They are normalizing rape and pedophilia.

I have no faith in Matt Gaetz seeing consequences.

You missed the part where he married her when she was 15, divorced when she was 19, and then she committed suicide at 20.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I've been saying for a while they're going to start openly courting pedophiles. The Epstein didn't kill himself crowd don't care about his crimes; they care that it was hillary who did it.

Not at all surprised. Money doesn't create the child loving desires, it just affords the child fucker extra insulation from actual punishment.

I'd read a book of dirty laundry by Melinda after the settlement shakes out. Sure as poo poo wouldn't pay for it, but I'd read it.

My understanding of the proceedings around that is that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation exists almost solely to keep Melinda quiet until the kids were all grown and out of the house. This is a whole billionaire saga of hosed up poo poo.

In good news, you can now possess up to 2 ounces of recreational weed in Colorado.

https://www.kktv.com/2021/05/20/governor-polis-signs-bill-to-increase-marijuana-possession-limit-for-adults-in-colorado/

I mean, not that it really matters, and anyone growing their recreational plant limit is clearing a lot more than an ounce every harvest anyhow, which makes it a big gray area. But hey, looser weed laws are a nice thing and I appreciate the progress of turning electric lettuce into a commodity.

Why would there be any possession limits around a legal substance in the first place? Colorado has full commercial legalization I thought.

There are purchase limits for both medical and recreational here, though medical can be significantly higher with physician approval. There are possession limits mostly to reduce opportunistic trafficking. It's not like having over the limit is something they go looking for, but if you're stacking charges for other things, they'll add possession limit charges.

Honestly, if the federal laws changed tomorrow, possession laws would still be in play, but mostly for tax enforcement reasons. But if you're just growing for yourself and can prove it, not really a big deal.

If you want wild west of weed, you need to go to the PNW. At one point shops couldn't unload weed for $40/oz, it was just so abundant, so prices started hitting $25-30/oz. Want to say that was Portland about two, maybe three years ago. Jim Belushi grows weed out there and has a tv show about it, kinda hoping it wasn't renewed, he's hard to take in that show.

Weed out here in WA is definitely cheap compared to what I was paying in FL while I was in college. The medical stuff my friend gets in FL now is twice as expensive as the recreational equivalent out here in WA.

It's awesome that out here on the west coast everywhere you go has legal weed.

I think Oregon has the cheapest rec prices I've seen anywhere. Colorado is pretty close but there have been some real market floods out there over the past couple years.

Bill would make it so that Gold Star spouses could remarry without losing benefits. And make it retroactive.

This has "performative" written all over it.

Wow, I think I might have been proven wrong.

https://www.militarytimes.com/pay-b...-fallen-troops/

Instead of a stand-alone bill, they want to add it to the NDAA which means it has a way better chance of passing. That drat bill is a Christmas tree.

quote:

Last year, as part of the annual defense authorization bill, lawmakers dropped the age that individuals can remarry without incurring penalties from 57 to 55. Walz and bill co-sponsor Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass. and a Marine Corps Veteran, are hoping to include the new legislation in the upcoming defense policy bill for fiscal 2022.

This I didn't know about, but I left the Gold Star spouse Facebook group I got my news from because they didn't like dissenting voices and viewed disagreement as horribly rude argument. It really does underscore how arbitrary the age cutoff is.

quote:

But the issue hasn’t gotten much traction in recent years because of the potential cost of the fix.

I can certainly see how this can be an issue. The amount must be pretty considerable.

Congressional staff estimate the new bill will cost about $180 million over the next decade.

There have been some interesting developments in weed laws of Montana and South Dakota, New Mexico went recreational recently, too. The West, in general, owns. Except Idaho, loving weirdos. Wyoming will be a tough nut to crack. I'm generally indifferent to Utah because I would never move to Utah.

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