so trump literally recorded a video of him yelling at 'the press' which was played in todays press briefing.
punch line: he was sitting 50 feet away in the oval office when he recorded it and when it was played.
because he cant be trusted to take questions.
because he has dementia.

How is "nice" involved in any of this? It's about influence. By telling Pakistan to fuck off, we lost influence over that country and the region. Then China swooped in and gained influence, as predicted. It's the exact opposite of what Trump claimed he was going to accomplish.
I'm not just talking about imperialist control type influence, I also mean the influence to improve Pakistan- so fewer unemployed young men turn to Islamism.
Nobody is mentioning how Obama cut most of Pakistan's aid in 2010 over human rights abuses. You give them a punishment with a clearly defined path of improvement, which will then end the punishment. Anyone who has raised kids should be familiar with the concept.
MAGA!!
Pretty amazing how Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises between defeating ISIS and the booming economy
Ship it crucial
thats some mighty fine posting, heeb.

Sessions begins his war on pot
https://nypost.com/2018/01/04/sessio...is-war-on-pot/
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Jeff Sessions is rescinding the Obama-era policy that had paved the way for legalized marijuana to flourish in states across the country, two people with knowledge of the decision told the Associated Press. Sessions will instead let federal prosecutors where pot is legal decide how aggressively to enforce federal marijuana law, the people said.
The people familiar with the plan spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it before an announcement expected Thursday.
The move by President Donald Trump’s attorney general likely will add to confusion about whether it’s OK to grow, buy or use marijuana in states where pot is legal, since long-standing federal law prohibits it. It comes days after pot shops opened in California, launching what is expected to become the world’s largest market for legal recreational marijuana and as polls show a solid majority of Americans believe the drug should be legal.
While Sessions has been carrying out a Justice Department agenda that follows Trump’s top priorities on such issues as immigration and opioids, the changes to pot policy reflect his own concerns. Trump’s personal views on marijuana remain largely unknown.
Sessions, who has assailed marijuana as comparable to heroin and has blamed it for spikes in violence, had been expected to ramp up enforcement. Pot advocates argue that legalizing the drug eliminates the need for a black market and would likely reduce violence, since criminals would no longer control the marijuana trade.
The Obama administration in 2013 announced it would not stand in the way of states that legalize marijuana, so long as officials acted to keep it from migrating to places where it remained outlawed and out of the hands of criminal gangs and children. Sessions is rescinding that memo, written by then-Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole, which had cleared up some of the uncertainty about how the federal government would respond as states began allowing sales for recreational and medical purposes.
The pot business has since become a sophisticated, multimillion-dollar industry that helps fund schools, educational programs and law enforcement. Eight states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for recreational use, and California’s sales alone are projected to bring in $1 billion annually in tax revenue within several years.
Sessions’ policy will let US attorneys across the country decide what kinds of federal resources to devote to marijuana enforcement based on what they see as priorities in their districts, the people familiar with the decision said.
"There is no more safe haven with regard to the federal government and marijuana, but it’s also the beginning of the story and not the end,” said Kevin Sabet, president and CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, who was among several anti-marijuana advocates who met with Sessions last month. “This is a victory. It’s going to dry up a lot of the institutional investment that has gone toward marijuana in the last five years.”
Threats of a federal crackdown have united liberals who object to the human costs of a war on pot with conservatives who see it as a states’ rights issue. Some in law enforcement support a tougher approach, but a bipartisan group of senators in March urged Sessions to uphold existing marijuana policy. Others in Congress have been seeking ways to protect and promote legal pot businesses.
A task force Sessions convened to study pot policy made no recommendations for upending the legal industry but instead encouraged Justice Department officials to keep reviewing the Obama administration’s more hands-off approach to marijuana enforcement, something Sessions promised to do since he took office.
The change also reflects yet another way in which Sessions, who served as a federal prosecutor at the height of the drug war in Mobile, Alabama, has reversed Obama-era criminal justice policies that aimed to ease overcrowding in federal prisons and contributed to a rethinking of how drug criminals were prosecuted and sentenced. While his Democratic predecessor Eric Holder told federal prosecutors to avoid seeking long mandatory minimum sentences when charging certain lower-level drug offenders, for example, Sessions issued an order demanding the opposite, telling them to pursue the most serious charges possible against most suspects.
Vegas1369 is so fucked.
He will get life in prison for owning a pot farm.
According to Scott Adams, Jeff Sessions just paved the way for legal marijuana in every state that wants it.

It didnt just not work, it pushed up Wolff's publication date by a full week.

Reuter's legal analysts took a good look at the 'lawsuit' and said its absolute garbage, and will likely do nothing but erode whatever leverage the NDA's Trump insisted his staff sign still had (because he thought this was a reality tv show) by putting their testimony in play.
