    “It was only 220 tons of weed!”

    This is the guy who’s in charge as the US obliterates random fishing boats while claiming they’re smuggling drugs. The point is dragging you into an alley and beating you to near death and you’re still completely missing it.

        Sorry, I’m from Canada and habit kicked in. Oddy, we do use pounds for things like cars, which weigh over a ton, but never really say that a car weighs 1.5 tons or whatever.

        Yeah. That’s only like 3 tractor trailers (assuming they’re not just running overweight too)

      Trump blowing up boats is bad

      Trump commuting non violent drug offenses is good

      You can hold these two opinions if you’re mature enough to understand no one is a pure hero or villain and can do both good and bad things

        Ok, so he’s going to pardon all the non-violent drug offenses, then? When’s he going to let all those people go?

        If the reason he pardoned that guy is a good one then he would want to apply that to everyone in the same circumstances, correct? If he refuses to then it would stand to reason that there is a different intent behind his action. Come now, be serious.
