Great article. It shows Pratt is an ill-informed douchebag who has no clue what he’s talking about. He already lied right out of the gate when he claimed he lived in a trailer when he was actually living at the Bel-Air Hotel. He’s always been a lazy asshole. I watched him on the Hills and several other reality shows where he behaved the same way across-the-board — an entitled unbalanced grifter.

"Because these are the greatest cities in the world. They’re so rich, they have the best food..."

...says the guy who wants to ban all non-white people from living in America.

My husband and I volunteer every week with a charity that feeds people who are homeless AND their pets. Several times a year we even offer free vaccination clinics for the pets of homeless and low income families. Folks like Pratt and Fuentes are, quite frankly, absolutely full of sh*t. Oftentimes the folks we serve sacrifice what little they have to care for their pets. Their animal companions are valued and cared for to the best of their ability. So those two can just stop with their shameless self-righteous bullshit. Their pathetic ignorance is showing. When it comes to basic human decency they cannot hold a candle to some of the folks we serve.

"So, just to be clear: Nick Fuentes, a rabid white supremacist who really wants to see people get murdered, AND WAS TRUMP'S DINNER GUEST AT MAR-A-LAGO..."

FIFY

That Fuentes kid is one really fucked up Messicun.

Spence! Nick! How about this?

How about we give them homes? How about we tax every billionaire out of existence, use the money and build new housing and convert existing structures? About fifty percent of an unhoused person's problems are eliminated with four walls, a floor, a ceiling, and a door with a sturdy lock.

Then, we can devote our time and attention on dealing with the other fifty percent of the problems facing them much more efficiently, because we'll know who needs what help and where they are.

I think people like Fuentes usually fail to understand that if there is some final solution/purification of society of the kind the worst bigots and racists have dreamed of throughout history, bottom-feeding, vile trolls like Fuentes wouldn’t make the cut. Fuentes thinks poor and homeless people should be either killed or imprisoned. 35 million Americans, or more, about 10-11-%, live at or below the poverty line. Instead of doing something about that, to make that number 1% or less, which is entirely possible, more Republicans than just monsters like Fuentes would prefer to just get them out of sight. This administration is serving the wealthy, the corrupt and the privileged. How anyone earning under 6 figures could vote for a Republican is a puzzle. But misinformation, exploiting the uneducated, uninformed and the ignorant, is a big part of it. When you can’t tap into their anger and hate, you use religion.

Why is so hard to elect qualified, educated, intelligent, honest, dignified leaders who insist on integrity and humanity?

My dream: that a good common progressive, Democratic Socialist government nationalizes all the homes of billionaires after the billionaires have all been stripped of all their wealth and property and deported to, let's say, wherever there's an ebola crisis going on. Let them off the plane and that's it, they have no resources, good-bye good luck.

Then take all their confiscated homes all over the country and turn them into affordable apartments for the homeless. And anyone in those neighborhoods who's not a billionaire and who says NIMBY will have to get over it.

For the most part, the newly housed people, who of course could get drug treatment or whatever other treatment is necessary for them as individuals, once housed and with an opportunity to get a job, become very stable as they were before they lost their homes to a medical crisis or a son of a bitch husband's divorcing them and taking all their money, etc.

And if the NIMBY neighbors decided to sell, the government could condemn their properties, buy them for fire-sale prices, and turn those into housing and clinics for those in need, as well.

A dream like that, and I always get a great night's sleep.

Maybe we should all just drink the kool-aid. Why isnt physician assisted suicide legal? why must we suffer if they are just going to kill us anyway?

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

The suffering's half the fun.

When a 200+ sq. ft. apartments for $2000 a month it's no surprise that a lot of people can't afford to rent an apartment.

On the bright side, Fuentes hopes that Pratt overlooks he's crypto-gay, therefore won't get the murder treatment.

Let’s talk about Bill Maher because Maher is the kind of person who always thinks he’s the smartest one in any room.

So I really would like to ask Maher what skills and experience as a reality TV goofball and crystal salesman does Spencer Pratt bring to the table. Particularly, which skills does someone who’s never held a real job in his entire life have that make you confident that he should be put in charge of America’s second largest city?

It’s easy to talk trash about the homeless. But to actually be responsible for solving the homeless problem is completely different. What makes you think Spencer Pratt is up for it, Bill? Surely, from your lofty perch as a weekly talk show host, you’re able to articulate that, right?

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

I'm beginning to think Bill had some sort of undiagnosed Fetterman episode. I remember watching his show early on where he praised technocrats. He likened himself to a guy painting pictures on the cave wall with no idea of how to run a government and praised those experts who did that very thing, quietly and competently, so he could go on drawing pictures on the cave wall.

Or, as I like to call them, the Deep State.

Spencer Pratt is gonna get curb stomped by Karen Bass, and I am here for it.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

When she's done, since I doubt she'll even be winded, she should go do the same thing to Nick Fuentes.

Wookiee Monster's avatar

That’s assuming he makes it through the jungle primary.

Oh, fuck me in the arse with a mid-sized galaxy, *that's* the wannabe loser who's married to that loser wannabe whore? 🤮🤮🤮

So very glad my brother (AKA the good son, see also the Golden Child) lives in Orange, not LA. Wait, I take that back. Orange is worser. 🤣

As to Fuentes, he's a closeted incel. The dumbest of the dumb. 99% intellectually challenged. He, and his followers, are not even single-cellular life compared to actual humans.

“This isn't Spencer making that up.”

Never trust a man who refers to himself in the third person.

He reminds me of the guy my senior year in high school who won Student Council president by promising to swallow a goldfish live, on stage. He, too, was a prat.

Warren's avatar

Why not run a moose head for Student Council President? My uncle did, and bullwinkle won. Of course, the principal gave the Presidency to the human that got the most votes. No goldfish were harmed.

Back when those stories about the tent cities in San Francisco started coming out, there were multiple reports of people WHO HAD JOBS, making high 5 figures...who couldn't afford to find a place to live.

John_atx's avatar

So, I guess Joe Rogan is suggesting that Spencer Pratt run for mayor here in Austin, if he loses in LA. Oh boy.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

There's a vote of confidence.

Warren's avatar

Pratt will get stuck in traffic on I-35, and never get into the city limits.

John_atx's avatar

That is a distinct possibility
