Guess I did say it before.

Maybe a different way to say it is in order.
I agree. Please say what you mean in a different way, which doesn't sound like bad Jim Morrison poetry.

Have you ever spent any time at all in a 3rd world country?
I have. While I was in the Philippines during the reign of Ferdinand Marcos, there was a brave newspaper editor who published opinions against him. One of Marcos' known political lieutenants had the editors three daughters kidnapped, murdered, dismembered, and their bodies stacked on the editor's front porch one morning. He let it be known he did it as a warning to Marcos' political enemies.

The Philippine Supreme Court issued a warrant for that man's arrest. The evening that the news of the warrant was made public, that man was having a dinner party at his villa. A television reporter managed to get a moment to question him on the Supreme Court's warrant: Would he turn himself into custody?

The man said, and this is a close quote: "When I get the warrant in the mail, I will certainly turn myself in. But you know...the mail in the Philippines is very unreliable."

  1. Recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Just OK huh? I put it 2nd on his list of accomplishments because whenever anyone talks about religious credentials of a politician, no one can hold a candle to the man of action. Wasn't Jesus Jewish? I thought I read that somewhere.

LOL! So what? A Man of Action who thinks he doesn't need to ask God for forgiveness because he has never done anything wrong.

I'm curious:
Do you think Trump has to pray to ask forgiveness from God for anything?



How does it improve the life of the average American for the capital to be moved to Jerusalem? There is no Christian expectation of any such thing and yo ucharacterizing that way appears just desperate to find SOMETHING worthy of a christian label.

Why are you talking about them as if they are a huge monolith? Yes there are DEFINITELY people with "vices" or "lifestyle choices" that keep them on the street.

But the massive recent influx of homelessness isn't due to that. It's due to skyrocketting greedflation, specifically in the housing market.
Considering what happened to those hotels, I'm not sure that's relevant. In other words even when it comes to free housing they do things that would get them evicted.
And yes....I DO think that if you give people a stable home, many of them will straighten out....
Read up on Finland's findings....here's a short vid:
Finland is a tiny country.
I haven't yet figured out Christians, who should be extending mercy and grace to others, ask questions like this. As if those poor people "aren't even worth trying to help"....because that seems to be the implication.
I believe what they need is the right kind of help. They also have to want that kind of help. Just giving them a salary isn't going to achieve that.
Uh. I used that as an example to show that the US is not like a third world nation. It's perfectly applicable.
You're using examples of what's not going on here to refute what's happening.

I always laugh when I see comments from people who compare the US to a banana republic or a third-world country. They don't have a clue about the level of corruption that takes place in the developing world or how political opponents are dealt with. Not to mention the levels of poverty and the income disparities between the elite ruling classes and average citizens. There's just no comparison between the United States and any of the countries that would be considered third-world or banana republics. It's not even close.

Finland is a tiny country.
So? How is housing in an URBAN setting relevant to the physical size of an entire country? The results show the opposite of what you claim so if you want to debate this point, it would help to start to see what happenned and meaningfully critique the results or details.
I believe what they need is the right kind of help. They also have to want that kind of help. Just giving them a salary isn't going to achieve that.
I would bet that for 60% of people it would do EXACTLY that.

I'm using the examples to refute the LABEL of what's happenning.

Important difference.

I'm not a democrat, I'm worse. I'm Canadian.
This whole time I thought "CA-Greens" meant Green Party of California. It's the first thing that comes up after googling ca-greens. And of course "Up your nose....wid a rubbah hose." as a location suggests New York.

I don't have time for a 26 minute video. And by the time I do, it'll probably have gotten buried in this thread and I'll have forgotten about it.
I would bet that for 60% of people it would do EXACTLY that.
Could you explain what "it" is in a nutshell?

Why not address what is happening and explain why those particular things don't resemble any third-world country anywhere at all. Rather than picking a particular thing in a particular third-world country to say that doesn't happen here?

It's kinda deceptive. Is there some reason why when debating US news and politics, you don't want people to know you're Canadian?

I'm sorry, I'm going to go off topic a little bit but this is a pet peeve of mine.

no.
No.
NO!

There is no such word in the English language as "moneys". It's just "money". It's an abstract concept and not a calculable one. We cannot go: one money, two moneys, three moneys, etc.
There is no amount of money that causes it go from money to moneys. $5 is money, $10 is still money, not 2 moneys.
It's always just money...
Well, sort of and no. There is no "moneys" but there are "monies". It's a financial term generally referring to discrete piles of dough rather than to the aggregate.

Now that I got that out of my system, back to the regularly scheduled programming.
This is not going to be overturned by NYS, but who knows what USSC might do.

Does anyone think Donald will see the inside of a jail or prison cell for this?

The GOP is like one of those mice with parasites in the brain that makes them attracted to cat pee, meaning it is devoting all its resources, especially funding, to one and only one candidate. I heard that the Minnesota State GOP has $53 in its coffers. I remember how some people complained that Sen. Clinton controlled too much of the Democratic Party's funds, but the Trumps have completely coopted the Republican Party (RIP).
