So what are the Prog politicians doing for the children of the inner cities who are being killed? Massive tax increases in blue areas while the problems do not get better. All Progs must give up most of their wealth for the common good. You won't. You will charge your neighbor who happen to be a bit more responsible and throw malice at him or her for doing it.
Does that matter? If I say "puppies should be kicked" does that make my position less abhorrent if no puppies were kicked?
I note you ignored all the other points.
but to answer your question, plenty, too many
Kamala Harris laughed about jailing parents over truancy. But it's not funny | Nathan Robinson
Recently resurfaced videos of Harris defending her decision to lock up parents over truancy are disturbingwww.theguardian.com
Doesn't matter? You are saying Kamala Harris is laughing about parents she put in jail for truancy. So, how many parents went to jail for this?
I literally gave you a link, if you think it's funny ripping black kids away from their single mothers, then that's what your ok with, I am not.
Yeah, she didn't put any mothers in jail for truancy. In the meantime Trump tore apart families, possibly forever.
Are you infirm? not ok?

Harris cheerfully recounts the story of sending an attorney from her office to intimidate a homeless single mother whose children were missing school. She smiles as she recalls how she instructed her subordinates to “look really mean” so that the mother would take the threat of jail seriously. In separate footage, Harris mocks those on the left who say things like “build schools, not jails” and “put more money into education, not prisons”, suggesting they are naive sloganeers who do not understand crime prevention.
The Story Behind Kamala Harris' Truancy Program
HuffPost reporter Molly Redden explains how a program trying to reduce school absences produced unintended consequences—both for California families and Harris herself.www.npr.org
In 2019, HuffPost reporter Molly Redden wrote about the families affected by this truancy program, including a Black mother named Cheree Peoples, who was arrested in April of 2013. She came on the show to help explain why this program, which initially launched without much criticism, ended up becoming so controversial, and why it disproportionately affected families of color. Here's the extended cut of our conversation, which has been edited and condensed for clarity.
The Human Costs Of Kamala Harris’ War On Truancy
The Human Costs Of Kamala Harris’ War On Truancy
The "progressive prosecutor" wanted to transform how California responded to students missing school. Parents like Cheree Peoples wound up paying the price.www.huffpost.com
On the morning of April 18, 2013, in the Los Angeles suburb of Buena Park, a throng of photographers positioned themselves on a street curb and watched as two police officers entered a squat townhouse. Minutes later, their cameras began clicking. The officers had re-emerged with a weary-looking woman in pajamas and handcuffs, and the photographers were jostling to capture her every step.
Concession taken.
Are you saying she was literally laughing at someone? She wasn't, she was laughing at a story told to her by a friend about his wife. She was laughing at the story which appeared to be humorous as it was told to Harris. Do I agree with her past truancy policy? No as on the state level some Republican DAs took it too far. Do I think truancy is a problem? Yes. Did truancy rates go down because of this policy? It appeared to. I still don't approve of that policy in most situations however as already noted nobody went to jail over it.
Now, which would I trust with policies not to destroy families. A truancy policy where no one went to jail or separating families forever? Not a difficult question to answer in the least.
So sometimes according to you, it's a laughable event to jail single black mothers if their kids are truant. I disagree.
Never said that, apparently you missed my point as well as add your own flavor to Harris' video about. We don't even know if the woman she is talking about is black.
Just as? As in thousands of kids separated from their parents and thrown in cages and locked away for months with hundreds possibly never seeing their families again. Vs. No jailtime.
It's not "just as abhorrent", it's not even close. What Trump did is something that dictatorships tend to do. Vs. no jailtime.
She laughed about an anecdote told by a friend of hers about his wife telling his kids to go to school, nothing more, nothing less. I don't care for the policy myself as a general rule since many parents have other issues going on. If they just jailed shitty parents I would be fine with that...but, wait. Oh yeah, they didn't jail anyone. In the meantime Trump lost about 500 or so kids.
It's not difficult to make a decision here between the two.
So you think it was appropriate for kamala the sociopath to have had these women to be arrested in the first place?
It was a racist policy. do you support racist policies?
She laughed about it.
I already told you, no, I don't like the policy. I don't think it was racist either though. I'll take Harris as a whole over Trump any day. He tends to lose children while Harris was more bark than bite.
"Just as abhorrent" What a joke.
Who built the cages, Joe?
I'm not sure I'm allowed to answer that. You'll have to check with the OP since it's not about his in-depth knowledge of Harris' history with Kwanza.
But I guess I could ask do you know why the cages were built?
The obama cages?
Fact check: Obama administration approved, built temporary holding enclosures at southern border
A meme about a recent speech is true. The facilities were built during the Obama era -- and were intended to hold migrant children for up to 72 hours.www.usatoday.com
You're posting something no one has disputed, dingbat.
That's great numbnutz, how did this conversation start?
who brought up trump and cages, leaving obama out of it?
you prolly know him pretty well.
I didn't bring up the cages that was one of those wingnuts. The Obama administration built the cages to temporarily hold unaccompanied minors for no more than 72 hours before being transferred over to HHS. Which makes sense.
What the Obama administration didn't do was take children from parents whose only crime was crossing over the border, keeping them for months at a time and then losing the connection between the parents and those kids. That is wicked and you're a piece of shit for deflecting away or defending it. Own it, you voted for it.
Your own source says the same thing.
Expanding healthcare
Promoting affordable childcare
Generally against turning our progressive tax system into a regressive flat tax
Against throwing minorities off the voting rolls
Generally for SCHIP and other welfare programs
Gun control to include background checks for all gun sales
I'm not sure what you mean by "massive tax increases in blue areas while the problems do not get better".
I don't know of any progressive who is asking anyone to "give up most of their wealth". Seems you made up a strawman and are now attempting to beat the shit out of it.
