Yeah jail and just harassing the homeless enough that they leave the city are the only logical outcomes I can think of. So I can only assume that's the intent!

Yeah, and we're aware of it. A NIMBY would much rather spend their tax dollars to make homeless people conveniently disappear via prisons than to spend (what may overall be LESS) tax money on low-cost housing - which unfortunately keeps those same undesirables free and very much not-disappeared.

This is just not true and masks the real issue. Private prisons are tiny. Public prisons are often just as bad.

I'll call that JFC and raise you all-in:

https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1388517469128642564

Kansas State Rep (R-Wellsville) was arrested on charges of misdemeanor battery after getting into a physical altercation with a student while substitute teaching. As the tweet says, this story really, truly, is a million times crazier than that headline. I'd basically be quoting the whole article to capture it all but...

Kids started recording him during class so all this got out there.

That's just one incident in the article, I'd seriously be quoting the whole thing to try and cover it all, it's fucking unbelievable.

Though his fucking "response" is almost as fucking unbelievable.

Ok. That's still more than there should be because even if you think prisons need to exist, there is absolutely no societal good that comes from them being for profit. It should be 0%.

And yes, if we want to get really radical here, we can get rid of almost all public prisons too. It's part of the whole abolish thing.

I cant do anything about the haters. Nope, thats beyond me. But I do listen to T-Swift. I shake it off. Always will.

I am beyond tired of attending funerals of our kids. I will scream that from about anywhere. If that upsets you, we probably dont have much to discuss, so perhaps your keyboard is the best place for you.

Homeless people aren't undesirable because they don't live in a house, it's usually the drugs, violence and general disregard for society that does that.

McConnell: WHERE IS THE BIPARTISANSHIP!?

Also, McConnell: I am focusing 100% of my efforts on stopping this President.

That's all Republicans do. They oppose whatever Democrats support, and then have zero plans to help Americans because all they care about is power. And their voters lap it up because it's easier to oppose liberals than it is to have a plan of any sort. That's why Donald Trump took over the party, and McConnell is the reason why. McConnell enabled Trump, and he only has himself to blame. And he's trying his damndest to enable the next one.

Too bad Manchin and Sinema will go along with McConnell instead of falling in line. Apparently we should only expect voters to fall in line, not senators with any actual real power.

When the Dem voters fall in line, that just gives chucklefucks like Sinema and Manchin cover. We can stop anything good! Our voters want us too!

Remember the goal of the recall is just to get as many yes voters as you possibly can.

So a crowded field where you just appeal to whatever idiots you can is what they want. The way California works, if you get "Yes" to win you will end up with a Republican governor.
