here. But sometimes I just have to call it as I see it

And you are welcome to your opinion. BTW, arguments usually get ugly, and I have been nothing but respectful. A discussion on the other hand is what I thought I was having. Again, I am new here and if discussions are not welcome here I am in the wrong place.

Like most forums, members are free to leave if they don't like the way a forum is headed. I did it here once. Feel free to depart. I have not read any posts that were personal attacks on you or any other current members now. Just many people that did not agree with your posts. All replies to your posts have been within forum rules and respectful. In my opinion, you should appreciate the decorum shown by the members disagreeing with your posts, instead of threatening to leave.

No loss. Too thin skinned to be a prepper. Maybe he did not like my post, inviting him to leave.

I am deleting my account because I made a mistake joining a forum and not having much in common here. I am not mad or offended. I just don't belong here. Have a blessed life.

I am not a prepper. I am a homesteader, which is what this forum was about I thought. However I am prepared to meet my savior. I have been considering deleting my account for the last few hours anyway. But thank you for the invitation.

 

[havasu]

To you as well Gary. Keep the faith and hope you receive comfort from the big guy upstairs.

Gary, there are a couple ways to take your post. I truly hope you are not thinking about hurting yourself.

They have not been able to even slow down the progress of socialists. Even the ones that came before them that couldn't get the funding from their own party or the PAC's and lobbyists that control them. It's all about the money. But 20% of the voters made a huge difference with out much of it 30 years ago. That is the revolution I am talking about and it is probably too late for that today.

Agreed but they have slowed the progression.

Thank you for proving that I am making the right decision.

I have long said no one in Washington cares about me and I believe that. This thread has brought to my attention that voting for the lesser of two evils may still qualify as voting for evil. The current state of our country may even be evidence of that.

Meh, the TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) was getting old... along with the "Holier Than Thou" attitude, lol.

And now, back to our regularly-scheduled programming, lol...

Funny "All" should be "Both" (if I recall correctly). Also, just Portland not all the suburbs of which there are many.

I'm planning on voting for the Martians.
I know you all think the venusians have it going on but I want real change.
I heard the klingons are circling uranus and the crap is about to hit the fan.

 

[Frodo]

I "kind'a" understand there are cities where shoplifting is not a crime.

Shoplifting is theft , theft is a crime
We have soup kitchens in every city in the USA so the excuse they were stealing for food is a BS excuse
Some say stealing from a store is not the same as stealing from a person
BS. When you steal from store then that effects every poor b
Person in that town by prices going up in order to cover the loss
God made it crystal clear. Obey man’s laws as you do mine

Romans 13:1-7​

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ...

I was in Dollar Tree a month or so ago and some man comes in the door. Immediately, every employee (3 people) up front starts to tell him to get out, he is not allowed in there. From what I could gather, he was a regular shoplifter who once he got in the store, refused to leave until he was done shop-lifting what he wanted. Evidently, the new thing was to tell him to get out before he could even fully get in.

Why are prices going up so much? Someone has to offset the theft and it is the honest people.

And a criminals rights are always more important than the crime, at least to them. All of the stuff that was in her purse was okay, but she was "assaulted."

Get "OUT" of CITIES, BIG TOWNS, LITTLE TOWNS. Find a rural place to hide where water is abundant and take lots of "FOOD".

Most businesses make their profit on turn over, high volume low margin. If the profit on an item is 5% then the retailer needs to sell 20 more of that item, just to break even. If you have a low turn over item then the markup has to be higher. You need fewer sales to make back the loss but it is a low er turn over item.

I agree with you but I have seen and met drugged up and creepy people out in the country.

This "Greater Idaho" thing might actually happen?

I have lived in both states. I have mixed feelings. Elect me to keep the best of both states and discard the rest! Second thought, leave me out of it
