im not finding trump.

but when people
like you go out there and spew your woke, progressive lunacy…that does fund the gop. because it incentivizes people to get behind conservatives

you’re a huge gift to the right.

now that the trump distraction is out of the picture ( everywhere except in your mind), people can focus their attention on what liberals are saying and doing. Sadly for you, people
are increasingly finding it weird and scary.

Close all federal prisons in ten years? let every single federal convict out within ten years?

saying that at the same exact time as the mass murder in WI? at the hands of a guy who should have been locked up a long time ago?

your party is imploding in front of america’s eyes. almost every impulse and instinct they have, drives people away.

Sure Jim
Americans kill more Americans than foreigners kill Americans so we should probably play it safe and not let any more Americans into America.

yes pete, i specifically said that it’s a good thing that americans kill each other.

more death!

according to your side, no cash bail,,defunding police, and closing federal prisons, are ideas that will result in fewer americans killing each other?

stick with that platform, especially right now, in a swing state like WI. that platform will be very popular in WI today.

so stupid.

Cash bail is one of the bigger drivers of recividism, Sam gets arrested for a petty theft committed because he’s broke or nearly so. Can’t post bail, loses his job.
When he gets out he’s broke, homeless and jobless.
Wonder what his choices are?

Police get called for a welfare check, autistic person they are checking on freaks, untrained cops freak, someone ends up dead.
Defunding was an unfortunate choice of words, changing the role of police is supported by police.

For profit prisons have zero incentive to reduce recidivism, who’s going to reduce their customer base. We imprison far more people than other developed countries, is that because Americans are more likely to commit crimes?

But be very afraid, because someone has found an extreme example and presented it as the norm.

i don’t disagree that there’s a downside to cash bail, and that the downside effects poor people.

but there are other scenarios in addition to poor Sam there.

this guy in Wisconsin didn’t get $1,000 bail for petty theft. First, he ran over a woman with his truck. Second, he had an active warrant for him in Nevada for skipping bail
there in a sex crime.

that’s what angers americans. obviously setting bail isn’t an exact science, and obviously no one has a crystal ball.

but you’d have to be an idiot to give $1,000 bail
to this guy, in that situation. the optics could not be worse for democrats. the milwaukee states attorney is an avowed progressive, who is on record saying that people
he lets go will at some point kill someone else, but that doesn’t devalue the idea of leniency. boy oh boy was he right about that.

naturally you posted one scenario about a non violent guy. just stealing diapers and baby formula. Sam probably left an apology note too.

that scenario needs to be discussed pete, but so does the other extreme.

this is just the latest in a string of complete disasters for this ad
inistration, one after the other after the other after the other. a never ending conga line of embarrassment.

biden saying the rittenhouse jury spoke and that’s that. than an hour later he switches gears and says he’s angry. a president can’t do that. he is oo weak to not to it.

Organized retail crime is real and it isn’t petty theft, but keep eating up what they feed you.

his mindset is a huge gift.

In the same moment that the nation is watching with horror what happened in Wisconsin, and realizing how horribly the criminal
justice system in america failed to protect seniors and children from this animal. IN THAT SAME MOMENT, you have AOC calling for further reductions to bail, and you have Rashida Talib saying federal prisons should all be closed in ten years and every inmate released.

that’s taking stupid and incompetence to evangelical heights.

That’s a huge gift to the gop.
