The 1994 crime bill caused lots of problems, but it's telling that Dem candidates are focusing on a 25 year old bill to attack Biden, rather than the criminal justice record of the Obama/Biden administration. Trump enacted more sweeping criminal justice reform than Obama ever did

Trump signed a thing delayed by GOP for years, funded it at 1/4 the needed level to perform, and rolled back enough other stuff to make the net result questionable vs doing nothing... Arguable it would be better if he just golfed.

God, now I have to actually cc the ACLU lobbyist who worked on making First Step Act stronger because Trump was willing to sign an absolute nothing burger of a bill.

He massively underfunded that bill and simultaneously rolled back an enormous amount of law enforcement reform work that had been done by DOJ.

For the record, the GOP led Congress/Senate expressly stated they were not working with him. No bills were signed because they obstructed since taking over in 2010

Apparently, you’ve decided to ignore my entire response. I’ve explained it. The difference is that the GOP signed off on the bill under Trump they wouldn’t under Obama. And you ignore all the other things Obama did and the protections Trump undermined. That’s why it’s misleading.

Wait, you mean you won't just agree to his narrowly defined argument so he can "win"? Well played.

If I arrive at a fire and attempt to put it out but I’m blocked by a group of people who won’t let me put it out. Then another guy arrives and the group that prevented me from putting out the fire allow him to put it out, how am I the bad guy?
-
This. Only the second guy didn't put out the fire completely, still left embers burning, and then took credit for putting out the fire.

When you make this type of claim absent important context, you leave the impression that Trump is some civil rights, criminal justice champion - when the full record tells a very different story. Do better. This isn’t a game.

I fucking love it when you get owned by dozens of people and then just move on like it never happened

Something has to be done This is something Therefore it has to be done You're talking completely divorced from outcomes beyond "volume of legislation".

Trump is bad, Trace. You can say it. Or are you worried you'll drive off the last remnants of your fan base?

You made a statement without context. A President doesn't pass bills, he signs them when they get to their desk. A Congress passes them, and they are much better when there is bipartisanship. That bipartisanship wasn't there for the last 6 years of his term.

This is like saying Ronald Reagan was a better president on civil rights than Democrats because he signed the law making MLK day a national holiday, even though he didn't want it to be a holiday. When you don't provide the context, you mislead. Journalists should know this.
