So, let me get this straight … you’re advocating for an all or nothing system where some alleged criminals get put back on the street with nothing more than a promise that they will be good and will show up on time for their trial, while others will be held in jail, perhaps for years, until their case is adjudicated in court? And you consider that a more just system than cash bail? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Bail is security. Money or possessions

You know exactly what I mean. Violent criminals and those accused of the most heinous crimes are already denied bail.

No, I don’t know what you mean. Do you mean all or nothing, or have you really not thought about it?

Violence can range anywhere from threatening behavior and verbal assault to rape and murder. Someone has to make the decision … let 'em walk or keep them locked up. What if they decide wrong?

That happens at times but a person is innocent until proven guilty. Bail is granted all the time to those who may go and commit another violent crime.

What you are saying is that anyone accused of a crime should be remanded until they have their day in court.

Today Courts have to make a determination based upon the facts available if the person charged can get bail or be remanded.

The fact that only the US and The Philippines has cash bail should tell you something (but it wont).

Not so.

I’m not saying anything. I’m trying to ascertain what you are saying.

Yeah … Taken out of context it’s priceless. :smirk:

It’s not just Biden with jumbled word salads.

But listening to the rest of her response shows the ingrained dishonesty in trying to make something out of nothing.

Its time for Pelosi to stand aside. The old guard of the Dem Party need to let a younger generation step up and take the party forward.

I am on my early 50s and so tired of seeing the political narrative controlled by people in their 70s and 80s.

She’s becoming Brandy

nope.

thats not the kind of rights that are advocated by liberals such as myself.

Sticking you ass in the face of anybody is frowned upon.
