In another major move for the city’s progress on its homelessness issue this year, Austin City Council has loosened its laws around public camping, solicitation and sitting or lying down in some areas of the city, ordinances that critics say target Austin’s homeless population.
When asked about seeing what cities like Seattle experienced — so-called “tent cities” popping up — the mayor said, “I just don’t think we’re going to see that kind of thing happen over an eight-week period of time. If it does, there’s going to be a lot that we’re going to learn and apply, but I just don’t see that kind of thing happening.”

Their game is to disavow responsibility of anything that they do or saw. A great example is the video tapes of the comments by Nadler and others during the Clinton impeachment. They believe that the American people are dumb enough to forget about them or to ignore them. Unfortunately, in many cases, they are correct.

One of the inherent features of the left is the constant competition among factions for who is the most communist commie, Which is really just a power struggle For who gets to decide who goes to the gulags And the firing squad.
