I'm guessing there was nobody more relevant than Fat Joe after Killer Mike became persona non grata and Snoop favors Trump.
At least nobody else willing to stand next to the DARE cop in the auditorium.
It counts as community service ffs.
Eh, that was kind of overblown.
She had more prosecutions than the prior DA, but most weren't jail time, it was just get caught pay a fine.
And it makes sense when that became a thing, people were riskier with it and got caught more.
She's been pro legalization for almost a decade.
They're not doing enough right now, but it's not like she was some hardcore soldier in the drug war.
Biden on the other hand...

He was behind a lot of the early 90s police bullshit that we're still dealing with today.
What's fucked up is it coincided with the same drop in violent crime from banning leaded gas that every country saw. So some people still think that backwards ass shit works Plus, they were usually alive for decades before the ban and exposed to all that lead for decades...
Shit fucks with your brain, especially as you age
Like I said in another comment.
If she does a bong rip on stage, she's got my vote.
I mean it's better than nothing. It's always funny to me how they start doing everything during an election year when they could have done this 3 years ago.

Here come the defenders of the status quo.
So when does Biden legalize it nationwide?
Fuck off with that bs, I'm just showing you the actual steps his admin has taken to move in the right direction. He can't legalize it by himself on a whim
It's in reference to this clip: https://twitter.com/means_tv/status/1172111510761590786
Your link is dead
That's how you know they don't actually care and it is all political games.
What did Killer Mike do now?
Last I heard is he got arrested at the Grammys for pushing over a security guard?
Aside from getting arrested after winning two Grammys for Scientists and Engineers, he supported Georgia's Republican govenor and is "anti-woke".
Has he... has he read his own lyrics?
...tf did killer mike do to become persona non grata?
Grammy arrest and supported a Republican govenor, so in the current game of politics it would be foolish to associate with him.
Kamala would do more to bridge to divide with Killer Mike and bring in black voters, but she has to play it safe for the base.
After looking it up, I don't think the Grammy incident should count, but I hear what you're saying. Thanks for your response!
I did not know that about KM. Supremely disappointing.
Ok does snoop favor trump? I thought it was just Kanye. What a bizarre world.
He has "nothing but love" for Trump.
Ok but in the Buddha way or Alex Jones way?
It's class warfare. Always has been.
