It can be a deterrent, but that’s not the point. The average IQ of the prison population is around 90. Not far below that is the threshold at which you can actually understand second-order consequences. I would guess that punishment is a deterrent for you because you understand that one of the natural consequences of habitual crime-committing is punishment. A very large segment of our population can’t make that connection in their mind:

Hot take but after reading one story on it I believe there is a word for the relationship McMahon had with that woman: prostitution.

All immigration should stop. I know your love for thicc latinas John, I love them too, but there are zero demonstrable benefits to the US as a whole at this point. As usual, the GOP is progressivism driving the speed limit.

No, I was just stating the general point that your specific assumption stems from.

Pot can trigger psychotic episodes and breaks in people with underlying issues. Same with most drugs.

Remember: you can’t take any talk about “deterrence” by leftists seriously because they are, practically speaking, against any punishment at all. The point of punishment is not deterrence. The point of punishment is to forcibly reform someone in the case of petty crime or forcibly remove someone in the case of major crime for the sake of society at large.

No. But that doesn’t complete the leap to “the death penalty is immoral” like lots of people seem to think.

There should be multiple capital crimes that are punishable by death. If a jury of 12 decides it, it should be carried out without much delay.

You caught my triple poast!

What are you and @DC Tom on about here anyway?

Yeah, that insurrection was nuts. D.C. burning in several places. Crazy stuff. 6-1 on the decision, 5 on the majority opinion.

John Marshall Roberts has made his decision...

As I said before. Incredibly cynical take: governors who ordinarily do nothing good are now suddenly hearing the cries of their constituents and acting on this issue? Why? Brian ***** Kemp stands with Greg Abbott? Give me a break.

Why should we have to compromise with people that hold the position “third worlders are going to replace you and your people and we think it’s funny” Thankfully at least one person seems to agree with me.

Except they make an assload of money being “principled” republicans and hating their former constituents publicly.

Arrest Mayorkas and charge him. Maybe the next one will learn something. Other than that there’s nothing to be done because the DHS can simply ignore all the “deals” that get made like they ignore their mandate now. PS regardless of the above most Republicans are just dudes in red states who desperately want the coastal approval that comes from the D next to their name but can’t because they wouldn’t get elected. So they resent their electorate which results in the kinds of “deals” like we just saw.

She wrote her number down She gave it to me They had to scrape me off the floor In this transient town Waiters and dealers trying to get their foot in the door That night I called her, she said Daddy, daddy, daddy, all my life I've been trying to find my place in the world (I said to her) Baby, baby, babe I got all night To listen to the heart of a girl

Insert Jackson quote here.

You can tell Gail, if she calls That I'm famous now for all these rock and roll songs And even if that's a lie She should've given me a try When we were kids on the field of the first day of school I would've been her fool And I would've sang out your name in those old high school halls You tell that to Gail if she calls

Lots of border measures that the regime will simply ignore, like all of the other ones. Homeland Security has the mandate to secure the border, they don't do it because the Sec is a traitor and the current orders are to stand down. Simple as.

Ok yeah, but:

Nice.
