Re: Trump - The NEW, New Thread
No, actually, you don't get to rabidly worship Trump, the man who appointed Jeff Sessions as AG, and then claim to be libertarian on drugs. You're a hypocrite of the highest magnitude imaginable.
Clinton's platform including the following drug reform policy:
Not a panacea by any means, but a step in the right direction. Trump had no such policy proposals, obviously, and has actually appointed, as Attorney General, an imbecile who has amped up and sentences for low-level drug offenses.
You now get one post, per day, in which I take something idiotic you say and point out your stupidity for everyone to laugh at. No more. This was your post for today. I hope you enjoyed it.

Today in America, more than one out of every 100 adults is behind bars. This mass incarceration epidemic has an explicit racial bias, as one in three black men can expect to go to prison in their lifetime. A significant number of those incarcerated are held for low-level, nonviolent offenses. We must end the era of mass incarceration by:
Reforming mandatory minimum sentencing. Excessive federal mandatory minimum sentences keep nonviolent drug offenders in prison for too long—and have increased racial inequality in our criminal justice system. Hillary will reform this system by:
-Cutting mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenses in half.
-Allowing current nonviolent prisoners to seek fairer sentences.
-Eliminating the sentencing disparity for crack and powder cocaine so that equal amounts of crack and powder cocaine carry equal sentences, and applying this change retroactively.
-Reforming the “strike” system, so that nonviolent drug offenses no longer count as a “strike,” reducing the mandatory penalty for second- and third-strike offenses.
Focusing federal enforcement resources on violent crime, not simple marijuana possession. Marijuana arrests, including for simple possession, account for a large number of drug arrests. Significant racial disparities exist in marijuana enforcement—black men are significantly more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than their white counterparts, despite the fact that their usage rates are similar. Hillary will allow states that have enacted marijuana laws to act as laboratories of democracy and reschedule marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule II substance.
