“just to fiction at a minimal level.”

Just to *function* at a minimal level. (I haven’t had any today, and I’m going to blame the pain in my hands for missing that auto-correct.)

If it helps him keep up his alliance with Kanye and she was a legitimate candidate for a pardon, I say more power to him.

This was a good thing. Life for a first timer is a bit much. As we sit here free and blog about what ought to be, a person is in jail for life for less than some MS 13 gets. 10 years with no parole would have given enough time to think it over, let alone life.

There will be some blacks that will notice they have a job after 10 years of welfare, and this woman gets a break, and a few other things which might make them think about their hatred of Trump. Trump looks to them as a bigot because "law and order" means most blacks will be affected. They can't seem to get that their neighborhoods and families are most affected by crime.

I'm waiting for Trump to have one of his rallies in Detroit after more auto plants turn on the lights. He might find an opportunity to remind them of what they have to lose. That would hurt the Dems for 20 years if they will just vote 50-50. I think a majority of women are sliding towards pro-life, and Hispanic AMERICANS are figuring out that the pickup with a load of illegals dropped off at the job site means a cut in pay or replacement of their job.

There is just so long you can remain stupid before you notice socialist lie and it doesn't work. For the life of me, I don't understand the media not having nightly stories with film and interviews in Venezuela. When I was growing up, filming in stores of the USSR with bare shelves and interviews with people waiting weeks to get meat or toilet paper was an eye opener for my generation. Just watching Cubans getting 5 lbs of rice and 5 lbs of beans every week from the government showed the utopian lies. They couldn't butcher their cow because the government would know and they had no tractors to pull the plows. The government knew how many chickens they had and goats and such, and expected a certain production of eggs and milk. The black market was the only way to get forbidden products and that usually meant prison sooner or later. If what you produce belongs to the government, you are stealing from them if you eat your own chicken that you raised.

Stories from N. Korea escapees is the same. Some hadn't tasted meat in 10 years.

If blacks in Detroit have seen the worst of the worst for most of their life, surely they will notice when trucks move from Mexico back to Detroit. It's not an accident.

Based on what I know of the case, this seems reasonable. I think the justice system has been missing common sense for generations.

Now now, don’t play it up that much.
Just because it acts like the creeping sludge of death when being imbibed doesn’t mean it is an altered mental state.
The stuff really is that bad.

I know that is the case. My mother was on morphine patches her las months.

It’s as much a prescribing issue as it is a sales/marketing and production issue.

The main point, people are becoming addicted legally.

Freepers, the first liberal you hear say, “Trump is doing this as a curried favor to blacks, it is a fake act”...

Then say to them, “really? Then Obama leaving this black woman in prison was, REAL”

No you didn’t mishear. She’s black, a grandmother, been a ‘model’ Federal Prisoner. Kim K pleaded for the pardon.

I sent ANGRY TWEETS over this. I am DENIED PAIN RELIEF while this Multi-million $$ ILLEGAL DRUG QUEEN GOES FREE, how many kids OD’d, committed crimes because they were HOOKED on her drugs, how many victims of those crimes died? This was not a NON VIOLENT crime. EVERY DRUG DEALER COMMITS A VIOLENT CRIME WITH THEIR ILLEGAL DRUGS EVEN IF THEY DIDN’T DO THE CRIME, their ILLEGAL DRUGS CAUSED!
