LOL I guess if a Game Show Host is the President, a failed talk show host from the UK (and personal friend of Trump) can be considered a reliable source on American politics.
I place no consideration Piers Morgan as a reliable source. He is a celebrity 1/2 the world away that pretends to be news. But, his writing completely unrelated to here seemed to frame the nonsense spewed perfectly.
What's really amazing to me is that unlike in 2010, the economy is great. And Trump is still underwater in polls. Maybe people don't enjoy it when their President speaks like an embarrassing low life?
Agreed. Things are going FAR better than anyone could have predicted--why the low polls? The problem is, the reaction to his speaking like an embarrassing low life seems to expose others for what they really believe beyond their politically correct facade. It might be a part of his effectiveness and the only way to overcome the other side's advantages.
And while cybrguy made a lot of charges, Trump absolutely called climate change a "Chinese Hoax". As if China paid off every climate scientist and reputable scientific society/organization around the world. That is just a laughable lie.
Statements like this are a part of the problem. When you put quotes around things and say a person said it, it is supposed to be an exact quote. He absolutely did not say it was a "Chinese Hoax" as a factual matter.
But, the charge is not meant to be a factual matter, but an emotional one. The actual tweet some say is the source of the Chinese Hoax belief was:
"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."
That is the *2012* tweet. He was asked about it again in 2016 and he did not deny the tweet. What you're quoting with "Chinese Hoax" is Hillary's interpretation of the tweet. It's like seeing Russia from my front door again.
That being said, his policy on coal mining and use for energy here and abroad and the continuation of biofuel support (corn ethanol) as well as some of his infrastructure improvement choices (Highway improvement, airport improvement) indicate he is not an environmentalist. If we add in more use of government land resources, which may or may not be a problem depending on your focus, he might look even worse. But all the actual indicators reflect real world political decisions, not something to hate.
That sounds suspiciously like "rabid hatred".
Fair point. I thought so myself after reading again post post. My only defense is I take it a bit personally as I know a good person who relied on the administration's position to allow for a cannabusiness on a property he was managing as trustee and got himself and his sisters screwed out of most of their inheritance. Not a good defense, but, its all I got.
I remember you complaining about the Cole Memo because Obama was choosing not to fully enforce Federal Drug Laws. Maybe that was my mistake. I'm happy that you supported Obama taking a "hands off" approach to legalized States towards the end of his Presidency.
I won't get into this portion again. I suspect the issue is you misunderstood a technical legal argument. It is the same legal issue as related to immigration and where the cross over may have occurred. It gets to the concept of prosecutorial discretion and the difference between ignoring the law as a whole because the executive doesn't like it and choosing to enforce a law differently as an individual finding based on specific facts.
Now, to bring us back to cannabis, here's to the Democrats! (Although the headline does not really match up with the story. The person quoted to the headline's effect is Oregon Democrat Earl Blumenauer. He has been in the news recently for his "Blueprint for Action" on federal marijuana legalization.)

I will end with a paraphrased story. (If you can hear Gardner tell it, it's better.)
Sen. Cory Gardner is talking with Mitch McConnell about taxes and sharing photos of their grandchildren when Gardner brings up some of the problems with taxes and banking for cannabis businesses. He expressed to McConnell that the vast majority of states have some form of legalization already saying "Heck, even Utah is thinking about making medical legal." About that time, Orin Hatch walks by.
McConnell: "Orin! Orin! Are you hearing this? Is this true? Is Utah really going to legalize marijuana??!!"
Orin Hatch: (Shakes his head and looks down) "First tea, then coffee, now this."
(Found a clip. My paraphrase is a little off.)

) are keeping Trump from doing anything with weed. His Party controls the Federal Government. If he wanted to decriminalize, he could've pushed for it any time in the past 2 years.
