House Democrats aren't planning on coming back to Washington D.C. until May, but they're still scheming from afar about how to recklessly spend your money during the Wuhan coronavirus crisis.

Republican Congressman Jim Jordan is warning his leftist colleagues want to use taxpayer money to pay states to let criminals out of prison, including felons.

"Use of Grant Funds --- A grantee shall use amounts provided as a grant under this section for programs that provide for the following: "(1) Adopting and operating a cite-and-release process for individuals who are suspected of committing misdemeanor and felony offenses and who do not pose a risk of serious, imminent injury to a reasonably identifiable person," the legislation states.

It is apparent these Democrats aka Demoncrats are out to destroy our Republic and replace it with the Democratic/UN controlled world government.

Saw an article on here yesterday about a grocer who said most of his employees had quit because they could make more sitting home than he could pay them. That is EXACTLY what nanzi and her pals in CONgress want. Then they can control all of your activities and what you do. If they can give it, they sure as hell can take it too.

Do really hardcore criminals care about disease safety? Somehow murders are still happening in Chicago, and I am curious if homeless people are getting wrecked by this disease as well.

Yeah, well throwing bailout money worries me that we could eventually get serious deflation, or inflation of currency, and either potentially screws us over when the money you have doesn’t have the purchasing power that it used to.

So if the convicted felons are out of prison and now do a home invasion or carjacking and steal our money, we should tell them “Hey, I gave at the office. Through my tax money.”

Won’t do any good.

We should charge criminals with attempted murder if the home defense doesn’t kill them. For all you know they are bringing the virus into your home, while you are obeying safety rules.

THAT employer should immediately contact the state UNEMPLLYMENT officials.

IF YOU QUIT-—YOU CAN NOT collect unemployment. Not in any state & ever worked in.

I did payroll for more than one company & was a payroll supervisor for 750 workers in 7 states with one company.

I NEVER heard of being able to QUIT & COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT.

IF ANYONE knows this employer, get them to contact officials. & stop this nonsense.

Totally understandable. Democrats have an unusual perspective. Some laws apply only to Republicans. Other laws do not apply to Democrats. Still other laws should not apply to people of color. Police should not arrest people i “protected classes.” They should not be sent to jail or prison or correction centers.

Now Democrats see an excuse to set them free. To restore their voting rights. To give them welfare, unemployment, and have them vote Democrat. I always like to ask my liberal friends if in restoring their voting rights, should we also restore their 2nd Amendment rights as well. I always get no, that is different from them.

So what could possibly go wrong with setting felons free? What could go wrong with hamstringing the police to the point they can't arrest or stop protected groups? What could go wrong with decriminalizing all drug charges?

Well, the independents to determine election outcomes could become so upset that vigilante justice comes into style again. There is nothing that Professional Democratic Party elite fear more than an armed citizenry that knows who has failed to protect “We the People.”
