Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the Third.

I'm not a huge proponent of weed (beyond its clinical usefulness for some people) but I am a proponent of decriminalizing weed, mostly because it's a big component of our screwed-up criminal justice system.

The people in the media who are vehemently anti-marijuana are also big supporters of the carceral state. The way the money flows makes this pretty transparent.

600 leaders of Sessions church file a formal complaint against him for child abuse from his policy change in immigration and for racial discrimination for ordering the repeal of all Obama era consent decrees by police departments. I know some of you will say these consent decrees must be filled with a bunch of liberal hoopla but I have actually read them. They couldn't fellaciate cops anymore in these reports if they tried. In almost all cases cops actually admit what they were doing was racist and/or not legal and all it really amounted to was the police promising to try harder to abide by the law. Literally whilena DoJ official was in a car with a NYPD cop ha supervisor told the cop to go **** with some black kids and when the cop says he has no legal reason to do so the supervisor said "then make it up". That's one of those things they promised not to do anymore.




When your own church calls you racist along with about half the country...... you might be a racist.

I do take solace from the fact that he and his family are Methodists.

Trump otoh is Presbyterian, which while not the most significant part of his identity does say something. His mother was born in Scotland, so she is part of the rootstock of Presbyterianism. People who have tried to understand Trump have focused on his relationship with his father, but I think it is worth repeating the old saying: cherchez la femme. There is a bit of a research literature out there that shows that women who have troubled relationships with men often had a troubled or distant or non-existent relationship with their father, and men who have trouble relating to women had similarly problematic relationships with their mother.

I make these observations as a neutral non-Protestant, but one who from time to time has taken a somewhat academic interest in the various factions of Protestantism. In the interests of full disclosure, I am a fan of Methodism. I think it has had a tremendously positive impact on the lives of its adherents, and also has contributed to progress in the countries where it has taken root. Sorry for the digression.

I think I figured out how to legalize pot using legal bribery. Couldnt some of these big marijuana companies offer Jefferson like 500 million to license his image for a brand of marijuana? Might have to wait until he is not AG buy that wont be long. As the million dollar man would say "everybodys got a price".

DoJ replaces immigration judge for askin for more information which delays deportation. This should show you that these are nothing more than kangaroo courts. If a judge can be replaced if the AG doesnt like their ruling is extremely troubling. In fact no other immigration judge can give a valid ruling as this is intimidation by the DoJ to influence judges decisions. Seems like a classic case of obstruction of justice to me.

“You want to know what this was really all about,” Ehrlichman, who died in 1999, said in the interview after Baum asked him about Nixon’s harsh anti-drug policies.

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying,” Ehrlichman continued.

“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Senior Nixon aide John Erlichman, 1994.

from this to the killings of left leaders from the radical right of that time that has been reborn with this regime

the so called radical left has a lot to do to come close to the blood on the hands of the republican party for what they have done to this country

Really kind of ironic that the guy who started the war on drugs was a criminal who was pardoned to avoid prison.

It is. And, more expansively than that, the guy who championed “law and order” was the one whose administration racked up the most indictments and convictions. I think we’re definitely in a situation where history is going to rhyme.

Considering that one of Nixon's first big gigs was to be one of Tailgunner Joe McCarthy's right hand men should have been a pretty good clue what was to come later. Also, he won his first election in CA by accusing his opponent of being a communist. Later he said something along the lines of "I knew he wasn't a communist, but I had to win". Yep, no possible foreshadowing going on there, huh?

Nixon is an endlessly fascinating figure. Lots of good books have been written about those years, but I really recommend Ron Perlstein’s Nixonland as an eye-opening primer on the age as well as the man.

There are some obvious parallels between Trump’s America and Nixon’s, but a couple of things really stand out in contrast. First, we hear a lot of rhetoric about how polarized our politics are (and it’s true, owing to decades of gerrymandering and tectonic shifts in media) but the country as a whole is downright placid compared to Nixon-era America. You had political assasinations, inner-city riots, middle-class Northern and Midwestern whites rioting over housing policy, anti-war activists literally setting themselves on fire...it’s not remotely comparable. The second is that Nixon, for all his flaws—and he was corrupt, paranoid, and a generally ****ty person—was twice the man, twice the politician, and twice the intellect that Trump is.
