      Meh, Elvis went to the house, was even deputized or some shit.

      And he was dumber than a Kardashian, if that’s possible…

        Even if that was true, he had more talent and charisma than the entire Kardashian/Jenner clan combined in his gyrating hips alone.

          Ok, but is that relevant here? How many non-violent drug offenders did Elvis get out of prison? Oh right, he did the opposite. They gave him a fucking badge and he was a fucking narc

      Americans rejected The Crown, but missed vapid royalty so much, they had to invent their own.

      What if they got on a spaceship and then we lost contact and hundreds of years later we rediscovered them, having evolved through inbreeding and plastic surgery into the Cardassians?

    Think of her what you will but in 2019 she had helped 17 people to get released from prison for non-violent drug crimes and that number is probably much larger today. She has done more good in the world than 99% of the people shitting on her.

      It irks me that she and her family uses the fame of OJ Simpson lawyer Ropert Kardashian to profit off it. Nobody knew the name Kardashian before Simpson murdered two people. A double homicide shouldn’t be the launch of a business empire. I find it immortal but I respect other views as well.

    From the article

    Kardashian’s advocacy has been credited in part with opening the former president up to the idea of criminal justice reform, eventually leading to the passage of the First Step Act in 2018. The prison-reform law marked a rare moment of bipartisanship during Trump’s presidency, and even some of his harshest critics have lauded its passage.

    Not a fan of her or her show but I’m all for her using her fame to help make changes to help people reintegrate back into society.

    Seems absurd but I know nothing about Kim Kardashian, other than she has a famous butt.

    Does anyone know if she’s actually got some expertise on this?

      Is this a serious question ? I’m no fan of Kim but this is topic she is versed on. She worked with Trump to get several people pardons. It’s why is studying to be a lawyer.

      So I’d say she is at least passionate about the topic.

    Umm, did she ever do more than pass that exam? I can’t find her credentials online.

    Kamala must be grinding her teeth to dust doing this song and dance with that abomination of society.
