I feel the same way for every criminal involved in trafficking illegal substances into our communities.
LMAO, nice. This one's my favorite. Someone posted it on here.... And it's so true. It's like gun control advocates think that these kinds of things only impact criminals.
It was me. I like to post it when liberals cry about their weed and scream for gun bans in the same week. Oops thought you were talking about my meme. I like yours too.
I don't smoke pot and I oppose this. 1. It will ruin a lot of lives. Locking people up for drug possession. Try getting a job later. Families torn apart. Due to Reagan-era "just say no" policies people with drug convictions are forever barred from accessing all kinds of services, from student loans to federally subsidized housing. A person convicted of rape, murder, armed robbery, after serving his/her sentence, can apply for a federal student loan but not a person convicted of marijuana possession. 2. Prisons will become even more hideously overcrowded, hence more violent. Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Session III has announced the federal government once again wants to use privately run prisons, which are even worse than the state and federal prisons, and that's a pretty low bar. 3. A massive use of federal resources to lock people up for smoking pot. Meanwhile the proposed budget is expected to have drastic cuts in social security, Medicare, housing, transportation, education, not to mention eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, Legal Services Corporation, end funding to Corporation for Public Broadcasting and OF COURSE Planned Parenthood. Is this how we want resources spent? Prisons, not schools? 4. The only beneficiaries will be the private prison industry who donated heavily to the Trump campaign. Is this what will "make America great again"? More people locked up so some of the most vicious capitalists, the ones who invest not in making things but in misery, can get richer? 5. It is of a piece with the entire first month of the Trump presidency which has been defined by cruelty. Towards animals, working class homeowners, transgender students. Immigrant parents dragged away from their crying children, patients dragged out of hospitals, the Muslim ban. Now lock up pot smokers. Trump is a vicious, petty bully who takes pleasure from causing pain and distress to vulnerable people, you know, "losers". The secret plan to defeat ISIS never existed, ISIS shoots back. The campaign rhetoric to take on Wall Street was horseshit, the cabinet is filled with Wall Street Executives. Trump kisses the asses of the powerful and kicks the powerless in the face. What a nasty man. Or I should say, excuse for a man.
i think pot should be legal. but i reject the argument that a pot smoker is a victim. if you know smoking pot is illegal, and you choose to partake anyway, then you deserve to go to jail because you don't follow the law. If alcohol was banned again, i'd simply stop drinking until it was legal again. and people who made and sold liquor would be put in jail for breaking the law. I get all the arguments for it being legal, and i agree with many of them. but it still isn't legal so why do people cry about the punishment? If you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime. The KKK doesnt believe killing black people should be illegal, but society has told them to go fuck themselves. If they choose to kill despite it being illegal I certainly hope you'd want them tossed in prison, if not hung? I know, I know, apples and oranges. But it is the same idea. Society has deemed certain things illegal, so dont do it and you don't go to jail? Or do it and accept the consequences when you are caught. Personal responsibility one of those liberal triggering terms.
I dont think he realizes how many of those on the Trump Train smoke pot. I do not, but a lot of fellow supporters I know do.
Sure, because that law would immediately face a constitutional challenge. Now, if the 2nd amendment were actually repealed, that would be a different story.
trump thinks abortion is murder, but wants to leave that up to the states to decide? But not this? SAD The guy is business as usual, plain and simple. Bought and paid for by his donors.
Trump overturns protection for transgender students, says leave to states. Driving 5 mph over the speed limit is illegal. How many here have done so? (raise my hand) Should every illegal act carry a lifetime punishment? Is this what you really want a president to focus on? Not ISIS, not jobs, not infrastructure, not opportunity, lock up pot smokers and make transgender students face harassment and assault when they need to pee? BTW, forcibly grabbing women "by the pussy" is assault and that is illegal.
Weed has finally become a bipartisan issue. Whether its for reasons of states rights, personal liberties, medical or just the fact that it is fun and not very harmful. Genie is out of the bottle on this one, Trump is not fight a smart fight with this one, but I don't think he cares. Ive got to wonder how much is just lip service though.
There you go. One's a protected (or should be...) Constitutional Civil Right (bearing Arms). The other isn't (Pot Smoking). Seems pretty simple to me. Except if you live in California...where they pretty much wipe their ass with the Constitution, and get away with it.
I assumed they were high on something, there's no other explanation. I thought it was paint sniffing, though. barfo
