Denver Homeles crisis worsens despite $274 million spent
Excellent in depth article in Colorado Politics about the homeless crisis getting worse, not better. the Denver metro region has added more homeless individuals than any other metro region in the country since 2018, according to key metrics collected by the federal government.
But hey, good thing sanctuary city Denver added 40, 000 more homeless in the way of illegal immigrants, but according to Mayor Johnson it’s all Donald Trumps fault. With “leadership” like that, the problem will never be properly addressed.
Mike Johnston = doing something about the problem
Trumpy = using the problem as a campaign issue, and building a stupid, useless wall. Nothing else.
Really that simple.
And in all cases, Republicans blocking a chance for virtually ALL immigrants to work while waiting for adjudication of their status.
Mike Johnston. If you're gonna slag the mayor, at least get the right name. But nice to see you're as heartless as ever. And you've clearly forgotten when trump torpedoed the attempt to legislate immigration reform recently. But embrace your criminal defendant-candidate. He needs a hug.
FFS, allyn. You speak as though homelessness in Denver is an intentional act…a political ploy of some kind. Somewhere, in some universe, may be a town that thinks homelessness is cool and wants to spread the love. But, I think not.
Income inequity, lack of mental care, displacement from families, drug addiction and other problems dictate homelessness numbers, not policy decisions.
It will never change until the billionaire class, represented by the Republican party, is held to account and starts sharing the cost of taking care of societies’ weakest link.
Like their Savior bade them do.
MTG pulled the trigger…it was a blank.
Sorry, Madge….they are still not listening to you.
As I understand it, if Marjorie thinks it will gain her points with the Trumpsterfire. she'll have the abiity to keep bringing this back up repeatedly in the House. At least until someone injects a parasite into her brain, or feeds her a lot of seafood with high mercury levels (oh, wait, wrong thread).
So Johnson survived. The final vote was telling: 359 ayes (to table motion to vacate), 43 nays, seven present and 21 not voting.
The 43 nays were the usual suspects on both fringes: Andy Biggs, Cori Bush, Eli Crane, MTG, Paul Gosar, Summer Lee, Thomas Massie, AOC, Ayanna Pressley, Chip Roy, and Rashida Tlaib. To her credit, Ihan Omar had the sense to vote "Present" and not find herself on the same team with MTG.
