I’m just saying I would like to see a man beat a woman in a cage. Just to be sure.

The point of that is that Heroin is much more dangerous to use than marijuana, which has an LD50 that's not even established, and ostensibly the point of a drug scheduling system is to limit access to more dangerous drugs.

Morphine is schedule II and you can easily kill yourself with it, while weed is schedule I for purely political reasons

Getfiscal knows that too

every kid that's ever did a paper on weed legalization has made that point

Sure is, but we've got over a century of knowledge on exactly how lethal heroin is and how to mitigate overdose, which is not something that we have for fentanyl and definitely not something we have for the new non-fentanyl opioids like nitazenes that have the potential to be cooked up in small labs from precursors that can't be easily controlled, and the current model of prohibition just seems to lead to that kind of substitution.

Making heroin Schedule I instead of II like morphine was also for purely political reasons, because it can't be seriously claimed that it has no legitimate medical uses.

That's great, but marijuana is probably a schedule III at most and should not be on the same schedule as heroin, for purely pharmacological reasons.

Cannabis probably shouldn't be scheduled, and heroin nasal spray is safer than morphine for treating acute pain in children, both can be true, so maybe the entire scheduling system is just a bunch of stacked moral panics and political favors.

Washington Examiner posted:

The Trump campaign flipped the script on allegations of a "quid pro quo" between President Trump and Ukraine, instead labeling former Vice President Joe Biden as "Quid Pro Joe" and alleging the whistleblower is politically motivated.

"The Democrats are trying to DESTROY the Republican Party and all that it stands for," the Sunday email to supporters read. "In 2016, millions of hard-working Americans, like you, were called 'deplorable.' Now, the Left is calling you “DESPICABLE.” What’s really despicable is the gross double standard the corrupt Democrats are giving QUID PRO JOE."

Prior to the release of the transcript, Trump was accused of arranging a quid pro quo between himself and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The president allegedly promised to provide them with the $391 million in military aid that had already been approved by Congress but was being held up in exchange for the Ukrainian president's promise to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. The transcript revealed no explicit quid pro quo agreement upon its release.

The topic of Hunter Biden's work with Burisma, a gas company based in Ukraine, had previously been investigated and no evidence of wrongdoing on his part was discovered. While vice president, however, Biden threatened to withhold U.S. aid to Ukraine if that country did not fire a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.

"The 'whistleblower' had NO direct knowledge of the call AND he is in favor of one of the corrupt 2020 Democrats. Total political bias!" the fundraising pitch later stated. The CIA officer who filed the whistleblower complaint in August based the entirety of it recounting second- and third-hand accounts of situations and conversations, there has been no indication that the whistleblower was politically motivated. Trump and the Republican National Committee have raked in millions in fundraising since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry against the president last week.

As dreadful a person as Walker is in almost every respect, I feel worse for him than I do for a lot of GOP ghouls. There is clearly something deeply, deeply wrong with this person, less in the traditional crazy right-wing way (like MTG) and more like my grandmother who died from dementia.

looks like a sketch comedy show from the mid-2010s. there are probably snl sketches from the early 90s with a similar vibe, just less overtly nasty. idiotic small-mindedness can be convergent evolution (or lack thereof) instead of spread from place to place, though

Show me where in the constitution is says a state can't seceded because the other states are big meanies. Not even a Supreme Court ruling, buddy.

It’s not the constitution but the other holy scripture of the founders does literally begin with “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…”

It’s fun pretending to ignore slavery entirely and read someone like Calhoun be entirely correct about how terrible northern capital was.
