Joe Biden isn’t just lecturing about crack penalties, that’s the ‘94 crime bill that Joe authored. It required mandatory jail sentences of 5-10 years for just a gram-quarter ounce of crack, whereas cocaine (which rich white people used) had no where near the same penalties for triple the amount.
Kamala Harris is responsible for thousands of super harsh sentences too when she was a DA, as she wanted to make a name for herself / win cases instead of arguing just sentences. Joe and Kamala are responsible for countless lives ruined.
Think of all the families that were ruined where kids grew up without a father because they were in jail for 10 years for minor drug charges. They have some nerve calling conservatives racist, it’s sad so many young people on the left don’t even know about the things their politicians did.
Gotta feed the prison system - cheap slave labor, stock market listed private prisons...
This incisive documentary offers a sobering portrait of statesman Henry Kissinger, quite possibly the most powerful and influential diplomat in U.S. government in the latter half of the 20th century. Based on the book of nearly the same name by journalist and critic Christopher Hitchens (the slender volume goes with the singularized Trial), the movie takes on the form of a legal argument, bringing forward case studies that aim to illuminate Hitchens' claims against Kissinger. Among the significant events in Kissinger's career that the movie tackles are his purported secret diplomacy during the 1968 peace talks to end the Vietnam War, the secret bombing of Cambodia in the early '70s without congressional authorization, and an alleged U.S.-backed plot to overthrow the leftist government of Chilean leader Salvador Allende. The movie features numerous interviews with legal experts, journalists, and high-ranking diplomats, such as Alexander Haig, Walter Isaacson, Roger Morris, and Hitchens himself; predictably, Kissinger did not participate in the making of the picture.
