bone shaking.
soul baking.
The president is whining on twitter again that his "beleaguered ag" isn't investigating Clinton's emails or her Russian ties.

Either he doesn't know that he has the power to tell sessions directly to just do it or he has and sessions has told him there's nothing there to investigate or prosecute and his panties are in a bunch.

The president is tweeting again, this time calling for the DOJ to publicly crucify Hillary Clinton and his other political adversaries. This is normal behavior in a democracy and not at all the makings of an aspiring dictator.

On average, the surveys found that Democratic House candidates would win 82 percent to 7 percent (a 75-point margin) among respondents who disapproved of the job that Trump was doing. (The two surveys found very similar results.) Meanwhile, House Republican candidates won by an average of 78 points among respondents who approved of the job Trump was doing.

Who are these ~20% of surveyed that believe trump is doing A-OK and would vote democrat or other?

It's like devout Catholics and condoms.

Condoms are shown to decrease the abortion rate, but condoms are morally bad and therefore can't be supported, nevermind the resulting increase in abortions when condom funding is cut.

Beauregard has always been stuck in reefer madness and thinks pot is the source of societal decay, plus thinking that we only lost the war on drugs because we didn't fight hard enough.

Fun fact: having a medical weed card in CA legally makes you a "drug addict" and you will fail the NICS checks when purchasing a firearm. I wonder how that's going to come up when the public dispensaries open next year.

OhFunny posted:

Remember how Trump's Cabinet had to argue with him for almost a hour to make him sign off on the certification that Iran was following the nuclear deal? He didn't like that.

He didn't like that so much that it's not going to happen again.

He's sidelined Tillerson and the State Department and created a task force to push for reasons to decertificy Iran at the next review. Guess who two of the members are? Bannon and Gorka.

It will still be illegal, just as it has been:

It shall be unlawful for any person—
who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance
to ... possess ... any firearm or ammunition.
18 USC 922(g)(3)

I wouldn't think public dispensaries would require registration, so that would make it harder for the feds to get the evidence that a person is a marijuana user.

Whether it makes any difference will depend on how much effort the feds want to put into it, either on the ATF side or the DEA side.

I know the dispensaries in WA state very specifically do not make any copies of, nor do they note anything about your ID (required to prove age, I think,) but they also only accept cash, so there is no way for the Feds to chase down a customer. (And more importantly for them, no records for them to keep, outside of sales records for taxes.)

I'm sure Kalifornia will be more than happy to legally require a paper trail so that you cannot exercise all of your rights.

I wonder how much of the diehard MAGAwarrior Tea-hadist support one Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III can manage to peel off by being a stupendous poo poo bag and cracking down on legal marijuana. Won't happen among the olds because "IT'S THE DEVIL'S GATEWAY DRUG" and all, but I have to think some of the poo poo head reddit supporters will change their minds about supporting him. They'll never admit to that of course, they'll just go silent and pretend to not care about politics anymore but that's probably the best this timeline has to offer.
