-Are the homeless not also citizens?

Are you going to pretend a city doesn't listen to it's more successful tax payers, employers, law enforcement, and voters?

Any decent city NEEDS all of those folks.

-Sometimes people need encouragement; addicts would be an example of those who need some "stick" to go along with "carrot" to change their ways.

well yes....that's still going to part of how we address this challenge.

will be part of it.....

-But yes, by all means, let's keep shoveling resources at people who believe they live in a consequence-free zone.

being homeless is "consequence free"?

come on....let's get real. We WILL keep shoveling resources at this problem because it isn't going anywhere and this ruling doesn't change that. It's still a problem cities have to deal with.

And compassion and empathy will part of it........

"Some of you folks here have never hit on hard times and it shows in your disgustingly privileged attitudes."

and some of you here have never served on a city council, or volunteered at a homeless shelter, soup kitchen, donated time to your local United Way to help folks who are homeless or done anything really except bitch at people on an anonymous blog.

-disgustingly privileged attitudes.

I saw reasonable points.

what exactly are the "disgustingly privileged attitudes"?

at this point, the most disgusting points are being made by you......but I'll gladly accept your response.

"they don't care that Trump lies whenever his mouth moves."

I worry this country prefers a liar who lies coherently over the alternative.

I also worry Biden gets hammered by the media over his performance.

Everyone expects Trump to lie. Especially his supporters. He gets a total pass for it. CNN won't even call it lying. More like "pervasive misinformation"

Can't call it lying.

Biden sounded better than he has all night calling him a whiner.

That's it. Show some ------ emotion and prove you're awake. Talk faster and with some inflection.

I'd rather have a vegetable over Trump.

That sucks.

Settle down, Twoothy. You're freaking out.

This scares you, doesn't it?

-Angry Joe Biden is not a good look

Incoherent Joe Biden is worse.

Looking at these geriatrics reminds me we deserve our problems.

JFC

6 is funny also. I rarely find much funny here except hysterical rants.

Funny ... ..

They just got the charter thing ruled against them and they respond with this?

Why not just require teachers to hold confessions and distribute holy communion?

Thanks for all of that. I'm learning........

I voted for Biden
I'll vote for him again
I want this issue to help Biden, not hurt him.

But I am curious how an EO can make such an impact.

I'm not doubting the reduction in illegal crossings......

If you're not curious, that's fine.

40% fewer in only 3 weeks? People being the journey to illegally cross our border more than 3 weeks in advance....how is it possible to reduce this number by so much in so little time?

Because of an EO? That only stated we would approve fewer applications for asylum?

"broad restrictions on asylum claims"

To understand this better, this is saying the effect of Biden's order was that we would deny MORE applications for asylum and that knowledge lead to fewer attempts to cross our border illegally?

How would an EO impact illegal crossings? I can see fewer asylum approvals....but fewer crossings?

"Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond"

This is of no consequence, but I had to assume this guy is from the family that's been one of the largest donors to Oklahoma State University....yep.

irrelevant but I'm glad he stopped that.

"and competent and effective Democrats have to fix them so people don't get hurt.".....is the point.

"it's just pure contrarianism and a constant middle finger from people who are just miserable, bitter and angry."

Fair point.

If you can allow yourself to be divided from others over raw milk....well, you're pretty ------ in the head.

Guns, healthcare, schools, roads, infrastructure, etc..plenty of big issues of our time. Milk?

"ELECT MORE EFFECTIVE DEMOCRATS."

yes, this is common sense.

It will fly over the head of some here, of course.

"Elect more moderate and reasonable republicans" where republicans will win regardless is also common sense.

-13% of Americans know someone who died in the last 5 years because they couldn't afford medication or treatment.

I have 2 siblings who died under those circumstances. It wasn't the only reason but lack of quality healthcare was certainly a factor.
