Apparently early voting nearly substitutes for drop-off caused by poll distance so it’s not that bad

probably slow pony but piece of shit pardons other pieces of shit, news at 11

one of those (don’t think it’s in this article that I haven’t read) was a dude who served only one year for banging a 9 yr old

any pardons for black dudes who smoked weed once? hell no.

It also says due to Rand Paul but yes I didn’t read that article and yes, I assume 99% of them are shit pardons, I think that’s reasonably safe. Definitely wasn’t Bevin’s idea he just went whatever dude I dgaf on that one.

Brummy greasy spoon imo

The pardon power is completely moronic thing number 1,256,897 of the US political and judicial system. It’s indefensibly stupid.

Lobbied for by Alexander Hamilton, the reason being that the power to grant pardons can be used in negotiations to quell rebellions and the first pardons were issued to farmers in the Whiskey Rebellion. But, yeah, I don’t flip out about pardoned criminals, but for the most part this is a power the executive shouldn’t really have, I think.

mmmmm, I got nothing to back this up but I kinda think pardons have been a +EV feature of the government over the course of US history.

Does anyone know any research on racial bias of pardons? I have no idea what the ratio of % of total pardoned : % of total convicted for white males is but have to think it’s some insane number,

Yes, my former governor was a corrupt disgusting piece of shit. Just glad to call him former.

Holy shit.

The new law in Ft. Lauderdale comes after the city announced in January that people are restricted from camping, panhandling, food sharing and engaging in other “life sustaining activities.”

Gotta stop those life sustaining activities.

Didn’t realize there was a prayer before the army navy game but I guess that makes sense in USA#1

think it’s pretty much who the fuck else would join the military?

Poor people with limited prospects?

yes, that’s fair
