Congrats Joe.

We shouldn't had to trade in the first place, but all things considered, looks like a good trade.

Quote:

President Joe Biden on Saturday announced the return of seven Americans he said were wrongfully detained in Venezuela for “years.”

“Today, after years of being wrongfully detained in Venezuela, we are bringing home Jorge Toledo, Tomeu Vadell, Alirio Zambrano, Jose Luis Zambrano, Jose Pereira, Matthew Heath, and Osman Khan. These individuals will soon be reunited with their families and back in the arms of their loved ones where they belong,” the President said in a statement.

The seven American detainees were released in exchange for the release of two Venezuelans imprisoned in the US, both nephews of Venezuelan first lady Cilia Flores.

OMG - the guy who looked at the camera and said "Graham died alone". This isn't even SNL quality - it's like some bad knockoff.

And then "I'm voting for the other chick".

lol- someone actually greenlit that

Is she running for governor or American Legion chapter president?

PilotMan 10-06-2022 01:58 PM

Apparently, the "nobody fucks with the (a) Biden" comment is causing fainting couches to be filled across the right.

I just want to point out that all it means is that he likes and quotes The Big Lebowski as much as the rest of us.

Leaked report says Federal Investigators have determined Hunter Biden has committed tax evasion and another crime dealing with a weapon he purchased. I wish they would just go ahead and charge him. I have no problem believing he is guilty.

PilotMan 10-06-2022 02:16 PM

Agreed. I don't think there's any question that done some seriously questionable or illegal things. It's not like he's been a boy scout his entire life.

albionmoonlight 10-06-2022 02:20 PM

I agree that if he's done something, charge him.

But this story is basically cops saying that the person they've been investigating is bad. A healthy amount of skepticism is warranted.

How many people are in federal prison for simple weed possession?

ETA: Biden says the number is zero.

100% okay with charging him with crimes if they’ve been committed. Just like any other citizen should be…including former Presidents who clearly have broken federal law.

Yep charge him and let him have his time in court. As far as I know there is no connection to a VP or President Biden administration, but I'm sure will be hearing he should resign from the right. I mean its not like he stole from a children's charity or something like that...

And just like any rich, connected white guy, he'll get off with a slap on the wrist. And the right will, unironically, scream about the crazy favoritism.

I'm not sure how I feel about Biden pardonning simple marijuana chargers at the federal level. For all its medical uses, it is still an addictive drug that can cause problems/changes in behavior for those abusing it. I worry that 5/10 years for now, we have a whole bunch of MA (marijuana anonymous) clinics and meeting places like we have for AA now. I'm not sure there is enough science out there yet to justify this action from Biden.

There's a lot of science out on it. It's pretty safe unless you're a child with a developing brain. I wouldn't have a problem with making the age 21 and older (which I think most states do).

It seems silly to lock people up for a drug that is considerably less dangerous than alcohol. Especially when the feds let the largest opiate dealer off with nothing.

thesloppy 10-06-2022 06:10 PM

It should also be noted that marijuana's current federal status makes it practically illegal to research, which is why we have so little science on it.

Air Force One just flew directly over my house! So cool.

FWIW it's been legal here for 10 years and I can confirm we do not have a bunch of MA clinics and meeting places.

Honestly, I don't think so. It was a surprising (albeit welcome) piece of news - so in this case, I think it's about beating the incredibly low expectations

As ridiculous as the US policy is, you can still get the death penalty for trafficking cannabis in several asian countries.

Marijuana is not addictive.
Marijuana was used like tax evasion, it was a way to get people you knew were doing bad stuff but couldnt prove it.

OPEC said F you Biden we wont be increasing production and gas prices went up 30 cents here.

This is another cannabis myth. I think it could easily be argued it's less addictive (and certainly less physically destructive) than many other substances, but it can cause physical dependence and withdrawal.

If anything only with extreme users, like smoking an ounce a day. This is not a myth. It is fact and your DARE teacher was wrong.

It is medicinal and as non-addictive as anything,. But, hey, keep on drinking and taking your pills because as you know those are highly addictive.

Decided to take a walk down a google search. Marijuana use disorder is the term. Pretty much anti-marijuana propaganda.

This. One of the you tube couples I watch had to stop filming for a while because one of them, who was taking it for medical reasons, became addicted to it. Maybe one of the first I've heard of.

Clinical management of cannabis withdrawal - PMC

"A meta‐analysis pooling studies of more than 20 000 regular and dependent cannabis users estimated that 47% of individuals reported cannabis withdrawal measured by standardized scales. The prevalence in community samples was 17%, increasing to 54% in outpatient samples and 87% in inpatients."




Go look up cannabis withdrawal on reddit for people's personal stories if you don't want to believe me OR medical professionals OR science.

I don't drink or do any pharmaceuticals for the record. I do smoke a gram of 70% THC oil everyday and I grew weed for 7 years. I never said it wasn't medicinal. I said it will cause physical dependence and withdrawal.

Can You Get Addicted to Marijuana?
Quote:

Addiction is more common in drugs like alcohol or cocaine. But it’s possible to get hooked on marijuana, also known as cannabis. That means you can’t stop using it, even if you want to. Studies show about 1 in 10 adults who use marijuana can get addicted. Your chances go up to 1 in 6 if you use it before age 18.

I have also been hospitalized with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, and let me tell you it is definitely not awesome. Often confused, or combined with cyclic vomiting I basically puked until I got so dehydrated that my kidney started failing.

..but I am still a daily user & have been for most of my life. In my opinion it seems obviously less harmful than practically any other drug in our culture, and I can personally function capably while high in just about any capacity without the slightest worry or notice, but that doesn't mean it's harmless.
