Sessions to review Obama-era policies on drug-crime sentencing.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is reviewing policy changes set in place by the Obama administration that eliminated harsh punishments for low-level drug crimes and could direct federal prosecutors to again charge drug offenders with crimes carrying the most severe penalties, according to U.S. officials.

The change, if adopted, would overturn a memo by then-Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. that instructed prosecutors to avoid charging low-level defendants with drug offenses that would trigger severe mandatory minimum sentences. Only defendants who met certain criteria, such as not belonging to a large-scale drug trafficking organization, a gang or a cartel, qualified for consideration under Holder’s instructions.

If new charging instructions are implemented, it would mark the first significant move by the Trump administration to bring back the drug war’s toughest practices — methods that had fallen out of favor in recent years as critics pointed to damaging effects of mass incarceration.

Go back to your fucking cookie tree, Sessions.

 

[Slayven]

good thing there isn't a drug epidemic nowadays

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I fully suspect that cocaine, LSD and meth sentencing will transition into a 90 paid rehab program while crack becomes a 15 year sentence on the first offense.

See that is where i think things will be equal. They lip served the ophiod thing, but have done fuck all about it

 

[The Jackdog]

[Verelios]

Fucking A

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Wild dickhead racist Jeff Sessions? That one?

 

[Slacker]

Human trashcan

I prefer "Confederate Monument Jeff Sessions."

 

[PBY]

I prefer "Confederate Monument Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III "

You're right. Added a minor fix to that though.

 

[IamDodongo]

Great job, Trump-supporting millenials.

 

[Host Samurai]

Can we get back to this asshole lying under oath? How old is he? What are thare chances he croaks soon? This miserable pile of shit.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Great lets lock up people buying weed for 20 years. Just fucking brilliant.

His evil sustains him. Only way to end it is to destroy his phylactery.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Human trashcan lol..this is your name now.

[Judderman]

Wild dickhead racist Jeff Sessions? That one?

The one and only elderly baby.

Not even trying to be discreet about it.

 

[The Jazz Cabbage Master]

My reaction to pretty much everything this man does has been

FUCK
JEFF
SESSIONS

Get this pos outta politics before he ruins lives

 

[Angelus Errare]

My only solace is that he's old so hopefully his heart or brain give out soon

 

[SeanC]

He saw too many black people on his way to work one day. Gotta do something about that.

Edit: Reading that not, I'm not saying that all black people are...

....wait, writing myself into a corner here....


Um. Fuck off and go make some fudge you piece of shit. We know your agenda.

 

[Htown]

good thing there isn't a drug epidemic nowadays

oh i'm sure certain unfortunate drug addicts will be fine, while certain evil drug abusers will be locked up in jail where they belong

 

[Dishwalla]

My only solace is that he's old so hopefully his heart or brain give out soon

Both of those are already gone. Though it's debatable he ever had a heart.

 

[Do Better]

Can you buy stock in prisons?

 

[BrutishMrFish]

My only solace is that he's old so hopefully his heart or brain give out soon

My hope is that he'll shit himself in a public setting with at least one black person nearby to stare into his eyes as he passes.

 

[Ithil]

Can you buy stock in prisons?

If they're private prisons, sure.
Oh look, private prisons donated heavily to Sessions.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

good thing there isn't a drug epidemic nowadays

Not even white people dying gets their sympathy. Filthy poor and addicts. Makes for a moral superiority.

Only wealth does.

 

[TylerD]

Can you buy stock in prisons?

Absolutely. Private prison companies. I'm not going to post any symbols because it's fucking disgusting.

 

[Aureon]

Can you buy stock in prisons?

Actually, yes.
(CoreCivic, the biggest private prison corp)

The drop is obama announcing he'd be phasing them off altogether. The surge is Trump winning the election.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Ugh

I think I about hate Sessions more than Trump

I mean if Sessions was drowning I would probably think twice about saving that piece of shit.

Spoiler

Sorry not sorry? I know it sounds cruel but I really hate the guy

 

[bggrthnjsus]

are u kidding i'd hold his head under to speed him up

 

[thelatestmodel]

Because the war on drugs has been so successful at getting rid of drugs.

 

[I H8 Memes]

See that is where i think things will be equal. They lip served the ophiod thing, but have done fuck all about it

They put Chris Christie on it. But all I've seen him do since then was campaign against marijuana in New Jersey.

 

[Psychoward]

I bet those R voters in those deep red states sure are glad their states don't have any problems with drugs.

 

[Jawbreaker]

He'd go full Duterte if he had the chance.

 

[Mr. X]

My only solace is that he's old so hopefully his heart or brain give out soon

He's had neither for about 40-50 years now.

 

[TylerD]

Actually, yes.

Point of clarification. Obama announced that private prisons for federal use would be phasing out.

 

[2Smashed4U]

I hope his death is literal torture.

 

[Akuun]

Actually, yes.

Christ, that's disgusting.

 

[Jombie]

Jeff Sessions, keeping us safe (from black non violent offenders).

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Trump flat out told everyone this was happening throughout the election.

Law and Order

Stop and Frisk

Jeff Sessions

 

[Not]

A great way to combat abject racists in power like this if you're a white person: reproduce with a lot of nonwhite people, so eventually white people are like "AAAAA this is genocide akin to systematic capture and murder of human beings on a mass scale" but they're so few in number that no one can actually hear them

 

[R10Neymarfan]

I wonder what those bernie bros and jill stein tards think now when their friends will get years in jail for having a bag of weed. They enabled this and I hope to goodness they will be affected from more than just their home couch so they can stop this free speech and "well Hillary would do the same" bull shit before they admit that they made a big mistake

 

[mreddie]

We are reliving that 80s nostalgia tenfold. Even posession with a little bag of weed will once again result in years of jail.

Fuck you Jeff.

 

[KraytarJ]

Human might be a bit much tbh.

Stop giving them ideas!

Btw, anyone think it's a good time to invest in Wal-Mart?

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

This is one of more than a few reasons why Clinton supporters were doing what they could to educate Bernie or busters about their misconceptions.

 

[Not]

Also talking to fellow white people: watch the documentary 13th. They're not going after drugs; they're going after people they don't like, such as but not limited to:

-Folks with new ideas that contradict their old ideas
-People who can handle exposure to sunlight much better than them

They saw the Venn Diagram of the people above with recreational drug users and went, "sayyyyy..."

It's a fun little loophole in the constitution and subsequent amendments.

 

[Omegasquash]

Opioid Epidemic: "These people need our help. These are people that turned to drugs when they didn't have the opportunity to work, and the anxiety drove them to make decisions. We need programs to help these folks in middle America recover, and give them back the opportunity to be successful that Obama took away."

Weed: "These people are supporting drug lords and criminals, and they need to be put away."

Crack: "Just shoot them and save the American public the money."


Fucked up part is that I'm not predicting the future. Just looking at the past and present. the third is admittedly hyperbole, but it ain't too big a logical leap.

 

[faisal233]

Jeff Sessions deserves our empathy for having such misguided view, nothing but unquestioned empathy.

 

[entremet]

Disgusting man.
