    It’s not “immigrants should stay out because they bring disease”, it’s “we have a pandemic and our immigration centers are packed which makes it more likely that people immigrating catch something that’s already here or that someone brings with them, causing a further strain on already strained medical staff and resources that would lead to further deaths”

    It’s not pretty but it had nothing to do with “immigrants are bringing disease” unless you were watching exclusively conservative media.

    In light of the first one, where is evidence that the people she kept in prison were innocent of all charges and that they were being kept due to her wishes as prosecutor and not the slow nature of our judicial system considering judge appointments were being choked until conservatives held positions to ensure a massive wave of conservative judges filled those roles?
    Where is the evidence that those jailed were exclusively black to support your claim that she hates all black people?

    And where is the evidence that you need a full year and a half of campaigning for someone who has current governing experience as part of the current party and is literally the second in line for president should anything bad happen to the current president? Why is four months too short when it has deprived the main opposition with a ton of financial resources in now-ineffective campaigning against someone no longer running and a short time to pivot to something about the new candidate?

    Any evidence at all or still just your beliefs leading to your assumptions?

      Quickly found this one for the other idiot desperately trying to defend a crooked presidential candidate. I get not wanting the fascist Trump but just defending someone like that without seeing what kind of person she is is just as blind as the trump cultists. But maybe that is just american politics nowadays.

        Jumping to insults because you find it annoying to have to source your claims isn’t a good way to discuss anything with anyone.

        Did you read that article? It states that her opponents said she was at fault, however neither the police who ran the lab nor the levels of associates in between her and the police lab informed her of the problem. When she did get the news, she took time to figure out if it was true and then dismissed 1000 cases that could have been tainted by that action, and took responsibility for not putting a written document in place about how to do something that was legally required and which the crime lab or the associates in between could also be legally required to do.

        It doesn’t point to being a corrupt attorney, it points to a failure in several rungs of responsibility below her which it made clear she wasn’t informed of (she wasn’t cc’d on any email discussing the unreliability of the crime lab worker). She dealt with the problem when it was clear it was the crime lab/prosecution at fault and took overall responsibility for not having a specific memo saying how they prosecutors we’re supposed to uphold their legally binding duty to inform.

        That’s the system fucking up and the person at the top doing damage control and their job. Again, not evidence of corruption unless you only read the title and first paragraph where surprisingly the prosecutors in charge of those cases didn’t get named or shamed, because it was politically expedient to hit the person at the top.
