Maybe free government run child care -no religion involved with my tax dollars though- that included some health services and was education focused is an answer. Parents would need to accept that the system needs to know about their personal lives or whatever else the system needed to know in exchange. Job workshops, or maybe jobs in the system, could help get the parents on track. And somehow, some way, we'd need to get comfortable requiring birth control and birth terminations for people that can't care for the kids they already have. Unfortunately, as ever, religion will be opposed.

No, you don't got it. It's glib to accuse us of wanting concentration camps next. However, instead the proposed sanitary living conditions that afford opportunities to escape the endless cycle how's about the rest of us, you first, get assigned one or two homeless or psychologically damaged folks to support and help every 5 years or so? No? Of course not, you just want your conscious salved by having a certain level of concern applied from a distance and at a reasonable cost; and to stay engaged you believe the conversation then must be limited to the level of concern and the cost. I have many European friends who are super frustrated at the tax price they pay after following a political philosophy of write checks and don't ask questions for so long. Gifting sufficient free money to live comfortably and freedom, no strings attached, is not the solution.

Maybe he'll just come to his senses and it'll all be a nothing burger.

Around these parts if you live in a tent with your dog alongside the highway you are likely white. The browner folks tend to have jobs somewhere.

Not at all. Jaywalking shows initiative and a desire to get ahead. Two of those and we put their tent and dog in your yard as a reward.

Soup kitchens, cots in a dorm, bathroom facilities, a public health clinic, psych services and a way to earn money to get out seems about right. Anything more, let the churches pay for it with what they don't pay in property taxes.

That is to say it is a basic human right to be provided for. That is a vastly different proposition than the idea that we actually help ourselves by helping those unable to help themselves. No matter, no sooner were the words typed than you took the idea to task in the three paragraphs that followed. This idea of basic rights that are the responsibilities of others is wrongheaded. We help others to benefit the collective and ourselves either economically or emotionally. But no way, no how, should we simply toss in the towel and agree that helping the selfish and the lazy is the cost of doing societal business any more than we should allow other types of thieves roam without penalty.

I read that. Speaking strictly to the question at hand and not the stupid bill, stupid Trump, or any other stupid thing, I certainly think that able bodied people should be contributing to society in exchange for what they are given be it health care, food stamps, or a dormitory bed.

One would have to talk to another to start and given that they are all there in self service I don't see it, much less two talking to another.

And to end the week smartly, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down today due to Trump budget cuts.

In a surprise to no one Ghislaine Maxwell, after talking to Todd Blanche, did not return to her maximum security prison former home. Nope, she's moving to a minimum security prison camp in Texas.

Big deal. He's now moving nuclear submarines closer to Russia to distract attention from his failures.

The only chick I ever banged on the Lolita express was Melania, I'm pretty sure, but it was dark.

He did not cheat at golf and the video shows it. His caddy dropped a ball, perhaps accidentally, which was apparently his and he hit it unawares and in good faith.

Who knows but you've certainly come to the right place for unbiased advice and the sample is sure to be large enough for safely betting your life.

Maybe we ought to raise the Presidents salary to a flat 10 billion per term, all invested in G7 treasuries, in exchange for their entire estate at inauguration.

More like one out of few dozen. You even have your own picture as your avatar here. No, you're an influencer alright.

You don't think you're an influencer here?

Yep. Now and again his learned opinions are exposed by someones reply and I'll run one through a grade level and grammar checker for giggles. I guess that's value of a kind.
-
That is indeed what you said. Good self quoting. Of course the point was something more nuanced than you can appreciate, apparently. The idea, that is the seed of the current discourse, is that Melania did enter the US illegally and must have lied on her applications (maybe she simply couldn't distinguish between sex work and other forms of work) and thus is in fact, by the terms of her naturalized citizenship as granted, here illegally. Of course there is little chance Trump will threaten her naturalized citizenship with revocation unless, and we can hope, he finds it convenient for some reason.

Seems to me that Japan got the better end of the deal.

Sure, but what is truly fascinating for me is the continuing lack of integrity by his enablers who comprise a very large number. Anyone with a moral compass that tends to point in the direction of truth and honesty should, at a certain point, be able to say enough. But it's not happening. You'd think Gabbard would have more integrity than to pander to Trumps desire to deflect from his actual association with Epstein by crafting a nonsense accusation of treason against Obama, but no. The list goes on.

How many newtons does it take to move one bitcoin one meter?

Blinded by the light, seems to me.

Speaking of woke, you're up early. Who said Trump?
