So she plans in taking about it even after the election?

Normalize personal freedom again. If you don’t have personal freedoms you ain’t free in the least. Fuck all cops and the idea you can control me. Fuck you! I do what I want!

It's ridiculous that it's even up for debate at this point. Regulation and taxation will increase government revenue, keep potheads out of jail, and potentially calm people the fuck down. Oh no, those people over there are making themselves feel slightly light headed and good feeling! What a bunch of bastards!

But then how will we criminalize a massive swath of our population and fill up all of the for-profit prisons?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yo check this out. First, we stop sending them, saving tax dollars. Then, we release the ones inside, saving tax dollars. Then, we make it recreationally legal, creating tax dollars. Then we fuckin’ ban for profit prisons lol

The US policy on pot has 100% negatively impacted our ability to defend in cyberspace.

Just legalize it (and psychedelics) already.

Trump told the crowd, "One rough hour, and I mean real rough, the word will get out, and it will end immediately. End immediately. You know, it'll end immediately."

You see, we shoot them in the head to send a message. /s

I think we should start adopting all of Trump's shitty day-one policies.

  • We win, the purge starts on domestic terrorists for a day, terrorism will 'end immediately'
  • Kamala gets to be dictator day one only, like how trump says. She deports all republicans to the nations of their ancestors.
  • Courts packed with 29 more SCOTUS justices.
  • Build a wall between Texas and the US

If all of this is fine for Trump to do, then why not Kambala??

She deports all republicans to the nations of their ancestors.

😂 🤣

She deports all republicans to the nations of their ancestors.

Believe me, they don't want these people either. However, my understanding is Russia has open arms for disenfranchised Republicans. Please, don't let me stop you. No taksies backsies though.
