      Too many "clowns" in the electorate. We should've prevented that from happening but hindsight is 2020. We can still do it, just have to make it retroactive. Seems like a GOOD idea to me.

      A lot of Republicans voted for jb because he blanket legalized pot at state level. The Republicans must keep votes by medical use And most importantly chronic pain . They lose republican votes by not doing this. Jb is a prime example. It needs to be medical and chronic pain under approved illness. At a min. If the Republicans don't understand this yet, voters and candidates, they will when their red state goes blue.

      @FRITO.BANDITO oh I see that now, thanks for pointing it out. Came up like a new article. Ya know it's unfair to these folks coming in and people like to say that's racist. Well in America 🇺🇸 we already had/have a homeless problem and people who need help they are denied . Some people are lazy, true, yet not everyone's able-bodied and disability is denied far more than granted for seriously medical issues and years back would have been approved. The elderly on fixed income only hurt by the increase in min wages bc they don't recieve more. Then thousands and thousands more come in on asylum (you're supposed to seek in the first country you enter!!) Who are given with citizens tax money . In millions with no good bookkeeping? How are the people to trust what's going on in a situations they may find unfair to begin with. 🤔 it's a mess and they need to collectively tell people do not come. It is very dangerous. Crime at random is high and even worse in cities like Chicago or New York where they are taken. Add in a language barrier and you are seriously a sitting duck for criminals. If you come in fleeing from your criminal past and not looking for the American dream, they probably put you in a shelter with women and children. It is a humanitarian crisis they keep trying to put flowery names and labels to. I'm bothered at it.
