Jo may not be a sex offender but she is more than willing to help pedophiles operate...

I would appoint leaders at the Treasury Department, who would be told to leave bitcoin and crypto operations alone. Lastly, I would pardon Ross Ulbricht, the individual who operated the Silk Road (SR) marketplace.

That may well be true.  Most of us are too educated and ornery for either party.

Not really. I mean, I can’t remember anything of substance. Please educate me If I’m mistaken. Also, Biden isn’t Obama.

Obama's DOJ used consent decrees. It wasn't enough but it was a start. 

And unlike Obama, Biden will be feeling a lot of pressure from his left.

I own a vehicle likely worth more than everything you own combined and just flew first class (including a ticket for a 2 1/2 year old), round trip to Las Vegas and I'm not 35 yet. When you accomplish something outside of finishing a book, let me know. When's the last time you saw a 2 year old fly first class in their own seat? Don't tell me about elite.

What is this "harm reduction"? Biden won't do anything better except raise taxes and make Liberals feel good about themselves.

Do you really think Biden will fix anything? He is just as bad as Trump except he is blue instead of red. For +++++s sake he sniffs children and nibbles on fingers. He's gross.

Ever notice he only sniffs white kids?  I want a president who will sniff kids of all colors!

He won't deport and intern people who are vulnerable and already living here. That's the harm reduction. That and police departments that violate black people's civil rights will actually be held to account.

As opposed to being encouraged by the president to give arrestees an extra good, hard shove into the back seat of their patrol car.

Gotta just shake my head once again for how in the world anyone could vote for that turd this year.

Obama's DOJ forced Ferguson to adopt several changes:

Justice Department and Ferguson negotiators tentatively agreed to policing reforms in January. But the agreement stalled last month, as the Ferguson City Council raised concerns about costs. But the Justice Department threatened a lawsuit, and told Ferguson officials that their cost concerns were inflated, pushing city officials to finally accept the agreement.

The reported agreement, known as a "consent decree," is very broad. It requires that the city equip all officers who are "reasonably expected to regularly interact with the public" with body cameras within 180 days. It tasks the Ferguson Police Department with reorienting its use-of-force policies to emphasize deescalation and avoid force. It forces the city to overhaul its municipal court system. It mandates a community-oriented approach to policing.

Most importantly, it requires an independent monitor to oversee implementation of these reforms and many others — as is standard with the federal interventions into local police departments.

Unfortunately, Trump's administration has dismantled most of the department which oversees the consent decree.

Why do you think Biden will govern much differently than Obama?

Okay fair enough. I just recall hearing that no substantive change came out of Ferguson but looks like there was. Thanks to you both for the info, I stand corrected.

Lol — you can just stop with the hilarious line that you voted Libertarian in the past. Nobody believes that shit because you’re almost the furthest from a Libertarian as one can be. Bitcoin and crypto currency are not any more enabling of bad behavior than cash but the government hates it because it's not as traceable as electronic transactions ... so it come down to a privacy thing, which authoritarians like you hate. Lastly, Ross Ulbricht was not a pedo and wasn’t convicted on that. JFC

Biden only cares about non-whites when he needs their vote or wants to crack racist jokes about their accents.

I  was going to come in strong in reply to this ... but others beat me to it. Dammit.

It bugs the hell out of me that our politics have devolved to this.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like it either. That said, I do find it beyond amusing that both the GOP fear tactics as well as the Trumpian in your face attacks are being used against them both to great effect. 

That ad is likely only going to play in the DC market, for the sole benefit of Trump.

Bitcoin and crypto currency along with TOR browsers allow people to function completely anonymously.   Both have allowed child pornography and pedophilla to flourish on the dark web.   I never said Ross was a pedo.  I was responding to Jo’s desire to enhance the use of bit coin so she can enable them.

So you want the government to have the ability track all transactions, got it. Privacy is something you just don’t give a +++++ about. Might was well eliminate cash too. At least we’re getting to the point here.

So the ability to make purchases or browse the internet anonymously are bad things? Plenty of bad people use technology for bad things... but it doesn't mean that the technology shouldn't be utilized, or that anonymity itself is a bad thing.

That said, Ulbricht shouldn't be pardoned.

I didn’t say that so don’t try to put words in my mouth.  And if you think we track all transactions you ought to see what China is doing with smart phones.   

The problem with Libertarian hardcore extremists like Jo are they don’t balance shit out.   The market is the answer to every problem regardless if it has well functioning supply and demand curves.   Crypto currency should be equivalent to the US dollar with no recognition or thought on how it is used to facilitate some pretty nasty stuff.  She never has held office so she hasn’t had to grabble with real problems.   So her positions like the ones I mentioned have no nuance for real effects.

so yes, I have voted libertarian multiple times for real world politicians who have experience.   I just leave the pie in the sky extremists for you to support.

Everything has a balance.  I’m not saying eliminate cryptocurrency or anonymous browsing.  I typically use anonymous modes myself.   But I also don’t take it to the extreme Jo does.  I’m not willing to say reporting cash transactions over 10K is a bad thing for instance.

Lol — okay pal. You vote libertarian all the time but you support all this authoritarian bullshit like mandatory military service, gun bans and door to door confiscations, complete transaction monitoring, and mandated government industrialization.

How long should people who committed victimless crimes be incarcerated for?
