Man it really is the Obama years with "how is X supposed to fix stuff in Y days???"

I feel like asking average people to have full solutions to the government's problems is new though. Sounds to me we should just not bother having an elected government if they are so bad at their jobs it's up to random twitter users to tell them how to do them.

Two weeks ago, people were getting probed for predicting the concentration camps would be just as bad under Biden as Trump. The Libs in UsPol were insistent that Biden's centers would be better.

Then the reports of the camps being just as bad started to come out. The feds blocking lawyers from seeing the children, the lack of beds, and family separation still happening. The mod response? Probe anybody who calls them concentration camps. Lmao.

The Nazis didn't run concentration camps either! They were labor camps! God! So much for the tolerant left. :rolleyes:

The last time the camps were brought up, I suggested we could dump a ton of funding into the foster care system. Fast-tracking the paper-work and background checks, paying foster care parents more, and even paying those willing to move to the border to help look after than children.

The mods said, “maybe you should listen to people who know the foster system hmmm? :smug:” and then immediately disappeared when I told them I have had three foster licenses from three different states and have housed multiple teenagers and adolescents in the last decade, including being a legal guardian of one. :v:

I was told I was crazy to think that dems would rehab Trump's reputation. They're going to have to because Biden's going to keep doing the poo poo trump did.

You know Elizabeth Warren had these "plans" but Biden had to be a sexist pig and run against her. Now we don't have plans for anything.

that was such a good bit, like yea there was a moment when multiple people were just saying 'okay it's not perfect but wouldn't this be a job for the foster system, and we can spend the time and resources we're dumping here on making sure this is a speedy and well funded process?' and then like five perverts who's only experience working with the foster system is watching ABC Family dramas yelling that that's literally impossible

i would simply put up a "you must be this tall to enter without an adult" sign at the border to keep out unaccompanied children. Everyone else would be given one of those vibrating buzzer things they give you at Cheesecake Factory that will buzz when it's time to have your immigration case heard, and you can just wander around america and check out the gift shop until then.

my family was a foster home for kids and while I cant imagine it was ideal for any of the kids (we were strangers to them after all), it was a poo poo load better than a cage with a mylar blanket. I played legos with the kids that came into our house

Lmao. My favorite part is the libs arguing against the idea because the foster system is underfunded. NO poo poo. If only we could do something about the funding! IF ONLY THERE WAS A HEAD FUCKER IN CHARGE WHO COULD CAMPAIGN ON THAT!

yea for people who are obsessed with 'don't let perfect be the enemy of good' as a shield against any critiques D&D sure didn't understand that while the foster system isn't the ideal situation for either party, it's a lot less traumatic than being kept in a loving concentration camp and denied showers and phone access and poo poo!

no one can do anything sorry. the supreme court decided in 1998 that funding for the foster care system has to be randomly drawn from a big bingo ball containers and it would take a constitutional amendment to change it. yeah i don't like the system either but we literally have to follow all of its rules or else we'll look like assholes when we criticize republicans for doing whatever the gently caress they want when they're in power.
