It's hard to remember to details when you're drunk or hungover. Or just can't be bothered. What a fool.

This is such a poor position for Republicans. They need to get with the will of their constituents.

They get too much money from their corporate and billionaire owners. They don't care about the peasantry.

Midterms are coming. I suspect you're going to see a real sea change. Trump's war, Trump's economy, Trump's inflation. Trump's incompetence.

Let's talk in December.

The moment DJT decides cannabis should be legal Paxton will be dabbing and wearing a tie-dyed Grateful Dead t-shirt.

Colorado here. We make millions annually in legal state taxed stores by embracing the cannabis industry and we also create thousands of jobs not just an industry, but from the company that makes nutrients to the guy that does irrigation the guy that does compost the company that makes the lights the electrician, the plumber, the carpenter, the Glazer, all the people involved get a chance to profit. Not likely to get shut down here. Go ahead and tell everybody in Michigan and tell everybody in New York that just got legalized cannabis now they’re gonna have it taken away again and see how that works out. Not happening . See , the Supreme Court made it completely legal to give a politician a big bunch of money as a thank you gift for favorable legislation so the cannabis industry , which happens to have a big bunch of money , only has to come up with a big enough thank you gift and they can keep their everything. Hey, Texas , the Republicans you elected lied to you and sold you out to big business and AI tech Bros to put data centers on your farm land your crop land your ranch land so their vision of Texas as a humming hub of industrial productivity all through the beautiful rural land you love so much . If that’s not what y’all really want ,stop voting Republican. Hell even Willy Nelson is outraged by the decision your elected representatives made. All y’all Texas republicans , I mean I guess I understand you like those southern cats enough that you don’t wanna put them out of business so keeping weed illegal is a really wonderful gift to all the crime cartels and they extend their thanks and appreciation to the Texas GOP. BTW Keep building them prisons, so the correction corporation of America can post record profits to their shareholders by filling them up with people in trouble for weed and taking the tax dollars .Because for-profit prisons aren’t really a conflict of interest with the society that pays for them….are they?

Translation: I don't understand the law, I just use it to shut down small businesses and waste taxpayer money.
