About time states stood up to the the feds on more than just cannabis.

Mis Suegros drove to LA to apply for naturalization for my wife and her brothers. My co-worker from Mexicali was very proud of taking the citizenship test and becoming an American. Fuck illegals. Supporting them is disrespectful to everyone who put in the hard work to do it right.

Fuck other countries, have some pride and fly an American flag first.

I've realized it's true that Texas is very close to the bottom of states for personal freedoms.

Some damn Christian nationalist conservatives apparently used chatGPT to list every friggin plant that has ever been used or considered to be used as any sort of drug or hallucinogenic. Maybe some by native Americans back in the day I don't know. Most I'd heard of but not in that way. At. All.

They are about to pass a bill to not only ban them, allow your property to be confiscated if you have them but also criminalize them as pentalty-1: I think >300 grams is life in prison but that might 99 and life is >400 grams.

These plants are wild all over Texas. I think they removed it but one was Texas Mountain Laurel which is just a sort of scrub tree with nice looking purple flowers. All over my dad's yard.

Another is thornapple which nobody in their right mind would ever take and is a scourge for ranchers because it fucks up their cattle. You literally lose your mind, sometimes for good from that shit. It is not pleasant or fun.

Marigolds too I think? A bunch of stuff. Just ban ban ban... Criminalize criminalize criminalize.

Instead of doing good things like maybe finally fixing the effed up health care in this state - other than the weather and food the only thing I miss about leaving CA. Well, and friends too I suppose.

The bill's sponsor is a fucking CPA.

Yeah, we can have guns and it's a right to work state but that's about it.

used chatGPT


Idiots using chatGPT for crafting policy seems to be an emerging trend. The damage is astonishing.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised it's tyrannical republicans doing it either. Which state is the most free I wonder?

This just proves that the current crop of politicians are fucking idiots. Even Harry Truman, back in the day, the product of the St. Louis corrupt political machine, would systematically read though all legislation that he was to vote on as a Congressman.

No, the current crop is quite clever. It is the voters who are the idiots.

That's a cheap shot. The deceased have no choice on whom their votes are placed :)

I do agree that it is clever of the politicians to exploit the cemeteries to pad, if not outright dominate the voter rolls.

Nobody reads anything anymore. How many people confirmed that they read "The Art of the Deal" in the thread dedicated to it? Three?
