I'll give you that, but Melania isn't on the ballot.
Right, but if you blast Kamala for it but excuse Donald, isn't that a bit of a double standard? 

(I'll admit it's a VERY common double standard in our society, but that still doesn't make it right.)

I mean, now we have another charge. Someone has told use the former president participated in "literal" prostitution.

Oh God, and he took her across state lines multiple times. That means he's a literal human trafficker to boot!

The bigger point is that if that's the only thing you can come up with, that means you have already lost your argument.

I like double standards that are to my advantage.

Even triples.

How many 60-something broke guys have 20-something girlfriends?

I'm not broke but I don't have enough $$$ for a 20-something girlfriend

True.
Yet this obsession with Hunter Biden is okay.

Double standard.  Again.  Over and over and over.

There would be no Department of Education.
Well, we wouldn't be giving tax dollars to private school students, that's for damn sure.

Grade level advancement would be earned by learning, not by calendar.  
All students would receive a free, quality lunch (nachos not an entree, not everything out of a big tin can, etc).
Teachers would be paid very well, which would attract better prospective teachers.
Multiple choice questions would be banned.
Funding for each school would be made at the county level, not at the neighborhood level.
We wouldn't have monies so separated (now there's often plenty of money over here, but none over there).
Poor teachers either improve or are let go (this is how it is wherever I've been, but sorry, no, tenure shouldn't be a thing).
First-year teachers are given curriculum and teacher editions to help them along, but once they've shown to be a quality educator, they're free to branch out and do more/better than that.
.
*If you improve the schools people opt out of today, there's no reason for them to need a voucher for someplace else (by and large).

10 percent for the "big guy" is not OK.

If this was Hunter Trump, he'd be in prison.

I don't make much out of "10% for the Big Guy".  I would suspect Hunter was negotiating for a better deal and that was a tactic.  I honestly do not think Joe personally benefitted from any of this.  His family did.

Since this place does sometimes chat about policy, does anyone have a good idea for dealing with homelessness?

The most common plan seems to be too make what they’re doing untenable, at least until they move somewhere else, often with the government taking their property while it happens.

Or is the outcome that simply if you don’t have a place to rest your head, you don’t have the right to be at peace at all when it comes to the government.

I do not, nor do "experts", and I've talked with several of them.  Once the police were unable to detain homeless who are clearly crazy, the game was over.

Then there are folks who prefer being homeless to being in "The System", they may be only mildly crazy or drug addicted, or perfectly sane, they are "hobos".

Then there are drug addicted who have no clue about much of anything.

I was surprised at seeing a large homeless tent community in Vancouver, BC, rivaling what one sees in Seattle.
