Karoline Leavitt

The most serious condition that sufferers of TDS adversely experience is their needy compulsion to articulate unending vituperation towards every aspect relating to Pres Donald J Trump and his administration. The negative view of Karoline Leavitt as Trump's press secretary is just an example. However, I would suggest that an indifferent observer (i.e. one who does not hate Trump willy nilly nor is enamored with him either for that matter) would have no cause to decry to date Leavitt's performance in this job.

And when the right-wingers called both of Biden's press secretaries every nasty name in the book, that was based on a clear-eyed assessment of hard facts, right? :rolleyes:
 
Off topic, I watched a segment on newsmax that squatters are moving in on burned out properties and the cops can’t do anything to stop it. Is that true?

Yes. It's not classified as a crime, it's a civil matter involving eviction/unlawful retainer and adverse possession.
 
Why wouldn’t that be on the same level as looting?

No, they're squatting on the property and taking civil possession of it.

Some of those laws are ancient. In some states if you can stay there long enough you can take legal title to the property.

There's more to it than that. The squatters have to exclude everyone for a set # of years, they have to pay the property taxes during that period and be the exclusive payer of those taxes, and they have to remain on the property during their adverse possession of it.

A court can order them removed if the owner sues and wins. At that point the cops can get involved.

The funny thing is that if the property owner gifts the land to the city/county/state, the squatter get removed immediately for trespassing. This doesn't happen if a private citizen owns the property.
 
There's a whole subgenre on Tik Tok of "squatter removal services", companies that use probably not quite legal means to evict squatters from properties.

The biggest "victory" I've seen was an undeveloped 2 acre fenced lot on the outskirts of Los Angeles. A squatter moved his mobile home there and somehow tapped into the power grid. He declared himself "mayor" and invited every lowlife with a trailer or RV to move in, he'd charge them a "lot fee" and offered "free electricity". Place was packed.

The lot itself was owned by some little old lady whose late husband bought it as an investment and never developed it.

It was like a military operation evicting these squatters....squatters genuinely thought they had a "right" to live there.

I didn't say there weren't conditions, but the owner does have to initiate some action.

Yes, a quiet title action in cases of adverse possession and eviction in cases of squatting. The QT can cost 10-12K and the eviction is around 5k-7500. And that's if you can convince the leftist judge that the "rich white property owner" deserves to have his property rights protected by the law instead of adhering to the false mantle of social justice.
