Literally every step they've made towards decriminalization at the federal level has been with the Dems and every step backwards has been at the hands of the Republicans. And every state that has failed to legalize was carried by Trump other than Virginia.weed is gonna legalize whenever the weed lobby has enough money to make it happen. It doesn’t matter what party is in power.
And you somehow think this helps your case....The Republicans are trying to gut the legacy federal prison system completely in favor of private prisons. It’s no different than the charter school push, it’s ideological.
That’s why the Federal Bureau of Prisons has been struggling during the Trump administration
Prison break: As the Trump administration touts prison reform as a victory, the Federal Bureau of Prisons struggles
If you think Trump gives a fukk about ideological questions over government efficiency then you're blind as fukk. If he wanted to downsize federal prisons he could have adapted the much stronger bill the Dems put forth, instead he just compromised on ONE "first step" and then dropped the whole shyt because his only goal was to try to slice off a few Black votes, and when that didn't happen he let the effort die.Trump was serious about prison reform, but it wasn’t an act of charity, it was with the intent of downsizing the federal prison bureaucracy because the right in the USA believe privately ran alternatives are more cost-efficient.
Scoop: Trump regrets following Jared Kushner's advice on prison reform
Again, every one of these is an actual policy announcement by the Trump Administration:
* Instructed federal prosecutors to pursue the charges that carry the longest possible sentence in drug cases
* Urged states to go after marijuana users and even scrap protections for medical marijuana.
* Expanded the offenses that count as "violent felonies" under three-strikes laws.
* Increased the use of asset forfeiture
* Encouraged officers to rough up suspects already in custody
* Diverted resources away from the DOJ's civil rights division to instead use to fight against Affirmative Action policies in college
* Took back Obama's order that had blocked the transfer of military equipment to local police
* Closed down a federal effort to reform police departments after officer-involved shootings
* Rescinded a Obama letter to courts that advised them to be careful in imposing overly stiff fees and penalties on poor defendants.
* Rescinded an Obama-era memo ordering non-interference with marijuana crimes in pot-legal states
* Diverted DOJ resources to increase the presence of police officers on school campuses
* Blocked multiple Democrat-sponsored sentencing reform bills only to pass a weak-ass limited version in their place
* Reversed the order reducing the use of private prisons that had been announced by the Obama Administration.
* Lifted all federal consent degrees used to monitor police departments that had been guilty of violations of civil rights
* Refused to prosecute a single new civil rights case against a police department since he came into power
I'm pretty sure you can't read, that entire paragraph is nonsensical and has nothing to do with what I said.I only bring up state prisons because your dumbass seems to be against both privately ran prisons and government ran federal prisons, oh wait you’re against “Republican-backed federal prisons” like what political party has the White House affects the conditions in federal prison. Who told you that dumbass shyt? And you believed it?
