Florida's state house just passed a medical marijuana bill that doesn't allow for people to smoke pot.

Poppyseed Poundcake posted:That isn't abnormal. Other states do the same. VAPE LIFE It's got a number of head scratchers in the bill. There's no allowance any smokable cannabis of any kind, no edibles greater than 10mg, extremely restricted supply chain that essentially preserves the low-thc oligarch for at least 3-4 years. One of the senators that proposed a worse bill and was the architect of the low-thc bill owns one of the 7 producers. And yes, they allow vaping through whatever delivery system your dispensary sells, but a number of the most common methods of oil extraction are strictly prohibited. It does have some good parts. It expands slightly the constitutional amendment's things that are covered to include chronic non-malignant pain and PTSD plus gives a bunch of funding for research and treatments. Then it has stuff in there such as daily restrictions and limits of a max of a 70 day supply. Essentially restricting the amount to a level where it really isn't effective. Meanwhile Colorado and Washington are bringing in billions in tax revenue. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 20:10 on May 2, 2017 |

psydude posted:Typical GiP doom and gloom aside, I doubt it'll ever make it through the Senate. What this did accomplish is give Democratic candidates in swing districts plenty of ammunition. The senate is apparently drafting their own bill, but I have no doubt that it passes. They will kill the filibuster if they cannot get a deficit neutral plan for reconciliation.

lightpole posted:Even Yurtle the Turtle has no interest in getting rid of the filibuster for anything else and he would have a hard time getting support to do so. Then the Senate bill would have to be voted on in the House before it goes to Trump. They would have to do it under reconciliation and that's going to be quite a stretch. There's no reason to believe that McConnel won't nuke the filibuster if that's the only way this can pass. There's zero reason for republicans to keep it and just  if you think they give a gently caress about decorum.

Do you know how you provide a stool sample? Because it isn't by fishing it out of the water. They give you what looks like a plastic cowboy hat that sits in the bowl. You poo poo in that, then scoop into a little sample cup that has a spoon attached to the lid or with something similar. It looks like this:

Neither one is easy and since the take home is just to make sure you don't have something horribly wrong with your intestines, I skip it. The VA and a local GI specialist both gave me the plastic cowboy hats. Sorry about your health provider.

His clearance wasn't revoked because he wasn't fired for being in bed with Russians. After he separated from the military, his clearance went inactive just like anyone else's. It probably wasn't worth the hassle to revoke an inactive clearance and it was on the Trump clock that his clearance would have been reactivated.

Flynn got caught up in the bear trap, but instead of a trap that snaps shut quickly and anchors him, it's one that slowly and almost unnoticeably closed around him. I'm sure it started small, with something seemingly innocuous. Gifts continued and other such things happened around him until one day he was too far in. It's not like he just flipped a switch and went "da comrade" overnight. The Russians have probably been massaging him for years and years to get to this point.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:I know. I don't believe that Flynn flipped. I think that he just got very slowly massaged over a decade plus until it snowballed to something large enough that he was hosed. It certainly started small and built up over time. It doesn't change the good that he did before it all went to hell. At least that's the best story I can come up with to make you feel better.

orange juche posted:Can senate dems even block an appointment of a new FBI director since republicans killed the appointment fillibuster over the supreme court justice? Filibuster was already dead for non-supreme court appointees. There's nothing that could have been done to stop Gorsuch or anyone else at all. The filibuster is and has been dead and will not be coming back. The only way to stop appointment of anyone right now is if a few republicans senators say no.

orange juche posted:It's a simple message but lmao it won't stick because trumpsters won't let it stick and noone opposing Trump on the republican side has enough guts to make it happen. 23 dems, 8 republicans, and 2 independents are up for election in the senate in 2018. The republicans are Jeff Flake - Arizona, Roger Wicker - Mississippi, Deb Fischer - Nebraska, Dean Heller - Nevada, Bob Corker - Tennessee, Raphael Cruz - Texas, Orrin Hatch - Utah, John Barrasso - Wyoming. There are a lot of dems up, though, that come from republican leaning states. There is real risk of a republican supermajority in 2018.

Genocide Tendency posted:Wait.. I thought it was because he was too aggressive with "Hillary's Emails"... No the AG and DAG letters specifically said that Comey overstepped his authority by saying there would be no prosecution and that the case was closed. It was wrong to have a press conference about any of it, and these actions erode the faith in the office. Like seriously, that's the reason.

lightpole posted:Impeachment doesn't happen overnight, wouldn't the GOP have to retain control of the house in 2018 for that to happen? My girl Nancy gonna be pres! If Trump/Pence are going to be impeached, it's not going to be in the last two years of office. Either the full scope of the FBI investigation is going to come out and they go down with it, or it gets buried and they go nowhere. Also at democrats taking the house.

Missionary Positron posted:Here's a hypothetical: what happens if both Trump & Pence get impeached, and thrown out of office? Does Paul Ryan serve out as the acting prez for the remaining years of Trump's presidency, or will there be new elections ASAP? It's not a hypothetical. We already have a succession act. If T&P are both out, Ryan is president full stop. If he's out, too, it's Orrin Hatch from the senate.

Missionary Positron posted:That seems, uh, kind of dumb. I can understand it from an emeregency perspective, i.e. potus/vp both die somehow and continuity of government needs to be secured, but wouldn't impeachment etc. be a textbook example of a scenario where new elections would also be wholly appropriate? That's not how it works. They made an elaborate line of succession because they were planning on nuclear war with russia. Also, so not to completely clutter the CE thread with tweets and poo poo, I made a trump tinfoil thread for people to sit back like I am agape at the fact that the entire republican party has been funneling russian money through it for years. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3820146

brains posted:i find it hard to believe that they were straight up turned by russian agents. i give a lot of credit to the russians in this area- they have proven themselves exceptional talented at influencing and targeting individuals (sometimes literally) while avoiding direct evidence of their involvement. i think it's more likely that these three were either morally bankrupt, too stupid, or both to care where the money was actually coming from. that is by no means is to suggest that they are innocent- of course they had to suspect something was up, and i'm sure we'll see something down the line like evidence they were "approached out of nowhere" by some russia-affiliated group who suddenly wanted to put them on payroll. Paul Manafort was straight up working for Viktor Yanukovych before Trump.

He just registered the domain as soon as he saw it looking for it rather than seeing what happened if it resolved first. The worm writers could have very easily just included a "delete everything" if it touched that site. So he's accidentally a hero, but his work breaking down the worm is drat good regardless.

Kawasaki Nun posted:The Wannacry hack seems uh, a bit uh, visible? Like I understand that that it was just a mashing of a lame virus and a great, NSA tier exploit together, but it seemed to me like a particularly brash and stupid move? Like There is not a more visible way of emphasizing the vulnerability of tons of systems to this exploit than to attach ransomware to it. Looking forward to seeing more analysis of how it was initially launched and what the purpose was. Getting 28 people to send 300$ worth of bitcoin to the perpetrators seems ridiculously undervalued for the scope and breadth of systems that were accessed by the DEEPBLUE exploit or whatever. Seems suspect that this was just some jackass spoiling the pot because they could. This was expected to hit a lot more people. The only reason tens of thousands more systems around the globe didn't get hit is the guy registering the hardcoded URL that triggered the test environment shutdown of the worm.
