Democratic Party platform didn't quite say "Legalize It" but came close


2 We believe that the states should be laboratories of democracy on the issue of marijuana, and
3 those states that want to decriminalize marijuana should be able to do so. We support policies
4 that will allow more research on marijuana, as well as reforming our laws to allow legal
5 marijuana businesses to exist without uncertainty. And we recognize our current marijuana laws
6 have had an unacceptable disparate impact, with arrest rates for marijuana possession among
7 African Americans far outstripping arrest rates among whites, despite similar usage rates.

Question about alerted posts

I just voted on a post and it seems like it should have already been decided (it was over an hour ago and I thought it as an inappropriate post about Hillary) but I haven't received the email I usually receive that tells me the results and I can't find the post by searching for it so I'm wondering if it's been removed and if it has, why didn't I get the usual email result.

Could it be that the author self-deleted before the jury decided?

Sanders Responds to Gun Policy Questions



Shared from Linda Foley on Facebook : I can't believe that those extremely well-paid talking heads on the cable TV news shows are so easily pulled into these things, even after having lived through it with Hillary three times now. Why can't they see it for the manipulative process that it is?

Here, let this 74-year-old retired teacher explain it to you:
1) HRC has lost 7 primary states in the last 2 weeks to Bernie

2) they are moving into states that are friendlier to Bernie, including his HOME STATE of NY which is filled with his kind of voters and

2) although the press has still managed not to address the obvious questions about why he is succeeding, the people understand it and so -

3) she must inject a made-up controversy or two and blow them up into major confrontations so that

4) Bernie has to respond and then have his responses be purposefully misconstrued in the worse way possible by the clueless media so as to

5) give her a reason to further vilify him over a non-existent problem and

6) use all that as a focal point in their upcoming debate

7) so as to waste time and not have to answer questions about why Bernie has proven to be so popular and

8) which the moderators will blissfully allow her to do.

Got it? You're welcome.

Ted Cruz doesn't even know what state he's from

Ted Cruz just said in the Republican Town Hall - "In my home state of Florida, at Fort Hood"

His home state is Texas and Fort Hood is in Texas.

Now Trump has mentioned it at least twice.

I'm tired of this crap on my Facebook timeline

Old high school friend continually posts this crap on Facebook. After I finally give it to me he unfriends me.





Messaged him and told him that he shouldn't be surprised to see it again!

About the jury system

Saw this in the Hillary group but it works both ways. Good advice to prevent stalkers from alerting on your posts.
