You may wanna have a look at the rates

I am no fan of the Clinton's, I liked many of Bill's policies, his three strikes law was one I hated deeply. It was Clinton's method of reaching his olive branch to the right, by showing that though he's a Democrat, he would be hard on crime.

It was a terrible decision that has ruined hundreds of thousands of lives. Yes, I remember Hillary calling us "Super Predators" as well. Old news. It's irrelevant, she lost. I still stand by the fact that she would've been better than this buffoon.

To her credit, she did run on the stance of continuing Obama's polices of raking back the war on drugs, which may show to me, she changed her stance. Albeit, she never became President, so I will take her word on this. What I do know is your hero decided to do the complete opposite, and appoint Jeff Sessions, someone who I may add just recently informed his prosecutors to pursue the "death penalty" for some drug related offences.

I highly doubt this would be a policy of stance of the Clinton (Hilary) Administration.
Sorry. My bad. I thought this was the hypocrite thread

The donation amount was 30k USD. I'm sure if the Democrats knew that Trump would have won, they would have elected Bernie. Pre-election results, a lot of people thought Trump was a joke and I'm sure Hillary got the nomination because she's in a lot of peoples pockets. Just not as deep as Trump is. LOL.

For some it's a slippery slope. For me, I don't like drinking, but that's a choice and there isn't a craving for me to drink.

My point was that never drinking or smoking anything in life is kind of unrealistic.

I wonder how many people actually believe that.
Curious how much her and her husbands "speeches" are worth now that she's a civilian.

I recall a Clinton dinner was like $250 a plate, but this was years ago.

LOL, way off topic though. This is supposed to be about legalization of weed and crooked politicians.

You know where I stand without any discussion but I am allowing my prejudice to cloud reasoning? I love irony. Hypocrites not so much.
