Death penalty for Drug dealers who agrees?

[Dlbiininja]

This is becoming a recurring statement from Trump who has shown admiration to Duerte, Putin, & Kim jung-un. 😒😒😒 

It sounds simple at first.  But, when you consider  the flaws & errors of the judicial system.  It will fail. My first thoughts were, "So, when will the executions of ceos of big pharma past & present & politicians commence?  Let's not leave out the Docs that over prescribed to get their kickbacks.  And let's make sure this is equally applied to the wealthy also.  Judicial equality for all no planted or falsified claims."  We know that cops can & will lie to get the arrests which has helped lead to the creation of things like the innocenceproject.
     We know that the war on drugs was a colossal failure.  Will & would the threat of executions stop or hinder the opioid issue? Which Trump addressed earlier.  And if I recall correctly.  The death penalty doesn't deter crime.

Do you think anyone would argue that is would be a good idea?

Letters will say he supports it just because he knows it will get him the reaction he wants.

Maybe Jelly, too.

You definitely agree with it, what with your KKK background.

By "drug dealers", Trump clearly just means poor and/or black people who work at the street level to sell drugs to other poor and/or black people.

Of course, the fact that a lot of people like pharmaceutical company CEOs and other rich people are responsible for a lot more harm than those types, he's completely oblivious to. For that matter, how about the death penalty for artificially increasing the cost of life-preserving drugs? Let Martin Shkreli hang; I'm sure Trump would at least get a small ratings bump for that.

Oh, I love that you just did that to me in this forum. Warning issued.

Back in school, there  were some Singaporean exchange students. Somehow drugs came up and I mentioned that they must never have tried any weed before, let alone hard drugs, since Singapore had the death penalty for so many drug crimes. They told me that I was wrong, and that at parties, drug use, at least weed, was quite common. I asked them if they were ever afraid of getting caught, and they said they weren't, since cops didn't really target those types of parties, but getting caught with drugs was a possibility.

Can you imagine the paranoid high you'd get lighting up in Singapore? Jesus fucking Christ I'd be in the loony bin by the third hit.

This is the key point. It was summed up briefly, but efficiently, here as well.

As said near the end "This isn't the street dealer, it's the Wall Street dealer......."

But of course Trump and most Republican politicians could not care less about actually solving the opioid crisis. Not when they are drunk on campaign cash provided by the pharmaceutical industry. And not when Trump can use this as another dog whistle to his racist supporters against black, brown, and poor people.

Who knew sessions might be one of the saner ones

ROFLMAO!  Seems he even said for abusers to receive the death penalty as well. I'll try to find that link.
