Beto O’Rourke is all in on reparations for marijuana offenders — 31 Comments

  1. “Provide a monthly “Drug War Justice Grant” to those formerly incarcerated for nonviolent marijuana offenses in state and federal prison for a period based on time served. The grants will be funded completely by the tax on the marijuana industry. ”
    How about a justice grant to people like Bernie Madoff who were incarcerated for nonviolent financial offenses?

  2. I’m sure that Beto is also a big supporter of leniency towards DWI offenders. After all, that is the treatment he got from his DWI offense. Not everyone has a Daddy for a judge, like Beto did, to help smooth things out. Beto wants everyone to have that advantage- but NOT if you happen to own a gun he doesn’t like.

  3. I think what Beto has been telling us is that the business he supposedly founded is his wife’s and that any work he did in it was taking instruction from her.

  4. Beto is one of the doomed test pilots in The Right Stuff. “I’ve tried A, I’ve tried B, I’ve tried C…”

  5. Robert Francis O’Rouke seems more than a bit strange to me. Filming a visit to have his teeth cleaned, filming his skateboarding adventures, and I’m guessing that he will soon produce a montage of artful shots of him blowing his nose.

    Also perhaps totally clueless how his policy ‘ideas’ are non-starts from the moment he shows them off on the national stage. But then all of the candidates come across just as clueless as they rush to virtue signal that they are the most leftist one of all.

  6. I just don’t think there that many votes to be gotten from those serving sentences for violating the drug laws. But who knows?

  7. How about Drug War Reparations to families of people who: were killed in the drug cartel gang shoot-outs; died from drug overdoses or adulterated drugs; were killed by drug addicts who burglarized their homes or mugged them to feed their habit.

  8. I don’t think Beto and his BeBopper buddies have considered that a lot of the people jailed for “nonviolent drug use” actually pled down from a raft of much more serious charges. PowerLine discussed that a lot in the context of the Get Out Of Jail Early reform laws.

  9. How about Drug War Reparations to families of people who: were killed in the drug cartel gang shoot-outs; died from drug overdoses or adulterated drugs; were killed by drug addicts who burglarized their homes or mugged them to feed their habit.

    I’d add reparations to families of people who were killed in traffic accidents by drivers high on drugs; and families of doctors, nurses, and first responders attacked by drug addicts. “According to a 2018 survey from the American College of Emergency Physicians, nearly 47 percent of ER doctors reported physical assault at work, with 60 percent confirming attacks in the past year.” See https://www.city-journal.org/violence-in-americas-emergency-rooms

  10. Desperate and stupid. Hope he has enough money and stupid to stay in the da e for a good long time.

  11. He seems to have a bad case of what’s sometimes quaintly referred to as “attention deficit disorder.” In other words, he’s an exhibitionist. A lot of people seem to be these days.

  12. miklos000,

    So are you’re predicting he will expose himself during the next ‘debate’? Possible, I am sure he thinks he is enormously endowed in every aspect of the beta male arena. Bless his heart, Robert Francis O’Rourke is the star in the imaginary movie of his own YUGENESS.

    It is so easy to make fun of RFO and the rest.

  13. We have already had a cool stoner president, we don’t need a Skate Board Beta ~ BEE-TOE ~ who spent over twice the amount of the least liked Texas Senator to lose his last election.

    “Sounds like soon we will all be standing around in a circle handing money to each other.”

    LOL – I can see a great graphic for that; wish I had some l33t photo-op skilz.
    For my generation, the circle would include Monopoly’s Mr. Moneybags, or maybe Scrooge McDuck, and certainly Maynard G. krebs.

  15. Neo: “I continue to marvel that Beto O’Rourke almost became a senator from Texas. ”
    As do I.
    But this is a sign. The TX electorate has been seriously dumbed down by latinos and the Dems that control the big cities. TX has three of the ten most populous cities in the country, and we know who runs them: DEMs: the Castro brothers in San Antonio, the likes of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in Houston. Dallas is a tad more conservative.
    This dumbing down, this cultural destruction at the hands of the globalist elites awaits us all.
    What the heck! I’ve been reading the current issue of First Things, and I agree with that journal that I am a white nationalist, which only the MSM deems bad.

  16. NOT THE ONION

    Well, not to be outdone, today Bernie is reported to be proposing cancelling all outstanding medical debt in this country, estimated at $81 billion dollars, as a way to start reshaping our health care system into “Medicare for All” or some such.

    Man, the Left’s bidding to buy off voters is getting more and more fierce by the hour.

    How about just “cutting to the chase,” and have a gigantic fire sale on the United States–everything for sale, no offer too low, free U.S. citizenship and lifetime everything for free for everyone in the world with a pulse.

    The 24/7 all you can eat Smorgasbord and open bar are free to everyone in the world, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers.

    Come and get it!

    Someone has to pay for it all but, don’t worry, we’ll figure all that out later, when the bills start to become due!

  17. May be the new slogan of Beto and others of these Leftist candidates promising the moon and the stars ought to be:

    “I can’t be out of money, I still have checks!

  18. Snow – you do know there are people who really believe that about checks, don’t you?
    They also believe that the government has money of its own, and gives it to you when you get a tax refund.

    Robert Francis “Blotto” O’Rourke: Hey, I’ve Got a Great Idea. Let’s Pay Government Money to Illegal Marijuana Dealers as “Reparations” .
    Beto: Let’s pay reparations for non-violent marijuana offenders

    Yes, reparations for those who have served jail time for nonviolent marijuana charges.
    That means at least dealing — it has long been virtually impossible to go to jail on mere possession.

  20. AeosopFan–Yeah, I do know that some people think this way, and that’s why I used this brainless dea.

    The problem here is, of course, that Beto and others on the Left aren’t writing checks on their bank accounts, they are counting on writing checks on ours.

    iIs very easy to give away others money.

  21. Roy N:

    I hope you understand just how sexist the word “menstrual” is. Wouldn’t you think “womenstrual” is less triggering?

  22. F:

    Get with it! Don’t you know that transsexuals (male to female) have “periods” (didn’t use that gendered word)! Physical reality is soo triggering! /sarc
