If you reverse the order, I think thatās what Boehnerās pulled off.
Drop out of Congress
Tune in to what ordinary people care about
Turn on your previous platform.
āI donāt know why they decided to do this,ā Boehner told Bloomberg. āIt could be that the attorney general is trying to force the Congress to act.ā
OK, if thatās the kind of insight heās offering, this companyās in trouble. Sessions is doing it to hurt the colored, and he isnāt sophisticated enough to plan beyond the next time he cleans behind his ears.
Sounds like his liver doctor wrote him a prescription.
And finally, I understand weed is a great way to come off the bottle.
Aaaand I see @callmeeric beat me to it.

Itās the money. Maybe now some of us can understand, though, how evangelicals feel about trump.
Meanwhile, did anyone else also notice the Squire Patton Boggs connection?

What the fuck else would it be? Of course itās the money. Thatās why my dealer does it and itās still illegal here.

Between tax revenue on selling it and how much we save for not prosecuting/jailing for it, thereās simply too much money in recreational cannabis for people to pass up. And thatās before you get into how good it can be as a medical product.

Yes - the saving grace and I always knew it would be. I used to say back in the early oughts that if they wanted to get rid of the budget deficit all they had to do was legalize weed.
Colorado is rolling in money. And as far as I can tell, there are no downsides.

From the moment he sauntered in the presser to announce his resignation from congress singing zip-a-dee-doo-dah I knew that is wasnāt just tobacco in those cigarettes he was smoking. This is a strange year keeps getting stranger.
Absolutely. Donāt give these bastards an ounce of credit. Heās going to campaign in the fall for GOP candidates. He remains the enemy. Stockholm Syndrome to think any other way.

Actually, heās doing it to help private, for-profit prisons.
While Sessions doesnāt directly own stock in private prisons, he does have close ties to the industry.
Of course, it could very well be both. Hurting people of color while making a profit is an Alabama two-fer.

Well, he always was big on taking lobbyist money. So heās gone from tobacco to weed. I think heāll be happier pushing weed, figuratively speaking of course.

Well itās certainly healthier and I suspect he will be happier.
Obviously, heās in it for the easy money.

Yeah it is - good job.
@euglena4056 - of course thatās why - there is a lot of money and not much to do to get it.
Yep, really you just have to stop prosecution to be rolling in it. And thatās before you finagle to legalization to benefit bigger growers/corporations.

Gotta make up for that 1.2 trillion dollar hole Republicans just created nationwide some kind of way. This is as good as anyā¦and the taxes that pot will help to raise in revenues by individual states is about the only offset they have left. There are only so many lotteries and toll roads you can build to get money back into those state coffers because this Federal Govāt sure isnāt going to help much going forward, not with this Bozo as President. Gotta say, its nice to see its not just a progressive lefty thing anymore.
