Aggressive prosecution is the precisely how you don’t let it happen again.
This has literally never been true about any crime
Are you for real.
Yes, Republicans notably used those riots to demand harsher penalties. You don’t remember the mythical burning cities?
This is “gold fringe on the American flag” level of nonsense
The irony is, the Trumpers want to be able to deploy this style of harsh and unjust justice at will.
So do people here arguing for harsh sentences because they don’t like them.
Mob Justice isn’t justice regardless of who the mob is
No, I don’t think it’s a good thing that traitors got less than they deserved
The vast majority of people on J6 were idiots in a mob situation, not traitors.
As OP said, fuck all of them, but aggressive prosecution here is not the way you want the law to work, the same way there’s no gain for imprisoning everyone who acted out of pocket during the Floyd protests.
You throw the book at the worst offenders, and you let people caught up in mob mentality off with a lesser sentence. That is justice working.
It’s because the vast majority of offenders are first time offenders, and are unlikely to repeat their actions.
This is a good thing, and should happen a lot. Our criminal justice system is fucked up.
I absolutely love that someone put in this kind of effort for this. This speaks to me.
Thank you for sharing.
Kind of crazy the funding issues (I don’t want to call them problems because, honestly this is great news) are so widespread between states.
Really weird situation I hope gets investigated more. I would read an entire book on this.
You’d really benefit from reading this article.
Mr. Biden is articulating a simple, strong contrast: Republicans believe that collecting less money in taxes will catalyze economic growth; Bidenomics “is rooted in what’s always worked best for the country: investing in America and investing in Americans,” as the president put it in a November speech in Northfield, Minn.
It is an overdue end to an era in which the difference between the parties could be summarized as a debate about how large tax cuts should be.
Someone in this thread will inevitably talk about voting for Biden “even if he sucks” while he’s doing exactly the things they want.
The FBI literally prosecuted him and won a conviction, after which he was pardoned.
He is a leftist, criticising liberal* identity reductionism and its inability to recall that class is part of the intersectional framework it has co-opted and abused beyond all meaning.
Thanks for saving me the click on an article not worth reading.
In Arizona and Michigan, two states where the GOP presidential candidate will likely have to win a majority of suburban voters to get back in the White House, the state Republican parties are running critically short on money. In Arizona, the state GOP has just $14,800 left in the bank at the end of August, as reported by the Arizona Mirror.
$14,800 is an insanely low amount of money.
You can’t win a contested small-time county election with $15k.
No Presidential election since 2012 has been decided by who pays more, so there’s some good news.
Weird because I don’t
The silent majority very specifically is unengaged, and that’s where swing voters come from.
It is a well-known (in political circles) electoral truth that all the money spent, all the speeches, and all the commercials, exist only to persuade about 7-8% of people that are otherwise totally disengaged and have no prior opinions.
This is how elections are won right now, for better or for worse.
Weird because words still have meanings even if this person disagrees.
Ah well then definitely no.
Dude there is a universe worth of difference between eating at a restaurant and being asked to tip like, a good truck or some shit.
Baristas post on their social media about giving non-tippers decaf all the time.
I’m completely unaware of this, and this is stupid.
You tip people who live on tips for a living, and in places of high, but not elite, quality.
This is all geopolitical consideration, which is valuable, but generally not impactful in a campaign.
I could definitely see Trump supporters doing shit like this. I find it unlikely anyone at the Capitol, who has also been prosecuted, and given a light sentence, doing it again.
