In the meantime, Trump is shrieking to his MAGA idiots about the completely fake “danger” of letting your kids go to school and returning home with a sex change operation

Feel it still… In my ass
By Portugal The Man
Well not counting the MANY rumours about his adventures with Epstein; by his own admission he would grab women by the pussy without prior consent
I wonder if he’s delaying the sentence because he’s planning to lock him up for a few months.
My cynical brain tells me otherwise… after the election Trump would win which means he will not be sentenced at all or lose meaning nobody would care when the judge sentences him to the smaller wing of Maralardo for a week of house arrest
I’ve been saying this over a year ago… Trump will never see the inside of a jail cell. If you think the rich and famous are held to the same standards under the law, you should realize you just WANT to believe that, it is not something you’ll see in the real world
don’t forget he is also a rapist!
Because, on Trump’s side, it’s a full blown cult.
Trump can literally poop his pants on national tv and eat a mouthful of shit and his acolytes would clap in unison
However, most people not deranged enough to worship a politician could/would be turned off if that politician, Kamala on our scenario, blatantly lies or makes fun of a disable person or rapes someone
Again, it is not Trump’s PRESENCE, it is taking pictures for his campaign that is an issue here.
Even if the families who wanted Trump there (vomit) are OK with him breaking every rule anywhere he goes, it does not make it right
so… what’s the big trouble Ken Paxton is in?
He does another disgusting thing and people are mad… that is par for course for him
so the GOP wants to switch creepy couch-fucker with creepy brain-worm bear carcass dumper… and that is an improvement?!
Maybe it’s hindsight being 20/20 but, it seems so obvious ridicule would hurt a narcissist
engaged with roughly 215 people on the street
Key word being “engaged”, later they slipped in there that 80% end up not getting “helped”
Are they supposed to name the exact agencies and businesses involved
Yes, it’s called transparency. Maybe they didn’t have to mention them all but a single concrete example would have definitely helped.
But you know what they did repeat in the article? the fact that they are pushing for people not to give money to the homeless directly
Douglas County had created a team of experts, known as the “Homeless Engagement, Assistance and Resource Team," to help tackle the issue. The HEART team, as county officials call it, is made up of experts in behavioral health and who are deployed in branded vehicles to help people living on the streets.
Ok, that sounds like a great start… let’s see what they actually do… <insert crickets here, not a single follow up>
Here’s how the county handles it. When a report is made about a panhandler or a homeless person, a HEART vehicle is deployed to the area and make an assessment.
Yes, they are basically making panhandling illegal… they are very quick to dispatch police (yes the “HEART” team is also the police) as soon as homeless are reported
Laydon called Douglas County’s approach “housing plus,” which, he said, is a balanced approach to “trauma-informed practices.”
Cool, what does that mean? how it is balanced? how is it different?. Zero details = Vague
“For us,” Laydon added, “‘housing plus’ means wraparound. So, it is housing, but it is also food, shelter, job counseling, mental health counseling. It’s treating those substance abuse issues that we know often come hand in hand with a lot of the issues that the unhoused face.”
This one is actually the first sentence from the article that addresses the real question… yet no mention as to where any of these services are done. They are just shipping people off county The entire $3+ million budget was spent on the “HEART” team to basically find and ship homeless out of county… out of sight out of mind!
Edit: Additionally, I fail to see the relevance of money spent if it actually results in less people unhoused. Denver spent way more money and ended up with a higher unhoused population than before.
So if a county spends $3 million to move 37 homeless people out of county or $10 million to move 1 it’s all the same to you? A basic definition of the effectiveness of a social program is to measure that #1 it accomplishes the goal it set out to do and #2 at what cost…
Look, if they are indeed helping the homeless, KUDOS to them. But I’m far past the point to give any public service, specially so the Police, the benefit of doubt. Show me actual measures, concrete examples, verifiable information and I will happily eat my words and applaud. Even the title making it 86% when they meant 37 people in 2 years seems to be a gimmick to make the whole thing look better than it is
Did you?
They spent almost $3 million in helping 37 people in 2 years (that’s $81,000 a pop) with very vague “getting them help”. Very much looks like most of what they do is ship them to out of county
So he is doing what he did while President?
What does it matter what Graham says? His word is literally worthless by his own account
Bad candidates, bad policies, bad justifications, bad faith… The list goes on
So exactly JD Vance’s stand
Well I’m happy a war was fought to liberate them and bring them the joys of deMoCRacy and cheap beer
Enjoy those
headhard earned tiddies!Ps: sorry, auto correct wants to end my life
