Is it looking like they were gonna lose re-election or something? some probably are. also by all accounts congress is a really lousy place to work right now. some of it is just that it creates a narrative by talking about all these people quitting, which lets people imply somethin that may not be the case. we'd have to look at the baseline quitting rates (and when those quittings are announced); after all with 535 congressfolk you'd expect quite a few to resign every election cycle. | ||

It is like the House of Lords - very chaotic & very noisy & there are a ton of committees and debates going on simultaneously have you actually watched much c-span? cuz I have, and it's very chaotic, very noisy, with tons of committees doing stuff simultaneously; and that is very evident from the viewing of such. so it seems odd that you'd say it's different from cspan, then describe how it does indeed appear on cspan. | ||

He should be fed hash oil intravenously while a mix of vodka and mushrooms is pumped into his shriveled anus if you're talking about the marijuana issue, idiot. on some others it'd be the evil. and we've got a lot of cretins in US politics, I'm doubtful he'd reach the "biggest" level. | ||

1) he's taking 8-figure bribes from the legal opiate industry for which he should be executed via guillotine. First a small one for his little dick, then a big one for his ugly head 2) he's hellbent on keeping black people in prison for nothing so they can work as slaves for the corporate-prison industry for which he should be raped by Francis Ngannou while Alistar Overeem is powerfucking his face I'm positively enraged when politicians specifically act against the economic, existential and medical interests of the community just because they are corrupt little shits. Off with his head! User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Off with his head! I enjoyed this post thoroughly. I think both are true to some extent (lesser or greater, I don't know), so it is only fair he should receive both punishments, right? There are probably other crimes as well. More punishments are needed. Build up from something small like fingernails. | ||

Off with his head! It's early, but this is my favorite for post of the year. Not sure why more people don't feel this way yet.

I'm guessing a majority of white men his age are opposed to legalization, no corruption is required. Corruption is probably the more favorable explanation rather than him being so staunchly opposed to facts and science, but you're right that rank stupidity is probably more likely. | ||

It's the dumbest war in the history of the universe. It's bad for the people, it's bad for the economy, it's terrible for Mexico, blacks, browns, hippies, artists, children, dogs, the elderly. It puts hundreds of thousands of innocent people in prison, out of jobs, on a downward spiral. It makes people live in pain and suffer from debilitating illnesses that could be addressed for like 10$ a day in sunny Colorado. Weed is the best medicine you can take for roughly 10% of human problems. Everything from treating chemo symptoms to having good sex to exercising with focus. It's also fucking delicious. I want to roll Sessions up like a blunt and smoke his vile snollygostering soul Shang Tsung style | ||
