Niagara Bill Posted August 12 Posted August 12 59 minutes ago, Wolfgang said: Dictator, out of control. President takes over capital by force, banning protests and leftist homeless. US government condemns the use of military in the banana republic against its own citizens. US and allies pause purchase of oil from the banana republic until freedoms restored as dictator gains more power and control. Dictator insists the continued roundup of so called descendents and illegals funded by leftists is to bring peace to the capital city. Army chief sats this type of activity maybe required in other leftist strongholds to promote safety.

Obviously, the police union is part of Trump's fascist conspiracy to impose "authoritarian" control over Washington DC and soon to follow in 2025 other major cities. Then declare martial law and postpone the 2026 mid-term elections. And in the process, round up the political opposition and put them in FEMA camps in preparation for deportation to El Salvador. 😀 1

You left out the internment of journalists and gay people. 16 minutes ago, Roundybout said: Why do you need armed troops to remove homeless people? I guess there’s not enough social workers to clear homeless encampments. Do you have a suggestion that is better than the National Guard? I know they are an extremely violent gestapo-like group but still.

She should not have cut the fire budget, she should have cut it from the police. Los Angeles’ homeless funding is state funding, not city funding. On 6/9/2024 at 1:49 PM, Roundybout said: I think many Democrats would like to cut the military/police budgets. On 7/11/2025 at 9:46 AM, Roundybout said: He’s been better recently. He is finally going in on housing development by signing two bills gutting CEQR. He’s also seemed to wake up on the homeless issue by allowing more police sweeps and mandatory rehabs. ⬆️ This one regarding Newsome is especially fantastic. An absolute classic in light of your present concerns. On 1/10/2025 at 11:59 AM, Roundybout said: They had no problem giving the stupid police more money. Why is that? It’s a little late to address the current homeless situation with a more robust welfare net, don’t you think?

Wacka Posted August 12 Posted August 12 DC has always been unsafe. We were planning to go DC foer a vacation i the summer of 1968 but MLK was shot and the riots occurred in many cities. So my parents switched plans and we spent a week traveling around the perimeter of NYS. We avoided NYC for the same reasons as DC. Got to visit NYC in 1991 and DC in 86 and 88.
All_Pro_Bills Posted August 12 Posted August 12 8 minutes ago, Roundybout said: Yes, fund the regular police and a more robust welfare net that will prevent these people from homelessness in the first place I'd be interested in how anyone could design a social policy to prevent homelessness. Because there are lots of causes, some chronic and some circumstantial. A person could be homeless because of a divorce, domestic abuse, death of a spouse, bankruptcy, loss of a job, chronic drug or alcohol addiction. Or they could simply have made the decision to "drop out" of society and deal with the consequences of the decision. I'm not a fan of the idea that pushing people out of the neighborhood solves the problem because they still have to go somewhere else. And I don't think a more "robust welfare net" is the answer. Its a do more of what's not working until it works type of solution. I'm not against the idea of helping people but from my experience of helping people it can go one of two ways. They're motivated to get back on their feet and use the support and financial assistance provided as a catalyst for them getting their life on track. Or, they become comfortable with the financial and other types of assistance and chose to spend their time doing nothing much to improve their situation. Because taking the assistance is easier than working. I think any assistance programs should be designed by social services experts, exclusive of any political motivation of any kind, to deal with both situations.

National Guard bad. You’re on fire again today. You won’t be able to top yesterday’s “CNN and NYT are lapdogs for Trump” but this is impressive nonetheless.
