Awesome. That's right, MAGA Morons, go after reefer, and wake up the sleeping giant of young people.
We should make this a major deal, and have Dem candidates declare that they will support full legalization. It will attract FAR more votes than it loses, and MANY of this votes will be first timers.
Zelensky was the star of a sitcom about a public school teacher who becomes president, and cleans up government corruption.
Ukraine was incredibly corrupt, filled with Russian stooges who were looting the country blind, and the people wanted Zelensky's character as president. That character was fictional, so Zelensky was the next best thing, and it turns out that he took his job as seriously as his TV character.
That's exactly right. George Washington really REALLY didn't want the job. He was very money oriented, and the fact that he had been away from his farm during the entire war, and couldn't be there to manage it was extremely frustrating for him. All he wanted was to be a gentlemen farmer, and all these responsibilities came his way.
So when he was offered the role of national leader, he declined. They even offered to make him king, which he definitely didn't like. Eventually, he was persuaded that as a new country, with powerful enemies, America needed someone very strong to keep it on its feet for the first few years, until it could start walking. After going through all that trouble to give birth to America, Washington decided he better watch over his new baby in the crib.
After serving two terms, he shocked everyone by deliberately emulating the example of Cincinnatus, the successful Roman general who could have ruled Rome, but chose to return from the battlefield, and head straight to his family farm instead.
Later, Washington again had to be persuaded to oversee the Constitutional Congress. All he wanted to do was stay on his farm.
Refusing to campaign for president until the "people have demanded it," has become a tradition, although it is always cringingly transparent. So I'm like you - I don't trust anyone who WANTS to be president. That should be the first sign that they are not the right candidate.
I want to say no celebrities or billionaires so badly, but if you believe that nearly ALL politicians are irredeemably corrupt, then that's where we have to go for the people with the money and/or name recognition to win.
If you are going to vote for someone other than a politician, than an intelligent person who has spent the last couple of decades closely following politics and commenting on it every night might be a good option, provided they have the morals for it. I generally don't think much of the morals of billionaires or celebrities, but they're far better than MAGAs. At least they aren't enthusiastic traitors and pedophiles.
This is what I was thinking when there was talk of Al Franken running for president. But Schmuck Schumer didn't want a smart, charismatic, funny PROGRESSIVE candidate running for president, so he jumped on that clumsy MAGA smear job to destroy him. I'll NEVER forgive Schumer (or Gillibrand, who was in on it) for it.
But just think of how good a Franken/ Trump would have been.
The loss of Al Franken was enormous.
Add him to the VERY long list of PedoCons.
Of course he's a pedophile, he's a MAGA. ALL conservatives are Pedophiles, no exception. If they aren't actively involved, they support those who are, and that's the same thing.
All MAGA Nazis are PedoCons.
His psychotic parents deliberately never instilled any sense of shame, guilt, consequences, empathy, etc. in him. He is a remarkably broken human, an actual psychological specimen. He should be locked up, and studied by scientists. Very few people have had an upbringing that was literally tailored to create a psychopath.
100%. Russia likes to control the countries on their borders, to act as a buffer against invasion. Better to defend you country on someone else's soil, and destroy their assets. We use the oceans for the exact same thing.
That is, until he deliberately made enemies of those on our direct borders. Next he will want to control those countries, because he will feel it is very important to controlling the borders.
And all these ideas are coming from Putin. After their meeting, expect HitlerPig to start spouting all sorts of nonsensical concepts that would be terrible for us, but great for Putin.
Share a border crossing with Russia? No thanks.
Not a Republican terrorist, he was a MAGA terrorist, there's a difference.
The Republican Party is dead. Its core tenets were smaller government, lower taxes, economic responsibility, individual liberty, family values, etc.. The MAGA Party espouses none of that. MAGAs openly support treason, racism, corruption, pedophilia, rape, hate, authoritarianism, Fascism, misogyny, ignorance, and much more, but none of it represents the foundation of Republicanism.
Therefore, the Republican party must be declared to be as dead as the Whigs, only to be referred to in an historical context.
That way, when this is over, and we are dealing with the aftermath of their treason, we can declare the MAGA Party to be an official Terrorist/ Hate group, and prohibit them from existing.
