Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Anything that will be done can be undone. It doesn’t matter if he legalizes it federally, that shits going back to full ban day one
Not entirely sure that a major majority of Republicans are against it.
Dems really somehow let the Republicans become the anti establishment party in less than 20 years after GW, while run an idiot who failed upwards because of inherited wealth...
I kept saying the last three elections were like Brewster's Millions, but as much money as the wealthy throw at both parties, it might be time to question if they're just paying the Dems to lose. And even when they do manage to win, it's at best Joe Biden.
Not even saying the DNC is being paid to take a fall. Just that the donors throwing crazy money at primaries know that the neoliberal doesn't have a chance in the general.
They just don't want anyone that will fix shit getting close to a general election. So they make sure the Dem in the general is one the vast majority of Dem voters hate.
That doesn't much matter when the psychotic theocrats are going to be the ones in the positions of power
I disagree. Ultimately, republicans want 3 things: money, power, and exclusivity. If they can somehow make tons of money off marijuana when no one else can, they would be all for it. Basically they perpetually want Rules for Thee Not for Me.
So maybe they would revert it, but if they could find a way to make it theirs only, they would.
It would have to generate more money than the associated prison sentences generate, and the value of slave labor is about to skyrocket.
That's in fact precisely what John "crying orange leather face" Boehner did
Clearly we should never do anything.
trump cant recharge pardoned people. And he cant recreate purged and deleted records. He also cant retake equipment thats been given to partners on a 4 year lease.
