I don’t care if he likes to be peed on or whatever, but seriously try to imagine saying this to someone

she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her ‘pert nipples’,” she testified.

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.

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 current melt is also due to localized factors, like the El Nino event we are going through, making the climate-change-induced ice reduction greatly exacerbated. Ice on the Great Lakes has been declining for 50 years.

Just as no Congressperson should be bringing in snow alls to refute climate change, we should also keep in mind that weather and climate are vastly different things.

Remember to bring this up in a couple years when Republicans are talking about how the ice is back so climate change isn’t real.

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.

In reality, I of course see companies raising the barrier to entry through vertical integration and regulatory capture, among other things.

This article is about this happening less because it isn’t profitable.

This is not what “consumer choice” means in this article, and per the article, the consolidation of retail choice at major retailers carves a spot for smaller businesses to offer the variety you’re looking for.

In a sense, this is a damper on the thing you don’t want - it’s a slight nullification of the “Wal-Mart effect”

The answer is less populism, not more.

Almost none of the arrests have ended up in convictions.

The data does not bear this out
