I mean I get the whole ‘if we can take in and home people from a different country, why can’t we do that for our own’ argument… buuut I don’t think that homing refugees means that a homeless vet misses out lol. We haven’t helped them and we still won’t help them. Once someone in the uk becomes homeless, there is very little help and understanding there.

Two completely different situations tbh. Both terrible but I don’t think someone is automatically racist for bringing it up. Maybe just read the room or something, idk

Biden was still a better choice than re-electing Trump.

Not least because this would 99.9% have happened under Trump anyway.

The misunderstanding is that homeless veterans are homeless because there's no home available for them. They're homeless because they've been left with their mental health in an abysmal state, serious trauma, often substance abuse issues, and those thing mean they can't manage a normal home (keeping up with rent, bills, just general upkeep of a home). Even with benefits, the system is totally flawed in that if you let things slip it all falls apart. In fact for most street-homeless, it's support that's lacking, not housing.

Yeah, cos everyone who thinks Trump would have done better must all think exactly the same, eh? Such wild sweeping statements are the sign of a rigid, extremist outlook.

bots 27-08-2021 03:02 PM

it depends what you mean by trump would have done better. If you mean the explosion yesterday, there is nothing he could have done differently. The americans got many people out the country, i dont think trump would have done better in that either

The ball was rolling and the dodgy deal with the Taliban was made under Trump though... I wonder what people think would have been handled better? I'm not saying it couldn't have been, even with the ball rolling it could have been done with much more care and attention... I'm not saying someone couldn't have done better... but in what world do those words make people think "Trump"?

arista 27-08-2021 03:55 PM

Yes But Trump was going to get all out
before his leaving in May

And he was going to give them all the ability to poop solid gold so they'd never need to worry about money again.

We have no idea who he would or wouldn't have managed to evacuate... he can SAY that he'd have got everyone out, but he says a lot of things.

bots 27-08-2021 04:58 PM

im not defending biden because he has been dire, but trump spews out bollocks constantly as we have seen for the last 6 years.

He is keeping quiet about his lawyers being censored for lying in court
