Ivanka tweeted her support for the FirstStepAct which would help criminals who are mothers get out of prison.

I visited a woman’s prison many years ago. Scary people. Judges do just about everything they can to NOT send mothers to prison. If they are there, it’s because they deserve it and then some.

It's a ridiculous idea.

I suspect judges already take into consideration children and women with children are probably placed on parole more often than those without.

Ivanka does not belong in a policy role of any kind. Same goes for her husband. Neither one was elected to anything or has any kind of popular mandate.

"I was drunk the day my Mom got out prison

And I went to pick her up in the rain

But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck

She got run over by a dang ole train"

Exactly.

This is one of the reasons we have anti-nepotism laws in the first place.

Depends on the type of person and the crime.

Her maid must have dropped her on her head as an infant.

That one woman in Ecuador who had a miscarriage and has spent ten years in prison for it and is still there.

Exactly. Was she jailed for shoplifting while teaching her children to steal?

So that pretty much means that if you want to be a criminal, become a mother first. And remember, you don’t need a vagina for that now - you can just find yourself a kid and identify as a mother.

As a 60-year old man, I know how fond grandmothers are of grandkids.

Mom the criminal needs to serve time equally as much as a man.

Nobody ELECTED her! Compassionate “conservatism” and pandering has NEVER given conservatives any substantial effect,following, nor support. The GOPers fall for it every time though.

Yes, they should. Just as soon as they’ve done their time just like everyone else.

I have a better idea. Force fathers to do prison time for their felonious wives. If the father is unknown or otherwise unavailable, force the nearest next-of-kin male (father, brother, nephew, etc.) to do the precious mothers prison time.

For the children of course.

Good analogy. I was in court last week and watched the judge rip into a guy who tested positive for meth, and then tried to play the parent card to stay out of jail on a probation violation. The judge pointed out that this guy couldn’t be a good father while addicted and that his kid would be better off without him until he got clean. I don’t think a mother would have fared any better in front of this particular judge.

The left deosn't know whether to shit or wind their pocket watch {they don't even know what a pocket watch is}.

They love the cause they hate the people that are pushing the cause.

Ax me if this isn't the greatest quandary of this century!!!

Trump and clan are pushing prison reform and the left wants it BUT IT IS THE TRUMP CLAN.

What in the hell are they gwan to do?

They fear that black plantation dwellers, i.e. demonRAT voters will like this prison reform and OH NOES, give President Trump some credit.

Trump wrote the 'Art of The Deal' over 30 years ago, and has lived it all of his life, so when he recognizes an opportunity, and sees an opponents weakness, he strikes. And he is coming hard on this one.

Trump was buying a golf course in FL in the 80s {it may have been Doral, I don't remember} and the real estate market was in the dumpster.

Trump offered a pittance for what it sold for just a few years before {these are not exact numbers} $180 million vs $500 million.

The sellers accepted and they were in FL at the course for the close.

Trump {admittedly, trying to impress his young daughter} said to Ivanka, watch me save $20 million, and she said, "Dad, you can't, you already signed the papers".

Trump said," Yeah, but they don't have the money, YET".

Trump held them up for an additional $20 million, by walking out of the meeting and telling them to sue him.

In 1973, Robert Ringer wrote a sales motivation book called, "Winning Through Intimidation" where the greatest line was, "The deal isn't over, until the check clears the bank" {which after I read that book, was the way I lived my life}, and I believe that Donald J Trump, also read that book.

Ya gotta read 'The Art of The Deal' for the details, but it just shows, that nothing has changed with Trump.

16 pound bowling BALLS.

In the U.S. today just exercising your biological body function by having a baby will get you a free ride for the next 18 years via free housing, food stamps, utility subsidies, free medical care, free child care, plus about a hundred other government bennie programs that make the life of an unwed mother, if not luxurious, at least easy and worry free. My wife while teaching would ask her senior students what their plans were after high school. It was not uncommon at all for the reply to be to have a baby and get on benefits like her mother did.

In addition to all that, now simply birthing a child will literally be a get out of jail card. It’s ludicrous, the destruction of the nuclear family has contributed more than anything to the state the country is in now. Constantly rewarding women who have babies out of wedlock is the prime driver, we should NOT reward unmarried mothers with more privileges.
