Oh Boy Interesting article. I think he's half-right. We could do more to catch the heinous, despicable criminals in our society (murderers, rapists), but we need to do something about privatized prisons and the amount of non-violent offenders arrested because of the war on drugs. He tried to hint that he might be supportive of such a bill, but it was nothing he couldn't back out of.

I am all for a one violent crime your screwed (rape, child molestation,attempted murder, & murder) 3 strikes dealing large quantities, pay a fine for a small amount type stuff. $250 for an ounce or less is the limit. If it's residue congrats on getting high and be on your way.

If you slap your wife or beat some dude your just a loser and probably deserve a time out less than 30 days. If you continue to do it screw you go sit in a cell and beat yourself.

Do you mean a politician bought and paid for by Kansas billionaires who is their puppet and physical representation of their own agendas and greed? Or do you mean poor fashion sense(I've heard he wears white after Labor Day!)?

Get the bad cops out. Corruption is rampant among police officers. Don't tell me you forgot about the Delta Blues.

I think he means in the "he is a raging dumbass who never shuts up, has a hard on for microphones, doesn't understand a single issue, and hasn't accomplished a damn thing for Arkansas in his time in DC" sense

His campaign ad said he hated Obama more than any other candidate so that's why I voted for him.

Decriminalize marijuana and you could solve a whole bunch of problems. It's worth doing just for that.

How has that worked out so far?

This is what happens when these people are tasked with actually governing instead of just railing against others and campaigning

Seriously there was something like 600,000 people arrested just for possesion of marijuana in 2015. Total costs of marijuana prohibition are like 3.5 billion annually. What a waste of time and money.

I was being sarcastic. There are too many people that vote that way and it's ruining this country
