In a blow to liberals everywhere, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to bring back insane asylums and mental institutions.

President Donald Trump revealed that he had signed an Executive Order to bring back mental institutions and mental asylums, stressing the importance of getting 'people off the streets.'

During a press briefing on Tuesday, Trump highlighted the accomplishments of his administration.

'[I] Signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums,' Trump said. 'We're going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers, but you've got to get the people off the streets.'

No voting booths in the nut house

No problem. You can count on Democrat vote harvesters to do the job.

If anyone wants to ban something, I suggest that this practice is a good place to start.

‘ How would an EO even do this?’

It can’t, but shhh, don’t tell anyone.

I recently went back into the workforce (restaurant) and I regularly come across people you describe. Our policy is if they buy food they can stay for a while but if not, they have to leave. If they try to get customers to buy them food they have to leave. Some of these people are downright crazy, one guy told us he owned our restaurant chain and he talked to “gods”. Scary stuff.

We have about a dozen that we are told to call the police if they show up, no hesitation.

We need institutions again

Long overdue.

Just this week we had three elderly guys killed in Kississimi
Florida by a person who had been declared insane in a prior court case.

I think I know why Ketanji Brown had trouble explaining what a woman was.

A conservative state, for example Tennessee, should pass legislation forcing vagrants without means of support to be arrested for vagrancy. Instead of just breaking up homeless camps, the arrestees should be subject to mandatory mental and addiction screening. If they are determined to be mentally ill or addicted to drugs and alcohol, they should be sent to mental hospitals, where they would at least get three hots and a cot, as the old saying went. Those who are not mentally ill or addicted but are physically able should be sent to something like the camps set up for unemployed men under the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The elderly or disabled who are not insane or addicted should be sent to what used to be called county homes.

Such actions would lead to court cases, where the Federal judiciary will get a chance to revisit decisions from the Warren and Burger Court days. Roe v Wade was overturned, so 50 year old Supreme Court decisions can be reversed.

Sounds good. But who gets to define mental illness?

The USSR pioneered the weaponization of "mental health" against anyone who disagreed with the regime. Communist democRATs carry on their tradition.

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, I think you're wrong.

Ketanji Brown Jackson is neither stupid nor insane in the clinical sense. She is evil. She also knew/knows she cannot give an honest answer to the question "what is a woman?" because doing so would vitiate her ideology.

Our society adapts well as our environment changes, new tech, new threats, etc. We are very fast passed in how our social norms and laws evolve. But that is both good and bad.

We are also highly inconsistent, break promises, and chase fads/trends. Look at the green climate change junk. Or where we destroyed young healthy kids, sacrificing them on the LGBTQIA altar (puberty blockers, etc).

We are EXTREMELY faddy / trendy, and if you’re not on board with the next big fad, we’ll fire you from you job as with Covid vaccines. Moderation is not what we’re known for. Americans are athletic or fat. Smart and highly educated, or barely literate. They are refined or total uncultured savages. Super moral or atheist. Feminism, abortion... Show me an issue and I will show you where we took things to the absolute extremes. This is a country of billionaires, and where we have kids go to bed hungry. A middle ground is seldom what our society strives for.

You had the 1964 civil rights amendment and after that you really could not hold people against their will anymore. All you do is ask “do you think you’re going to hurt yourself or others?”

If the answer is “no,” which it almost always is, even if you’re fairly sure they are just saying that because they are (((just sane enough))) to know they’ll be dragged off against their will if they say “yes”, you can’t really do much.

The streets are literally flooded with mentally ill people, and not only is the rest of society put at risk because of them (crime or disease), they are also not getting the care they need.

It was an unfortunate and unforeseen consequence of the 1964 Civil Rights Amendment, or at least how it was interpreted by the DOJ and courts which has put us where we are today.

It does not matter how they got there (the nut jobs). That’s no longer important, we’re past the point where culpability decides if these people should or should not receive care/help or in some cases of it is voluntary. Like a dangerous dog (sorry to compare them to a dog) society has to remove them.

Bottom line is you have people that without external help no longer able to care for themselves, pose a risk to the public (crime, diseases). Leaving them on the streets is NOT the solution.

As always, Trump is right.

I wonder how the MSM will put a negative spin on this?

That’s very lovely, but the founder of this site has specifically asked people not to use it, or any other cuss words. This is a privately-owned family site.

Not all “cuss words” are equal.

Some “cuss words” have become part of everyday language.

PS: the $h.. “cuss word” is even allowed for a PG rated movie. Is material acceptable for 13 year olds excessively offensive?

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/09/how-are-movie-ratings-assigned-film-industry-relies-on-obscure-panel.html#:~:text=If%20especially%20coarse%20words%20are,context%20is%20once%20again%20key.

I’m not trying to be a donkey about this, but certain words are part of everyday language and do not constitute some grave violation in social norms when used, ESPECIALLY if used sparingly and without being pointed at any person or group of people. Maybe you’re a bit sensitive.

Just how far do you want to this this clean and safe space?

But I get it, no “cuss words,” I don’t want to strip some 9 year old Mormon kid on the FR of his innocence.
