Crime Left-wing prosecutors hit fierce resistance

lmaooo “fuNdeD bY SoRoz”

Soros going after that DA influence. Next election city planners are in his sight.

 

[Loiosh]

it was a good faith, hand shake rule. We know that is meaningless with republicans. They’ve proven that a million times over.

The rhetoric was shitty but at the end of the day, Republicans did what they could, the same way Democrats would have.

Republicans had the right kind of power at the right time and came out with more judges.

This is utter nonsense. Throughout obamas 2 terms he reached across the aisle every step of the way. From the stimulus to the ACA and got his hand slapped each and every time. Good faith deals are meaningless when one side doesn’t follow along. Remember Graham stood up there and said it will work both ways then walked back the good faith deal.

the politico article said he donated to 7 districts across the country. The way these guys frame the story you’d think he was buying off Supreme Court Justices and entire cities.

Money well spent on public defenders.

While Mitch McConnell reshaped the entire federal judiciary and the Supreme Court for the next generation.

but hey look over here at this other thing that is meaningless

Right. The rhetoric was shitty was they got the judges when they had the power.

That’s not how hand shake deals work and you know it. Stop watering down what happened. The GOP do not govern in good faith.

even now joe Biden wanted republicans on the stimulus package and the infrastructure package. But once again they slapped the hand that reached across the aisle. There is one side constantly arguing in bad faith while the other reaches across the aisle.

I'm not saying they aren't garbage.

I'm saying they play the system better than Democrats.

lmaooo “fuNdeD bY SoRoz”

dude. this is in the OP:

"When Krasner first ran for office, a super PAC mostly funded by liberal billionaire George Soros spent nearly $1.7 million backing him. Some political insiders in Philadelphia said that whether Soros decides to get involved again could have a big impact on the race."

*facepalm*

That’s not the system they’re playing. They’re going against their very own agreements. The ones they created

Yes like I said, the politico article said he donated to 7 districts across the country.

a whopping 7 districts and you guys frame it as “George Soros is Taking over America again.”

nice quotation marks. i don't recall saying such.

 

[nhbbear]

Soros has nothing to do with this story. He raised money for 7 districts across America. Lmaoooo. 7. But please tell us again how it’s the “entire country.” Or equal to Mitch packing the Supreme Court and withholding Obama his picks. Lol.

go away now

You really are an idiot. I never said the whole country-I said “soros has his hand in politics by backing progressive district attorneys” and you reply “only 7” and court packing is when you add judges or justices that didn’t exist before not when one side has the senate majority to prevent a vote or to push a vote through before an election. That is not court packing, that is winning that particular game of having an overwhelming majority of conservative in the Supreme Court

 

[Timmahhhh]

Wrong.

Court packing is ADDING MORE JUSTICE SEATS to the U.S. Supreme Court in order to obtain favorable rulings. Replacing former justices with those that will likely grant favorable rulings is NOT court packing.

Glad I could help.

I was making a joke. Probably should have put the /s tag on it.

 

[Timmahhhh]

court packing is adding more positions in order to gain control when you don’t already have it-like what many dems want to Biden to try to add 3-4 Supreme Court justices that he would pick and then have the majority

I was making a joke probably should have added the /s tag. I think somebody earlier in the thread kept saying that Republicans were court packing because they wouldn't approve Democratic nominations, hence the joke about bork back when they invented the practice.

Copy that. To be fair, I just happened to read an article last night after posting that had the opinion that any altering of the court appointments for political reasons was considered court packing-thus stalling garland from being confirmed in 2016 could be considered court packing according to that definition, but generally speaking, most see court packing as adding justices

You got owned. You should quit while you’re not quite ahead.

 

[DoctorPablo]

GO back and read the article posted in the op.. godamn your an annoying fuck..

And dumb as dirt to boot.

From the article-

“As for the spike in homicides — they are up 29 percent compared with this time in 2020, which was the most violent year in three decades — Krasner blames larger societal forces.

“What has happened, and essentially every criminologist agrees on this, is that the pandemic, closing of society and closing of so many different aspects of what protects and surrounds especially young men have disappeared,” Krasner said in an interview. “So in every single city, you have the elimination of high schoolers being in classrooms at least for periods of time, summer camp, summer job programs, open swimming pools, open recreation centers, organized sports in school, organized sports out of school and after-school programs."”

That seems reasonable to me, and I would not at all be shocked to see that for various reasons in various communities massive closures and restrictions resulted in a rise isn various crimes.

However, he seems to be attributing something like a 25% increase (over whatever the previous year’s increase was) to men aged 13-18? That seems like an awful lot of murder to lay at the feet of high school students, so I would love to see the statistics, which should eventually be available, to back this up by looking at the ages of those charged with these crimes.

Also, those high schools must be disasters.
