    Funny that any bi-partisan bill that can get through the Senate anymore is an "historic vote"... Note that it still has to pass the House and get signed.... Nothing is a lock in Washington anymore...

    Our marching orders were to leave the public crowings to the conservative right. Enjoy!!

    And it was less than 14 hours from your URL to your OP, but who's counting?

    I don't expect any NDP member to act in any different manner than they do.

    Kushner's Father spent time in prison. Kushner was very candid about that experience, but I understand you need to make more of that than anyone else has, including Kushner himself.

    Limited one trick pony...…

    You guys are priceless.

    Criminal Justice Reform has been in the works for 5 years.

    It just tweaks the soul of Progressives to give any credit to the enemy.

    LOL

    If McConnell (and others) hadn't held up something like this up during the Obama years, something would likely have passed then.

    You get credit when you earn credit... I already gave Kushner some, despite his likely primary motivations, and I give Trump a small piece as well for leaning on Mitchy the Kid, something that should not have been needed.

    Too bad one medium victory is swamped (intentional) by the continuing odor coming from the White House.

    Interesting idea, but the statistics do not support your claim. Since the 1990, Burglary, Larceny, Robbery, and Vehicle theft have been declining in California. The same trend is seen if you look at 2000 and 2010. Overall, the data does not support your claim and all increase in any of those statistics from one year to the next was followed by multiple years of decreasing. Here is are some statistics that show the rate and absolute values:

    Yep, just tweaks the soul, not to mention providing some reason why none of the clan created a thread on the subject.

    So basically, the thread's purpose is to bash liberals and the left for not starting a thread about the bill first?

    Gottit.

    The national numbers match other sites. Show other numbers that prove your point.

    Show evidence that burglary has increased in CA. You don't have to address the blog. You implied that CA has seen an increase in burglary. Show any statistics to support this. I won't hold my breath because you have no proof of this; it is merely what you think is happening.
