Back to the landowner class, eh?

Still have to come up with a way to get the renters off next.

Rent increases moving along nicely.

And now that homelessness is illegal, the ~~prison~~ slave labor force will be growing

“The pursuit of happiness…” if you’re a property owning white male. Going back to our roots, unfortunately.

Honestly Republicans are among the lowest income families and most of them rent, requiring land ownership could very well cost Trump the presidency.

And exactly no legal case will be made in relation to this, because you can only make a case if you have standing, and what homeless person has the time or money to do that?

Yes, time, because it takes time to appear in court and work with attorneys, and when you're homeless, you kind of need to spend that time just getting by.

The right violates the constitution all the time without consequences. Rule of law really is an illusion at this point.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Always has been an illusion.

More just selective enforcement

Yet again they are targeting the vulnerable of society, and trying to disenfranchise them. But if course, the cruelty is the point.

Golly, that sounds unconstitutional as fuck...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The sad part is it's probably not. We started off only letting land owners vote, I have a feeling were like one self serving interpretation of the law away from going back.

It is abso-fucking-lutely unconstitutional as hell, but a corrupt supreme court may well make it legal like Palpatine. Your fear is not unfounded.

I bet I can guess the skin color of the average homeless person's skin color in Georgia.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Since when did skin colours have skin colours?

Just make everyone in the US get a national ID number.

And I don't mean social security number, but a real ID number with checksums and protections built in.

I guess the rights of Americans are just suggestions. fucking assholes.
