I can be a representative for the homeless people, because I was homeless for 2 years, and I can verify that not all of the homeless people are on drugs, or are mentally ill, I did not become mentally ill until later, being homeless helped to contribute to making me mentally ill. I just needed an honest job that paid enough to pay rent and to buy food and to live. Being close to the movie studios, I trained for the movie industry, but I would have done any honest job that paid enough to buy a home and raise a family.

Not all of the homeless people are on drugs or are mentally ill, some people just need an honest job that pays enough for food and shelter. 

I can represent the homeless people, I was out there homeless, and I was clean and sober with a college degree begging for work. If Disney would have hired me 30 years ago then I would still be working there.

We have 60,000 homeless people in Los Angeles, and many of them are great people like me.

We need to make sure that the homeless people vote in the elections, and we need to help our homeless people.

And even planting orange trees and picking oranges and making orange juice, it is way better to work instead of being homeless.

We also have forest jobs, especially during fire season.

Salute,

Tony V.

God sends me strong helpers, when I lived in Malibu one of my roommates was the daughter of a general in China, talk about a body guard, she was the daughter of a Chinese general.

And my friend Rose was a cousin of Gloria Arroyo who was the President of the Philippines, God has sent me a lot of good helpers from the Philippines.

God sends me strong helpers.

Salute,

Tony V.

The conservative political culture is no more inhumane, less fascist, and as likely to stop its brutalizations of its own accord as the Russian army trying to colonize Ukraine. These are just as real just as fascist a minority trying right now to colonize us. They may be armed differently at the moment but they are in both cases resorting to use of force to do harm break down resistance and accumulate power. These are very basic very bad people. They must be shown that what they have done so far is not ok but also that it is going unimaginably badly for them or they will never get the chance to reach the stage where they are marginally educable and potentially redeemable so they might be one day brought back into society.

As long as they are off the bench, they can go to that big farm upstate and spend all day chasing rabbits.

Harbinger of times to come in the US or at least a lesson for us to consider?

 I will not  repeat the insulting post of our teenage global moderator .
Rather hysterical it comes on the heels of him lecturing other posters about lacking decency.

But while on the subject  of SCOTUS. The Dissenting Opinion published Friday by the three liberals was sadly inferior in arguments except to spend a lot words DEFENDING Roe. 
Pretty weak since many liberals have roundly criticized it over the past 50 years.

I suggest Josh edit his picture to include Dunce Caps for Kagan, Breyer, and Sotomayer.
But of course that requires reading their words.

I imagine he will return the favor, and not repeat your insult. 

Many liberals have critiqued Roe, with the hope of strengthening its protections.  Casey v PP was one opportunity to do so.  Dobbs v Jackson WHO could have been another, had the majority rejected the State of Mississippi attempt to replace the science on viability with its own science fiction.  The Court could have further refined the understanding of viability as a defining feature of legal personhood, and how the mother's rights as a person are weighted, but chose instead to discard all that and reference 19th century concepts like "quickening" - yes, I read the syllabus.  As if ancient "tradition" could possibly be a roadmap in thorny bioethical problems.  Or determining the rights of women.  Or people of color.  Or LGBT.  We have all seen how well the prior centuries have done with those other rights.

 Go green...get an e-bike and save the planet...they say.
2 girls shown on my tv last night did that...their charging e-bike caught fire "downstairs" while they were asleep "upstairs".

Luckily the "toxic masculinity" firemen with their big ladders and big muscles arrived, entered the building and carried them to safety.

e-bicycle?
I'd rather have a coal-fired one...there's no fire station close by.
Or a petrol-driven one.....mmm, then it'd be a motor cycle.
