Political Memes

Shut the border down to all Americans until they can control their criminals. They arent sending their best.

They've made a business out of selling panic and fear to the masses. Betraying their own people for money. Never trust a conservative politician or business person.

Also the "tremendous amounts" of fentanyl coming in from Canada last year came to about 250 lbs.

He thinks speaking diminutively to people automatically puts him in a position of power over them

It's an insecurity issue common with bullying

He has been for a while now, which is actually a violation of the US' nato obligations. But who care anymore, the US is no longer an ally.

Edit: it also violates a ton of border treaties, and half a doze international agreements the US has benefited from for a long time. But just with NATO:

Key points of the treaty

• The parties agree to settle disputes peacefully
• The parties agree to refrain from using force in a way that goes against the United Nations' goals
• The parties agree to consider an attack on one of them as an attack on all of them
• The parties agree to consult about threats and defense matters
• The parties agree to safeguard the freedom, common heritage, and civilization of their peoples
• The parties agree to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area

Threatening Canada violates all of these and then some.

Trudeau should call him Mayor, or even better, "Convicted Rapist and Felon".

Both, he honestly believes that he will take Canada and Trudeau will be demoted to a governor somehow.

Canada at least has a "Governor-General" who is appointed by the British monarch.

Edit: like several other commonwealth states, Canada is a completely separate country from the United Kingdom. It just happens, by law, that King Charles III is the king of all of them.

Carpet bomb them with inaccuracies and they'll spend too much time correcting you to keep up.

It's the new "we'll build a wall, and mexico will pay for it" - a clause so dumb that people will complain about that, unknowingly tugging "normalcy" a step in that direction.

I'm sure that's been intentional.

Decriminalised use/possession, for sure.

But I always think the libertarian "just legalise all the drugs" is just odd.

Regulated? So you mean preventing people from taking really stupid shit? Sounds great sign me up lol

People gotta accept there are trade-offs to living in a society, and one of those is that there's a limit to which we allow each other to get high. Because there are some drugs that make people aggressive, and I personally think these ought to be curtailed where possible. (Again, not a "war on drugs" style curtailment. But distribution, still illegal and criminal)

You wanna take shit like meth? Cool, go out to the woods and never use socialised medicine where workers are at risk from people on such drugs, or just randoms walking down the street.

I don't think taking hard drugs should put you in prison, or even give you a criminal record, but actually legalising the distribution? Nah. Go live in the woods/hills away from everyone else.

holy shit I can't believe I'm agreeing with a .ml user about something

Yea, there are so many other guys, that he pardoned, which are way worse..

A broken clock is right twice a day.

Evidence was tainted/fabricated by a crooked cop and Ulbricht was never convicted of it.

All research and successful drug policy shows that treatment should be increased and law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences

This isn't true, there was no category for buying human beings. I don't even think hitmen were allowed to offer their services.

Military equipment and stolen goods, absolutely. Hacked accounts, too. But any ad he found was either promptly removed or was never on The Silk Road to begin with.

Other non-drug markets did exist at the time but I never went on them so I can't confirm if they were selling slaves.

False, no human trafficking, cp, or hitmen services were allowed and were promptly removed, except when Ross him self tried to buy one. Obviously people attempted to hide their sales, just like they do in the clearnet, but the site had a policy against many things.
