butlers Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Yes of course. That's what so ironic about Republican attacks of him being soft on crime. That all said, Biden viewing it from now admits he got it wrong. We also have to remember at the time america was going thru a massive rise in crime and the already high murder rate had gone right thru the roof. What's the saying " prison makes bad people worse". A truism.butbtheres plenty of bad people deserve thier time behind bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look online and see who was disproportionately affected by this law . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 The poor as always. Blacks being disproportionate in that category. A lot if this is how the well to do in the US can wall themselves from " society". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to say that's the best deflection I've seen on this or any other forum in the last 5 years. Seriously it was that good 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 See thing is the Republican Party have form for the southern strategy , explicitly racist ,which the party belatedly apologized for. The Republican Party now is overwhelming white and it's not unknown to hear words like " savages" to come from Republican politicians when there's riots/ civil unrest. The former President habitually refered to black averseries as " low intelligence" and has several times spoken of his good genes ( white European) .it's ugly stuff. Rather like there's BLM and black lives matter ,there's Racism and racism . I can think of several Biden comments that are clumsy but not that offensive whereas the previous guy in comparison has much more troubling stuff .

crookesey Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 It’s ever been the same with respect to world leaders, if they haven’t done it their critics will say that they have, if they have done it the same critics will say that they haven’t. What I will say is that Joe Biden at age 78 has a very fair chance of dying in office, I’m 74 in a few days time and would like to think that I may reach the age of 78, I reckon that he has some guts to take on the presidency.
