And no armed national guard

Idiots.

Yeah. Why did the Feds NOT send the DC National Guard?

More like intentionally incompetent

Pete Buttigieg is mad as hell!
He is not going to take it anymore!
How dare his flight was cancelled!

LOL!

The Secretary of TRANSPORTATION tells the airlines to hire more personnel and you think there is something wrong with that? Take your ass to steerage.

We should see about forming a legitimate state west of Louisiana and south of Oklahoma. Nobody in their right mind seems to have any claim to the place now.

Since Lyndon B. Johnson launched the War on Poverty nearly 60 years ago, we have spent more than $22 trillion on social welfare programs. And what do we have to show for it? Stagnating wages, an even larger gap between rich and poor, the highest out of wedlock birth rate in US history, and millions of Americans on food stamps.
Almost always the answer to any of the above problems is more funding. More funding for schools, more funding for healthcare, and more funding for social programs across all levels of government. But if the persistence of poverty over the last several decades has shown us anything, it is that more funding  is often as futile as bloodletting. Why? Because none of these programs, as well intentioned as they are, address the root cause of our social dysfunction.

Fatherlessness.

Hey, Comically Transparent Partisan Hack you forgot to enlighten us about this:

 Nice sounding sentiments and platitudes about "cultural" change.  Such talk is cheap.  What specific actions, to be started right now, do you suggest?

Poverty isn't just a symptom.  It's a social ill that is also a cause of single parent homes.
That's why it's called " the cycle of poverty." You break a vicious circle by interrupting it.

In other words, you have no policy suggestions. Of course you do not, you Comically Transparent Partisan Hack. Republicans love to identify problems for which there are no real solutions even possible. It is at the heart of their thoughts and prayers position on gun control.

By the way, anyone who thinks LGBTQ rights and marriage equality are not endangered by reversing Roe should take a real hard look at the Texas Republican platform. As should any moderate or independent inclined to vote for that party. THAT is what they are voting for.

Oh I have plenty of suggestions starting with scrapping the futile policies of recent history.
We could also focus on the importance of the modern day nuclear family, two loving parents regardless of differing skin colors, differing religions, while accepting those who are of the same sex.
70 million Americans are 18 or under and one in every four is in a household of one parent. In large metro areas 55% are black.
Everyone has to have a hand in positive reinforcement of the two parent family, Churches, Hollywood, the Internet, all forms of government, and political leaders. We need to stop worrying about what bathrooms we use, or pronouns we choose, and focus on strong family life, community involvement, and those activities that are complementary.

Right. No policies, just thoughts and prayers. Got it. Though your condemnation of Republicans on the warpath over trans issues is welcome. That is the "focus" you were targeting,  right?

Continue your reading with blinders in the FULL ON position.
BYW trans issues   along with almost every social issue, cross political, religious, demographic, and age lines. It might be time for you to recognize that.

In spite of the fact that you are mainly shitposting, and generally not worth the keystrokes, I would like to reply to:

You just devoted several posts to the damaging effects of fatherless homes on children.  But now you are on board with "two loving parents...accepting those who are of the same sex."  So are you saying the key to solving our social problems is having fathers in homes, or in having two parents in homes?  These are not the same thing.  You are okay with two moms and no father?
