What it takes to get fired as head of the DEA

So . . . carrying on a non-stop immoral war on drugs that ruins the lives of millions of Americans–a war that is much worse than the medically treatable problem of drug addictions–is not a problem. But a tiny-blip-on-the-radar sex scandal IS enough to get, Michele M. Leonhart, the leader of the DEA, fired. We have such fucked up priorities here in the US. There is a voice in my head keeps saying that we are getting what we deserve for letting viral fear, corrupt money, state-orchestrated violence and fake piety dictate how we handle so many major policy issues. The war on drugs is an especially distressing case in point.

    Love your headline!

    She had to go because she’s not winning the war on drugs. Now let’s get someone in there who can finally win it. We’re so close to all out victory against whichever drugs we arbitrarily decide are a crime to use.
