I guess it is far better to initiate contact with the Russians and create a phony dossier as a pretext to monitor the Trump campaign and transition teams along with his activities as the sitting President using taxpayer-funded resources of the intel community. What is more dangerous and treasonous, agreeing to meet with Russians offering possible dirt on Hillary or weaponizing the government to go after a political opponent?
For over a year we have witnessed an attempted coup d'état against a duly, elected President.

People that smoke illegally these days in non weed legal states are smoking weed from legal states.

When you purchase dabs and sometimes even actual bud in non weed legal states, they are literally packaged with labels from dispensaries in Colorado or Oregon. Legalizing weed destroys the market for lovely mexican ditch weed.

Cartels still move a lot of meth, coke, and opioids though.

This is such a hilariously bad take. Sure, growing the stuff across the border and then moving it illegally into the US to then sell it on a black market is surely going to undercut local growers selling either directly or through a storefront. That's absolutely how it's going to work. Not.

Steve Bannon cares about Steve Bannon’s agenda. Briefly, it was sort of congruent with Donald Trump’s agenda, but quickly veered into a sort of fever swamp of its own.

Steve Bannon may yet make his way back to civilization, but if it shall be in time to make a sufficient impact upon the elections of 2018, is still a little too soon to tell. First he may have to sign a peace treaty with Trump World.

Not comparing on the same moral plane, but Bannon was to Trump what Che Guevara was to Fidel. One was a real revolutionary who believed in the real transformational purpose of their revolution only to be disillusioned and sent away because the road to the ‘end game’ became too disconnected for either to accept in harmony.

"Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was," Trump said of Bannon, the executive chairman of right-wing news outlet Breitbart News. "It is the only thing he does well. Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books," he added.

This doesn't even sound like Trump. It is constructed in complete sentences.

No one is smarter than our great President Trump.

This makes no sense at all.

Why would Bannon do anything to threaten President Trump???
What else does he want: A RAT back in the White House or a stupid RINO???

Still, his involvement with Moore in Alabama—and throwing away an otherwise safe GOP senate seat—is unacceptable.
Moore even had a weak history of eking out victories in deep red Alabama.
BTW, it was sickening to watch Vice-President Pence have to swear in two RATS today (Jones and Smith from Minnesota in Franken’s seat).

I hope President Trump keeps tabs on all of Bannon’s shenanigans and doesn’t allow him to jeopardize any other GOP seats.

I’m not convinced Trump and Bannon are enemies.

This sounds like the media trying to instigate a rift.

Bannon is far more astute than to think he could challenge Trump at the polls.

None of this really makes sense.

I want the illegal border crossings to cease and for my President to be free to keep Radical Islamic Terrorists out of our country.

Finally, I don’t want any more RATS to win or for any RINOs to go to Washington.

Yesterday, it was bad enough thinking of Romney being a Senator.
Today, speculation is that he might challenge President Trump in 2020. Yikes.

One final point: Senator Rand Paul pointed out how Utah voters need to remember RomneyCare was the premise upon which Obamacare was founded. Paul questioned Romney’s conservative credentials, in general.

I’m disgusted with Bannon. He has verified his statements to Wolff and knew very well he was attempting to harm Trump’s presidency. I’m beginning to think Bannon is a megalomaniac. He lost his ‘prestige’ when he backed Roy Moore and turned the Senate seat over to a dem - and now he evidently is hungry for the spotlight.

One thing he knows for sure is that Trump cherishes loyalty more than anything and Bannon just back stabbed him in the most public way possible. Attacking his family sealed Bannon’s fate.

Sadly, this will not stop the book from being the talk on all of the Sunday shows, as well as hundreds of others. The book will be discussed as if it is completely factual.

This will help the Dems to bury the story about Russian collusion, since it is now reflecting on them, as well as the growing reality that the FBI and DOJ conspired to protect Hillary and/or harm POTUS.

Meanwhile, hopefully POTUS will take advantage of the MSM diversion to get some other winning done for us.

The stuff swirling around Brannon seems like Kabuki to me. Go watch his 60 Minutes interview and ask yourself what has changed. Perhaps it’s all real and should be taken at face value, but for now I’m skeptical. POTUS and his cohorts are masters of disinformation and strategic deception. They ran a con with Scaramucci that few have figured out to this day.

I am shocked that the press, Dems, and Never-Trumpers still haven’t caught on to Trump’s modus operandi. I remain confident in A.G. Sessions because I believe they intentionally created the prevailing impression of him as a do-nothing. Trump & Co. are running circles around the Swamp. Once you catch on it’s amazing to watch. I believe this year will be the year of resignations, stunning revelations, investigations, and major indictments. I fully expect to see Hillary indicted. If they don’t indict her this year I believe we will see them working their way toward her. I can’t wait until I.G. Horowitz’s report is issued.

Bannon was just a bad choice, really. The Breitbart thing was a good connection but Trump must have seen this guy for a chump when he showed up to work on day one wearing the same thing from the night before, and subsequently, his last day.

Just the way that Bannon is seen addressing the room in the CNN “mile away sniper footage” is unprofessional and lunatic.

This makes no sense at all.

Why would Bannon do anything to threaten President Trump???
What else does he want: A RAT back in the White House or a stupid RINO???

Still, his involvement with Moore in Alabama—and throwing away an otherwise safe GOP senate seat—is unacceptable.
Moore even had a weak history of eking out victories in deep red Alabama.
BTW, it was sickening to watch Vice-President Pence have to swear in two RATS today (Jones and Smith from Minnesota in Franken’s seat).

I hope President Trump keeps tabs on all of Bannon’s shenanigans and doesn’t allow him to jeopardize any other GOP seats.

Roy Moore would have helped Trump by causing controversy and distraction in his own right. The Left would have hated him so much they would have to take resources away from Trump.

What stings is that Bannon is quoted as saying Donald Trump Jr. will be in the vise grip of Robert Mueller.

We’re going to find out if that comes true.

If you think there is any truth to this hit piece, ask yourself this: even if Wolff had proof that Trump was as horrible a human being as he is depicting him, why would he publish such a book, unless he hoped to influence public opinion against Trump?

The answer is that he wouldn’t - which demonstrates that is clearly his goal - to smear Trump and damage his public image. Once you accept that is his aim, then you realize he is nothing but a Trump hater whose vision is blinded by that hate, and whose sense of honesty and decency has been compromised by it.

A wrong move. There is no requirement that anyone speak well of the president at all times. Unless a breach of contract is involved this is over-kill and will only fuel more anti-Trump sentiment.

It’s Time to Decriminalize Marijuana
National Review ^ | Jan 04, 2018 | David French
Posted on 1/5/2018, 12:41:41 AM by Oshkalaboomboom

This morning, Twitter sparked to life with the news that Attorney General Jeff Sessions intends to rescind multiple memoranda which effectively made it Justice Department policy not to enforce federal bans on the sale and distribution of marijuana in states that have legalized the drug, so long as those states properly regulated its sale and distribution.

The most famous of these memos was authored in 2013, by then–deputy attorney general James Cole. It expressed the Obama DOJ’s desire that states “prevent diversion of marijuana outside the regulated system,” prohibit access to marijuana by minors, and replace the “illicit marijuana trade that funds criminal enterprises with a tightly regulated market in which revenues are tracked and accounted for.” If these conditions were met, Cole’s policy promised, the Department of Justice would exercise its so-called “prosecutorial discretion” to leave the growing “legal” marijuana industry alone, despite the fact that it exists in direct defiance of applicable federal law.

Sessions’s new policy rescinds the Cole Memo and four other similar memos “effective immediately.” It states that from now on prosecutors “should follow the well-established principles that govern all federal prosecutions” in deciding whether to go after the marijuana industry in states where it has been legalized. Contrary to Huffington Post spin, this isn’t a “crackdown.” It’s a restoration of the rule of law and the end of yet another unconstitutional Obama policy that privileged executive power over the American constitutional structure.

It’s also a policy that Congress and the president should quickly override through new legislation. The time has come to decriminalize marijuana.

During the latter part of his administration, President Obama time and again used memoranda and other extra-legal means to try to change federal law. Moving beyond drug enforcement, Obama took significant independent action pertaining to immigration and civil rights. For example, his administration defied the will of Congress on immigration, granting lawful presence to DREAMers and the parents of lawful residents (DACA and DAPA), and dramatically expanded the scope of Title VII and Title IX to extend protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Obama often justified his unconstitutional actions by claiming that Congress “failed to act.” What he meant is that Congress failed to do what he wanted. Yet there is no clause in the Constitution that grants the president the authority to disregard the separation of powers to achieve progressive policy goals.

Unfortunately even members of Congress sometimes inadequately defend the legislative branch’s constitutional prerogatives. This morning, Colorado Republican senator Cory Gardner declared that Sessions had contradicted personal assurances made before his confirmation and “trampled on the will of the voters in [Colorado] and other states.” No, senator, this is exactly wrong. Congress banned the cultivation, distribution, and sale of marijuana nationwide. Thus it is Congress that tramples on the will of Colorado voters. It is Congress that is violating federalist principles in law enforcement.

Gardner is positioned exactly where he needs to be to reform America’s drug laws. As a senator, he could introduce or co-sponsor legislation that explicitly decriminalizes marijuana at the federal level and leaves marijuana laws to the states. And there are multiple powerful arguments he could make in support of such a bill.

First, there’s the federalist argument. In a polarized and divided nation, respecting self-governance and state sovereignty becomes more important, not less. So long as state governments respect fundamental constitutional rights, let California be California and let Colorado be Colorado. As a resident of Tennessee, I’m happy to observe the results of their social, legal, and cultural experiments from a distance.

Second, in a nation with a massive prison population that’s so often torn apart by controversy over police shootings and alleged violations of civil rights, it’s important to look for creative ways to decrease police/civilian interactions and lessen government regulation of private behavior. Simply put, we need fewer criminal statutes and fewer prisoners. No one should believe that marijuana decriminalization will make a material difference in mass incarceration (it won’t), but observing places like California and Colorado will teach us whether we can make a modest start without harming public safety.

Finally, it’s important to know whether marijuana actually possesses meaningful medicinal benefits. Our nation is in the grips of an opioid crisis caused in large part by over-prescription of extraordinarily addictive and potent narcotics. In some instances, marijuana could potentially replace harder and more dangerous drugs. Serious scientific study of that potential is warranted, and Congress should make it easier for doctors to conduct such study.

Gardner and other marijuana-sympathetic senators like Rand Paul and Cory Booker should seize this political moment. Republican congressman Tom Garrett Jr. introduced legislation in the House last year that would remove marijuana from Schedule I of the controlled-substances list. National support for legalization is at an all-time high (64 percent, as of late October 2017), and by getting on board, GOP legislators could reach out to new constituencies — young and minority voters — at the same time that they protect civil liberties and advance federalism.

Don’t blame Jeff Sessions for enforcing the law. Instead, write new legislation, pass it through Congress, and put a bill on the president’s desk. It’s time to do the right thing the right, constitutional way.

quote:

Marijuana will be legalized soon because governments have an insatiable appetite for their drug, tax dollars, and this is a new way to feed the addiction without causing much pain to their constituents. Just as it is in alcohol, gasoline and cigarettes, the tax will be built into the product so the consumer won't notice it when they pay at the register. Deaths and ruined lives will just be collateral damage.

“The time has come to decriminalize marijuana.” Wrong. The time has come to criminalize the plant that triggers psychosis, leads to narcotic addiction and stunts activities in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex.

It is time to criminalize abortion, pornography, hiring of illegals, graffiti and same sex “marriage” certificates.

Marijuana does turn minds to the left. It has already done extreme damage to our government, economy and whole information apparatus over the past 40+ years because of the ways that it has affected the minds of voters.
