Not legalizing allows Texas police to decide who they want to put charges on vs who they don't. I truly believe this is part of the reason many places keep these laws around. Hell that dumb Kennedy kid in MA was arguing against legalization because it made weed smell not useful to police during stops to justify a search.

RFC2324 posted:I just have to ask, was "that dumb Kennedy kid in MA" Justice Kennedy? Joe Kennedy III https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2018/03/30/25976878/the-great-white-nope-joe-kennedy-iii-disqualifies-himself Article quotes an interview with Ezra Klein, (bolding mine): quote:JOE KENNEDY III: So this one, um, this one’s a tough one for me. My views are not do not exactly line up with my own state and it’s something I’m struggling with. I think, look, there’s—when it comes to legalization of marijuana, if that’s something that society has decided that we want to do, fine. I think we’ve got to be really careful about what exactly that means and how we do it. So, we decriminalized it when I was in the court system, when I was trying cases, or shortly thereafter, if I remember the years right, in Massachusetts. When we decriminalized it it actually had a pretty big consequence for the way that Massachusetts prosecutors went about trying cases in terms of—because an odor of marijuana was, at last initially, because marijuana was an illegal substance, if you smelled it in a car, you could search a car. When it became decriminalized you couldn’t do that. So that was the way that we hadn’t—the base case that prosecutors used to search cars for under cover contraband, guns, knives, a whole bunch of other stuff, all of that got thrown out the window. That’s not to say that’s right or wrong, but that is to say that when that went through a public referendum, which is how that law was passed, I don't think anybody had much though to you’re actually gonna change one of the foundational principles for law enforcement that we use in our court system. 2 years later he reversed his position shortly before another election cycle and lost. His position change I believe was entirely due to polling.

I think I posted it before but if you can get your head around enjoying Michael Jackson's music then you can watch a video from Beau and get something out of it (if you want).

Jones is malicious, self centered, cunning and charasmatic. You don't need one iota of actual intelligence to be halfway successful if you have all of that together and are a straight white male who gives no fucks about consequences or repercussions. Our whole society is basically designed to cater to that at present.

Elviscat posted:The ammo companies have figured out that they can keep production steady and fleece buyers every time a Dem gets elected too, rather than increasing production to meet demand, Winchester's profits quintupled to $120M last quarter, for example. It's mostly this. Getting into firearms a few years ago really opened my eyes to just how volatile guns and ammo markets are and 100% of it is driven by paranoia and herd behavior. It's amazingly easy to see coming. Really getting into grifting your average right winger has to be one of the lowest effort / highest reward things there is to do.

facialimpediment posted:In 2018, a Democratic wave year, Romney won his seat 62-31. It's a PVI R+13 state, roughly equivalent to Tennessee and Alabama. Democrats aren't competing in that Senate race, even in a Democratic wave year, and 2022 ain't gonna be that with Biden in power. Republicans are running an incumbent, not the next coming of Roy Moore. Hey yeah let the GOP know in advance to spend the money elsewhere I guess.
