It’s Amy Schumer, not Chelsea Handler, who’s always being accused of stealing other people’s material, right? Handler’s take on the Senate’s 87-12 vote to send the First Step Act back to the House is something we’ve already seen hundreds of times in other threads, but she’s the professional activist and comedian, so we’ll give her writing credit:
Don’t you think Jared Kushner was pushing so hard for criminal justice reform so that he wouldn’t be there so long once he gets indicted and convicted? I mean, I’ll take it, but let’s get real.

Notice that, “I mean, I’ll take it” in that tweet? This was bipartisan legislation that was pushed hard by people like Sen. Cory Booker and Jared Kushner (not to mention that Oval Office visit by Kim Kardashian, where she lobbied successfully for a pardon for 63-year-old Alice Johnson, serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense).
You really have issues!

If you’re ok with these idiots running our country, then i would argue that you have issues

Speaking of criminal justice reform and idiots, wasn’t it Handler who proved in a recent tweet that she didn’t know that an indictment is not “proof of criminal activity”? Yes, it was her:
To all the trump supporters who follow me who I have no desire to spend my time blocking, indictments are not fake news. They are proof of criminal activity. These are facts. Everyone is the presidents circle is a criminal because they all work for one.

“These are facts.”
Handler’s Kushner joke was pretty lame, and the majority of Handler’s followers are all tweeting, “My thoughts exactly.” And that’s what’s scary; how many of them actually believe Trump supported the First Step Act to keep himself and his family out of jail? A lot, sadly.
But it seems sadly predictable she had to find some way to downplay what Democrats and Republicans — led by the president — are celebrating as an important step in reforming the justice system. Sure, 87 senators from both parties supported it so Kushner would receive a reduced sentence.
"Let's get real"? Oh, the irony ?

Read the bill…
— FuzzyFace56 (@FuzzyFace56) December 19, 2018
Why can’t we just be excited about the reform. Does it matter who pushed it? Does it matter if it was Democrat’s the republicans, it shouldn’t. It’s a bill to HELP those who have been forgotten and hurt by Bill Clinton’s previous bill?

We think it was just an attempt at a joke … maybe?
Seems a stretch.

It’s true … like we said, she’ll take it.
Bump stock bans, no wall, and prison reform legislation. Let’s stop pretending Trump is some arch conservative villain, you liberal wack job.

No. He, and the Trump administration, care about the well being of all Americans. The war on drugs decimated minority communities. This will well help put father's back in the lives of their children.

??? amazing how Dems champion prison reform publicly, but vote against it religiously. #clintons and their #superpredator prison con job.. killing the black family finally gets axed by the most pro black president ever & you spin it into “self serving”. We call that projection
— Jake Stephens (@TinCup_87) December 19, 2018
It must drive you crazy good things are actually happening under Trump that didn’t get done under Obama. Things he failed to even address.
