Just wait until you see the price tag for the private prisons to hold all the illegal detainees and the arrests from from this new 'crackdown' on Marijuana, this administration is going to give a new meaning to "mass incarceration" .And before you jump in to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, look at the stock market movement for CCA & GEO since Trump was elected. Pick the days when he delivers news about the possibility of large number of people being locked up and these two stocks (largest prison corporations in the US) move in lockstep.
it's about what he controls-- if he has any group wanting any special rights that do not align with him, he is going to blow them out of the water--- you watch, little by little his agenda will be to kill all the diversity- & special interest of the people - I have figured out-- the trumpettes are really the "control freaks" - and they have their man at the wheel--
I thought that Republicans were for "State's rights." Is it only when it is for something they approve of?
I thought you were for Federal laws being enforced? Is it only when it is something Democrats approve of?
I'm loving Trump. I'm not a marijuana smoker and actually hate the way the stuff makes me feel. So, I have zero desire or attraction to marijuana. I never think of it. An entire garage or huge duplex could be filled with garbage bags full of it and not a single thought--nor desire--would come to my mind to smoke even a single joint of it.
The only thought that might come to my mind with that massive quantity is to sell it. To weed heads.
But I probably wouldn't do that as to not break the law.
So, arresting marijuana smoker's does not effect me. Can't do the time, don't do the crime. But marijuana smoker's just can't help themselves, even in the face of going to jail they still have to smoke their ganja So they can get high as a kite.
This is just being mean..there is no reason for it. I don't smoke weed but really this administration just can't keep their slimy fingers out of anything
And Melissa McCarthy...I mean Sean Spicer claims they are doing this to fight opioid addiction
It's more than "just being mean"-it's doing the JOB of the executive branch. Which is enforcing the law. Guess what? Weed is still illegal at the federal level. I think that's stupid and a waste of money to try to enforce pot laws. But the problem isn't the fact that he is doing his job-it is that such a law exists in the first place. The easy solution? Convince congress to change the law. Which IS their job.
But hey, what fun are facts when you're just looking for an excuse to bash Trump.
If Trump thinks he can put the genie back in the bottle with weed, he's delusional. A dumb issue to get caught up in ....it's a state issue.
The problem is that some states will not manage their own affairs on certain issues and federal regulations and enforcement is necessary. Such as southern states on civil rights and some red states regarding environmental protection, because the state governments are corrupt and in the pocket of miners and oil producers. Obviously some states, sadly my own, are willing to let marijuana become legal and federal action is all there is to stop it.

Highly misleading. Spicer has no authority to do anything.

That's not quite a 'fact' there are thousands of laws that are not enforced for a number of reasons. Please don't act like this is some noble act of this dysfunctional administration because it's not. My guess is that this is a big wet kiss to Jeff Sessions who says that "good people don't smoke marijuana", in all likelihood it's probably a quid pro quo in which Sessions has promised that DOJ won't prosecute Trump for his Russian connections if he gets to go after all those awful pot smokers.
And no one needs to look for an excuse to bash Trump, he creates new reasons every single day without any help, his ability to continue committing unforced errors is just amazing.
Trump tried to bury an intelligence report that found no evidence of extra threat posed by travel-ban nations & intelligence agencies are disturbed that Trump demands a report that fits his conclusions rather than let the conclusions be drawn from the evidence. WH request for report to back travel ban prompts dissent, concern among some intel officials - CNNPolitics.com
Highly misleading. Spicer has no authority to do anything.
Who said that he did???? He speaks for the administration, they wind him up and tell him what to say and he goes out there and says it. If he misrepresented the Administration on this issue, why haven't they walked it back?
