trump is a liar it does not matter what he said.
The article didn't mention harris' stance on the issue. Is she for legalization?
- Nothing on record that I know of, but some people in her circle has said she's open to legalization
  
  For legalization, but historically toed the party line.

I hate accusations of flip floping in politics... Trump absolutely is an unreliable asshole but it is reasonable and good for people's views on different topics to evolve following receiving new information.
- There’s a big difference between an evolving view and just saying whatever you think the people in front of you want to hear and pretending you’ve always thought that.
  
  I don't disagree, I just loathe that term after the bullshit usage against Kerry.
  
  Yeah dude cracked down on marijuana usage during his 4 years. AG Colonel Sanders went on a little crusade.
- I think we're safely past the point of having to give Trump and any of his views the benefit of the doubt.
- thing is he does not really flip flop as much as talk out of both sides of his mouth.
- Smdllflkjccr
- In general, I agree. But if someone is saying different things every other week, going back and forth, it shows that they really have no stance. Flip flopping isn't evolving your understanding, it's constantly changing your "view" to appeal to whatever crowd you're in front of.
I noticed he didn't call for an abolition of federal anti-cannabis law.
