The last year was a good one in my country. It did bring on prison sentences for not one, but two conservative shitheads lining their pockets in office.

So I kind of starting to have some trust in our justice system again.

The 'murrican judicial system can never redeem itself until Bush, Cheney, and all those Wall Street Scumbags are jailed.

And buttfucked nightly.

I'm getting mixed signals there . . .

Most of them wouldn't even be able to afford bail so they could be out of jail awaiting for their trial, let alone their appeal.

Long punishments aren't a deterrent for drugs. It's time they legalize and regulate them. Much like we do with cigarettes.

The best way to do that is for the juries to simply stop convicting people.

Maybe eight years of Bernie Sanders will help clean the system out. It will take more, but it's a start.

The point is these cases do not get to juries most of the time.
