Damn, that settles all of my fears.

I don't like to play devil's advocate, but there is a sliver of light between "I am fine with" and "I will push for" a federal law. Both terrible stances given the makeup of this country.

Keep going. It predates Nixon.

Exactly, and we'll never get any real progress if we can't pin the tail on the real elephant in the room.

I get a little bit excited every time there's a Breaking News alert on my phone. Unfortunately the definition of breaking news is now such that it basically means someone retweeted something stupid.

This clip is pretty much on par with everything that tumbles out of his mouth. "Until you're vetted and everything else" is what I heard. I'm so sick of non-stories about Trump when there are so so so many credible things to attack him for.

Right, we're getting to the point where the Biden admin is playing right into his hands. If this goes through at those point, they are already primed to cry foul.

"I'll show you that the US is a racist country!"

The problem is, I'm almost 40 and have been hearing this my whole life. And the Democrats keep moving further right.

Fine, as long as they have their tax exempt status removed.

What kind of logic does that follow?

Yeah, 20 years ago it was probably 1 in 10 or 20. Progress is slow, especially in the South.

There are plenty of reasons why legalizing on the federal level benefits us all, even in legal states. Besides the obvious that the remaining states now have access to legal weed and as such they now generate millions more in tax dollars, removing the controlled dangerous substance designation means the FDA can actually do real testing on cannabis. You won't break any federal crimes for simply driving from your state to a neighboring illegal state, and you can take it on a plane without fear.

Old people trend Republican anyway, and we always talk about getting the youth out to vote but give them so few reasons to do so.

Clearly sarcasm, it's a quote from The Big Lebowski

You're the one who can't detect sarcasm

Awaiting the Christian Right to call him antisemitic.

Everyone is saying don't but snack foods, which is one step. But if you don't have some form of healthy snacks on hand, you're just going to revert back to it. I suggest dehydrating fruits and having nuts and seeds available so you can still snack but not feel bad about it.

Creacher

In other news, 58% of GOP caucusgoers are liars.
