Discussion: Rhode Island Gubernatorial Candidate Arrested With 48 Pounds Of Marijuana

Yeah it does. It describes them perfectly as they are getting started in their careers by committing misdemeanors. After awhile it was kind of spooky how many of those people I represented who were clearly developmentally disabled and therefore hapless and had no judgment to speak of but were very gullible.

Oh hell, look at your co-workers who are functional. They are employable, reproduce, but are insane.
The functional insane.

I happen to be somewhat acquainted with these two individuals. While it may seem that the jokes write themselves, I can assure you that there is nothing funny about it for them or their families, who would dearly love to be able to help them get on a better path in life.

Seriously I was cooling my heels in a courtroom once, waiting for a trial I was covering to begin, and they were arraigning these people and it was heartbreaking. They all seemed lost in the world, no idea how to make their way forward outside of petty crimes. Decades later I can still remember the sinking feeling when you see people destined to have a really hard life. : (

If she were a white Republican male, it wouldn’t make a dent. See: Chris Collins.

O totally.

I was in Criminal Clinic my last semester of law school. We got student law licenses that were just like student drivers’ licenses - you could practice law if you had a licensed lawyer with you. We had a deal with a misdemeanor judge that we would be the lawyers of the day in his court once a week, so we got appointed to every case that was on the docket just about.

It was at times terribly sad. But I wasn’t a social worker and all I could do is make the best deal for them I could with the Asst. DA.

Shit, just marijuana? At least they weren’t peddling some of the really bad stuff — like, say, Republican policies.

Ain’t that the truth.

You think the AP got it wrong?

At any rate, she’s a real blow to claims that there are no harmful side effects even after many years of heavy use. Or…just the kind of crazy that makes life interesting and humans fascinating.

Much better to claim that you were only ā€œholding it for another cartel.ā€

And who says it has to be illegal?

You go wit’cha bad selves, Rhode Island. Free life! Free enterprise! First colony to renounce the English King.

Show those conservatives that ā€œless governmentā€ means ā€œbutt the hell out, we’re not bothering anyone.ā€

We’re with you.

That was my immediate thought as well. because well, we all know that Killary was a bigger corporate stooge than Trump, so helping Trump helps us all get to some kind of revolution, well someho…

ok, time for another bong hit…

Two observations:

  1. Her rallies must be lit.
  2. I hope she says the following to the judge:
    ā€œI like weed. Do you like weed? I smoke a lot of weed. In high school I might have smoked weed, but I never lost consciousness. I just went to sleep. This whole thing has been a nightmare and is a conspiracy to keep me from becoming governor. It is the result of people who are angry that I am winning this election and they are also trying to get revenge for the…uh…for that pedophile from Alabama who lost his election . Yeah, that’s it. Well, don’t forget that what goes around comes aroundā€¦ā€
