For two nights in June, we got our first glimpse of 20 Democratic candidates who are vowing to make Donald Trump a one-term president.
There wasn’t much daylight between any of them on the issues. They promised everything from free health care for illegal aliens to "decriminalizing" illegal border crossings altogether. The combination of those two policies alone would upend America. They also promised executive orders that would give handouts to some and impose mandates on others.
Away from the debate stage, there are lavishly-funded Leftist movements that are pushing specific issues around the country. One is dedicated to creating "safe" injection sites where IV drug users are allowed to inject heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine with impunity and in violation of federal law.
Another movement wants to give the right to vote to felons on parole. Bernie Sanders takes that a step further and wants felons to vote while still in prison. The ACLU has made a major push to reduce the U.S. jail and prison population by 50 percent and to “combat racial disparities in the criminal justice system.” They assiduously avoid the issue of whether the people being released from prison are actually guilty. Colorado has decriminalized "magic" mushrooms, and Nancy Pelosi has come to the defense of MS-13. (MORE)

Professional courtesy.
They’re trying to decriminalize crime to keep things balanced. Because meanwhile they’re trying to criminalize non-crime (such as speaking).
Lawless is: lawless does, law was hung on the cross. Don’t need God’s law or man’s law.
Can’t have one w/o the other. Are you on God’s side, listening and doing what He says, like His Son does?
Jails and prisons reduce their voter base turnout.
Pandering is cheap.
Repaving roads is expensive.
Police and prisons are very expensive.
Desperate left is promising everything under the sun to win votes to stay in power.
They’re trying to pave the way into the US for Putin.
Criminals vote for Democrats.
I think you nailed it. They are trying to create demand for more government with more oversight and to create pretext for outlawing private gun ownership.
“When lawmakers promote lawlessness, we have reason to be profoundly concerned. Why is the Left trying to decriminalize crime? It’s not for the sake of compassion. It’s for the sake of Socialism.”
Yes, indeed!
Their new definition of crime is anything that doesn't agree with them needs to be stopped.
It does lay out a good argument how morality can be destroyed without the fear of god.
They don’t do it just because they are enemies of the Constitution and the people, they do it because they are evil.
Empires do this before collapse....

The left promotes amorality and immorality to realize its tyrannical goals.
It therefore relies upon the amoral and immoral for votes, and courts them.
Because criminals are a major rat demographic.
Funny. What are you still doing in LA?
:-). Even more than Lawyers!
Yes.
