Around here, the only people I've ever seen with signs begging for $ are white. There was a guy in Alexandria who had a sign that said "Not gonna lie, just want a cold beer". Several of them look like they are on some hard drugs. There are two guys that we've given $ to up there & both of them are missing limbs. There was a black homeless guy I saw who was rummaging through trash cans to look for food-- he refused to take any $ when offered.
I think it's a misconception that it's only liberals who are on welfare & mooching off the system. It's also a misconception that all of the people on public assistance are lazy & won't work. I know Trump supporting Republicans who don't work and are on every form of public assistance they can get. Many of them bounce from the homes of various friends (or maybe I should call them marks). They move in, mooch, steal, then have to move out once they are no longer welcome & move on to the person. I also know a lot of liberals who work their ***** off & don't get any public assistance. And of course, I know both Democrats & Republicans who work & still rely on public assistance to make ends meet. Around here, most people need public assistance bc the prices are so high & the wages are so low.
As for the welfare system, I think it started to become a problem when Jimmy Carter started calling it "entitlements". There is a reason his mother didn't like him (he often talked about how she disapproved of him). She knew what a scumbag he is. Sure he does publicity stunts where he poses for stuff with HFH (where he couldn't even use a paint roller properly and held a hammer backwards while pretending to hammer in a nail).
It is really crappy about the legislator saying she will only work with a Democrat. Now, if she'd said she wouldn't work with Trump because thought what he was doing was harmful/criminal/unconstitutional, it would be one thing. But just being partisan? That is no way to operate-- and both sides are guilty of it.
We really need to oust all of the people who play the partisan BS & refuse to work with people from the opposing party. We need people who can at least try to work together & not just ********* every idea/bill just bc it came from the other party. We need people who can really have rational conversations & negotiate. People who actually care about the country & constituents-- not just their donors. But, I think we are a long ways from finding people like that at this point in time.
My issues with Trump have nothing to do with him claiming to be Republican. He was a Democrat for a long time. This is a guy who was best buds with Bill Clinton & used to support Hillary. He only changed his tune after more meetings with Russians. I think they got to him and I think they pushed him to run for president to act in their favor. It would explain his pro-Russia stances & how he regurgitates talking points from Russian state news.
In recent news: Manafort was found guilty of 8 felony counts (out of 18). The other 10 hand hung jury & can be tried again-- maybe this time with a sequestered jury. Trump's lawyer, Cohen just plead guilty to 8 counts as well-- and he specifically said that he committed a felony under direct order from a candidate (Trump). Pretty sure we'll see some unhinged tweets from Trump about it later on. He'll either say Cohen was manipulated into false confession or he'll say he was straight up lying & go on to say what a horrible person he is, etc. Then he'll complain about rigged witch hunt again. Bonus points if he brings up Hillary.
I will say that the guy Trump criticized for seeming unhinged on TV- that is one time when I actually agree with him. That dude shouting and telling the interviewer to "get out" was just cringeworthy. He could have made his points by talking calmly & explaining any misconceptions-- but instead he got mad and blew his lid. Not a good look for anyone.
