    Sacrificing the homeless on the alter of distraction. Foder for the powerful.

      Or is it uniquely awful now in a way it wasn’t before?

        It’s always awful.

        Both sides fuel the homelessness epidemic. Both sides bomb Palestinians. Both sides are in the Epstein files. It’s almost like they’re basically the same side, but one’s drunk a little more of the Koolaid.

        It’s always been awful. We have always sacrificed the homeless and the poor on the altar of “political progress”. It’s pretty par for the course in the United States.

        It’s particularly egregious, though, when it’s done by a United States sitting president. Especially for the incredibly petty reasons he’s doing so.
