WASHINGTON — The Justice Department wants low-level drug criminals who were sentenced under tough laws from the days of the crack epidemic to ask the president for early release from prison.

In an unprecedented move, Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole asked defense lawyers on Thursday to help the government locate prisoners and encourage them to apply for clemency.

In the Land of Sanity...which now remains only as a distant memory..the borders would be close to impenetrable.

When they are selling dope on our streets, Obupkus will count them as employed. That would bring the unemployment roles down somewhat.

We are being led by islamoNazi enemy agents, buffoons, traitors, crooks, thieves, ignoramuses, sell- outs, suck- ups, idiots, sexual predators, moral basket cases, sociopaths, direct agents of Satan, and the certifiably Insane. The new progressive governing coalition in Obama’s “ transformed AmerikaSSR.” Pray.

Come to think of it how many accomplished incarcerated jihadists are going to be set free....by accident...

None. Not a single one. Why? Because they will be released deliberately and with malicious intent.

Glad u like. The interesting thing to ask is WHY are we being led by such an ugly assortment of the worst American (and Kenyan and Indonesian) society can produce ? “Shit rises to the top of the tank” is pertinent but doesn’t quite explain the problem. Ideally, we’d like our country to be led by its very best. The exact opposite of the current situation. What have we done wrong to reach this nadir in American politics?

The Moral Structure of American Society has been polluted to the point of being severely damaged.

The raw sewage crept in through the breach.
