        Given that most felons are people convicted of drug crimes and targeted because of their race, I’d say that many if not most don’t even require reform. I’d probably rather spend time with most felons than most CEOs.

          We should forgive drug “use” crimes, but not drug “distribution” crimes. Those people destroy families and communities.

        You’re correct but, I like to use both what they do and don’t do 🤷‍♂️

        Wait- aren’t those the same thing in a way? 🤔

          Yes, those are the same thing. The person you’re replying to makes some good points, but in a word-salad way.

          They’re confusing something the president didn’t do as a non-action, but “not telling the truth” = “lying”.

          I think (hope) what they were trying to say was the common saying, something like, “Judge someone more on what they do than what they say.” For example, if a president says “protect America”, like who wouldn’t want that? But when what they “do” is deport legal, non-criminal immigrants who have valid work and school visas, that is what you should be watching.

            I think the “half truths” make it a less apt comparison but I think using that riddle is a really good way to think about it!
