1958

We did our part. In theory our reps should be doing theirs. Our state has spoken, and not when it was a cool thing to do either. Back when they thought we were nuts!

1959
1960

But it’s so much easier to be spineless and look the other way while state legislators and voters make decisions for you!

1961

Congresscritters are mostly performance artists at this point. That said, it’s something the electorate wants, damned near across the board. But we also keep electing old people and clowns, neither of which much care what the electorate wants since people will reelect them because they’re old and clownish.

Making it a State issue only makes sense since that’s that’s the de facto status of it. But again, old people and performance artists.

1962

I would understand this position, except… both Obama and Clinton were pot smokers. Possibly Biden too. To say to that pot is a disqualification to be an intern but fine for a President just comes across as hypocritical.

1963

But that’s apparently not what she was saying at all. Look at the tweet - if it’s accurate, she was saying it’s the laws that aren’t suitable, not people who smoke pot.

1964

As Menzo said, that’s not what she was saying. And besides, they were looking at recent/current pot use. Clinton and Obama weren’t smoking pot in the White House. Publicly, in any case. If they were, that would make it hypocritical.

1965

I still don’t understand. :D Maybe once I watch the interview rather than trying to unravel the Twitter stream things will become clearer to me.

1966

That is the outcome many legislators are hoping for. Easy disenfranchisement.

1967

Nothing about Biden’s press conference?

Poor guy is so senile he can barely form coherent sentences.

Actually, no, he’s quite sharp and I wish I was as sharp as him today let alone whatever mess I’ll be in at his age.

1968

It’s all so delightfully boring/normal. I love that a President can have a press conference that doesn’t result in 300 new posts related to it.

1969
1970

The folks who seem most agitated about the lack of regular presidential press conferences are White House reporters whose jobs suddenly got way more boring.

1971

“Ruff start”. Oh, Associated Press, you slay me…

1972

Looking forward to how we’ll gin up some outrage for this.

1973

DEMONCRATS WANT TO SHOOT PATRIOTIC AMERICANS

1974

I only have two questions about Dog-gate: What did they gnaw, and when did they gnaw it?

1975

You’ll have to wait for the tell-all book “All the President’s Good Boys”, by Woofward and Barkstein. Dropping on Amazon and Petsmart April 1st.

1976

Pretty good press conference. Biden showed he was prepared and informed. How will the right wing complain?

Oh FFS

1977

What kind of NERD brings NOTES to a PRESS CONFERENCE?
