The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

It very much can, but to maximize it Trump needs to stay above the fray as much as is possible, to be more presidential. I think we've seen more of that this time. I hope it continues. The media TDS machine is already revved up - he just needs to treat it like the noise in the background.
It's a lot to expect and I may be disappointed, but there's always hope.

What I don’t get is how there were any left. Obama and Trump both pardoned non-violent drug offenders.
Plus it’s always been a small number. The reformers fantasy has always been you have all these nice guys in federal prison who’s only crime was they did inhale but it just wasn’t true.
Maybe earlier rounds excluded people dealing? And now this gets the dealers? I really don’t know.

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

It could be that Obama was more targeted. I remember there was concern about sentencing disparities between
black drug userscrack cocaine andwhitethe powdery kind, for example. Maybe he target those things. I’m too lazy to look it up.It’s likely just new cases that popped up over the last 4 years. 2500 isn’t a lot spread out over 50 states and 4 years.
