    Saying the 1994 Crime Bill did not generate mass incarceration is offensive and similar to Trump gaslighting us with falsehoods we know to be untrue. The refusal to even acknowledge the damage caused, means you’re ill equipped to adequately address the ills of our CJ system.

    The crime bill incentivized incarceration. For example The bill granted states $12.5 billion to build prisons if they passed “truth-in-sentencing” laws. There is a direct correlation between the doubling of those incarcerated and the 94 crime bill.

    This is a lie.

    In NH, says of the 1994 crime bill: “This idea that the crime bill generated mass incarceration—it did not generate mass incarceration... The mass incarceration occurred by the states setting mandatory sentences.”

    Worked well for Obama.

    In New Hampshire, Joe Biden predicts that once President Trump is out of office, Republicans will have “an epiphany” and work with Democrats toward consensus.

    No surprise that Michael delivered a humorous, insightful, on point, and totally worth your time, column. As I have been saying for months, progressive candidates with interesting ideas are being shredded, but Joe Biden is getting the free-est of passes.

    Imagine if the candidates for president had been told they had to write a $500K check to the DNC to reserve a debate spot. It would have been a Corrupt NeoLiberal Establishment effort to rig the primary. Instead, that money is being spent of Facebook ads. Is that really better?

    Not sure what kind of sorcery Biden thinks he has, but this is fantasy. PBO thought he could transcend partisanship, and he couldn't. Wonder why Biden thinks he can do what PBO couldn't. (Hint: Biden can't).

    One Democrat still talking about reviving bipartisanship is , who told donors he can get Republicans to "vote their conscience" (per ).
