Well, Westeros wasn’t/isn’t a city, but you know that. Nevertheless, the thought of dragons in the solution might have promise . . .
Well, when asked how he'd have handled the Iran Hostage Crisis he advised he would have taken a bunch of Shia up in a helicoptor and just started dropping them out until somebody gave up.
So, yeah, interesting. Or loony. He also probably knows more about the Kennedy assassination than any person who hasn't written a book about it (he should have) and probalby many who did (look, I'm not ashamed to admit we traveled to Dallas when I was younger for a conference and I visted the Bethesda Naval Hospital when i was 12 (he still doesn't call it Walter Reed) . But, whatever you do, never ask him about it. Unless you've got at least 12 hours to kill.

I think some live that life by choice. Others have mental health. Shitty luck. We should definitely fund support at whatever levels are required imo.
. . . .And then you’re presented with the bill. Several trillions?
No conspiracies, they’re incompetent and their policies don’t work. It’s simple.
This quote?:
“If we stand passively by while the centre of each city becomes a hive of depravation, crime and hopelessness…if we become two people, the suburban affluent and the urban poor, each filled with mistrust and fear for the other…then we shall effectively cripple each generation to come.”
The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that.
But the demonizing of those with good intentions is new and destructive. WE used to call them misguided. Now they are devils or the dreaded "others"? SMDH
I have a hard time believing when Biden talks about white supremacy or racism he does it with good intentions. From “back in chains,” to “both sides,” to “the threat of white supremacy” Biden shows his intentions are not conciliatory . I think he is deliberately pandering and doesn’t care about unifying the country.
Exactly. It’s against the law in every state to appropriate public property for private use. We all know that Amazon cant Use a public park to store its trucks. Yet leftists permit homeless to live in public parks. “Nobody is above the law” only works for some people, but not others.
A problem we have today is that this brand of politician, on both sides really, only considers their own interests. So the restaurant owner with the homeless guy posted in front isn’t considered. Or how these policies impact the owner’s viability. And I agree we have to run the homeless off. But they are people too. And we should have a plan for improving their lot.
Having spent considerable time with nonprofits and social workers who now identify as progressives I agree that they are well intentioned
“I'll have them ******* voting Democratic for the next two hundred years. [Said to two governors regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to then-Air Force One steward Robert MacMillan]”
― Lyndon B. Johnson
We can start the improvement process by stop being enablers. Too many are too tolerant of destructive behavior because changing things involves difficult and seemingly callous standards. A case in point is many cities have decriminalized taking a crap or taking a piss in public because to do otherwise would “criminalize being homeless.”
Well, yeah. His intentions (vis a vis poverty or racism) might be good but he's busy demonizing others. That is a problem. And it doesn't help.
I'm sure he cares about unifying the country but secondary to dividing the Republicans. He is, of course, absolutely not special in that regard.
Agreed about the NGO’s and government social workers. They do yeoman's work for meager pay. , But can we say the same for those looking for votes?
America is scared, as soon as any action is taken that can be construed as hard against what is deemed an "underprivileged" person it feels like the end of the world. Talk to police and many that are public servants and they will tell you, the current climate is geared in the wrong direction. I blame the media as a huge component of the problem.
Our bank took part in building a home for a young mother and her kids done through Habitat for Humanity this past weekend. The young lady was so grateful and it was fulfilling work, the only issue is they personally saw at least 10 drug deals going down close to the new home. This young lady is getting the opportunity of a lifetime and has to indure those type issues while raising kids. We try to break the cycle, but sometimes there are many who do not want the cycle to be broken.
It’s nothing but politics with Biden. Those kids at Howard didn’t need to hear the garbage Biden spewed at their graduation.

Maybe we can help send them to Sicily?

Nix that. This might be my plan B if the mountain falls through. A nice sleepy village in Sicily, renovating a house. McMurt, this is how you win her back!
A California-based woman bought 3 abandoned houses in a Sicilian village for $3.30, cashing in on Italy's desperation to repopulate its fast-emptying ghost towns
Rubia Daniels is in the midst of renovating them and says Italy's €1 housing scheme is "an environmental concept."

None of the homeless want to be helped. That's the problem.
And they don't want to go to a military base - there's nothing there. They can't be a public nuisance, which is what they want to be. Drugs would be harder to get there.
Enforce the laws we have on the books, for a start. Then, we can go from there.
Take the ones that do want help. The elderly and young first. Take them from their parents. Sue me. We’re doing society a favor. There are some problems which can only be solved by a frontal assault. Nibbling around the edges does shit.
It might cause a constitutional crisis but let’s see how it plays out.
Sure, I'm fine for those that want it. I'm afraid the number is much smaller than you think.
I do wonder what the hell the Colts are going to do if Anthony Richardson wants to keep his college moniker.
Quite tonedeafedly “AR-15”. That’s not gonna work.
Could be. Still think we should find out. And it could be federal.
Now I just need to get elected. Nah, too many pics and public records for that.
Yep. Army. I think he went over in ‘67 and came back in ‘68. Medic but never saw the front lines. Mostly in hospital.
And that is complicated by Federal court orders because, as you acknowledge, they are people too and have some pretty basic concerns that are legitimate.
