Private Prison Complex receives terrible news.

[The Grand Nudger]

You aren't honestly referring to campaign ad copy as though it made any of the previously mentioned bits go away, are you?  Yes..that's what they say.  That's -why- it's so strange to see so much prison lobby money n their campaign, and to see the very organization connected to that money be among the providers who will get an extension..rather than being among those phased out as per the justice depts recent release.

If they started to -do- what their ad copy promises...it would be a 180 degree turn (as the helpful gentleman from the prison group in the video I linked mentioned...they are truly a bipartisan operation, both sides of the aisle have been good to them, and so have the last three administrations.  I doubt that it's so important to anyone that they would lose votes over it, in this campaign, if they had to alter or minimize the importance of that campaign promise in the course of the general election, or afterward.

If its so fucking meaningless why were Bernie's fans losing their shit over the platform?  Are you suggesting they are stupid?

No more or less silly than the people who get hung up on it for having been stressed in Clinton's campaign as a way to bring them back into the fold.  Perhaps they should have asked why Bernie voted -for- the very laws that formed the basis of the current for profit prison system......that made them a profitable opportunity in the first place...or why he voted -against- the demilitarization of police. We could have strangled all this shit in it;s crib, but he...like all the rest, were too busy nursing that baby when it counted. Now it's bigger than either party or any candidate, too big to fail, in all likelihood.
