I never really got into alcohol but I recently discovered pot when I was in Vegas last year and I loved it I definitely wanna see it more widespread in the future
To each his own. Vegas..The last time I was there I got lost from my people and ended up riding around in a taxi trying to find my way with a bunch of dudes from Scotland wearing kilts....Good ol' alcohol. That probably wouldn't have happend with pot. LOL LOL!!!
 
Also this is being ignored by the MSM for obvious reasons.



Its was going to go to the SCOTUS one way or the other regardless of who "won" this round....its not surprising that this was the decision given the judges on the panel.....I think ultimately the SCOTUS agrees with the lower court either 5-4 or 6-3, this will set the precedent limiting executive privilege which is the right call.....however luckily for Trump it wont be till after Nov probably at this point before the SCOTUS can take it up.
 
yeah I’m done responding to you. The “free life” is just a ridiculous thing to say. I haven’t suggested that. I said federally legal marijuana, medicare for all who want it (keep your private plan) and free public college (keep your private school). You aren’t debating in good faith.

That makes ZERO SENSE. You want free college and free insurance but I am more than welcome to pay for mine so long as I pay for yours too? Thats pretty much what you just said....Unbelievable
 
Just sonething to watch, out of 2900+ cases in SK, according to BNO news only 7 are listed in serious condition. They are reporting 17 dead but all I've seen so far is older people with pre-existing health conditions.
I am one of those over 65 who wants action from trump.
 
My first thought is do we really know for sure what went on over there? Maybe something else going on all together. The fact that we have been forced to panic about something so mysterious is feeling odd. I don't know, I think it's all about crashing the economy in the end but that's just me...
So the Dems are crashing the world economy to get rid of Trump? They can't count votes in Iowa but they can rig the whole world to benefit them?

I say you actually have a point there, that might be giving the Dems too much credit.... but the very left leaning media knows that it won't hurt them any to pump the hype and panic.

I think the point Turley is making is that the ruling indicates the Trump admin had a valid constitutional argument as ruled here regarding the obstruction of justice charge. The Supreme Court may indeed decide differently but Turley’s point is essentially that this ruling shows the obstruction of justice charges were premature at this stage in the game.
 
Because according to the law of the land and the Constitution its something a women has a legal right to decide to do....I don't agree with it, and I do support laws limiting abortion but at the end of the day I think that Roe vs Wade got it right from a Constitutional standpoint. That means that attempting to force a change in that law is done based on social views thus making it a social issue. Also I think the systems we have in place would not be able to handle 600-700k unwanted children every year....the entire issue is ugly and sad but at the end of the day the current system works better than any alternative.
Exterminating jews was the law of the land in Germany at one time.
Owning slaves was the law of the land in the US at one time.

Every life is as valuable as yours ,mine, a fathers, or a mothers. Abortion is plain out murder. Dress it up however you like.

I always here about less government regulation unless it's a woman's right to choose

Well you have point there but it's deeper than that. George Soros, deep state and MSM. And to your point, that is why GS is able to be their puppet master in the first place. He is really really a bad character and a scary SOB. Has his nose and money in everything!! Follow the money and connect the dots. He's got to go!! Other countries have banned him etc. and I do believe this is some of what is going on with the whole draining the swamp thing too. Not just the players we see on the surface in DC.
 
Nothing like getting an email putting your 6 month contract to Afghanistan ON HOLD. Unfortunately for me ON HOLD means we can arrange another contract pulling security in another hot spot not of your choosing. I have spent 4 months doing nothing of substance and I was actually looking forward to the cold and dust storms in a 3rd world country.....Im about to pull my @#$%! hair out!

I have a question about this whole thing. It seems like for years abortion was no big deal. A few groups opposed but mostly it was not anything anybody really paid attention to. Not such a hot topic. Then here comes this more radical late term abortion by the dems. Why did this blow up and the dems introduce this late term business? Why such a radical move? Celebrating so outwardly? I think they brought the late term and even after birth into the department like say murder, and things like that the government naturally has their nose in. Right to choose went to whole different level. It may have to do with the business side of it and the parts market.? Planned Parenthood is a huge money making business and way more disgusting than just the right to choose with night after or first couple of weeks thing...All interesting.

Do you remember the term, “Hurry up and wait”? I know you do. LMAO. Relax frogman. You’ll get your chance to poop behind a sand dune soon enough.

Planned Parenthood was initially instituted as a way of controlling the “less desirable” part of The population; read, blacks. The dirty side of PP that my SJW brethren in the DNC don’t want anyone to remember.

LOL.....Its beyond aggravating because I have to make months of provisions months ahead of time. I have other opportunities I passed on. I did get warned by a few former team members that this was likely to happen so guess I shouldnt be in total shock but 2 weeks out is not cool. Family is happy though so there is that
 
Yep, one of the most successful technological enhancements for our abilities to extract energy and actually make us an exporter should immediately cease.

To heck with relatively cheap natural gas prices and to heck with all the direct and indirect jobs and associated livelihoods.

To heck with the increased tax revenues.

To heck with the people, just dictate everything.

That's not something I ever want to see nor my children or grandchildren, but you let these people have power and life as we know it will be drastically worse.

With Biden's strong win in SC, maybe this will mean enough of a change in momentum to knock back Sanders and that Dems will have the sense to not nominate a socialist. We'll see in 3 days if there's any Biden mo.

Pre primary polls averaged ~40% for Biden vs 24% for Sanders. Let's see how Biden does in comparison. Right now it is Biden 53% and Sanders 17% but with only 14% of the precincts counted.

Edit: Now 51% to 18% with 16% of precincts counted.

PS/aside: I thought Trump did much better with his Coronavirus news conference today vs the prior one.

Biden needs a big surge coming out of this....he crushed everyone in SC and should repeat that in a lot of the south, but it might not be enough to stop the Bernie train at this point.
 
The polls listed below show how much better Biden has done vs Sanders vs all of these polls: now at a whopping 50% Biden vs only 19% Sanders with over half the precincts counted or a very impressive 31% margin vs the average poll margin of only 15%. So, assuming this largely holds, I’ll be looking to see if Biden gets good mo in the upcoming weeks. I admit I’m biased because I don’t want a socialist (Sanders) to be the next POTUS:

They’re both idiots. And I’m a registered Democrat.

According to CNN, Tom Steyer has dropped out of the race. Not too surprising, SC was crucial for him just it was for Biden. This victory in SC is a mixed blessing. It was a bigger blowout than polls suggest (although polls were kinda all over the place). However, the timing is bad. He only has two days to capitalize on this win and if it's true that Biden hasn't done much campaigning or set up much grassroots operations in Super Tuesday states, this win may not be enough to stop Sanders' momentum. I'm just gonna say it, California is a lost cause for Biden, he may end up completely shut out there because they are already early voting there and Sanders has a 17pt lead there (34%). Warren is the only person who comes close in second with 17% support. Speaking of Warren, her poor performance in SC might help Sanders in CA even more (maybe in MA too). Sanders also has a good lead in Texas, he's leading by 9pts there. That will probably narrow some because of Biden's win, we'll see. Lastly, I haven't even talked about the monkey wrench, Bloomberg we don't know how well or poor he'll perform on Super Tuesday. He's Biden's thorn in his side if he overperforms he's going to hurt Biden's support.
 
I've seen lots of ads for Tom Steyer on TV in Alabama the last 2 weeks. I guess we're done with those now

The Democratic establishment doesn’t want Sanders as the nominee. He’s an independent and only caucuses with the DNC because they’re aligned closer to his beliefs than the GOP. They don’t want him because he’s an admitted socialist and the mainstream Dems don’t want him or the far left like AOC to take control of the party because if that happens, they will never again win the White House. Once again, this if what I, a registered Democrat think and believe.

As a registered Democrat also, I do agree with this. DNC/Democratic establishment has made it VERY clear they are going to stop Sanders by any means necessary if he comes into the convention this summer with only the plurality and not the majority of needed delegates. Only thing I disagree with is the last part. I don't buy into that narrative. It's never going to happen, but we need to abolish superdelegates. Imo, it's undemocratic that a small group of people can swoop in and put their thumb down and say we are going to overturn the will of the people who voted for the candidate they wanted. It should give Democrats pause that the Republican party doesn't rely on superdelegates in a primary election, why should we be doing the same? I stand by the opinion that whoever accumulates the most delegates should be the nominee period.

EDIT: I meant to say I do agree with most of what you said.

Superdelegates who can change their vote on a whim are what rules the DNC. It’s a shame. I’m what my old man calls a Blue Dog Democrat. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal.
