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.

US President Donald Trump has vowed to start building a wall on the Mexican border "soon, way ahead of schedule", in a speech at a conservative event.

"We're building the wall," he said. "In fact it's going to start very soon. Way ahead of schedule. It's way, way, way ahead of schedule."
I guess we can rest easy that it's never going to happen or the construction of "The Chain-Link Fence" will be starting around Q4.

LOL that loving smile

If he's making a What About Bob? reference then he's portraying Trump as becoming irrationally unhinged and increasingly hostile towards a well-meaning man who is helping his family and the people in his community while on vacation. He eventually goes over the edge (largely due to his inflated ego) and tries to have him committed before trying to murder him (both fail).

If it was supposed to be a "temporary" 90-day ban, y'know, until they "figure things out," then shouldn't it be like a 55-day ban now?

Lol at anyone ever who thinks saying "Don't believe all the negative reports" does anything but strengthen the credibility of the negative reports. Also I wonder if the dummy in charge of @potus just randomly retweets easy d or if Trump tells them "that's a good a one, retweet that one from the official United States President account, of which I am the owner"
Imagine, it's like those fancy nuclear launch setups where the generals both turn their keys at the same time, but instead it's Trump tweeting and then having to track down someone in the WH who has the @POTUS login and forcing him to copy/paste it ("don't just retweet!") before Bannon or Priebus can find him and convince him not to or he gets distracted by a television screen tuned to Fox and forgets what he was doing.

Maybe they thought MoW was supposed to be temporary assistance, like a safety net program to use until you got back on your feet, and these seniors were going to start taking care of themselves again and cooking for themselves and going to out socialize. When viewed in that light, then I guess MoW would look like a pretty spectacular failure.

Now that I think about it, Social Security is also failing to get seniors back to work, and people on Medicare still have increasingly more expensive health costs, so we should cut those failing programs, too. Neither of them has shown a profit in years!
