We need a real progressive third party candidate in 2016!

Someone that will take votes from the Democrat and allow a Republican to win. Then we can obliterate Obamacare, attack Iran and put some real right wing assholes on the Supreme Court!

Yours Truly

Congress quietly ends federal ban on medical marijuana

Tucked deep inside the 1,603-page federal spending measure is a provision that effectively ends the federal government's prohibition on medical marijuana and signals a major shift in drug policy..

The bill's passage over the weekend marks the first time Congress has approved nationally significant legislation backed by legalization advocates. It brings almost to a close two decades of tension between the states and Washington over medical use of marijuana.

Under the provision, states where medical pot is legal would no longer need to worry about federal drug agents raiding retail operations. Agents would be prohibited from doing so.

just went to wallmart for the first time in years (by choice)

There have been times I realized I needed something for class and they were the only ones open. But I actually went in there today and bought a gallon of milk and some cat food.

Anyway, thanks Walmart.

Jeez that still feels weird.

Regarding that Nobel Peace Prize.

I, like I believe the president himself, do not think the Nobel Committee made the right choice when they gave him the Peace Prize. However, if he reaches a nuke deal with the Iranians and prevents another major war, then he will have earned it.

what are they going to do next, start ordering military units around?

Seriously, who the fuck do the Republicans in the Senate think they are? They decided to be Israelis last week. Now they are crashing diplomatic negotiations with hostile foreign powers. They are going to twist off into crazier and crazier weirdness. What does James Baker or Bush Sr. think about this shih? Holy shit just wow.
Ok I feel better.

I have a feeling that we are seeing the tip of the iceberg

I mean I think the thing is about to come uncorked. Racist fraternities are about to get some real exposure. Just a feeling.

sniper movies and shit

I saw American Sniper. Good movie, not a great movie. Certainly wasn't some big political statement. And It was nowhere near as good as this, as far as sniper movies go.

regarding godwin and whatnot

Certain people and movements in history do seem to cross some sort of depravity threshold. Pol Pot and piles of skulls come to mind. I think the ISIS loons crossed it for sure with their snuff films and mass beheadings. This thing is not unique but it is rare, though not rare enough.

the thing nobody wants to really talk about. and for good reason

it is so unpleasant. but those motherfuckers have or had an American woman. We may need to brace ourselves for something up until now unthinkable.
