Don’t lecture me on the devastation caused by illegal drugs.
I know two young men who have recently died of drug overdoses. One was my cousin’s only son. 

I’m all for harsh penalties, including life sentences, for drug smugglers. 
 

I also believe in the rule of law.

There is no evidence whatsoever that Trump and Hegseth are following US or international law.

 

They aren’t “strong”.  
 

They’re lawbreakers. Trump has conned the Supreme Court into saying that he isn’t subject to US laws.  But Hegseth and others?  They still are subject to US and international law. Even if Trump preemptively pardons Hegseth (100% chance he will), those pardons mean nothing internationally.  

I also know of several.  The only time I remember publicly crying in a hospital was after a 17yo I was caring for died in the ICU.  Agree on penalties.

Most everyone cares about innocent people getting hurt.  That's a straw man and ridiculous on its face.  And there's a questionable premise.  Are drug abusers innocent for the consequences of their actions?  I think they're at least partially culpable.

Can you show me where you have shown concern on a similar level for the innocent? As for the drug users, they should be helped, just like the mentally ill should be helped, until they start acting violently, then we jail them until they can behave.

Yes.

I don’t understand why bombing boats is ok but pardoning Hernandez isn’t?   Biden derangement syndrome?
