Ah yes Heritage. Very unbiased source you got there PP.

I guess you also think WaPo is a hotbed of rightwing extremism too, eh?

Go away.

Nope. If crime rates skyrocket and stay unacceptably high, most so-called progressive prosecutors will get the boot.

Correct.

Wealthy bastions like Fairfax are actually pretty insulated from the worst of it.

But whatever. I know you're just a troll, OP

It's all noise that mostly cancels each other out, except that the right supports the policies that allow people like Soros and the Koch brothers to accumulate large, lightly taxed fortunes, so there's that.

Yeah, no. Soros is a modern day robber-baron who literally f***ed over the entire UK and ruined countless lives just to make himself filthy rich:

“ Soros is known as "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" because of his short sale of US$10 billion worth of pounds sterling, which made him a profit of $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis.[17]”

Economist Paul Krugman was Soros for the crook he is early on: “ In 1999, economist Paul Krugman was critical of Soros's effect on financial markets.

[N]obody who has read a business magazine in the last few years can be unaware that these days there really are investors who not only move money in anticipation of a currency crisis, but actually do their best to trigger that crisis for fun and profit. These new actors on the scene do not yet have a standard name; my proposed term is 'Soroi'.”

Soros has also been convicted in Europe of insider trading to profit himself:

However, the case was reopened a few years later, and the French Supreme Court confirmed the conviction on June 14, 2006,[82] although it reduced the penalty to €940,000.[82]

Soros denied any wrongdoing, saying news of the takeover was public knowledge[83] and it was documented that his intent to acquire shares of the company predated his own awareness of the takeover.[82] In December 2006, he appealed to the European Court of Human Rights on various grounds, including that the 14-year delay in bringing the case to trial precluded a fair hearing.[84] On the basis of Article 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights, stating that no person may be punished for an act that was not a criminal offense at the time that it was committed, the court agreed to hear the appeal.[80] In October 2011, the court rejected his appeal in a 4–3 decision, saying that Soros had been aware of the risk of breaking insider trading laws.”

Criminally-obtained funds were used to elect Descano, and he needs to resign or be recalled.

Instead Descano supports no cash bail, as has been passed into law in a few places.

They can ask, a judge isn't going to grant it without reason. And it is unconscionable to hold everyone no bond for every offense. It's impractical, resulting in crowded jails,, and imposes a large burden on people who have simply been arrested and have not been tried or convicted.

If someone ran on a campaign of holding people no bond for everything, that person would be completely and utterly insane and honest someone who wants to abuse.their power.

I don't think the suggestion is that everyone be held without bail, but that the prosecutor should not be releasing everyone and instead should ask for proper bail. Not sure if the prosecutor has a say in bail amount but no cash bail also adds burdens and makes it likely for serious felons to escape justice.

Sorry, but the trend toward progressive prosecutors is unstoppable. The Philly DA is hugely popular and others are thriving.

Yeah, because the police arrest people all the time for no reason at all ( or purely because of racism!)

You seriously challenge the established fact that Soros funded Descano?? You do not even believe the Post ???

I assume recall of a prosecutor would have to be prosecuted by another DA? I imagine both the state AG and other prosecutors would just drop the case, the same way a Soros DA dropped the case in Tholen's recall(after Descano was recused).

Right? I'm wondering if the PP also thinks that Steve Descano is responsible for the rising crime rates in Oklahoma, too.
