Another popcorn moment as the Trump administration gets ready to step on its . Again.
-------------------------------------------
Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III (vomit!) is on track to make himself even more hated by good decent American folks by doing away with Barack Obama’s policy that allowed states to regulate the sale and use of marijuana with minimal federal interference. Sessions’s new policy will leave decisions on marijuana enforcement up to US attorneys’ offices, which of course will all be staffed with Trump appointees. We guess Sessions drew the short straw for Distract Everybody From Bannon News today.
The move — which Sessions has been telegraphing for months — comes just days after the sale of recreational weed became legal in California, where legal pot shops started opening Monday. And in states that have legalized pot sales, cannabis taxes have been a huge source of new revenue. Purely coincidental, we’re sure.
During the campaign, Donald Trump had said that the question of legal weed should be up to states to decide, as he said in this clip from an interview with a Colorado Teevee station:

Buzzfeed did a quick rundown of the stupidity that is about to ensue, with the emphasis on the last syllable there:

1. Trump can’t bust all the legal pot businesses because there are way too many already.
2. If Trump were to even threaten pot businesses, he would still end up in brutal court battles.
3. Even if Trump only makes a few busts, the states will get involved and fight Trump, too.
4. Trying to overturn state legalization laws themselves would be difficult and time-consuming — and could still fail.
5. Fighting long legal battles would be unpopular for Trump, and it would grow more toxic by the day.
6. Trump could never stop people from using and growing pot with impunity, even if he won in court.

Cory Gardner (Senator, R, Colo) is PISSED. Sessions promised he wouldn't do anything about it when he was questioned during his confirmation hearings.
Gardner gonna get his ass unelected over it, and he knows it.
those prisons aren't going to fill up themselves. gotta keep these weedheads off the streets.
ing idiotic move by Sessions.
ing idiotic to install him as AG in the first place, but par for the course with an administration that treats qualifications with the same disregard it treats truth.
Meh. Most of the stuff they’ve done I agree with. They do idiotic stuff too but what ya gonna do?
ROFL... is that a joke account?
Please tell me that is not.
(EDIT)
Totes real. That is awesome.

eyup. Par for the course from this administration though. No regards to evidence-based policies or care about what people think. Obamacare *100
This will turn purple Colorado blue. If they really go through with it, it will be yet another good thing for Democrats to paint Republicans as out of touch with.
its not like Sessions' at ude towards marijuana was a secret before his appointment to AG
boneheaded policy from boneheaded policymakers
Trump wanted someone tough on (black) crime.
Trying to get himself fired.
Wow who could have ever seen this coming when fascist Trump got elected?
I forgot how transparent the Obama yrs were... liars from the get go. Hope & change lmao! Hope to destroy and change this nation for the worse.
Very right down the middle comment from someone who's totally independent and has no bias at all.
