The truth emerges. Oil tanker seized outside Venezuela.

OK. In the last 40 years, which of your Bill of Rights rights have been trampled on because of the war on drugs?

Breonna Taylor is dead because cops lied to get a warrant despite having NO evidence she had anything to do with drugs

 

[Rawley]

I guess you've never heard of warrantless searches, increasing mass surveillance, and I could list all sorts of other moves toward authoritarianism in general...not just limited to the phony "war on drugs" but related to any of their phony pretexts.

Just the fact that you asked that question tells me a lot about you. But you're not alone, that misguided bootlicker mindset is very common here at USMB.

Wow. Thanks for explaining that. Don't mind me as I slowly back away.

You're buying into Ms. Buttercup's "authoritarian technocratic police state" due to the "war on drugs?" Some cops have been lying since there have been cops. Nothing special about the last 40 years?

I would never argue that cops needed a war on drugs to violate our rights but it was asked how they used it to violate rights.

Yeah, once again you show your ignorance and naivety more and more with every post. Yes, please do go away, I prefer talking to people who aren't as asleep and bootlicking as you... and who have at least some discernment regarding the times we're living in.

Okay, for the slow kids:

Trump is surrounded by corporate executives who are using him.

These corporate executives want access to the oil in the ground in Venezuela. More to the point, the RIGHTS to that oil, should they find it profitable to pull it out of the ground later.

Maduro is not giving them that access.

So Maduro must go. So Trump and his collection of morons and criminals are trying very hard to goad Maduro into giving cause for military action in Venezuela.

Now you're all caught up.

QED. As you said, we've never posted before and yet you lead off 4 out of your 6 posts to me with ad hom personal insults.

That tells me you have no respect for other posters and are not interested in anything closely resembling an honest discussion.

Have a blessed life.

Take the log out of your own eye. You just finished doing a blatant ad hom in response to my earlier post, which stated demonstrably true facts. But whatever. I don't want to argue with you, so... have a blessed rest of your night.

Expect a false flag any day now. It’s been done many times before and many dumb Americans will support yet another war of choice to benefit a small cabal of criminals.

 

[georgephillip]

Good point. From THEIR perspective, I guess the "war on drugs" has been a success, since the goal isn't really about getting people off drugs, but power grabs and moving us in the direction of an authoritarian technocracy.

The war on drugs is also making a lot of money for investors in the prison industrial complex:

The United States has the world’s largest private prison population – The Sentencing Project

"The United States has the world’s largest private prison population.

"Of the 1.5 million people in state and federal prisons in 2016, 8.5 percent, or 128,063, were incarcerated in private prisons.1

"Another 26,249 people -73 percent of all people in immigration detention- were confined in privately-run facilities on a daily basis during fiscal year 2017."

Where is this witness?

 

[gipper]

Boy, they sure are slow in implementing this "authoritarian technocratic police state." The "war on drugs" has been going on, what, 40 years now?

lol. You’ve admitted you’re unaware of the heinous results imposed on all Americans as a result of the war on drugs. You might get informed before posting.

Let’s say you’re right, 40 years of the war on drugs and we’re still fighting. That should tell you something about the government’s intentions.

 

[Mac-7]

I wasn't talking about immigration... in that post I was talking about foreign policy. But anyway, there are a small number of people in government that I like (Massie is one of them) but unfortunately I no longer believe that an honest, decent, true patriot can ever make it to the highest office in the land.... because it is my view that one has to be "in the club" to get there in the first place.

Trump was not in the club

Extreme leftwingers among democrats and blue nose repubs such as romney and the bush family were outraged when trump busted their monopoly on power

So, did FBI officials violate rights when they lied to the FISA court?

 

[Care4all]

Yes. And they were reprimanded for it.

 

[j-mac]

Yes. And they were reprimanded for it.

Oh, I see...So, they got told, ' Now boys, don't do that anymore', and it's all ok...But, I'm sure you'd expect more to happen if it were a Trump administration....Double standard much?
