it's hard for me to believe that every prisoner deserves to be in prison or every person arrested in jail.


edit: it's also fairly immaterial if they are or aren't deserving of being there. they are in the care of our society and its justice system when they are and deserve fair treatment.

Valid opinion haver to half the country Sarah Palin says BLM protesters are not people, are thugs, should get on a boat back to Africa (okay, that last one was subtext).

i see two sides of approaching Palin and her ilk; she is seeking us to respond so she can get clicks/views/money so we should simply avoid even mentioning her. On the other hand, others DO watch/click/pay to see her due to agreeing with her so it's good to know what she thinks. i tend to go with the latter, which is why I still read the Philadelphia Daily News for sports opinions.

It's distressing anyone listens to her let alone takes her seriously.

Roll Call is reporting Trump is picking Pence. Early reports on VP selections aren't always the most accurate though.

especially for a guy who will eat pancakes for breakfast then by lunch tell you he has never had a pancake in his life.

But that pancakes love him and no one is better to pancakes.

My Mexican cooks make the best pancakes. THE BEST.

Hillary

Next week in Cleveland, Republicans will nominate someone who thinks “Latino outreach” is tweeting out a picture of a taco bowl.

youse guys are creeping me out. I had pancakes this morning and not long after suddenly had an overpowering urge to select a vice president

just went to the Federal Election Commission website - wanted to see if there's documents backing up drumpfco's claims of a gusher of recent contributions.

There are five entries for candidate drumpf. Here's #1

The one with actual contributions info has nothing since May, so I guess I'm still waiting

does this comment apply to non-violent drug offenders as well?

personally, i'd decriminalize more than simply marijuana. general speeding violations, parking issues, drug and alcohol issues all seem to me to not be imprisonable crimes.

agreed except for repeated DUI/DWI

It's not so much that you'd go to jail for speeding as you'd go to jail for not paying speeding tickets.

as trumps vp filed narrows it seems clintons is larger than ever. no guess as to where that might land.

yes, i'd like to stop that. i'd also like to change how police departments function and are funded to ensure this won't be an issue. there are places this is happening.

Trump's options were two lame duck Governors (Pence, Christie) and Newt Gingrich.
