I'm really glad you said this. Today's progressives are using the crime bill against Biden, but it actually made a lot of sense at the time. There is NOTHING wrong with being tough on crime and criminals. It was only after young black men were being locked up in droves, that Dems cried "muh racism".

Another thing joe was right about was the forced desegregation of schools. The "racial jungle" he spoke of was a reality some of us lived through, as a result of city kids being bussed into suburban school districts.

Joe's problem is he is a pedophile, he has dementia and clearly has no integrity...not the crime bill.

Being tough on violent crime makes sense. I will never support what the Feds did from the 70s-90s that skyrocketed the prison population. Some elements had the right idea. However, ultimately it was designed to enslave and divide the American population. Things like mandatory minimum sentences and nonviolent drug offenses should never have been in these bills.

I think it was more to make a burgeoning business out of the prison industry, which is still in effect in a lot of ways.

Money is far more motivating to soulless politicians than ideology.

That’s why these new leftist fanatics are the most dangerous political faction we’ve seen. They don’t care what happens or what they commit in pursuit of their goal.

Recent events have shown yet again that White children are a small price to pay in the struggle for global marxism. They killed dozens of millions before. They'll do it again. This is what happens when you give them an inch.

I used to be a correctional officer in California. Some of the inmates sentenced under three strikes and you’re out deserved what they got. Others did not. There was one inmate in particular I remember who did not deserve a life sentence. He was a young mentally ill black man. He would sit quietly in the corner of his cell all day every day. His crime? His first felony was committing a strong arm robbery as a teenager. Then he got out of prison and got caught with two rocks of cocaine (that’s a personal use amount not a drug dealer amount). He was convicted of felony number 2 for crack rock number 1. He was convicted of felony number 3 for crack rock number 2. Three strikes and you’re out. I don’t recall what county he was from but would not be surprised to learn it was San Francisco and Kamala was the DA.

He actually hit the nail on the head when he said it doesn't matter if their victims of society. If they did the crime they do the time. I'm sure each Christian in jail it's tragic set of events that we could film a lifetime movie with, but bottom line criminals must be punished otherwise it will encourage more criminality.

It's insane how close Democrats and Republicans once we're in many issues.

i agree about being tough on crime and i think a lot of criminals are unfortunately never going to be able to 'play well' in society. a lot of times because of terrible or no upbringing. but just as joe biden said, i don't care. well, i do care, i have sympathy just to the degree that it sucks that a lot of people had abusive or neglectful parents and they may have grown up to be product members of society if they had other parents. but they grew up to become violent psychopaths and they are problems and all we can do is lock them up and away from the rest of us.

however on the other hand, the ones who might be able to be reached, who just made some mistakes and could maybe get back on track, there does need to be a path available for them. i trust trump to be understand and try to do both things. give the ones who can get back on track, an option to do that, and to keep the rest of them behind bars where they belong.

Some conservatives are also using the crime bill against Biden because they want to pander. Joe was right about some things in his past videos.it is a shame that the trump campaign didn’t use another angle to attack Joe Biden.

that's not the point here. we can agree with a lot of what joe is saying. the problem is that modern liberals CANNOT. so we should try to show it to them so they are forced to decide if they still want to vote for this guy. not only was he saying things that should be incompatible with their current party stances, but the other thing is that he is outright lying today, trying to pretend like he never said any of these things. he's trying to pretend like he did the exact opposite of all these things. which also makes him a liar. and his potential voters should be forced to have to deal with that also.

I understand your point. Making biden defending his hypocrisy would be nice.

Trump is doing the right thing. Intelligent people can see that Biden's positions now are simply pandering to the commie left. He is merely a puppet to AOC et. al. Bringing up the crime bill demonstrates his lack of integrity and principles.

You are right about Biden having no principles.your analysis is correct.my concern was with how some conservatives podcasted are framing it.they say,”Biden wrote the crime bill while Trump did criminal justice reform”;this does not make sense for our cause.your analysis is better than what many mainstream conservatives are saying.
