[Joe the Revelator]

1. Come on, Fellow Kids!!!

[GreatGazoo]

98. Hey they love rich celebs so much that it doesn't matter what they said in the recent past

Snoop's handwritten list here explain how he makes his choice:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2012/10/06/snoop-dogg-shares-reason-to-vote-obama-michelle-got-a-fat-a/

Wow.

[KingFlorez]

2. It's all that pot!

Pay this no mind, he was high when he said this. Snoop would never vote for Shillary. She gave him a real strong batch to get him to say this! FRAUD!

[NWCorona]

5. The odd thing is Hillary's politics are more likely to land his ass in jail over weed

It's his right to vote how he wants tho.

[Sparkly]

11. Nonsense.

[Joe the Revelator]

13. What?

She is by far the least pro-legalization still running in EITHER party

[Sparkly]

18. I said "nonsense."

She is open to it.

[Joe the Revelator]

19. She is open to more research into more research. To pretend that makes her progressive on this...

...is the only real nonsense. She will still happily send people to jail over weed.

[Sparkly]

32. Leaps of logic.

"She will still happily send people to jail over weed."

Not true. (It's funny to me to see added emotions like "happily" -- as though she's a cartoon like Cruella DeVille or the classic Evil Stepmother.)

There is no way Congress will pass federal legalization anytime soon. States need to regulate it as they do alcohol, and nobody wants to under-regulate and be blamed when suits crop up about feels of intoxication for safe driving, testing measures, sale and purchase, arguments about whether it's a "gateway" drug, etc.

[Joe the Revelator]

40. The president can order his/her FDA to reclassify any drug at anytime. Its really a simple fix.

You change the schedule of the drug, its no longer controlled. Congress no longer matters, because there is no prohibition at lower schedules.

[Sparkly]

43. I said legalization.

[Joe the Revelator]

45. That is the most direct route to legalization and the corporate prison pipeline.

[msanthrope]

76. Indeed.....kindly point us to your legal source for that assertion. nt

[Joe the Revelator]

82. Sure...I mean, you could have looked this up yourself. It was very easy to find.

PART B - AUTHORITY TO CONTROL; STANDARDS AND SCHEDULES
§ 811. Authority and criteria for classification of substances.

(a) Rules and regulations of Attorney General; hearing
The Attorney General shall apply the provisions of this subchapter to the controlled substances listed in the schedules established by section 812 of this title and to any other drug or other substance added to such schedules under this subchapter. Except as provided in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, the Attorney General may by rule -

(1) add to such a schedule or transfer between such schedules any drug or other substance if he -
(A) finds that such drug or other substance has a potential for abuse, and
(B) makes with respect to such drug or other substance the findings prescribed by subsection (b) of section 812 of this title for the schedule in which such drug is to be placed; or
(2) remove any drug or other substance from the schedules if he finds that the drug or other substance does not meet the requirements for inclusion in any schedule.
Rules of the Attorney General under this subsection shall be made on the record after opportunity for a hearing pursuant to the rulemaking procedures prescribed by subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5. Proceedings for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of such rules may be initiated by the Attorney General (1) on his own motion, (2) at the request of the Secretary, or (3) on the petition of any interested party.

[msanthrope]

83. Well, thank you for providing the link that disproves your assertion. nt

[Joe the Revelator]

84. How does it disprove my assertion?

[msanthrope]

85. Really? nt

[Joe the Revelator]

89. Yes, really.

Unless you have no idea how the office of the Atty General works.

[msanthrope]

90. Thank you again for providing a post that undercuts your assertion.

My law degree has been instructive in teaching me how the office of the Attorney General works. It's also taught me how to read a law, rule, regulation, and decision or two.

I would like you to show me precisely how the Executive orders the Attorney General to do anything. Then tell us how the President orders the FDA into schedule and rule changes. You might wish to review Watergate in your defense of rule by Presidential fiat.

Second, you might wish to review what a "finding" is, vis--a-vis federal rule changes. For that, HRC is correct.....you actually do need more research for the rule to pass first Congressional, then SCOTUS muster. EOs actually need to be able to do that, too.

The fact is that until the pot lobby gets off its ass and works to make substantive legislation, federal legalization is dead in the fucking water.

[NWCorona]

51. We have all the research we need in WA, CO and now OR

Pretending indeed!

[JonLeibowitz]

54. We need to study it more. Evidently CO legalization re-made it into the state of Wyoming!

Vote for Hillary!

[Arugula Latte]

95. Let me guess.

She'll "evolve" on this when she can no longer afford to be in a shrinking minority, but she won't like it cuz pot arrests are good for her buddies who run the brutal private prison racket.

[NWCorona]

14. Hillary wants the status quo in regards to the federal laws on weed

Bernie wants to legalize it.

The differences are night and day.

[Sparkly]

22. "wants"

Why make issues about who "wants" what?

We don't know what they "want."

Clinton proposes feds looking at states that have legalized/decriminalized and go from there. (Guess what -- there is no realistic chance for any fed law beyond that right now. None at all.)

Bernie can propose legalizing it, but that doesn't make it any more likely to pass. In fact, it makes it LESS likely to pass, because it makes it less likely he could win a general election.

[timmymoff]

25. This is really simple

If you think we need more research on this particular issue and/ or your candidate thinks that, You and the candidate are way the hell out of touch with what is going on.

[Sparkly]

33. Again -- it's not about "who THINKS what."

[kpola12]

88. She said;

She was open to the states decriminalizing but was not ready for the federal government to relax penalties. What an odd policy.

[BootinUp]

3. K & R

[Sheepshank]

4. "Groovy like a drive in movie"

......pitch perfect 2

[ucrdem]

6. SnoopDogg is dead to me.

p.s. not really!

[NWCorona]

15. I thought he was dead but I guess he was just sleeping.

[ucrdem]

21. LOL I guess Hillary has that effect on people.

Bernie's gonna be soooo jealous.

[NWCorona]

29. Bernie doesn't seem like the jealous type but maybe.

[kcjohn1]

7. 1% looking out for the 1%

Snoop Dogg has an estimated net worth of $135 million, earning an estimated $75 million in 2014 and $10 million in 2013 alone through his various holdings in restaurants and fashion companies.Feb 16, 2015

[Sparkly]

12. That MUST be it.

[NWCorona]

17. Well he's not pro women.

[Sparkly]

23. Were you going to vote for him?

[NWCorona]

27. What does that have to do with anything?

[Sparkly]

34. He's a supporter.

Is everything about him irrelevant, or even damaging, because he doesn't pass a test for perfection, as candidates do?

[reddread]

36. and he is for hire

[Sparkly]

37. Are you?

[reddread]

39. what I wont do for a cigarette and a swig of your coffee

[Sparkly]

41. I guess that's his position, too.

[reddread]

42. that and privacy for offshore investors

[Sparkly]

44. Well that's a reason not to vote for him.

[reddread]

46. why dont i just not buy his records?

[Sparkly]

47. There you go.

[woolldog]

26. If that were the case, he would simply vote for the GOP candidate

who wants to lower taxes.

[Thinkingabout]

8. Thanks for the endorsement.

[cherokeeprogressive]

9. Today's positive reinforcement...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoop_Dogg#Legal_incidents

[zazen]

10. "Look at the shit on that critter."--Snoop Dogg, 5/6/15, about camerawoman during interview

Real stand-up feminist there. You must be so proud.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/snoop-dogg-s-sexist-comments-about-camerawoman-creepy-and-awkward-1.3102580

[Sparkly]

16. You guys are great at slanting anything against her.

He's rich -- That's why!
He said something unfeminist -- There ya go!

It's a game. Any endorsement (or word against Sanders) = "I guess they like murder and war and fracking and corporatism and abortion restrictions."

Does this never get old, or obvious? Seriously?

[.99center]

49. "He said something unfeminist"

He made his fortune off of songs such as "Bitch please" "A Bitch I Knew" Bitch please" "Bitch nigga" More pandering by Clinton, she gave speeches to the youth in the 90's about the dangers of his music. I'm pretty sure he was exactly the type of person she had in mind when mentioning "super predators" in the 90's. He was an admitted gang member involved in murders who sang and glorified violence, he'll make a good fit at team Clinton.

[SidDithers]

20. He's no Killer Mike...nt

Sid

[Dr Hobbitstein]

24. Gin & Juice > Run Tha Jewels.

Hell, I'll put the entirety of "Doggystyle" up against Killer Mike's ENTIRE discography. Snoop is a legend. Killer Mike is a one hit wonder.

[wildeyed]

74. I dunno. The last Run the Jewels was a classic of the cat sounds genre.

I LIKE Mike, but not in Snoop's league at all. I actually don't care a bit who either likes for president. I REALLY like Big Boi, and he is a freakin' Libertarian. Whatevs....

[Dr Hobbitstein]

91. Big Boi is awesome.

Even if I am more of a Andre 3000 kinda guy. I also love Ceelo, even though he's a huge asshole.

[riversedge]

30. No she is not. She wnats more reseach into it and let the states decide like CO is doing.

[m-lekktor]

35. OFFS, wanting more research on pot is the lamest of bullshit excuses.

nobody with a fucking brain buys that garbage.

[reddread]

38. but if it were Iraqi weapons inspections

[.99center]

50. How do you do research without removing it from it's Schedule 1 classification

Is she pushing for a reclassification?

[Warren DeMontague]

59. She's delaying, like she did with gay marriage, until the beltway insider conventional wisdom crowd

says it's okay to "evolve".

[cherokeeprogressive]

72. Maybe she fancies herself to be like Gandhi, or Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin...

“There go my people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.”

[Arugula Latte]

97. She's also holding out on behalf of

the private prison grifting racket that she and Bill have been so gung ho about.

[JudyM]

86. Right with you on that, TM99. Laughable.

[JonLeibowitz]

52. She def. represents (corporate) America in Haiti & Honduras! I bet they appreciate her "perspective"

[northernsouthern]

53. Lol!

Too bad she would arrest his ass for the green that he loves!

[oasis]

55. Snoop's a highly regarded entertainer and businessman. Great endorsement.

[Cha]

56. Cool, Snoop!

Mahalo, rivers~

[Ford F-150]

57. Is this the same guy that did the Girls Gone Wild videos?

And this is something to promote...???

[longship]

58. With a name like Snoop Dogg, what can one say? nt

[Warren DeMontague]

60. It's good endorsement. Of course, so was Stipe.

Anyway, maybe Snoop will prod her to display some real leadership on the topic of cannabis, because changing to schedule II and verbally promising not to upset the apple cart on state medical and recreational reform is at best the bare minimum on the issue.

Her stated position is preferable to the positions of those who want wholesale roundups of medical and recreational marijuana users- Chris Christie and Debbie Wasserman Schultz being the main ones remaining- however, a move from I to II does NOT reconcile the conflict between federal and state law.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

61. With his mind on his money

And his money on his mind?

[Yurovsky]

87. Exactly... He got his before I got mine...

to paraphrase the d.o. double G.

I EXPECT rich folks to vote for Hillary or the GOP. Bernie is going to cost the 1% real money, and they aren't cool with that.

[NurseJackie]

62. He's a trip!

[timmymoff]

63. It will be great to add another feminist supporter like Snoop Dogg in her mix.

[riversedge]

65. I liked his comment -printed on the poster.

[.99center]

64. Thank you Snoop Dogg for your good fight throughout the years on women's issues!

[TheSarcastinator]

66. Have any of you BRILLIANT Hillarians ever actually listened to a Snoop Dogg track??? Ever???

Yeah, he's a real voice for gender equality....

[TheSarcastinator]

67. Here are some of Snoop's excellent feminist lyrics!

Snoop Dogg – Ain't No Fun Lyrics

"You're back now at the jack-off hour
This is DJ, Eazy Dick

On W-Balls, right now, somethin' new
By Snoop Doggy Dogg
And this one goes out to the ladies
From all the guys

A big bow wow wow
'Cause we gonna make it a little mystery here tonight
This is DJ Eazy Dick, on the station that
Slaps you across your fat ass, with a fat dick

When I met you last night baby
Before you opened up your gap
I had a respect for ya lady
But now I take it all back

'Cause you gave me all your pussy
And ya even licked my balls
Leave your number on the cabinet
And I promise baby, I'll give you a call

Next time I'm feelin' kinda horny
You come on over, and I'll break you off
And if you can't fuck that day, baby
Just lay back and open your mouth

'Cause I have never met a girl
That I love in the whole wide world

Well, if Kurupt gave a fuck about a bitch I'd always be broke
I'd never have no motherfuckin' indo to smoke
I gets loced and looney, bitch you can't do me
Do we like BBD, you hoochie groupie?

I have no love for hoes that's somethin' that I learned in the pound
So how the fuck am I supposed to pay this hoe
Just to lay this hoe I know the pussy's mines
I'ma fuck a couple more times

And then I'm through with it, there's nothing else to do with it
Pass it to the homie, now you hit it
'Cause she ain't nothin' but a bitch to me
And y'all know, that bitches ain't shit to me

I gives a fuck
Why don't y'all pay attention
Approach it with a different proposition, I'm Kurupt
Hoe you'll never be my only one, trick ass bitch

It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none

Guess who is back in the motherfuckin' house
With a fat dick for your motherfuckin' mouth
Hoes recognize, niggaz do too
'Cause when bitches get skinless and pull a voodoo

What you gon' do? You really don't know
So I'd advise you not to trust that hoe
Silly of me to fall in love with a bitch
Knowin' damn well, once you're caught up with my grip

Now as the sun rotates
And my game grows bigger
How many bitches wanna fuck this nigga
Named Snoop Doggy, I'm all the above

I'm too swift on my toes to get caught up with you hoes
But see, it ain't no fun
If my homies can't get a taste of it
'Cause you know I don't love 'em

Whoa, hey, now ya know
Inhale, exhale with my flow

One for the money, two for the bitches
Three to get ready, and four to hit the switches
In my Chevy, six-fo' Rad to be exact
With bitches on my side, and bitches on my back

So back up bitch 'cause I'm strugglin'
So get off your knees and then start jugglin'
These motherfuckin' nuts in your mouth
It's me, Warren G the nigga with the clout

It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none

[Exilednight]

68. I thought the Snoop Dog was that little beagle in the Peanuts. who the hell is this guy?

[AzDar]

69. Love Snoop, but he's not very bright... Tell me: Is it STILL " 1-8-7 On The Undercover Cop" ?

[whistler162]

70. That news, my own coffee cup, and $1.50

get me a coffee refill.

[frylock]

71. I got bitches in the living room gettin it on and they ain't leavin til six in the mornin

Ya'll ever listen to Snoop's part in Dre's 'Fuck You'?

[Turin_C3PO]

75. He's said he was young and stupid

when he was writing a lot of his old stuff. People can change.

[frylock]

77. Now he's old and stupid

It's uncomfortable to watch.

During a TV interview a man stops to comment on how "thick" he finds the CBC camera operator.

"I like your camera girl, too. She's thick. Damn."

(For those unfamiliar with the world of Urban Dictionary, thick translates to "nice ass, nice legs." A girl who has "meat on her bones in all the right places."

"I wasn't even looking down. Now I'm forced to look down at the camera," he continues. "Look at the shit on that critter."

[KingFlorez]

79. Really?

"A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused.

"A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously.

- Bernie Sanders

I really don't think you want to go there. What Sanders wrote was really horrible, so you can't claim no high ground.

[frylock]

80. Really.

Let's go there. Like a battle. I throw out some lyrics, then you come back with some of Bernie's writings.

"Fuck You"
(feat. Devin the Dude, Snoop Dogg)

[Snoop Dogg]
.. fuck witchu
On the sneak tip, on some creep shit
So whatcha gon' do, ya freak bitch?
You, actin, like you, don't, do, dicks
That's the kinda bitch I hate fuckin wit
Baby was a virgin, that's what she said
So I gave her some Hennesey, she gave me some head
I fucked her on the flo', so I wouldn't mess up my bed
Then Lil' 1/2 Dead put his dick on her head
Take that bitch home, and give her a bone
And give her the number to my cellular phone
Man, she blowin up my pager, the shit's gettin major
A favor for a favor, this dick is what I gave her
Somethin to go by, and bitches know why
Stuff dick in they mouth, and then I'm out (see-ya!)
Twenty-fo' seven, Dre, Snoop, and Devin
We servin' these hoes, and never lovin these hoes, beotch!

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/drdre/fuckyou.html

[Renew Deal]

92. Nice post Tipper!

Let's dig up killer mikes lyrics.

[frylock]

93. Hey man, you're the group that claims the word "unqualified" to be an affront..

to the feminist movement. I just find it odd that the same group of people would embrace Calvin with open arms. Try mixing in a little consistency.

[Renew Deal]

94. It is not liberal to attack artists for their work

No matter what Tipper Gore thinks.

[frylock]

99. woosh

I don't give two fucking shits about Tipper Gore. I'm with Jello Biafra.

[Cheese Sandwich]

73. Snoop Dogg? Not misogynist at all

Don't watch this video unless you want to see an example of Snoop Dogg misogynistic lyrics and video

[Herman4747]

78. Am I supposed to find voting wisdom from a musician? n/t

[Ash_F]

81. Clinton would throw him in jail for his choices

I appreciate his quote there but how does he reconcile that fact? Has he spoken on it?

[SDJay]

96. Great. Good For Him. Question...

does anyone honestly get swayed to vote one way or the other by what some celebrity says or thinks? I don't think I've ever cared one iota about that, whether said celebrity was backing the same person I was backing or not. Snoop Dogg could be voting for an old spare tire and I wouldn't give a shit either way.

Does anyone think these types of endorsements/statements matter for any candidate?
