Don't think he can do that.

It's another states-rights issue probably.

Otherwise I think Trump would have done that.

Sure. I’ve been critical of trump. Will continue to be.

The House has already passed a bill decriminalizing it federally... McConnell refuses to bring it to the floor. The Dems should be running 24/7 adds in GA saying that giving them control of the Senate could lead to passage of that bill.

Probably would give them the win, yes.

They are running plenty of good ads already lol

Making pot federally legal would be an instant Trump card for tons of people.

There would be no better ad in my opinion.

Lol

It's one of those single-issue votes IMO.

And I don't even smoke pot.

Yup

Perdue and loeffler got rich off insider trading in a pandemic and voted against aid that’s a killer. Got destroyed in debates makes some good ads

Hacks

I just like not being in a war.

Perdue iirc one of the few against round 1 relief

As bad as they are, osoff and warnock or just as bad

Warnock scares me. He’s not a nice dude

If anyone was going to kill off the war on drugs, I'd vote for them in a heartbeat, but it's likely all just promises that won't be kept from 99% of politicians.

How would you even do that? Kill the war on drugs.

Don't even know besides trying to make them legal state-by-state.

And on a federal level.

I guess it’s sort of vague. Would it be just ending sentences for non violent offenders

That's one start.

License selling, etc.

I’d say the first wave of ending war on drugs is started (?) decriminalizing x amount of weed in some cities. Chicago did it. Saw alot less ppl in jail

Same with California and Oregon.

prohibition of alcohol failed same with prohibition of drugs

My grandpa used to make booze illegally lol

Or his dad back then. **

Had the cellar in the basement. Still there

Up next is trying to change Americans to stop treating prior convicted felons like second-rate citizens the rest of their natural lives.

Yup

Especially with the high rates of locking up innocent folks for profit

yeah thats insane, if ppl are a threat they need to remain in jail.. if they served their time they should be actually free and clear

I think with the crazy amount of exonerations that have happened over the past several years - especially given advancements in DNA testing and the Conviction Integrity Units in so many major cities finding so many wrongful convictions - that serious reform is necessary. The death penalty needs to be paused indefinitely until every case can be reviewed. Trump is the first lame duck president to allow executions to take place post election.

Also, prosecutors that knowingly pursue a conviction against someone that they have reason to believe is actually innocent should be held criminally liable. Everybody talks about qualified immunity for cops (rightfully so), but nobody talks about prosecutors.

No one talks about American culture that promote the vicious cycle of punishment indefinitely for prior convicted felons.

And it's one of the biggest problems.

Also think they need jobs. Trade deals aren’t helping with that. Auto manufacturing is perfect for guys like this but most get out and have no work

It's why you have such a terrible rate of rehabilitation.
