I don't think Trump will beat him, but I think DeSantis probably will. For various reasons, the people that elected Biden in the first place are slowly abandoning him, according to polls. It looks that way in a snapshot taken today, but after Trump wins his party's nominations and the spotlight settles on him, Americans will be reminded why they voted in record numbers to kick him out of office. DeSantis won't be a factor in next year's general election unless Trump drops dead between now and then, and even this I'm not sure he'd win his party's nomination. |

At this point the workers themselves have little to no incentive to end the strike under any circumstances and minus well milk this dry. They're in this position because those who came before them acted in good faith towards what's best for their union members. Milking it dry would be the polar opposite of that; they'd be pulling the ladder up behind them. |

There seems to be a different in reaction to a child molester or rapist getting beaten up or raped in jail. And that happening to someone that robbed a bank for example. A lot of people don't differentiate. A child molester and someone with a few ounces of pot are both "criminals" and the Tough On Crime crowd doesn't usually dig past that. "Criminals" deserve what they get, so the beatings and rapes have become an acceptable and even expected aspect of "justice". |

He had only been at Staton for about two weeks following a transfer to the Elmore, Alabama, correctional facility, when he was allegedly beaten and sexually assaulted. The warden also allegedly told Bostic that Williams had been hospitalized due to a drug overdose on Oct. 22, she said. The Justice Department sued Alabama over the condition of its prisons in 2020 after a federal investigation revealed that "Alabama violated and is continuing to violate the Constitution because its prisons are riddled with prisoner-on-prisoner and guard-on-prisoner violence." I know "think of the criminals" isn't an easy sale to voters in this country, but something's got to be done about the state of our prisons (particularly in problematic states like Alabama). |
