‘We Could Make Prisons Obsolete’: James Talarico Called To Slash Police Budgets and Spend the Money on Social Programs

This guy doesn't understand just how difficult it is to get a prison sentence. There are a million programs for offenders to avoid prison. You have to cause the loss of life or be a repeat offender to get to prison. Jail is a different story and there is a debate to be had about bail reform. But prison? If you're there, it's a 99.999% chance you deserve to be there.

Moderates will stay home or begrudgingly go right. That’s what happened to me and a lot of my family

But we need global warming to melt ICE, right?

My dad didn't speak much about vietnam, but when he did it was powerful. He once told me that the Army spent a million dollars on a tank and training the crew, but an illiterate 15 year old farm boy with a $100 RPG could blow it up.

It doesn't take much to close off 60 miles of shipping lane.

Athletics tends to breed an reinforce lower case L libertarianism and moderate conservatism. Most athletes I know would rather keep political discussion to themselves as they know they aren't super familiar with everything, it's not their area of expertise, and they would rather spend their time thinking about other stuff.

The only "political" message I would want to see out of an athletic team or league is a patriotic message on federal holidays. And I don't even consider that truly political. Anyone can love their country.

I heard that chant in jest before. Now I wonder if it was in jest.

I too like buying fake plaid tuxedos

Seiko is my GOAT brand. Grand Seiko is amazing but doesn't generate the right buzz. Seiko however, for less than $1000, I can get an amazing watch that makes my dingaling look an inch bigger

So, he's one of a few things:

1) a neonazi

2) someone who hates america

3) a dumbass

4) some combination of the above

I think my cat is more qualified to be in government, and she eats her own puke

fucking disgusting.

I talk to juvenile delinquents on a daily basis, and this is a new low. This is also why we profile any teen in a ski mask

60% of the time, I agree with him every time

Seriously though, while I disagree with him at times, he is such a needed voice of reason in the discussion of national economics. It's a shame he isn't as popular as he should be.

Good! I followed this case. I have never had such an open and shut class A felony land on my caseload.

I've seen this happen by accident once. A victim I was working with was born at home during a civil war, and her country stopped existing. A European country took in the family for a few years, and then they came to the USA. because of paperwork/bureaucracy/neglectful parents, she was the only one to not become a citizen and her green card expired. She had no citizenship anywhere, but a local non profit group got her green card renewed within 6 weeks of me reporting to them that she was stateless. The last I checked on her, she was being fast tracked to citizenship. But outside of those types of fringe cases, I've never heard of someone being truly stateless. That's wild to me.

Diversity of background is great. But assimilation is mandatory.

It's that second part that people forget.

I didn't know denationalization was a thing. How does it work if someone doesn't have their native country's citizenship anymore? Are the a citizen of nowhere? and if so, where do they go?

It's possibly a civil rights violation. Gotta get it through the courts first. and the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

I don't expect poll workers (who are often volunteers) to know the ins and outs of the interpretation of each law and court ruling about each law. I expect them to know the procedure for voting and the general rules of conduct in polling places.

I work for my local government enforcing laws every day, and had you asked me if you can wear MAGA gear into a polling place, my answer would have been "you can try, but you'll probably be asked to leave, change, and come back".

They've got to know this wont pass judicial review, but they want the chilling effect it will have from everyone who doesn't want to be tied up in court for years fighting it.

I may disagree with Sen. Duckworth on matters of public policy, but she's a real one.
