Found this anonymous post on another forum, this sums it up best:

 

"It a shame and a mystery why so many people prefer high inflation, high gas prices, high crime, low GDP, a crumbling housing market, a crumbling stock market, a flood of illegal aliens stealing their tax money, an increased threat of nuclear war, censorship, a dumbing down of the education system and indoctrination of their children to perverse ideologies. If voters used logic and knowledge exclusively, the House would be 435-0."

 

Apparently there are a lot more American hating,  communist thirsty dummies than we imagined indeed.

Then again the dummy war cry is NO TRUMP THOUGH. Sums up the mentality perfectly.

I’m very surprised to hear this.  He, in my opinion, is the Dems best offering at this point.  Don’t get me wrong I don’t like the guy I’m just making an observation.

This kind of stuff is insane. A school is not the place to be made better if you are really mentally ill. They do not have the resources to assist someone in getting well and help them get though the material at a difficult school.

You'll never guess how El Salvador slashed crime rates by 75%

HANS BADER FROM LIBERTY UNYIELDING 7:20 PM on December 09, 2022

 

The murder rate has fallen by two thirds since 2018, and crime has fallen by 75%, in El Salvador as it has imprisoned large numbers of criminals. The country has put nearly 2% of its adult population in prison. This is due to the anti-crime policies of its current president, Nayib Bukele. …

 

Harsher penalties discourage crime. Crime in California fell significantly after California voters adopted Proposition 8, which mandated longer sentences for repeat offenders who kill, rape, and rob others. A study found those longer sentences deterred many crimes from being committed. Similarly, a 2008 Santa Clara University study found that longer sentences for three-time offenders led to “significantly faster rates of decline in robbery, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft.”

 

In addition to deterring crimes by people outside of prison, longer sentences also keep dangerous people locked up so they can’t harm law-abiding people. Killings have increased in Baltimore, where most killings are committed by people who previously were convicted of a serious crime, but who are no longer in jail due to their past lenient sentence.

What is hard to discuss with some people is the recognition that about 1-2% of our population is always willing to do bad things if it makes their life easier. There are very few truly sociopathic people but people who are so lazy that they are willing to be bad is in that 1-2%

Do you guys just need to B word about everything?  How about some perspective. 

 

By the end of 2021, a total of 108 countries had abolished the use of the death penalty, more than two thirds of the world; nevertheless, 55 countries still have the death penalty in their penal toolbox. Most notable are the USA, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Somalia, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

It's not like those inmates got released.  They are doing life.
