Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
This is the very definition of irony.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayDr Oz: "This is corruption on the underlying system ... when everyone is doing it, that's a real pathology. Bc if you're not part of the corrupt system, you're a fool. When I'm lying to you & you know I'm lying & I know that you know that I'm lying, & on & on & on, that's how countries collapse."
Breaking News! Code Bonkers! As of August 3rd, Nino 3.4 has crossed 2.5°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. The Climate Casino predicted August 1st for this crossing and now has a lot of fake-bets to pay out. Was the fix in? Next up, 3.0°C by August 21st.

APPLEBAUM: If Russians stop fighting, war is over. If Ukrainians stop fighting, Ukraine is over. Ukraine doesn’t exist anymore. So, they have no choice, but to fight. Ukrainians have to continue fighting to defend their country. That’s what Trump has just resisted understanding.
Trump couldn't end the lockdowns without Fauci's approval?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoBASH: You have been placing nearly all the blame for how the US handled covid on Dr Fauci. But he worked for President Trump. Does Trump also deserve some of the blame? RFK Jr: Well, President Trump wanted to end the lockdowns. Lockdowns did the most damage
BROWDER: Basically, Putin and every single person who serves in Russian government do it for money. The higher you are, the more money you make. There's not a single person who ever goes into public service to serve public of Russia. It's one big kleptocracy, a criminal machine.
Trump and his friends are following Putin's strategy exactly.
Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social · 4d agoBROWDER: Over long period of time, Putin and thousand people around him have stolen 1 trillion dollars from Russian state. And the reason why people live a bad life in Russia is because that money should have been spent on schools, hospitals, roads and public services.

Imagine being so uptight about trans people that you ban a paper doll that nobody was going to use. These people need to look up "The Streisand Effect."
Facts: * The GOP is okay with socialism as long as the GOP does it. * Debt is only bad when Democrats are in charge. * Biden was the president when the CHIPS Act passed.
ZELENSKYY: In Radushne near Kryvyi Rih, ballistic missile hit ordinary house of ordinary family. Children died, parents. In Radushne, Russians used ballistic missile from North Korea, these are preliminary data. Alliance of Moscow scum with crazy regime in North Korea is for the sake of missiles,
ZANDI: “.. The longer the Iran war drags on, .. the more likely .. consumers are to pull back — and take the rest of the economy with them.”
Putin knows the whole world has turned against him, and he's not going down without a fight.
“Tariffs were pitched as the fix for America’s trade deficit. Instead… Last 18 Months: –$1.80 trillion deficit in Goods. 18 Months Prior: –$1.74 trillion deficit in Goods. The deficit didn’t shrink. It increased 4%.” - Bilello
I can't wait for the magas to start pointing out that Dr. Fauci didn't invoke the 5th as many times as Trump has.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."
