Best news I've heard for years.

Trump is going to cripple illegal drug activity. The death penalty will be imposed on some of the bastards. The guy has balls, If he can make this work I don't really a shit about most of anything else he fails at. If he can "knee cap" the drugs, health and crime problems will look after themselves.

Like his other ideas, it's based on zero evidence and won't work.

Just watch him! At least his credibility is a little higher than yours! :lol:

 

[Cliffy]

JLM, you are rather naive if you think his words are more than hot air. The US of Aggression is the world leader and distributor of all illicit drugs. If you don't believe me, look up Air America, the Iran/Contra scandal and the real reason why they invaded Afghanistan.

US troops protecting poppy fields in Afghanistan.

Yes today President Trump solved the drug crisis

Do you think he'll get so much as a thank you from the @fakenews media?

 

[mentalfloss]

CNN to the rescue, as usual.

Trump's death penalty plan for drug dealers a 'step backwards'

[Bar Sinister]

Trump's plan should work extremely well given how effective past US crackdowns on the drug trade have been. I did like one comment he made concerning educating people about drug use and offering better health services to combat drug use. However, whether he will follow through on these practical suggestions remains to be seen. Given Trump's track record when it comes to accomplishing anything I won't hold my breath.

 

[Durry]

It's going to hurt the BC economy, wonder if it's part of free trade negotiations?

 

[Hoid]

The drug plan looks to be every bit as comprehensive as the gun plan.

The winning never ends.

 

[Curious Cdn]

I heard him say, specifically that they should execute dealers and "bad abusers"

Does that mean gassing junkies?

 

[Hoid]

It doesn't actually mean anything.

Which is in lock step with his gun control.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

The Supreme Court has shot down the death penalty for rape (1977) and child rape (2008). The general trend, and some of the "dicta" (non-binding language that indicates the direction of the Court's philosophy) is that the death penalty for anything other than premeditated murder is unConstitutional.

That, of course, will never stop Trumputin's tweetstorms.

You have your tin foil hat on too tight again. Baseless allegations with no supporting evidence does not a "world leader and distributor of all illicit drugs" make. Show some examples based on solid evidence or at least provide a credible link if you're going to make such incredible claims.

If Schumer or Pelosi have anything at all to do with it, there's no way in hell any progress will be made on his suggestions, regardless of practicality.

Pretty well all failures on Trump's initiatives is the result of resistance from others!

Kinda like how the Republicans stood in the way of everything Obama tried to do, except that Trump and the Repubs own both houses to. So obstructionism by the Demos is kinda a dumb argument at this point.

Is there some mutant gene on the loose that makes Trumpites blind in both eyes? Do your own research. As for foil hats, Trumpites are the ones wearing them and they hang down over their eyes. I gave you three examples and you still refuse to see. Go see your optometrist.

The fact is that he has no authority to mandate this.

Heis relying on stupid people to boost his ego and ratings.

I see that it is working (sigh).

Excellent point.

Isn't it determined at the State level whether they will execute?
