Three questions

1. How was Joe Biden a participant in the 1994 Crime Bill?

2. What did the 2018 FIRST STEP Act signed by President Trump do to counter the negative affects of the 1994 Crime Bill?

3. Who was most affected by the former law and helped by the latter?

  1. Hopefully, this will be my last political comment today. Anyhow, if you know me I try to take things with a grain of salt. We are in an election year, and the rhetoric seems to be way out of control.

    On racism, for instance, some politicians are not going to be able to sell me the idea that this is Trump' fault. Why? Trump has been in office 3 years while Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer have almost 120 years combined in office. Moreover, the previous administration had 8 years.
    If anything, Trump has helped alleviate problems. A good example, the 1994 Crime Bill which landed many black men in prison with long sentences was cowrote by Biden. How did Trump help alleviate? He signed the 2018 FIRST STEP Act which shortened mandatory sentences. Yes, it was a bipartisan bill, but the president can veto and did not. The question is who created the discriminatory problem? If you ask me, the one's accusing Trump are guilty.
