FOLLOW THE MONEY -> PRÍVATE PRISONS ・・・ Repost @freedom_faction ・・・ This week, #PresidentDonaldTrump’s Attorney General, #JeffSessions turned back all the progress made in the #warondrugs and began a federal attack on states’ rights by rescinding a policy that allowed states to make up their own minds on #cannabislegalization. This move will inevitably lead to more crime, put more cops in danger, fill more prisons, oppress more people, and bolster the #policestate in general. When the federal government interferes with states’ rights by kidnapping, caging, and killing people over a plant their citizens agreed to legalize—this is not freedom—it is tyranny. What’s more, promising to attack peaceful people for choosing to ingest a plant that can treat illness, cure addiction, and simply make people happy is the complete opposite of #MAGA. Coincidentally, prior to being elected president, Trump was outspoken about this very issue and promised to stop any AG he appointed if they attempted to do exactly what Jeff Sessions did on Thursday. In a previous interview, Trump says he’d never let his AG reinstate the federal ban on #marijuana because “it’s up to the states,” said Trump. “I think it should be up to the states. Absolutely.” Judging by his silence on Sessions’ tyrannical move yesterday, though, it appears that Trump couldn’t care less about the rights of states. This should come as no surprise as in February of last year, then-White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told us all that this would happen. When asked about the rollback of #Obamaadministration rules on bathroom and locker room access for transgender kids in schools, Spicer said, “The president believes it’s a states’ rights issue.” Incredibly, during the same briefing, Spicer signaled the Justice Department was looking at “greater enforcement” of federal laws against sales of recreational marijuana, setting up this showdown that we are now witnessing. The good news is, however, that his support base is calling him out for it and noting that such a tyrannical move by the AG will never #MAGA.
