I wonder what mister crime bill, lock the S.O.B up, thinks of it... Oh wait I don't have to wonder he just told us!

In 1989 [...] Mr. Biden lamented that the Republican president, George H. W. Bush, was not doing enough to put “violent thugs” in prison. In 1993, he warned of “predators on our streets.” And in a 1994 Senate floor speech, he likened himself to another Republican president: “Every time Richard Nixon, when he was running in 1972, would say, ‘Law and order,’ the Democratic match or response was, ‘Law and order with justice’ — whatever that meant. And I would say, ‘Lock the S.O.B.s up.’”

They do, it’s a monetary value. 200,000 dead Palestinians = Lockheed Martin line go up.

As seen on TV, until used on the press.

9 out of 10 fascists choose Lockheed Martin to cleanse their regions of targeted scapegoats and the media.
