Literally putting people out to pasture I guess? What is he even referring to with the "acres of area to camp"?

Yeah, because it's so important to have blank concrete under a highway.

Shooing them off is only gonna make them pop up somewhere else. Although I suppose the hope is that they'll die quicker to the elements when scattered.

That's how most homeless solutions seem to turn out.

But it's never about the cost of welfare, it's about maintaining the class structure so the homeless can't interfere with those higher up.

I liked the idea somebody raised of calling these Trumpvilles in an echo of Hoovervilles from the great depression, but maybe we should coin Abbotvilles instead.

This is a huge deal, Dannenbaum was a major donor to campaigns in Houston and statewide Republicans. He gave tens of thousands to City and County officials every cycle and received huge contracts from public entities.

Beto is done now, even if he ran for Senate he'd get crushed. He will make a lot of money giving speeches though. The speaking tour is pretty lucrative.

She’s a mediocre local party machine candidate tied into the local developers. But almost everyone else in El Paso’s government was the same.

She’s not going to be any worse than Beto was, but she won’t really be any better.

Group founded to prevent women from getting a medical procedure leads to women getting insufficient healthcare, who'da thunk.

I don't think I really understand conservatives talking about abuse and corruption. I think their definition of "corruption" is "the process of government", since that's what they seem dead set on preventing most of the time. Or maybe "corruption" is "any amount of welfare that could threaten the class structure, therefore being theft from the upper class". I don't think they're ever talking about embezzling public funds or endangering government programs or policies for self-enrichment.

Seems to me if you were a progressive or liberal millionaire or billionaire, instead of running a vanity campaign for president, you could do this. In all 49 remaining states.

The Texas Tribune really is an impressive outfit, they completely dominate statehouse coverage while all the big metro papers continue to cut back on their Austin bureaus. With all the G/O media poo poo going on everyone is trying to figure out a sustainable model for online journalism since Google and FB hoovered up all the ad revenue and this looks like one extremely likely and repeatable path. Sure they got started from a philanthropist, but only $1m of his own money and another $4m he raised from donors. Mean while softBank out here valuing office AirBnB at 74 hojillion dollars based on nothing.

Literally everything conservatives think about anything is projection.
