  • > Democrats: Run most leftist administration in the history of the country

    > Democrats: Pass law after law and EO after EO that are a wishlist of progressive and leftist policies

    > Democrats: Put officers from the most famous leftist movement in a century in high and visible positions of power in the government

    > Leftists online: We never get anything by voting for Democrats they have betrayed us and move to the right constantly

  • It’s the explicit definition barred under the 13th Amendment. So, it’s the appropriate one to use.

    Your other definition similarly doesn’t work with your argument. It’s not “for the profit of another” it’s as punishment for a criminal act and even if the primary goal was profit, it’s not “for another” it’s being employed in the service of society.

    The final definition also fall short. It’s not exploitative, it’s not coercion. It’s forced and delivered by the established system of justice.

    Here’s the thing, you don’t have to like labor as a criminal punishment. But, your distaste for the practice doesn’t make it slavery.









  • In a letter accompanying the report, Army senior counsel Paul DeAgostino said the redactions were done to protect personal privacy and information compiled for law enforcement purposes. He said the records are part of an ongoing investigation and their release “could reasonably be expected to interfere with ongoing enforcement proceedings.”

    The Army echoed DeAgostino’s comment, saying in a statement that it released the report to comply with the court order, adding that the police investigation “remains open and we are therefore unable to provide further information at this time.”
