If you smoke the weed, you have the 🅱ig gay

Trump already proffered a bipartisan DACA deal (which would've cost him his entire base if he was serious) and the Dems balked.

No Devpav, CBD is an extract, not a synthetic

@devpav The point is flying over your head

constantly and consistently

Your point is that the Dems will somehow deal with Trump to legalize marijuana and my point is that the Dems are too crazy for that.

Nope, thats not his point

No, my point is that the Democrats will either implode on refusing to pass a weed deal or will have to concede something to Trump

I am BANKING on the Dems being crazy

I'm banking on the Dem House not passing anything for 2 years.

it will for sure be interesting to watch

lots of shutdowns coming

which isn't a bad thing necessarily, as i don't think the trump administration will behave the same way the obama admin did, which was to try to make shutdowns as painful for citizens as possible.

I remember when I thought that a government shutdown was going to be like the Purge. I was a little retard back then.

I think the Democrats are more likely to be dysfunctional for the same reasons the Republicans had problems passing things. The centrists and the far left will disagree. I'd love to see a centrist Speaker and therefore the ability to develop bipartisan legislation. The Republicans for years have operated on the principle that nothing passes the House without enough Republican votes to pass without Democrat help. I hate that.

It'd be nice to once again see stuff go through because they have the votes period rather than requiring the votes of just one party.

So much could get done if the leaders permit alliances from issue to issue.

**dysfunctional fur**

Blame autocorrect

My phone has a sense of humor

the government getting stuff done means you have less freedoms, less rights, and those will now be near impossible to get back.

legal weed would violate a number of treaties, unfortunately

It didn't stop Canada

or Uruguay

nonetheless, we would be well-advised to consider scrapping or rewriting those treaties anyway

they are, after all, treaties we impose on other nations, for the most part

The anti drug treaties? Oh yeah, we most certainly did.

Speaking of the far left, I feel as though Ocasió-Cortez is a test run to see if he far left has any real power

Because let’s face it, she’s pretty much the face of that part of the party

it's not much of a test - her district will always vote D, no matter how stupid

Thats why its a test

If she cant convince the most hardcore democrat voters then what chance does she have on the national stage?

Wasnt there another democrat on the ballot, the one that was in office before?

i think so

as Independent, yes

not as a Democrat

and he was a powerful figure, in point of fact
