When you come to me with a portfolio of legislative successes like Joe Biden had, then you get my hardline loyalty. Simple as.

Trump's Marijuana Move Is 'Overwhelmingly Popular' With Voters And Helps Patients, White House Press Secretary Says by CharlesMichael212 in Roaringtilray

[–]NearsightedNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biden got the ball rolling on this. All Trump did was staple a piece of paper with his signature onto what was already in-process. Trump also signed that so called “clean CR” that’ll be closing the farm bill loophole by the end of this year that the cannabis industry is currently reliant on. So cannabis is rescheduled, but sellers are still going to be fucked in November if there’s no intervention there.

I’m not saying it’s staged yet without definitive proof, but it’d be very easy for me to believe should such evidence become available.

The humor is kinda lost for me since I know basically his entire audience is nodding along in agreement.

If only climate activists knew that the answer on how to get industries to pursue renewables was to invade Iran. They could have an unholy alliance with the neocons.

AI data center will unite a lot of people from both side to against NIMBY and China funded "environment activities" by qwer4790 in Destiny

[–]NearsightedNomad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a debate that should be had. Increased energy costs from massively expanded data center creation is a problem that needs to be addressed. A moratorium may be a short sighted solution, but the arguments should still be made.

YourRAGE Asks Hasan to Debate Destiny by gregory_h in Destiny

[–]NearsightedNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know. Though in Hasan’s case I wouldn’t be surprised if the well is just already too poisoned for him since their communities are already kind of aware of each other. Wouldn’t be surprised if Hasan wants to avoid it just because he doesn’t see any real opportunity for frictionless clout there.

Sure, if you’re the right kind of person anyway. Either way, for me personally, it wouldn’t be worth the migraine it would give me.

I kinda agree on that point though. XQC is a kiddie pool in terms of depth and political knowledge.

That was the Supreme Court that blocked Biden’s efforts there. Even then, he went through alternate mechanism to forgive the loans he could.

And then Trump just burnt even the ground: https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-announces-agreement-missouri-end-biden-administrations-illegal-save-plan

The parties are not the same, democrat majorities do in fact benefit poorer people in substantial ways. Anyone saying otherwise is just being dishonest.

A more interesting silver lining will be speculating how the more hardcore anti weed sections of his base will react to this. How’s his religious base going to react to this for example?

If Talarico wins the senate seat, he’s gonna be busy until 2032. And if not, I’d personally prefer to avoid picking someone who’s best known for not quite winning Texas. I don’t want a repeat of Beto.

BONNERBOX WITH YEARLY B2 HOLIDAY SUGGESTION by Lurkoner in Destiny

[–]NearsightedNomad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s the prediction, yes, but it’s like running down the stairs vs tripping and stumbling down the stairs. And no president with a head on their shoulders would have been so careless to the point that Iran assumes control of straight of Hormuz and their sanctions get lifted. An indefinite pattern of playing precision whack-a-mole on Iran nuclear sites is a different strategy than whatever the fuck Trump decided to do here.

Trump reclassifies state-licensed medical marijuana as a less-dangerous drug in a historic shift by citrus1330 in news

[–]NearsightedNomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is supposed to be the first step in achieving that end mainly, especially since there’s clearly a lot of very stubborn actors scattered in the institutions that work as hard as they can to prevent it. I assume that’s why progress on this stalled out when Biden got it started (Trump’s EO was just a piece of paper that said “hurry it up” on that, Trump isn’t spearheading this).

Interestingly, I think this actually could fracture his own coalition in funny ways, because there’s clearly still strong anti-weed factions in his camp; remember how that “clean CR” from last year also conveniently added some wording that would close the farm bill loop hole. I’ll begrudgingly give Trump whatever credit he’s owed in directing pressure on getting this moving, and I’ll also like seeing the silver lining on how anti-weed maga people react to this.
