This is actually a states' issue imo. I don't see why people in Montana should be paying to house the homeless in L.A. and I bet they don't either.

The problem is that then the homeless move to the states that do help, causing overburden for those states. Its a national issue. Not a states issue.

Maybe Ivanka Trumps shoe factory has some openings???...

Luckily for the workers, L0cker is out there volunteering his free time to help the homeless.

If Ivanka needed a gluuuer for her shooooz he'd be at the front of the line

Our tweeter, or twitterer, or twit (yeah, that's it) in chief lashes out.

God help us when faced with an emergency here in the U.S.

The number one national policy priority after, during, and before healthcare is that we have a know-nothing, impulsive, narcissistic president calling the shots who needs to be removed, the sooner the better.

You mean the 'evil of two lessers,' don't you, Norton?

The new Democratic blood and youth have flocked to the Bernie/Warren reform wing while Obama owns the moderate and pragmatic establishment.

Ethical alignment has these two wings woven together at the margins which means there's no place in the party for the Clinton's and they're loyalist.

Perhaps the Clinton's should go form "The End Justifies the Means Party" with other like minded Dems such as Jessie Jackson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Harry Reid Charlie Rangel, et al.

^^^^

nice summation.

with, iirc, 72% of 18-29 y.o.s voting for bernie, the clinton arm and all of their, admittedly often hard fought/won, baggage should be relegated to history with just a little little more continued time/human passing.

Exactly- fade away with grace, forget party lineage and let your daughter forge her own way with those in the party that have a future.

HA! 75% of 18-29's DID NOT VOTE. They thought there was no difference between the two candidates.

And now that they've cluelessly f*#ked themselves with a right-wing SCOTUS majority for the next thirty years one can only hope that sometime before 2020 they will mature and WAKE THE F*#K UP!!!

The dems seriously screwed themselves and the country by not including on the ticket the man who got 45% of the electable delegates in the primaries because he was an outsider. Instead they went for the landslide and put lots of resources into Arizona and Texas but couldn't win a single battleground state. And the bumbling fools continue to blame Bernie.

I bet they want a do-over on that one.

^^^^^ This.

But, as I told my youngest son, this is no fun, but basically necessary, for us to wake the f#@& up and decide who we want to be as a country.
I don't think Muslim hating, science denying, anti-Mexican, anti-world is who we want to be...

PS, I know that JGill leans pretty far right, but I'd like to know specifically where he sits on Climate Change, Coal, Paris Accord. Why can't we lead the world on solar, wind, tidal generators, etc?

Yep. Unfortunately, the republicans are too spineless to stand up to the monster they created, even though they secretly grumble about his blatant unfitness.

Gill has already stated his position on climate change. He thinks fighting climate change will widen the gap between the working class and the rich.

Fighting climate change with renewables will actually provide the middle class with jobs, such as installing and maintaining solar panels.

Bullsh#t. Hillary was the candidate. Period. You either voted for her or you personally elected trump - head out of asses before it's too late.

How did that work out for you, Healy?

The Dems tried to dump their legacy, baggage laden, insider candidate on us with no concessions to Sanders and it just didn't work.

With a little thought, the Dems would have seen they could expand their base by including Bernie on the ticket as VP, but the bumbling fools thought they did not need to.
