I have personally seen hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of government property destroyed through ignorance or stupidity, and I'm just one person. What a negligible amount of money to squabble over. As if we still need more evidence that somehow we ended up with the worst among us in charge.

It helps to remember that the democrats are just republicans with a different flag. They no more want to give money to anyone who isn't a C level executive or top 10% than any other politician.

Yeah, the furthest left of the Democrats are more like the NDP in Canada, and most Canadian leftists believe the NDP isn’t left enough. They’re the social democrat party basically.

The rest of the Ds fall between centrist and republicans-in-blue-ties and there are a lot more of the latter than anything else.

I'm so jealous of the legal weed crowd. Australia will get there eventually but we've still got conservatives in power with a weird Christian cult member as prime minister.

The capital Territory partially legalised 8 months ago with no noticeable effect but you still have folks clutching pearls.

I hate feeling like a criminal for having a bit of plant matter at home.

Germany will never get there.
I mean, we might see some level of decriminalization in my lifetime, but good lord, we'll take our time to even discuss legalization. The green party, which has gained quite some traction over the last year, and whose candidate for chancellor is currently traded as a very real possibility to take the office, is a proponent for legalization, but they're getting shouted down massively by all other parties, which makes the issue a bit of a poison pill for potential coalition partners to form government.

And even IF we get decriminalization or legalization, I guaran-loving-tee you that Bavaria is gonna be the last state where you'll be free to smoke up.

Yeah, I think "are normalizing" is a few decades late. It is now completely public knowledge that Jeffrey Epstein ran a world-wide child sex slavery ring complete with private island and multiple private aircraft and was associated with thousands of rich and powerful people, and absolutely nothing has come of it in other than his mysterious and questionably-legitimate "suicide". Millions of Americans don't care about any of it except the bits that could be used to imprison a narcissistic woman who ran for president against their preferred narcissistic man who ran for and became president. The hundreds of child victims are nothing to them.

Dear Joe Biden, please kill crypto and legalize the kind kale.

Diamond Joe will never federally legalize weed or even re-schedule it. He's based far too much of his political capital and life on being "tough on drugs crime."

Which is just another way of saying "those people aren't allowed to steal profits from my megadonors who make an inferior yet *legal* competitive product."

As for crypto, nothing would make me happier than hearing that someone found a way to "poison" blockchains. I know the code is designed in a way to make it all but impossible to "counterfeit" crypto, but I can't help but wonder if a deliberate bad actor couldn't find a way to corrupt things in a way that would make all currency exchange transactions fail a hash check.

Even if we accepted that carrying to term is a morally good act, and that it was a burden even slightly borne by him, and that it didn’t precipitate his victim’s suicide—three great leaps—that would still be like congratulating Hitler for killing Hitler.

I keep seeing this but its not impossible. You would need to control 50% of the bitcoin processing or whatever and you could do whatever you wanted. If something happened to drive down the number of miners to only a couple big actors, it would be very possible. Or if you managed to take control of a large number of machines somehow.

It might present a high level of difficulty but there's more than one way it could happen.

Most long-term GOP mouthpieces like Bozell have basically decided that no matter what their party is/does, the Democrats are worse, and their career depends on it. In comes Donnie, ripping off any semblance of morality to the party, and the mouthpieces' audience decided that's exactly what they want. So, you get a mouthpiece endorsing a rapist because he's up against Liz Cheney and there will never, ever be a bottom anymore.
