Perhaps solve the disease instead of throwing trillions at the symptom. Yeah, that "peace in the Middle East" thing is a testy, persistent problem. Oh, wait, ... you were talking "the war on drugs". Nevermind. Endless wars.

There was evidence that Schiff knew existed but it's his fault that the Senate was the one who withheld the evidence that he couldn't present to prove collusion existed so then Schiff was at fault and that's the way it is now that the Senate report proved collusion. Yeah. Uh huh. supposedly knew existed....he kept saying it, and when asked to present it...crickets

Yeah. Uh huh. The Senate Report did not prove or even assert collusion lol. He said he had evidence. He didn't say "the senate is withholding evidence from me." This isn't particularly complicated. 3 minutes ago, Hayduke1 said: Now that it is proven, what do we hear from the cult? Crickets. What was proven? 1

What blood test do you use to confirm that the driver was actually under the influence of marijuana before you put him/her to death? If the driver's positive blood test was from last week's marijuana use, putting him/her to death might be a bit Draconian no matter how tragic the car wreck was. 1

Tell that to the dead person killed by a pot user behind the wheel. (Golly, that "what about the children" type reply is actually kinda fun. ) I've said it before: Here's how you get away with murder in America --> Be seen in a bar 'consuming' (but pouring them in a plant); then, go drive over your victim; then, slosh down a fifth of whatever beverage it was you were pretending to drink at the bar and then hit a curb/pole/tree. Cops show up and you're blackout drunk. The worst you'll come away with is vehicular manslaughter (and that's if you have a bad lawyer).

Right, but would other irresponsible drivers be held to the same standard? How about some ***hole joyriding going 50 miles over and kills someone? A driver who falls asleep at the wheel because he chooses to drive home after a 16 hour shift? Someone who drives a car not fit for the road? Gross negligence comes in many forms.

Have you actually tried weed? Equating it with alcohol suggests you haven't. Driving stoned isn't anything like driving drunk. 2 1
