Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, The Donald’s nominee for Attorney General, is known for some pretty Neanderthal positions on civil liberties issues, but none are quite as knuckle-dragging as his creaky, shopworn, 1980s “Just Say No Club” position on marijuana. This, despite at least half the states in the country having some form of decriminalization or legalization for medical and recreational use.

Like MacArthur, they said they’d return, and they did. As advertised, the “Russell Building Posse” paid a repeat visit to the office of Senator and AG nominee Jeff Sessions to “show’n'tell” his media director the plant and people he railed against with his “good people” remarks about marijuana.

“Good people don’t smoke marijuana.”
– Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-AL, Trump AG nominee
So, roughly speaking, that’d be maybe 60 million people in at least half the states in the country that voted for the decriminalization or legalization of cannabis for recreational and/or medical use? Wow, that’s a whole lot of bad people.
From the latest at dcmj.org:
Donald Trump has tapped one of the biggest prohibitionists in Congress to be the Attorney General of the United States: Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions. Earlier this year the Alabama Senator said “good people don’t smoke marijuana,” and while we don’t know yet if he’ll respect states rights (or DC’s rights since we are not a state) or if he’ll do what John Ashcroft did as George W. Bush’s Attorney General: raid lawful cannabis grows, raid lawful dispensaries, and even go so far as crack down on paraphernalia vendors. Let’s not forget why Tommy Chong went to jail and why history may repeat itself if we don’t act NOW!

After running the most piss-poor campaign ever with the most godawful candidate ever and saddling us with a fascist real-estate huckster, what do the Democrats and Liberal America respond with? A suggestion that we wear safety pins as a sign of “resistance” and solidarity with the Muslims who will be persecuted and the immigrants about to be deported en masse. That’s it. That’s all they’ve got for us.
So, it’s looking like the safety pin is about to replace the AIDS Awareness Ribbon as the go-to empty gesture for milquetoast Liberals and Hollywood asshats.
I’m serious. Just you wait. I’ll lay you better than even money that on Oscar Night next year, the red carpet will be infested with showbiz doorknobs wearing 24k gold safety pins on their tuxedoes and gowns.
