Oh, JACKAREN, does that mean you're going to pretend to be a mind-reader and tell me what I'm thinking while you spend pointless wpms refuting words I never used and arguments I never made?

That'll be fun to watch!!

oh, as opposed to setting a building on fire with people inside, and blocking the exits? Because that's different?

This article claims that Portland protests/ violence are home grown (x-posted to other applicable threads).

A long history of militant activism keeps protests alive in Portland

It's funny reading articles by the Legacy Media that are actually starting to admit that there is a riot problem and it's not just protests. They can't just deny that forever when everybody knows it's bullshit.

But at the end of the article they just can't help themselves when they call people fighting back to support the police in Portland "white supremacists" and "far right activists".

Nope. They're just normal people who are sick of the cringe fringe Lefty idiots.

Thank god none of these soy cuck Antifa bitches breed. This problem will just work itself out eventually.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

As long as there's no outside 'help' for Portlanders to decide what they want to do with their own city, they can conclude the issues politically, for themselves. Which makes the fact that city elections will be coming up soon very handy indeed.

Now that ewe have posted the spin, here are the facts: Trump signed the bill providing various forms of monetary relief from the Democrap Lockdowns. But Democraps and other Libtards are feverish to keep the economy Locked Down, to hamper Trumop's election chances, to punish America, to force Americans to suffer (because America is the enemy of Democrats). In WI (like other states) the Gov is a Libtard sycophant, and his person in charge of Unemployment Insurance is a failed Libtard Democrap politician (became State Legislator for a few months some years ago), a carpetbagger from Minnesota.
The Dem state government is withholding all of these UI payments (actually, PUA) of $600 per week to keep the economy strangled. I understand those who got their funds released in the past week had filed in the beginning of April. That is the Dems witholding more than $10,000 of PUA for 4 months. I know those who filed in beginning of May have been given an estimate of October before they will get their funds. That means trying to live for 6 months WITHOUT ANY MONEY. A Democrap Utopia. The Dems are processing applications at the rate of one week's worth of backlog for every 1 month that they work on it.

Wisconsin UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS CLAIMS STATUS
Approximately 463,500 claimants have been paid over $3 billion since March 15.

That's $6,500 per claimant. You are lying, JewelStaiteFan. And that's unsurprising.
https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/news/2020/pdf/200727-ui-data.pdf

is simple, basic fundamental fact just too complicated for somebody as stupid as you?

There were 106,000 unemployed in WI in March.
WI lost about 453,000 jobs in April.
The UI release of funds is normally 3-4 weeks after the initial claim. So as of 15 March, they had not even finished with February.

So of the 463,500 that you posted, about 106,000 was from the March filings. that leaves about 356,500 of April filings that have been completed as of your post, AT THE END OF JULY!
Therefore, the fact that they are currently processing claims from the 2nd week of April are not disputed.
So the information that you posted confirms that they have not released the Federal Funds from the end of April - more than 13 weeks ago!

So they have processed about 6 weeks worth of claims in the past 4 1/2 months, or less than 1.5 weeks worth of claims per every MONTH they whittled away on the backlog. The 16 weeks from mid-April until now would take over 10 MONTHS at their current rate of processing, withholding every cent of Federal PUA's $600 per week until next May, just because of their bureaucratic pretexts to punish America.

#1. Thanks for proving me right.

#2. Thanks for proving that you are a stupid Libtard, and your Libtard Maths don't work in the real world.

#3. Thanks for proving that THG is just as stupid as you are, particularly when he blindly agrees with you.

The link you provided states that as of 25 July, 463,500 claimants have been paid over $3 B since 15 March. 118,495 claims in progress since 15 March, as of 2 May. 593,037 claims in progress since 15 March, as of 25 July.

Other statements I noticed, all since 15 March:
$290 M on 747,855 claims paid as of 25 April.
$384.3 M paid as of 2 May.
$1.8 B paid as of 8 June.
433,000 claims paid as of 13 July.
25 July - 30,500 claims in 10 days.
$3.24 B on 475,100 claims paid as of 1 August. (that is 42,100 claims in 15 days, all waiting since April) (and 11,600 claims in 5 days)
$3.42 B on 492,650 Claims paid as of 17 August. (that is 17,550 claims (waiting since April) in 11 days)

And I know they have still not paid out claims which were filed the 1st week of May. That was 16 weeks ago, withholding over $10,000 for these claimants.

Are you saying the Mayor of Portland is spreading reichwing bullshit?

Mayor Wheeler on rioters setting fire at Portland police building: ‘You are attempting to commit murder’

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - Mayor Ted Wheeler had strong words for rioters who blocked exits and started a fire at the Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct building.

“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder ,” Wheeler said during an online press conference Thursday.
On Wednesday night, a riot was declared at the Portland Police Bureau location on the 700 block of Southeast 106th Avenue.

Doors were broken, projectiles and fireworks were thrown at officers and rioters disabled security cameras. Tear gas and crowd control munitions were used by police to disperse the crowd.

“I believe that city staff could have died last night. I cannot and I will not tolerate that. This is not peaceful protests. This is not advocacy to advance reforms,” Wheeler said.

He said this during a news conference, so it's not like it wasn't recorded. I presume that when a Mayor ... and a liberal Democratic one at that ... accuses left-wing rioters of attempted murder, he's not just blowing smoke. I highlighted the relevant phrases to assist your apparently poor reading skills.

You see, UNLIKE YOU, I make sure of my facts before posting. You, OTOH, are infamous for spewing shit.
