The Trump Years- Every day something more shocking than the last! (2 Viewers)

[Loan Sharks]

Yep. At CPAC definitely. 

Yes that was where the speech was given.

 

[TheMagus]

Just because they stop the sales of recreational doesn't mean the local police will start arresting people in the states where marijuana is legal

It's not the local police. The Feds come in and confiscate all the inventory from dispensaries, essentially putting them out of business and leaving them with massive debt, in addition to the possibility of federal criminal charges. 

 

[Sabertooth]

Unfortunately, our President is not God (although he might dispute that).

His followers consider God and the messiah to be one being.  

 

[adonis]

All people are equal in the eyes of god. 

Very inspiring to hear the President reinforce the fact that we are all to be treated the same. I wonder if the message of equality will fall on deaf ears. 

I imagine deaf people are less likely to be at CPAC so i imagine the message falling on deaf ears is not too probable.

except for transgender and brown people.

Agreed.  I look forward to the Republicans finally pushing through the ERA!

Most dispensaries in Colorado have a medical and rec side in the same building. Just move back to all medical.

The Republican party is now and forever the party of the working people of the United States. 

Nice. 

The Democrats have to be foaming at the mouth hearing this.  But hey, if the Democratic Party spent half as much time focused on working people as they did trying to put men inside the women's bathroom they might not be in this mess.

 

[Loan Sharks]

except for transgender and brown people. 

I find it offensive that you don't consider transgender and folks with brown skin people. 

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

You think the feds are going to start arresting people on the street for marijuana?

No, no I don't.

I was merely correcting your mischaracterization of the state of the law. A small matter to most, and I am sure not harm or misdirection intended, its just that I have particular reasons for having a bit of a peccadillo on this issue.  Sorry.  I should perhaps have let it pass.

You're confused ... you find the president offensive, not me.

 

[Da Guru]

We're a very strange nation.

It hit me when millions of people follow the Kardashians that something might be a bit off.

 

[Loan Sharks]

I imagine deaf people are less likely to be at CPAC so i imagine the message falling on deaf ears is not too probable.

Interesting, I did not know there was a correlation that being deaf meant you were less likely to be a conservative.

 

[TobiasFunke]

It says a lot that troll posts and attempts at serious arguments in support of Trump are indistinguishable.

 

[Bayhawks]

They shouldn't be allowed to use sources that they don't name

This from the man who built his campaign on un-named sources? 

"Many people are saying."

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Not just the inventory, but the assets as well, proceeds of a criminal enterprise, and they may also look into racketeering counts.

 

[Loan Sharks]

Agreed.  I look forward to the Republicans finally pushing through the ERA!

I doubt that will happen, the Trump administration is more focused on enforcing the existing laws and reducing regulation.

That does seem high.  It's four times as much as we'd spend for a year of Melania living in Trump Tower.

 

[TobiasFunke]

If I was leaking something to the press about the Trump administration I would give the name "John Barron" or "John Miller" from here on out.

 

[Mile High]

No, no I don't.

No problem since I'm sure you know more about the state laws then me.

I just imagine deaf conservatives are less likely to show up at a CPAC rally.

Although, it does make me wonder how Trump comes across to deaf people.  Reading a transcript of a Trump speech, or campaign rally is really an exercise in giving someone the benefit of the doubt that they're intelligent.  I wonder if deaf people or folks who are forced to read his transcripts, perhaps folks not fluent in english, have an easier time seeing through him.

These are literally the opposite things.

Clever.  His "working people" = 1%ers so, nothing has changed.

Just need a hammer and sickle for a logo, and you are set.

I call fake news.  She doesn't have a source!!!!

President tiny-hands says no unsourced reports.

 

[jonessed]

Obama got a 1,000-page $780 billion stimulus passed 28 days into his first term and announced his housing adjustment plan for foreclosing mortgages the next day.

He should have spent more time on the stimulus.  It was sold as going towards infrastructure, but very little of it actually did.  If Trump can get a legitimate infrastructure bill through in the next four years that would be great.

Better to do it right than do it fast.

I'm not saying the stimulus was perfect, I'm saying Trump hasn't gotten more done in his first 30 days.

And, citing a source, she's also wrong: (bolded & underlining emphasis added is mine)

Mainstream debate, whether from a humanitarian or nationalist point of view, assumes that refugees impose a net burden on their host countries. But empirical evidence suggests that refugees actually contribute economically to their host countries, even if this takes some years to achieve.

The Independent

The former reality show host said on Twitter: "The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security 'leakers' that have permeated our government for a long time..."

 

[Slapdash]

Bannon and Trump Are Out For Revenge

They really did dupe all these working class folks into letting get away with this.  Amazing.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

Unfortunately, our President is not God (although he might dispute that).

He is God and what you think of as God is lying to you.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

These are literally the opposite things.

He's trolling.

 

[Joe Summer]

urbanhack:

Medical seems to be completely in the clear.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Trump has talked about Medical Marijuana being beneficial for certain ailments (i.e. terminal cancer), but we have no idea if he's willing to let states and doctors decide how it can be dispensed.

 

[The Commish]

All people are equal in the eyes of god. 

Very inspiring to hear the President reinforce the fact that we are all to be treated the same. I wonder if the message of equality will fall on deaf ears. 

Can't be a message the GOP wants to hear.  They've fought this notion for a very long time.  If we're being honest, both parties fight against this when they are picking winners and losers during their policy crafting.

 

[TobiasFunke]

He's trolling.

I know, but those are both actually points of emphasis of the current administration (enforce existing law, reduce regulations) and it's fun to point out just how stupid that is.

 

[roadkill1292]

I wonder what the basement-dwelling 4chan and reddit Trumpkins think of a potential DOJ crackdown on weed? When they were wallowing in Bannon's plans for authoritarian government, did they think that only the women and brown people were gonna get crapped on?

 

[Ignoramus]

Ladies and gents... this is how we got Trump. There are 60+ million people that 'think' like this. 

Actually he's pretty spot on. The three previous administrations really could have cared less about jobs.  A lot less.

 

[Slapdash]

The longer it sat in Congress, the more the GOP replaced infrastructure with tax cuts

At least since after they freed the slaves and the suffrage movement right?

 

[Henry Ford]

The Al Bundy defense.  "Sure, look at me now, but in high school I scored four touchdowns in a single game!"

 

[Loan Sharks]

Yes yes, it is really stupid to think that there are too many regulations and few are enforced and reducing the number and actually enforcing the remaining ones is plausible.

Clearly the smart play to having a giant pile of unenforced regulations is to pile on more regs until the problem disappears. 

 

[urbanhack]

The Republican party is now and forever the party of the working people of the United States. 

What exactly has been done in the first 30 days to help the working party?

 

[The Commish]

I doubt that will happen, the Trump administration is more focused on enforcing the existing laws and reducing regulation. 

These are literally the opposite things.

 You ask me why I don't jump all over Trump supporters...this is why.  It's like using dynamite to fish with...too easy.  It bores me.

 

[Loan Sharks]

The Al Bundy defense.  "Sure, look at me now, but in high school I scored four touchdowns in a single game!"

He still won the reunion game years later and in fact beat the devil in a game rigged against him. It is dishonest to discount Al Bundys or the Republicans more recent triumphs and dwell  on only their smashing early victories. 

 

[The Commish]

In case you haven't notices, we live in a "what have you done for me lately" kind of society.  It's telling that your example goes all the way back to Lincoln era of the GOP.  Might be time to stop living in the past...or not....just a suggestion.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I gotta credit Loan Sharks for bringing the deep Bundy knowledge in his retort.

I look forward to celebrating the Republicans being sent to hell with Al Bundy's family for 300 years.
