Yah but remember the argument was "We have to punch Nazis so they won't assemble and they're scared" well the police are going to really do that but to protesters so thank god the Nazi threat was vanquished

I'm p sure that they are just using the GOP sweep as an opportunity to pass all kinds of poo poo like that whether it is dismantling environmental protections or it is making it harder for people to protest and punching Richard Spencer has nothing to do with that man.


Either way punching a Nazi is not sufficient cause to be curtailing the right to assemble. That's bad policy and I'm not going to blame a very small number of protesters for it.

Arizona, good example of a properly run government that has to turn to extreme measures because of those violent liberals, yep, no issues here, not a completely idiotic talking point

quote:

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Thursday suggested the Trump administration will step up enforcement of federal laws against recreational marijuana.

“I think you’ll see greater enforcement,” Spicer said, while adding the exact policy is “a question for the Department of Justice.”

It’s the latest sign President Trump is poised to take a tougher approach than the Obama Justice Department did in states that have legalized the use of recreational marijuana.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions was coy about his approach last month during his confirmation hearing.
"Using good judgment about how to handle these cases will be a responsibility of mine,” he said. “I know it won't be an easy decision, but I will try to do my duty in a fair and just way."

Sessions has been a critic of recreational marijuana laws in the past.

The silver lining in them being dumb enough to try and shut down recreational stores is it will cost them support and votes. Between one third and one half of Republicans support legalization, especially in states where it has passed so expect major bipartisan backlash.

Agreed, legalization is basically a bipartisan issue with a lot of money and jobs behind it.

it was outlawed and demonized in the 60s and 70s to create an easy way to bust people for hanging out in large hippy groups and talking about why the government sucks and how to fix it. Basically even Nixon knew he wasn't allowed to just toss people in jail for being a hippy and talking about how the government sucks so he decided that drugs should have much harsher penalties. The people at the top knew weed wasn't actually that dangerous but they really didn't like people being all "war is murder" and stuff so they went along with it, and the sentiment slowly trickled down and then all the regular conservative voting public was like "YEA, WEED IS THE DEVIL" and that train of thought has really only just started going away as they start to die off.

crack was turned against inner-city black people the same way, except the rich whiteys loved cocaine a bunch so they were like "well what if we just make the crack MEGA MEGA illegal but keep cocaine a slap on the wrist".
