This new EO will basically override the disastrous laws from the 1960s that led to the closure of mental institutions and will finally allow states to “involuntarily” reinstitutionalize individuals who are clearly a danger to themselves or others.

“This EO lays out a real plan to reinstitutionalize the mentally ill, stop open-air drug abuse, and cut off federal funds to cities that refuse to get their act together (Hey, California, we’re looking at you).”

The left will fight tooth and nail to keep the mentally ill ON the streets of America - a danger to themselves and the public - claiming it is their “right” not to be institutionalized.

This one move could make American lives much more pleasant, increase public safety, decrease crime, and improve the lives of the mentally ill.

The subject was brought up on Gutfeld. 55k seriously ill and 37k beds available in mental institutions. Doable. Start with the vets.

The first people they should institutionalize are the ones who thought it would be a good idea to just release all the crazy people onto the streets.

Fettgub has no business in either promoting or discouraging homelessness outside of the District of Columbia.

This is a good thing. There are several of these people wandering around the small town we live by. One guy carries a large pole and yells to himself, sometimes while walking down the middle of the street. My wife is hesitant to go into town to pick up groceries or medications by herself.

They make no sense. They screamed when Reagan closed all the mental hospitals and now screaming again when Trump wants to fix the screw up.

Its about freaking time. I’d much rather see our tax dollars going to something like this instead of illegals.
