Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

and how would cramming a bunch of homeless people on an aircraft carrier help them? it's not really designed to house civilians. and what would they do for work? there's not exactly a transit system to get them to and from jobs, medical appointments, necessary social services, etc. They'd be stuck on the ship.
you should look into what life on an active naval vessel is like-- it's not exactly conducive to either civilian life nor to taking care of a bunch of homeless people who have complex social, psychological, and medical needs. this wouldn't solve any problems and owuld create a lot of new ones-- not to mention that we need those aircraft carriers.
if being in ship is not a workable solution, he could always sell the ship to fund programs to relieve homelessness
it's pretty telling that you can't simply imagine a solution where more money is appropriated to fund such programs rather than the absurd notion of selling of critical military hardware.
>it’s pretty telling that you can’t simply imagine a solution where more money is appropriated to fund such programs rather than the absurd notion of selling of critical military hardware.
there's no evidence i can't imagine a solution such as that, only that i havent presented one here
and how many air craft carriers does one navy need? i think most countries get by without any.
your comments abound with such evidence.
more rhetoric
you clearly don't know what that word means, lmao
either way, just because yo choose to ignore evidence doesn't mean it's not there.
>just because yo chosoe to ignore evidence doesn’t mean it’s not there.
you haven't presented any evidence for your claim
you have presented plenty. your comments are full of it :P
wrong
just like Trump*
> lmao
this smacks of an appeal to ridicule
facing the consequences of your actions is not a state of victimhood
but that's not what's happening here. this is like a domestic abuser saying they wouldn't beat their spouse if they kept the house clean. it's straight up darvo.
if you're hallucinating so hard that you believe you're my spouse and im beating you for not cleaning the house, you're not going to convince many people that you're making a rational argument.
otherwise, you're just projecting and deflecting just like trump
>you clearly don’t know what that word means
wrong
now you sound just like Trump
just the one trolling tactic for the day, then?
now your projecting again
just like Trump
more pigeonholing and darvo
now your projecting again
just like Trump
absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
to quote you:
no, this is basic logic.
clearly, you don't know what that word means
wrong
just like Trump
wrong
just like Trump*
air craft carries can certainly provide medical treatment and social services on site
not that type of help or for that number of people all at once for a sustained amount of time. but, sure, go ahead and provide evidence for you claims that battlefield medicine on a battleship is the same as long-term medical and psychiatric care provided to civilians.
>you claims that battlefield medicine on a battleship is the same as long-term medical and psychiatric care provided to civilians.
i didn't say that. this is a strawman
you clearly implied it when you said that medical care would be available for them. i merely highlighted your profound ignorance on the subject.
the consequences of your actions are not a state of victimhood.
you inferred it. you're now suggesting I implied it.
ah, the Reverse Gish-Gallop.
nice try
no. it's just pedantry.
now you're deflecting again
just like Trump
more pigeonholing and darvo. surely you have other dishonest tactics you'd like to hone
now you're deflecting and projecting again
just like Trump
there is no reason they need to work
uh... to support themselves by earning an income? being unable to afford housing is most often the reason they're homeless in the first place.
