My thoughts on this news
Do my eyes and ears deceive me, are the Democrats actually doing what the majority of Americans want....? Well it is about time, this is a good first step but we need more. The war on drugs has been a failure for the last 40+ years. We need to legalize all drugs and they need to be taxed and regulated just like tobacco and alcohol. Too many Americans are in jail for minor drug crimes and the American tax payers pay too much money to keep fighting a pointless war that will never end. By legalizing all drugs the US government would bankrupt every single drug cartel in a single day.
When the people wake up and shout at politicians the politicians have to listen, Trump's corruption has woken up sleeping Americans, everyone needs to vote to change this corrupt system and stop electing politicians who are bribed by corporate interests...
