Still wondering how a $300 fine will solve that problem. #71 | Posted by truthhurts

Jail. Jail solves that problem. As I've said multiple times.

And, when an individual falls to the point of homeless, should society just bulldoze that person's home? #69 | Posted by LampLighter

If you want to let homeless people camp out in front of your house, have at it.

are you old enough to have said the same f'ng thing about Nancy Reagan ?
if you are I doubt you gave her the same "pass" cause 2 faced leftists don't do that.
#4 | Posted by shrimptacodan

Sorry, no clue what you're going on about. I never gave Nancy a second thought. At least until that stuff about Frank Sinatra and her horoscope/seance stuff came out.

Now Ronnie, on the other hand. That guy should have been impeached and done hard time, giving arms to our sworn enemies and convincing Iran to continue holding Americans hostage.

You could have had Bernie. Just sayin #2 | Posted by LauraMohr

Yes, the Jewish, socialist, atheist would have been a shoe-in. What were we thinking!

Arrogant much?? #26 | Posted by LauraMohr

It's arrogant to expect people who are able to do so, to work for a living and stop forcing others to live in their filth? At a time of near record-low unemployment? Then I guess I'm arrogant.

It is the only solution they see to continue living. That is why I have said to address the cause, not the symptom. Help them see other solutions. #27 | Posted by LampLighter

Lots of causes which will require varying solutions. Removing the able-bodied from the streets with threat of incarceration is only one step, but a necessary one.

But, once again, more compassionate communities are entirely free to let the homeless live as they please. It's their choice.

Yet you fail to realize that that ------- is trying to get arrested so he has a. food. b. clothing. c. shelter d. healthcare. the threat of incarceration is pointless. [...] #28 | Posted by truthhurts

But there is a point. Removing certain people from society has its own value. For the time the guy was in jail, those kids and parents didn't have to walk by his tent full of stolen bikes and the sign offering them free fent.

Locking up a guy for a year? $100K. Not having to walk by a guy offering drugs in front of your kid's elementary school? Priceless.

Why are the homeless there? #21 | Posted by LampLighter

But I guess some people like the Kensington, Philadelphia look.

Four months of videos like this playing in swing states.

The homeless are their citizens too you ignorant sap.
#15 | Posted by LauraMohr

Because they're citizens they get to ignore our laws, take public property for their personal use, and prevent others from using our sidewalks and parks for their intended purposes?

By overturning Chevron, the Supreme Court has declared war on an administrative state that touches everything from net neutrality to climate change.

Yep!

Here's a short video by a charming ------- explaining how this is the lynchpin of the GOP undoing decades of regulation:

Good thing I only drink from bottles I find on the sidewalk. Or tossed out the window by truck drivers.

The problem is you are talking about creating laws based on your "I think" not my "I've met and dealt with"

You seem to be making a number of (inaccurate) assumptions regarding my experience with druggies, criminals, and homeless.

This isn't playstation vs xbox debate and frankly "I think" will cause suffering and death. Of course on the plus side for you the suffering and death will be shoved out of your sight so I guess not your problem and you can continue on "thinking" that it worked.

If people insist on killing themselves, who am I to stop them? They have no right to drag me and my community down with them, though.

You will note I didn't say I disagreed with the SC on this one. I get that having homeless encampments is not just an eyesore but an actual danger to the nearby communities. Unfortunately simply pushing it down the road is not a long term solution. Like I said I don't have the solution, I just know what doesn't work at least for the junkie part of the equation. #59 | Posted by TaoWarrior

I have lots of long-term solutions, starting with how we handle the drug dealer murderers. But much of society doesn't cotton to that so the least I think we can do is give them the druggies they so desire.

Nope if a junkie needs the "stick" I can about guarantee that getting clean won't, well, stick. Addicts can vary rarely be forced clean for long. Long term recovery needs a desire to get clean. [...] #57 | Posted by TaoWarrior

Welp, I disagree, as I think that punishment is one of the factors that can help "create a desire to get clean." But communities that are anti-stick are still free to try their own methods without using the threat of criminal punishment.

Given the varying treatment of druggies, I guess we'll see which method, if any, is more effective. My guess, the junkies will gravitate to communities that let them do their thing. So this will work out well for everyone. The cities that don't desire junkies get to move them along, and the communities that want to coddle them will get to welcome them with open arms. Everyone will be happy!

On Friday, she was mocked for saying he did extremely well at the debate

Imagine that! A wife being supportive and sticking up for the husband she loves.

But let's check with Melania and get her take on it. Like when Melania showed up for Mushroom King's ----- payment felony trial and debate. Oh wait, she didn't? Odd.

"Despite Trump wiping the floor with Biden, his team is now rowing back on his attacks fearful the president might step down or be replaced."

That pretty much says it all. Joe is Trump's best chance of taking the White House (unless Dems decide to throw the election by swapping in Kamala).

Umm you become a junkie because you have mental health problems. Why would anyone in their right mind choose to be a junkie? Reminds me of a joke. Anyone who think they need therapy needs to get their head examined! #54 | Posted by donnerboy

Better than shooting a delivery driver, so it appears that Florida Man is evolving.

Beyond Joe losing, another concern I have is that he will be a drag on the Dems. They were supposed to re-take the House, but with Joe heading up the charge, I'm afraid that many Dem voters will find something less depressing to do with their time than voting for a befuddled, mumbling old man.

Biden Addresses Poor Debate Performance

Joe still has my vote, since the only other person who stands a chance of winning office shouldn't be walking the streets a free man, let alone be president. But I don't think there's any coming back from this for Biden.

Clips of his debate senior moments will playing non-stop in swing states from now until election day. Making what was a tough election almost unwinnable for him. Granted, I've been wrong plenty of times before, like when I concluded that Hair Furor had no chance in 2016, so what do I know?

Why Not Call for the Convicted Felon who Endlessly Lies to Step Down?

Because his supporters don't care. Which is one of the reasons why Republicans win.

While the liberals and others who make up the Dem base turn on each other at the drop of a hat. Although, to be fair, Joementia dropped far more than a hat at that debate.

Jill Stein 2024!

The price (proof) is in the pudding. Who pays for that? [...]
The defendant where they have the resources. There are also charitable organizations that do that sort of thing. And state/locally funded options, but space can be limited. Point being to compel people to clean up their act and stop externalizing the cost of their junkie lifestyle onto the rest of us for the rest of eternity.

Wouldn't it be better if mental health care was built right into a universal health care system so that it was easy to access by anyone who needs it regardless of your ability to pay? [...] #50 | Posted by donnerboy

Yes, although I was more focused on junkie-Americans rather than nutso-Americans.

As far as the mental wackos, many of them refuse treatment in the name of their freedom. So giving the homeless nutters the option of treatment instead of jail might work there as well.

And our prisons and jails do a piss poor job of rehabilitation. [...] #48 | Posted by donnerboy

Agreed. That's why many of our more enlightened communities offer defendants the opportunity to take drug rehab (outpatient or in-patient) as an alternative to prison/jail time. Once again, jail being the "stick" to the "carrot" of rehab. Because relying upon addicts to clean up of their own volition is not effective.

How much do you figure just to rent one?
