I mean that's my point

The federal background check process gives somebody a reason to care, and enables them the constitutional reach to do it

Does it mean they will? Maybe not, but I've heard of people getting whacked on a clearance form two years after the fact, it's clearly not a rubberstamp process and if there's something to find they'll find it. Why even take the chance?

i was more poking fun at the assertion that dispensary ATMs are feeding withdrawal data directly to LEOs, like the NSA is maintaining a database of 'this guy bought weed in a medical/legalized MJ state'

something I've seen come up already online is how fubar it's gonna be for divorced parents with kids.

most divorced parents agree to alternating years for tax credits if they share custody, and the IRS isn't splitting payments per parent, so the payments will go to one ex who's supposed to split it with the other ex.

AAAAAAAAA

Holy poo poo, I never thought of that. The tax credits AND the stimmy are gas on heated divorces.

Biden did say he'd decriminalize marijuana, didn't he? I didn't imagine it? Like, he said no one should be in jail for smoking pot: https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2019/05/16/joe-biden-nobody-should-be-in-jail-for-smoking-marijuana/

And he tweeted this:
https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1196577576644415489

And this is from his website:

quote:

Decriminalize the use of cannabis and automatically expunge all prior cannabis use convictions. Biden believes no one should be in jail because of cannabis use. As president, he will decriminalize cannabis use and automatically expunge prior convictions. And, he will support the legalization of cannabis for medical purposes, leave decisions regarding legalization for recreational use up to the states, and reschedule cannabis as a schedule II drug so researchers can study its positive and negative impacts.

So like... hows that going? I know you're busy Joe but can I get a time frame on when you're gonna do this???

Jail is where people go before their trial; prison is where people go after conviction. No one should be in jail for marijuana use, the should be in prison for marijuana use.

my brother in law was soft-bitching about this on the phone from prison yesterday, lol

while the Biden admin fought heroically to means test this check, they also fought heroically to make sure everyone in the prison system no matter how heinous also got their stimmy, so look forward to those ads in the leadup to november 2022

in the time between this tweet and Biden getting elected they literally removed marijuana reform as a plank of the democratic party, while he has trended harder and harder towards 1980s joe, which is probably the mode he is stuck on now that his brain has turned to mush

liberals are so goddamn dumb

I had a conversation with my parents about how Biden being president is somehow good for stopping the pandemic.

The response seems to amount to "it's important that our political leaders tell us to wear masks." I asked "do you seriously think anyone who didn't wear a mask because Trump told them not to is going to listen to Biden?" The response to that was to basically just re-assert that it matters.

Most liberals just have a gut feeling that "having smart people in charge" is super important, and they think Biden is putting smart people in charge.

turning a runaway slave over to slave catchers because rules are meant to be followed, and the issue is that the rules haven't been changed yet

it's out of my hands, I tell the Jew hiding under my neighbor's floorboards as I point them out to the SS. Rules are meant to be followed! Try to get this rule changed from wherever it is they take you

I understand and share this impulse but it abruptly cuts off for me as soon as action fails to materialize from words and I don't understand how the gently caress it isn't the same for these people

I watched a thing about Flight 571 recently, and the current state of american politics sounds a lot like a bunch of people milling around outside a crashed plane on the mountainside shouting down every negative voice with "RESCUE IS COMING, WE NEED TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD" mere weeks before being forced to cannibalize each other for survival
