You mean the cities with the largest population have the largest homeless population? Go figure!

Just kidding.

Actually, Houston is the fourth largest US city and isn't on that list. The mayor is democrat. And black. Philadelphia is fifth largest. Not on list. Mayor is democrat. Phoenix is sixth. Democrat mayor.

I don't know if you were being serious, but if so, there doesn't seem to be much connection between a city's homeless population and which party tends to run the city. Plenty of democrat mayors can keep the problem under control.

Not sure what's up with Seattle. Twentieth largest city but third largest homeless population? The democrat mayor there must suck. I'll give you that.

it’s because liberals are more tolerant and charitable.

i mean, if you were homeless—would you wanna beg from the bible thumpers in dallas?

imagine the horror of your christian brother sicking the cops on you for the “crime” of being homeless

lmao

they give them tickets so they can’t get ID

lol megachurch people

“thoughts and prayers”

plus new york is walkable and has better street theater and better restaurants that give food away when the shift is done.

oh look!

RE Seattle......why would a homeless person want to live in a city that’s so wet & cold? And sadly, this summer, so hazy from the fires?

Yup. That's why there are no homeless people in the UK. They think "fuck living somewhere wet and cold. I'll go be homeless somewhere warm. Seychelles here we come!"

A friend just came back from San Francisco said there's literally human shit all around some parts. Supposedly a recognised problem there now, linked with a massive spike in homelessness. Not the place for flip flops.

Not sure what that has to do with Trump, although I suppose he and Melanoma could be doing the pooping,

Speaking of shitting all over, Gail Collins column on Betsy Asswipe DeVoss was excellent as usual. Trump sure watching out for the little guy, MAFGA

1) Manafart guilty, possibly 80 years in prison
2) Michael Cohen pleads guilty on 8 counts. Admits violation of campaign laws at direction of Trump to pay off Stormy and Karen McD.

lock em up

evollove 08.21.2018 04:44 PM

The rally tonight should be classic.

I'm guessing "Illegals will kill you" will be the theme.

Up to minimum wage, as opposed to the subminimum wage he was likely paying his illegals? It's hard for me to believe the labor shortage argument when wages are still below a living wage level. What the crab man in your article is talking about doing (moving his operation to Mexico) is offshoring, which is yet another tool of the employers to keep US wages down. Should he do so, it would be the tariffs' job to take the profits out of his bringing his crabs into the US.

lol money does not create people out of thin air.

but it will pull them across borders

From now on when I find myself repeating myself in an argument with you, I'll just save myself work by saying 'See above". :D

may be “hard to believe”for you that we have reached full employment, but it’s hard for me to believe you’ve ever run a business, or worked in one, or have an understanding of prices, supply and demand, labor skills, work ethic, consumer needs, how markets work, scarcity, tradeoffs, “no such thing as a free lunch,” basic shit like that.

Donald: I tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor.

Rudolph: (If Trump were impeached) the American people would revolt.


Meltdown...

Chivalry not dead yet, but certainly on life support :lol:

Indicted Rep. Duncan Hunter: My wife handled my finances

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/23/polit...ces/index.html

buried in the indictments are evidence he had multiple extramarital dalliances while on overseas junkets. That's when his wife was using the campaign cards down in San Diego for Costco, fast food, etc.

I hope she pulls a "flipper" routine.

Indeed! By the way, all this talk about flipping has made me give this one some more spins (not that I needed a special reason; the record is already in my all-time top ten):
