Yeah, let Mueller run amok while you tackle the marijuana problem - and it's huge. Just the other day I was walking through Dupont Circle (here in the swamp) when there were two dudes playing chess, and from the odor had had a toke or two. The one guy moves B-Q5. Bad move man. Bad move. And the other guy was too stoned to see it. And the cops just let it go.
I haven’t smoked a joint since 1968 but with all the talk about it of late I feel the urge.
How many dealers have you put 'out of business' today? So what are you waiting on Coward? Yeah, that's what I thought. A big yellow streak runs down your blueunicorn back!
Democrats would like nothing better than to make Marijuana legal throughout the country and pass it out on every street corner, as it’s a well known fact that Marijuana makes people stupid and stupid people vote Democrat.
What you said!
Although it’ll just whistle past some.
This kind of tone-deafness will cost Trump his base. MAGA was never about re-fighting the failed drug wars of the 80s. Reefer madness might be a priority to those who held their noses and voted for Trump after Jeb didn't make the cut but it certainly wasn't a priority to those who were passionate about Trump from the beginning.
If Trump loses his base, it's all over. Jeff Sessions needs to go. He is utterly useless and will doom Trump's presidency.
I don't know Sessions or have an opinion about him one way or another. I do know that nobody is perfect and that none of Trump's appointees will be perfect, either.
The old saying that you can't please everyone applies here.
I live in Washington and many of the municipalities have embraced marijuana because it provide something to be taxed.
Never mind the social problems that it causes.
Now, at night, the wife and I don't like to be out because not only does one deal with alcohol impaired drivers, but with ones that are 'high' as well.
Furthermore, since legalization of marijuana is still relatively new, the social ramifications have yet to be blatantly apparent. But, they will surely appear.
Sheesh!!! There are many people in several different threads making the same groundless accusations toward Sessions about why Hillary hasn't been pursued. So, I meant people, including you, because it was Trump's decision, not Sessions'.
And no cabinet member is pursuing Trump's agenda more than Sessions: border enforcement, immigration law enforcement in general, actions against sanctuary cities, etc. Look at State and Defense to find areas where his agenda is not being followed. Even Commerce and Treasury.
And just about everything in this article and thread involves a Task Force and a request for input on areas that might be changed.

The cops could have threatened a ticket if the guy didn’t retract that retarded move.
Seriously, I think that Cruz thread’s headline is accurate. DJT tasked him with finding a hidden bear in the DOJ to interim AG Jeff out of his job.
**Sessions is part of the swamp**
There is no denying it anymore. The ONLY way that’s not true is if This is a ruse by POTUS & Sessions to keep the Dems off guard, but facts don’t point to that possibility.
- Comey said in his testimony that he essentially knew that Sessions would be recusing himself.
- No one with his long years in DC would not know that Rosenstein is deep state, yet he hired him anyway. And Rosenstein appointed Mueller within days, much too quickly to have NOT planned it beforehand.
- If Sessions was just naive and that’s the reason he picked Rosenstein, then he should do the honorable thing and stop this witch hunt. Instead, he’s hiding in a broom closet at DOJ, only coming out to announce his new crackdown on dangerous (gasp!) weed-smokers and his plans to seize their personal property. It’s disgusting when I think of how the money for a new “War on Drugs” could be spent.
- I think Sessions was genuine in his initial support due to the immigration issue. But once Trump won and the Dems got over their shock, they pulled out their trusty files on Session and found something on him. Sessions values his reputation way too much and they knew that was his weakness. He probably cheated on his wife ONE TIME in 1976 or surfed porn ONE TIME in 1997 or some other “moral offense” and the deep state knows that’s his Achilles heel (”OMG! What if everyone finds out I’m not a perfect Christian?!?!”)
I have no other explanation why he would stab Donald J. Trump in the back like he did. And more importantly, nothing else explains when he doesn’t FIX THE MESS HE CREATED.
This had BETTER all be a ruse or he’ll spend his retirement years receiving hate mail from 62 million Trump voters.
‘“Booze does way worse. You think we should bring Prohibition back?”
New Left propaganda from the 60’s.
“You never smoked pot, did you?”
Still pushing the same fallacy, eh infinnegan. Like a broken record on a different day.
In “ifinnegan land” if you support the legalization of cannabis you automatically are a leftist or a marxist, or a pothead (and if you don’t use cannabis & still support it’s legalization you’re just crazy lololololol) or a progressive (no wait, that’s another prohibitionist’s favorite term, I get their respective rants confused sometimes lol), or an Obama supporter, etc...
More freedom is always better, infinnegan. If you are against the use of cannabis, don’t use it.
Btw, your support of unConstitutional nanny-statism makes you a RINO at best.
>> 1. Not one investigation into Crooked Hillary’s foundation.
2. Not one investigation into Crooked Hillary’s illegal, secrecy-devastating Email Server.
3. Not one investigation into Susan Rice’s illegal unmasking of private citizens.
4. Not one investigation into MANY other Democrat crimes.
5. But, recusal vis-a-vis Russian fake-investigations, a crackdown on pot, and a increase in civil forfeiture.
Sessions is part of the swamp.

What is going to be the Democrat response, to introduce a bill banning companies from drug-testing all but the most dangerous jobs?

I’m sorry but given everything else going on, hearing this is extremely frustrating.
The BS is on you
Show me where my BS is.
You think there are no international agreements in the weeds?
What? Drinking too much to properly format a question?
Are you talking about the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1961) and the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971)?
Do you agree with UN meddling in American law?
Congress is the branch that is responsible for what becomes law.
No shit, Sherlock! Where have I said somebody else was responsible?
Get a clue, Commander Clueless, and don't castigate those with more knowledge than you on an issue! Congress passed the buck on schedule change as is clearly evident in the law posted above.
Some more clues for you...controlled substance act schedule change
Oh, good, a dealer!
Sessions is a terrible disappointment to me. I expected him to go after the Clinton Foundation & Cankles herself. I wanted President Trump to fire him the day he recused himself from the Russia farce.
Session’s recent announcement for more property seizures without waiting for an actual conviction plus his strange obsession with marijuana tells me he was the right guy for the campaign but the wrong guy for AG.
No more than before, since people responsible enough to avoid pot when it was illegal will be responsible enough to avoid driving under its influence when it's legal.
“I happen to agree that marijuana increases crime”
The only reason pot increases crime is because it’s against the law. Manufacture, distribution, sales, possession and use are all crimes.
This link between pot and crime is a false one.
