I try to find some middle ground with the Right when I can, but this is so ****ing dumb. If the suspect had been a rich man who made a higher bail, would that have been an act of Soros destabilization? Sometimes there are bad or crazy people that do bad things. It doesn’t mean that it’s just to keep people in jail simply because they can’t pay their way out.

You’ve got a bowl of skittles.....
Using the “rich [white ~ added for your true intent] man” correlation is just a cop out. Criminality percentages tell a story regardless if you think it’s racist to say so.
Crime has skyrocketed all across the nation and that’s becUse criminals know we are soft.

Wonder if Maher feels any guilt for his role in where we are. People like him and Jon Stewart did a great deaervice to the country.
For someone who so frequently accuses the left of invoking face unnecessarily, you seem to fairly often insert it where it wasn’t needed. This is a class issue, not a racial one. If non-white people are affected at a greater rate, it’s due more in part to other factors.
As for why this argument is silly, some of it is fairly obvious. Rich people are bound to commit less crime, in large part because of three issues.
First, there’s an entire subsection of common crimes that rich people simply won’t partake in unless they’re crazy or a mob boss. Things like petty theft or selling drugs are going to be done predominantly by poor people because those are the people that need money. Even in the case of a major drug operation where some rich people might be involved, there are likely many more poor people involved in the operation.
Second, the system we use allows for rich people to afford the types of attorneys that take the same crime that was committed and turn it into a not guilty verdict or a plea to a lesser offense on their own terms. This simply isn’t the case with poor people, who end up more likely to be branded a criminal for the same offense, which leads to difficulties in finding employment and other services and perpetuates the cycle.
Third, the system is designed to get people to accept a punishment and move on, whether or not they committed a crime. By having a cash bail system that cannot be afforded, people get desperate and accept whatever plea is offered. This is why the reduction or elimination of cash bail is so important. Yes, some people did what they were accused of, but others didn’t and just cannot afford to sit in jail.

It’s good advice, but unfortunately he lost 57 and others at “the left.”
I'm sure Chris Wray is all over it...

And one new dominant strain of the virus that is several times more contagious than what circulated in 2020.

That the "experts" assured us was far less deadly
Keep going to bat for these losers

I think it's the vaccine he's going to bat for. Striker doesn't like anything to question the vaccine. This seems to be very common for those that have received it. I got the first shot, but remain open to criticism of it.

I don't remember it being said it was less deadly. Just that it wasn't any deadlier than Covid Classic (it needs a re-branding).

I remain open to criticism of it. I just haven't seen anything that shows me that the cost benefit analysis for adults is even close. I've been clear that I think it's less clear of a cost benefit analysis for kids as their risk from Covid is so much lower that the risk of rare side effects might actually have relative significance.
Just look at VAERS or any European equivalent.

It's clear that there is nothing to show you that will change your mind. The government is mandating pretty much every human to get this thing, and cases/hospitalizations, etc continue to rise. Now they are mandating boosters bc the shot is so ineffective. They won't release the data on the trials for 6 decades. People are losing their jobs... healthcare workers are being fired, truck drivers are being fired, the money printing machine is going wild to paper over the travesty that has occurred.
You will continue to comply until your dead
