    They're everywhere now that it is legal here. I work on cars that smell of weed all the time.

    Went to a rock concert this summer and I had to smell it the entire show. So irritating.

    I don't expect a lot of those who've tried mary jane to live off the public dole. It's probably the case for some because people in pain try self medication and weed can be self medication for some of us.

    I know guys from college who've done amazing work in electronics who smoked weed with me in college. You wouldn't have some of the Intel or HP (Hewlett-Packard) devices that we have today without their brilliant work. One even was on a team that determined the new and much more accurate result for the effective mass of the photon than they had previously determined. It's not the path to ruin unless you were already on that path.

    They existed, the rhetoric that they are coming here to kill us didn’t.

    Agree.

    You need to visit other parts of town, buddy. Several of my neighbors are like that in SE Portland.

    That's because it's obvious to even a casual observer that it's true that Trump suffers from mental illness.

    I don't need to visit them, I know some of them. Doesn't mean they're all gonna turn out that way or even a majority will turn out that way and it doesn't mean that pot will make you that way. As I said, the ones that turn out to be societal takers rather than givers might very well have already been on that path when they started smoking weed.

    It's an observation, Lanny. It was not considered as causality.

    In my conversations with many of my younger generation neighbors, they think of themselves as disenfranchised. And many of them are poorly prepared for life after high school. You'd be surprised at the amount of students pushed through the system and actually receive a degree saying they've graduated.

    Four armed and trained police officers were shot. But a part time security guard was supposed to stop a man with an arsenal. Trump is incapable of empathy or basic intelligence. And he and other Republicans daily blame Jews for everything from sexual assault survivors protesting to refugees seeking asylum
    Only they say " Soros" as stand in for Jews.

    The 24 hour opinion shows do get people wound up but no more so than Trump at his rallies. The difference is, by saying things like "there are good people on both sides" when referring to neo-nazis it makes these people think it's okay to continue expressing their beliefs more and more publicly (and violently). We had assassination attempts on two former presidents by a rabid Trump supporter and a mass killing in a synagogue by another last week. If you can't see any cause and effect there I don't know what to say.

    It seems so logical and easy to understand. But for some it isn’t.

    Trump announced he is going to Pittsburgh tomorrow even though the mayor requested he postpone as funerals start tomorrow. Trump said he is going specifically because thousands signed an open letter asking him to stay away.

    The immigrant aid group the murderer claimed was sponsoring"invasion" has received messages and contributors from around the world, but no one from the White House has called
    Trump was too busy tweeting about the Dodgers manager.

    So uh ....are the Koch brothers the Nazis in this delusion?

    Also, every crazy Soros conspiracy I've heard of has Soros getting rich helping the Nazis. I think in a couple he is actually Dracula...not sure. I ignore the right wing versions of the left wing koolaid you're drinking.

    Anyway, they can stop saying Soros instead of Jew. They can say special interest instead.

    Since Soros was still a teen boy at the tint, the garbage about getting rich helping Nazis is pure bullshit.

    Keeping bad guys out of a structure is immensely easier than going into a structure to get bad guys out.

    It's why the Alamo is famous, in case you wondered.

    Soros is an openly proud former Nazi, who crowed on network television about it being the happiest time in his life.

    He makes his billions by destroying foreign governments then buying the abandoned assets. He has brought about countless deaths just to make a buck, and thoroughly enjoys it.

    Quite possibly the most evil sociopath alive on the Earth.

    I can't imagine what kind of being would attempt to defend him.

    As a prominent political activist and supporter of left-wing causes, Hungarian-born billionaire financier George Soros has frequently been the target of smear campaigns, and none more odious than the persistent — and false — claim that Soros, a Jew, was a Nazi sympathizer, collaborator, and/or paramilitary officer during World War II.

    That Soros was only nine years old (born in 1930) when the war broke out and all of 14 when Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945 hasn’t dampened his detractors’ enthusiasm for spreading these rumors, including the absurd claim, which first surfaced in November 2016, that Soros literally served as an officer of the paramilitary Schutzstaffel (SS) in Germany.

    While I don’t expect that you and I will ever agree on much of anything politically, the fact that you got 7 likes in a post saying Rs and Trump blame Jews for everything makes me sad. As if the world isn’t fucked up enough without you adding what could be described as hate speech to it. No, Soros (nor you, nor Bibi Netanyahu) gets to be the personification of Judaism. When Soros is called out for funding protestors for his own personal jihad, it’s for his actions. Not yours or Netanyahu’s. When trump orders the embassy to be placed in Jerusalem, when the other 14 members of the security council denounced it, I didn’t see a lot of “Friend of Israel in the face of opposition” remarks. Why do you think Soros should stand in as the personification of worldwide Judaism? Or do you think that, because Someone is against many of Obama’s policies, it’s because they are against the entirety of the African American race?
    Additionally, did you miss that the shooter stated that he hated trump *because he was controlled by jews*?
    It’s also interesting to me that the Jewish vote, after the African American the most staunchly (D) block (historically 75%) voted more for the racist Trump than any (R) candidate since 1968. Including 50% among Orthodox.
