BIDEN RAMPS UP ENFORCEMENT AS DRUG WAR TURNS 50 - WTF???
Love him or hate him...Jimmy Dore nails this...JUNE 4, 2021
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland revealed the new DOJ plans last week. The administration claims the new approach is meant to protect communities from the recent increase in major violent crimes.
“The Deputy Attorney General is issuing a comprehensive strategy to deploy our federal resources in the most effective way, disrupting the most dangerous threats and supporting the ground-level efforts of local law enforcement. In this endeavor, we will engage our communities as critical partners,” Garland noted. “And through our grant-making, we will support programming at all stages – from the earliest violence interruption strategies to post-conviction re-entry services.”
This all sounds well and good. But some believe it may just be another extension of the War on Drugs framed as an effort against violent crime.

BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

I hate the drug war... Hate it.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Drug wars do not work. If there is profit in drugs someone will take the risk. If they get jailed, someone else takes their place and they are a little smarter.
Drugs can be beaten by drying up the market. That requires lots of drug intervention programs that are easy to get into. It takes legalization. You cannot stop drugs, but you can take the profit out. Provide help to get off and if they cannot then supply the drugs. That keeps them from committing crimes to support a habit.
This is far too adult for America.
