JD talks like the homeless just appeared from nowhere. Wrong. They’re vets, sons, daughters, neighbors the system dropped. They didn’t choose the gutter. Politicians like him put them there, now they want to bury them. That’s not fixing homelessness, that's turning you back on them.
There are only two solutions to homelessness. House people, or make it impossible for them to survive It’s clear which this administration has chosen
🎯
JD would eat crap if he thought it would bring him money and power. He is selling everybody out.
They are the next ones to be sent to the camps.
Exactly. No person *wants* to stand outside all day yelling at JD and his family. He and GOP see poor and mentally ill through their own lenses, completely incapable of stepping outside themselves to even begin to have empathy. This is not Christianity. Jesus weeps, again and again…
I was rereading about eugenics, and it’s history in the US. There were some really smart women who came up with opposition to that in the form of Euthenics, before they even had acquired the right to vote. We’d never heard of this woman w/o her teacher Important 🔗 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthenics
Would really help if the GOP would pay that $1 billion to DC for funding for judges, prosecutors, to our police officers and everything they owe them money for.
Also, in a lot of cases, definitely in my city and likely in Atlanta too, they're just... poor. They're not crazy, they're not druggies, they're not destroyed by PTSD. They're just people who can't afford first, last, and security deposit on a $2500 2 bedroom apartment.
Exactly!! Not all homeless people are crack heads!!!!!
Not to mention... I would probably become a crack head if I had to live in a tent in 100 degree heat, lost my job due to lack of reliable transportation or appropriate clothes or whatever, and kept running into issues like the cops busting up my encampment and throwing away my ID.
Maybe not a crack head, but those extremely harsh conditions can lead to severe mental illness that could have been managed with some medication and a decent place to sleep and eat. I’ve seen it happen over time.
That is how people often get 'lost' in this world sadly.
I have a reply but I can't reply.
He's speaking like the people are things. "Just pick up that old shoe and put it in the garbage. Now I don't have to trip over it"
Republican policies dating back to Reagan helped create and fuel the homelessness crisis. Unfettered capitalism, deregulation, and diminished mental health resources all contributed to where we are now. Those are largely due to republican dogsh*t policies/inaction.
Yes you would think he might have a shred of sympathy for vets or addicts but nope. Not JD or whatever his stupid name is.
Yeah... sociopaths don't have that. If they do, they simply don't care
We're not turning our backs on them. We're waging war on them. They'd be better off if we turned our backs on them.
So many vets…. Most are from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Wars started by a lying, incompetent Republican President.
Yes 💯
A much higher percentage of our defense budget should go towards our veterans.
Good luck getting money from a guy who hates veterans
How about all that ICE money?

And, after the destruction of human life wrought by the big brutal bill, the numbers will only grow. They are alway happy to use the destruction they cause to scare their ignorant, propagandized supporters to believe the victims are the problem, not the perpetrators.
Agree, instead of helping and finding solutions to their plight they want to disappear them. These are fellow human beings not the trash the trump regime seem to think of them as. Taxing the people who have so much money they’ll never be able to spend is one solution 😡
Such people are the proof of Republican “solutions” breaking people and society. Of course they want to vilify and sweep them away like trash. Every broken person is evidence of a sick society and the failure of “conservative” abuse of people as policy.
This administration is all about punishment
Punishment for some but not all.
We can thank their republican “hero” Reagan for much of the homelessness among the pop. with mental illness. Institutions were closed b/c “the community” was going to just magically create housing, case management, etc. It didn’t happen. FYI, it’s deeply offensive to label people “crazy”. 😡
Does he know how offensive it is to call someone crazy?
This man claims to be Catholic, but betrays every teaching. The U.S. has this new strain of nominal Catholics who only believe in harm.
exactly!!!
