    Nope.

    "Attorney General Eric Holder was not criticised, as no evidence was found he knew about the controversial tactics."

    Yeah, if you consider throwing chicken wing bones at a homeless man "something."

    Again: nope. Sessions was asked multiple questions in regards to Russia, that was just one. This is the question/response he's under fire for.



    "I did not have communications with the Russians." That's a lie. He lied under oath.

    Curing AIDS and Autism would make him gain my respect tbh.

    Cancer is something that evolving science will find a way to eliminate. Autism and AIDS are something that requires brainpower.

    Jeff Sessions thinks legalizing pot leads to increase in violent crimes. Imagine actually thinking that's true.

    Donald Trump has given military commanders the authority to launch military strikes without White House approval. Basically surrending his powers as commander-in-chief. @blair whatever process you were referring to, I'm guessing it's not the same anymore.

    What about this raid in Yemen? Please tell me about the approval process. You have such a strong opinion about how Trump handled it, you must know a lot about it.

    I have a strong opinion about it due to reports coming out of the government. From military officials claiming trump sent in our special forces with insufficient intelligence and no back up to conflicting goals (White House claiming it was an intelligence grab/reports claiming it was a raid to capture or k--- a terrorist leader who got away) etc. That's not to mention dozens of civilians were killed along with a navy seal and intelligence officials aren't certain the intelligence obtained is even valuable.

    I never claimed to be some expert in the approval process for spec op missions (I doubt you are either but I'm curious). I'm just reiterating what's being reported and reacting to it. Now please, go ahead and elaborate on this process you've been talking about for your last several posts.

    Legalising pot may not increase violence but it will definitely not benefit people that have addictive personalities and the urge to move to harder drugs. Alcohol is a killer but it's watered down (excuse the pun) by it being legal. Making things legal removes fear and creates an acceptance without the worry of consequences.

    This is totally wrong. People with addictive traits can get addicted to anything, chocolate even. Marijuana as a substance itself, is not addictive. In fact, marijuana has been used to help people get off harder drugs by replacing them. The U.S. has experimented with banning "bad substances" (prohibition) and it didn't work at all. It set up a black market for alcohol and allowed organize crime to thrive (remember al capone? He made hundreds of thousands selling alcohol on the black market in the 20's).

    In other news: Donald Trump accused president Obama for wiretapping his phone when in office. He provided no evidence to support his claim (shocker) and not even officials in his administration are defending the accusation or know where he got it from. Trump has also demanded that congress investigate whether the Obama administration did in fact wiretap his phone.

    The funny part about this is that either way, Trump looks like a dumb a--- lol. A president cannot order for private citizen to be wiretapped, they need authorization from a federal judge meaning there has to be probable cause that the suspect did something wrong lol. So either Trump is lying out of his a--- (likely) or he just declassified an on going investigation to the American public lol.

    You can't treat an alcoholic with alcohol in small doses, it's recommended that you completely withdraw from taking any alcohol like the example you made about treating drug addiction with a less addictive or dangerous drug. Organised crime is still very active so with that philosophy perhaps you would like drugs like cocaine and crystal m--- to become legal because that would make things better and cut down organised crime even more.
