I agree that prison reform should focus much more on rehabilitation, but completely eliminating prisons raises serious questions about public safety and accountability.
I think you meant to reply to someone at the very bottom of the comment section.
Private prisons should not exist.
America’s prison system is so thoroughly fucked because of its privatization. When someone makes money based off of prison population, it should be understood that they benefit the most through high incarceration rates, long sentences, and a lack of actual rehabilitation which leads to high recidivism rates. Not to mention their profit margin depends on keeping overhead costs as bare minimum as possible leading to awful living conditions. Plus the use of prisoners as legal slave labor on loan for added profit.
Counties like the Netherlands, Norway, and Finland have shown how countries can turn a prison system that started like the US’s, with mass incarceration, long sentences, and control through solitary confinement, into a system that focuses on longer investigations, shorter sentences, and reintegration with society leading to low incarceration and recidivism rates.
That’s a weird way to announce you did crimes.
He was convincted once already. The only reason he’s not in prison now is he later got pardoned.
So talk to me Steve. What exactly are you worried about? Just between us.
Let’s wait and see if they confess to what they did as well.
I suppose they could flee to Argentina: it’s had a tradition of welcoming fascists since 1945, and the place is run by one of their guys at the moment.
Flavio Bolsonaro probably heading back to Argentina as we speak
On Elon Musk’s plane…is Elmo still in the country?
They’ll fit right in with the massive influx of Israelis settling there atm
yes that’s what the person you’re replying to said.
No it’s not? Very clearly different statements
the 1945 wave of fasch refus? those were just the same guys as Israelis.
I think they’d beg to differ
with their reputation for self awareness and honesty in good faith, I’m very open to hearing them out.
Saudi Arabia let Idi Amin live out the last couple of decades of his life in undeserved peace. Not that there’s any kind of link between Saudi Arabia and Republicans …
My cousin married an Italian girl from Argentina. She’s in her 20s so I don’t blame her for nor do I ask where she was in the 1940s (if you aren’t a nazi and your parents are/were, awesome. Way to overcome a tradition of hate. That’s how I feel about my cousin in law. She’s pretty cool) but she gets a lot of shit for it for some reason, living in Miami.
We must NOT do Anything Political! Voters sent a CLEAR Message that they DONT want Anything Fundamentally to Change!
-Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer!
“It’s not our job to be political. It’s our job to fund Israel”
Direct quote?
Probably, I pulled it out of my ass and no one’s seen Senator Turtles for a while
I’ll believe it when I see it
Same. As much as I want to believe this blue wave is gonna result in fuckwits like this going to prison, dems are spineless. They won’t do shit. It’s their SOP
That was the Biden Playbook, and it resulted in the Democrat Party having a lower approval rating than Republicans. They know that if they don’t go after MAGA, we’ll go after them in the 2028 primaries, and nominate every DemSoc we can find.
Besides, here’s the thing: They’ll go after the MAGAs, because that will distract us from Israel, which holds the leashes of every top-level Democrat. We have TWO battles to fight, before we can gain real control, and start doing things like Medicare4All, Free College/Trades, etc.
I mean, Bannon was convicted of both fraud and criminal contempt of Congress for not compying with the Jan 6 Committeec subpoena.
He, in fact, did go to prison. Only for the pedo to pardon him later on.
God I wish the Dems were as cool as Steve Bannon thinks they are
While Dems are debating whether they should punish MAGA, MAGA fully expects it, because they certainly would.
Let’s o-blige them.
Back to prison, in his case.
I want to believe
Anyone remember Mueller and Garland, those incompetent idiots? Get a serious team this time, democrats.
Start with NOT hiring Republicans to investigate Republicans. That alone would be huge improvement.
I’ve voted third party my whole life. I still think we need more parties but I cast a D this year for this reason
We need a different system than first past the post voting to make that happen. I fully support ranked choice voting as one alternative.
We haave ranked choice voting in Alaska. At least for now. I love it.
We should make his prediction come true.
Except Hakeem Jeffries told us all today that we don’t want retribution, we want “to get things done.” I would be surprised if Dem leadership will actually seek legal consequences for anyone involved in Trump’s admin.
don’t threaten me with a good time bannon
Sadly the felon in chief will just pardon everyone in a 500m radius around the oval office.
Congress should create addendum to the Presidential pardon. Complete pardon, unless the president is also a felon.
Might be a good idea to end presidential pardons entirely
tRump can’t do as thing about state charges, only federal.
I also think he’s unable to pardon civil judgements. It’s why Judges threatening DOJ lawyers are threatening civil contempt sanctions instead of criminal.
Depends on who the governor is, really. Any still sucking up to him can pardon on his behalf
There will be fewer of those next year.
State Charges ONLY Please and thank you.
