President Trump Says He May Take Action On Homeless Problem In LA, San Francisco
cbs2la ^ | 07/02/2019

Homelessness has made encampments a familiar sight across Southern California, and with people living on the streets come problems like sidewalks being used as bathrooms, rat infestations and diseases. In an interview with Fox News from Osaka, Japan, the president agreed the “filth” in American cities was “very sad.”

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti responded to Trump’s remarks Tuesday during an appearance on KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO, where he said he was actually encouraged by the president’s attention to the issue.

“Any day the president is talking about homelessness is a good day,” Garcetti said. “The only thing I would correct him on … is that he said this started two years ago. … It’s been something that’s been decades in the making, and I welcome federal help. To me this is going to require all hands. I think people are so sick of the political games. So if he (Trump) wants to roll up our sleeves and meet us, I’m ready.”

Pressed on whether he was inviting the president to walk the streets of Los Angeles, Garcetti said, “Absolutely. I would be more than happy to do that.”

That is POS Newsom’s job to clean up his state’s mess.

Well, if Willie Brown’s squeeze claims she can do mighty works on her own if elected president, then surely the President has the power to clean up the sewerage clogging up the streets in Los Angeles.

Indeed. Although a million is hardly a dent.

A local problem, not a federal problem. Let LA and SF stew in their own juices.

Where Trump should act: the Portland Oregon Antifa. Use Federal laws put in place to stop the KKK. Same MO: masked thugs attacking citizens who are exercising their civil rights, local government sympathetic to the thugs and failing to protect peaceable citizens.

I’d get one but I am hoping to have a trailer load of Willys jeep sheet metal to go to powder coating.

Higher priority to me.

I hope to connect with dad on a Sunday soon.I might have a line on an intact 304 for my slow go fixer upper CJ7.

This clip I sent to stock footage sold a few times. Ironically in Africa when Shutterstock provided stats.

Does it really matter what the president does?

Whatever he comes up with will be shot down by a federal judge before the day is over.

The courts have effectively nullified the 2016 presidential election.

Going with that instead of the straight 6? Or is the 304 a straight 6? I really don’t know AMC motors as well as the big 3 stuff.

I was planning on a reman crate 6.

However, if that 304 is viable and the cost is sweat equity is the price. I can dral. According to the books it will bolt up.

This is who the local homeless in L.A. are:

Mentally ill, drug addicted, or both

40% Locals, 60% from other states, mostly white, some black, rarely ever Hispanic.

90% male.

They turn down the cops’ offers to take them to the shelters. Shelters don’t allow alcohol, drugs, or sex, and they have curfews.

The cA laws no longer allow the cops to do anything else.

The only way California will be ‘fixed’ is federal troops taking the Statehouse, arresting their legislators and governor, installing an interim military government, putting checkpoints on the roads in/out, require passport control, and forcibly expel their illegal population. Anything less is just whack-a-mole.

Why take this on? Make CA do it. Trump should sue the State of CA to make them do it.
