Trump's in Michigan now, didn't know about it, saying if you have to have illegals in the country put them in the liberal enclaves:

Yes! They ARE "sanctuary cities" after all, I'm sure they'd be glad to have all of that multicultural diversity while us poor plebs out here in the rural areas/suburbs are stuck in our boring old racist homogenous society.

I wouldn't rule out Dr.Oz for some reason I never question a celebrity running for politics again after Trump and even Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming governor of California.

Everyone needs to rule him out.

Go look at what I posted about him in the Happenings midterm thread a couple months back. If you don't question him after that I'll be very surprised.

EDIT: While I'm on the subject, I should also mention that Rush Limbaugh's pathetic replacements "Clay and Buck" recently interviewed this lowlife and mentioned absolutely NONE of the stuff in my post. The whole thing was just a bunch of softball questions. So take from that what you will.

It's still bizarre to me that marijuana is scheduled so high. I'm not exactly pro marijuana but there is no reason in the world marijuana should be scheduled higher than opioids.

I assume because opioids have a medical use. Marijuana, the plant, does not. THC and cannabinoids have some useful effects, which is why you can get them prescribed in pill form, but that's not an argument for smoking a bunch of plants Ricky grew in Sunnyvale Trailer Park.

Correct, the difference between Schedule I and II substances is that the latter are deemed to have legitimate medical uses. That said, the scheduling of cannabinoids is total bullshit -- Ricky's weed won't run you $200-$800 per script without insurance, unlike Marinol.

You sound like those same people that were raging over Russiagate in 2016.

2020 happened because of fear mongering, social media, ignorance and political leverage.

You're quoting a post from like 40 pages ago, but at least you're not talking about Bible verses, so here's a question for you. If that's what happened in 2020, then what about 2018? Same shit where tens of thousands of mail in ballots were found days after elections were over, turning them for democrats. There were electronic voting machines that gave out impossible totals. Blatant violations of process all over. No one did anything then. Barely even raised a stink. Because the people who cheated were the people who make the rules, who decide what's a crime, who decide what's news.

It's an impossible task to pluck out all these rotten cunts.

2018 wasn't a presidential election. This was around when Trump was at his peak. So was the media coverage of Orange Man Bad. Remember that COVID happened which took everybody by surprise which they took full advantage of.

I would say they wanted to milk Orange Man Bad until they had something that took. But they didn't account on Trump actually being semi competent.

So I've been thinking and I wonder what the "carrot" the Dems will try to push through will be to buy votes for the midterms/elections, since they're broke.

I am genuinely surprised they haven't done something simple and profitable like just legalize weed. I think I've said that in here before, but it's even more true now, because that's essentially free money across the board. Billions of dollars in tax money within the span of a year. It would be too late to save them for midterms but I'm sure they could fix some way to embezzle some tax funds into a war chest for 2024.

I feel like it's all but guaranteed Biden will extend the student loan repayments again just out of pure desperation.

FWIW I didn't expect them to work this quickly, looks like weed it is

The fact that following scripture works and departure from the lessons of Christ have led to this level of societal destruction means that even if it isn't real, it's real. Which is the realest shit there is.

Oh, that's not how precedent works. Precedent only applies when the court wants to rule a certain way. They'd find a reason the earlier rulings don't apply. Also, increasingly, liberal Ivy League law school grads are dispensing with the whole concept of law as structurally racist. For example, the foundational legal doctrine of right to representation has been challenged at Harvard and Yale, and most grads don't believe in it any more.

If I were to pretend for a moment that courts in the USA actually practice law, one actual issue is that various state statutes for handling ballots actually have very little in the way of penalties if the statutes are broken. I guess there's possible fines and jail time here and there if you ever catch the person who mishandled the ballots, but that's rare. Republicans could write laws specifying who has standing to sue and what happens if the courts find, for example, that chain of custody was broken in a batch of ballots.

No doubt, liberals would challenge such laws as unconstitutional and racist.

Reminder that sedition is the crime in question and it carries the death penalty as the maximum sentence. Which is why progressive judges want power: easier to bring about “The Revolution” ™️if no one is ever properly charged for the crime.

Well, at least they are even doing it correctly:


Descheduling marijuana entirely is the only way legalization will work and I’m honestly impressed they included that aspect. They must have hired a specific group of very smart lobbyists to write this. There is no way the Dems did it right on their own.
