The fact that this guy is conflating MAGA with this issue just goes to show he has no idea what he’s talking about.

🦆 This fixation on criminals and their humanity and rights is tragic when you realize it overshadows the loss of their victims. In the matter of mandatory therapeutic supervision prior to release I would add one proviso that in the case of recidivism the medical professional who signed off on the prisoner's release is held criminally liable as a co-conspiritor in any future crimes. Please don't misgender the child killer.",, Retaliatory Justice and looking the other way?

Where all think alike, not one thinks very much. Your GOP and GQP Republican parties, ladies and gentlemen. 🧐

[@TowardTreatise]

Wow, maybe the left does have more diversity of thought than I'd presumed... I'm surprised your comment hasn't been taken down for saying "ladies and gentlemen" yet. 😳

Take away government assistance, and we will have poverty, like you never, seen it before.

[@turdferguson3475]

Maybe someday we will encourage people to provide for themselves, instead of living off the hard work of others.

[@mooseantler]

Oh no, they will have to figure out how to feed themselves.

"I work customer service for a National media company. Almost everyone in America has our services. I handle mostly residential moves. This year customers are moving in and out of Florida and Texas at an alarming rate. Those moving OUT are polite, and patient, pleasant, and quite open about why they are fleeing the states. The people moving IN are rude, entitled, very unpleasant, and quite open about their racism and bigotry to a total stranger on the phone. Now I am noticing other Red states have also recently started to follow the same pattern."
