If Trump had the balls to hard push for marijuana legalization in all 50 states, I'd honestly consider voting for him for the second term. That would singlehandedly bring about huge amounts of tax revenue for states, suppress some of the illegal drug trade and associated gang violence, massively reduce the incarceration rates of Americans (especially minorities), and with the reduced incarceration rates bring about more stabilized families which will lead towards generational benefits.

I would forgive a lot of Trump's shit if he actually lead the charge towards full legalization across the US, not just "state's rights"-level of support.

Lol uhhhhhh

So what I'm getting is that you'll gladly overlook the anti environmental policies, the picking apart of civil rights, Muslim bans, Russian collusion, blurting out classified information, weekly golf trips, and just general gross incompetence.

Not to mention his blatant racism, misogyny, constant bold face lying, and being an outright piece of human shit that embarrasses us on a daily fucking basis.

But weed is more important I guess. (I do definitely agree with though you that it's illegal status is used to incarcerate people, especially minorities).

Also Trump would NEVER FUCKING LEGALIZE WEED.

The funny thing is any AG trump nominates would have a conflict of interest because he’s made it clear he’ll fire any attorney general, no matter how loyal to the agenda, if he or she isn’t willing to stop the Russia investigation

Lay off and layoff have two different meanings. Lay off means stop doing something.

Also I love how Trump thinks his AG should defend him first and foremost instead of doing the right thing according to the law.

And the Democratic candidate would surely run to the right of a Republican president on marijuana legalization?

Well, to be fair, "Not likely to start a nuclear war" is a single issue for me that will change my vote.

I really don't know how anyone can think it's a good idea to get involved with this administration at this point. Maybe they all just think "It'll be different for me!"

It's pretty surreal (and these past 6 months have been ridiculous) that the POTUS is clowning on a prominent member of his staff he nominated on twitter.

It's not like doing anything to Sessions is out of his power.

Chaos administration here.

It's amazing how the trump team is able to use the media as a pawn. LOL at his antics with sessions (there is no rift by the way). All a ploy. I'm interested to see what it's for.

Obviously, look at all the stuff that's been passed with his "strategy," and look at how high his approval is in the country. Truly someone with complete mastery of strategy at work!

My thoughts: He wants sessions to resign but wants to give him an excuse to do so. Why? To put someone in place to save his family. He's probably gone over this with sessions himself. Hence my opinion that there is no rift.

Can we dispel with this notion that Donald Trump knows what he's doing. He has no idea what he's doing :p

He tweeted how weak Sessions is, is that part of it?

This assumes that Sessions doesn't want his current position.

POTUS has not demonstrated himself to be capable of this level of foresight.

There is no plan. This is just Trump being Trunp.

Yep. It needs to be sufficient to have him impeached even if it survives a self-pardon. But you have to keep enough in reserve to charge him with in a post-pardon world too. Though that should be easier on the state side.

If that were true he wouldn't have run to The NY Times and did an interview where he spells out wanting to fire him for recusal.

Truly all a plot. I mean he's passed so much legislation with these genius tactics.

Please. This is who Trump is. He's mad Sessions hasn't done away with the Russian investigation. He tweets about it all the time. I find it amazing you think he's some genius.

... what?

I don't think it would be very comforting and thus indicative of there being no rift between the two to concoct a plan where he would very publicly throw Sessions under the bus and bully him in this fashion as a mere ploy to give him "an excuse" to quit. Why on earth would Sessions want to agree to this plan of action as opposed to any of a number of other plausible scenarios that would lead one to resign?

If there was a grand plan, Sessions would quietly resign, citing "family issues" or something. A very public lambasting where Trump makes it clear he's only upset with Sessions for his recusal over the Russia probe and that he's not going after Clinton (which he's also recused from btw) is... not a great strategy, politically or legally.

If Sessions were in in this, he would have just agreed to resign in private. The public spectacle doesn't help anything. It's Trump incompetence.

Beyond the Sessions/Mueller angle is the fact that Trump is constantly hiring and firing people. There is almost no stability around except his family. It's been constant going back to the campaign.

Nah. Sanders seems to actually enjoy yelling at press members and running with the fake news agenda. She ain't Spicey, who's life you could see fading away as he tried to explain the dumbest shit.

Also, are almost all of the White House press briefings off camera now? I feel like we just see quotes from press that were there instead of video.
