I remember years ago walking into a liquor store in Huntington Beach. They had a sign in the window that said, "We support a drug free Orange County." I walked around the store noting the alcohol, tobacco, and sugar. I then informed the owner that if he truly supported a drug free Orange county he needed to stop selling everything in his store except the water and orange juice.

You say, "cannabis does not cure cancer." Where is your evidence? Where are the studies that prove your claim? There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that it might cure certain types of cancer. There has never been a real study done as far as I know. Big pharma has done their damndest to prevent any such study. I am all for the scientific method and hard evidence. Big pharma, not so much.

mcgeo52 comments on Aug 26, 2018:

My brother was a lifelong Republican until th day that McCain nominated Palin. I could say the same about a few other people I know. Driving those people out of the party did, indeed clear the way for Trump. McCain has since admitted it was a serious mistake. I agree with @Freedompath: "One mistake does not make or break a man! I view him in an overall context and I feel a loss! I saw in him a man of honor!" If we never forgive McCain for Palin, how do we forgive the Democrats in the Senate who voted against convicting Clinton? In doing so they gave up the moral high ground of holding the President accountable under the law. If they had not done that, they could have gone after Bush and Cheney for lying us into two wars. And if they had held Clinton accountable and we still ended up with Trump, they would have no problem demanding his impeachment and citing the precedent of Clinton.

He has worked for the company since the '70s, starting under Fred Trump. He knows the exact date and amount of every penny in and out of the company for the last decade plus. If there was a bribe paid, he can document it. Likewise if there was money laundered. These are not *just* criminal charges. They are charges under the NY state RICO law. This could result in the state seizing and/or freezing every penny of tRump's assets, as well as sending these three and daddy to state prison. At this point the question is whether the state will let them have Thanksgiving dinner together as a family?

I believe John Kelly is there to stop anything really stupid, like a nuclear strike. By the time tRump realizes how bad it really is for him, I hope he just resigns. To be honest I am probably more worried about the reaction by the trumptards when tRump goes down.

mcgeo52 comments on Aug 24, 2018:

It would not be that difficult. All it would take is proof that Trump's election was based on a fraud. Michael Cohen's plea may well have given us that. Nothing based on fraud can stand legally. That includes all of tRump's orders, and all of his executive appointees and their orders. It would also include ALL of his judicial appointees up to and including Gorsuch. It might take a year or two to sort through the implications, but it doesn't have to take a generation or more to recover from this nightmare. The next job is to make sure it doesn't happen again. Start by reinstating the fairness doctrine that Reagan got rid of.

With today's news, how close do you think tRump is to resigning.

mcgeo52 comments on Aug 24, 2018:

I think tRump may well resign. If it looks like he is not willing to, then Mueller and the NY AG could have a meeting with him and explain his options: • Behind door #1 is the NY AG with a stack of RICO indictments that will be filed by noon tomorrow. By close of business the following day all of Trump’s assets will be frozen/confiscated. He will die penniless in Sing Sing. • Behind door #2 is Robert Mueller. Trump agrees to plead guilty to a federal felony, make a confession to be televised to the nation, pay some serious fines, and serve a minimal term at Club Fed. • Behind door#3… Oh! Wait! There is no door #3. What’s it gonna be, Donnie?

I said over a year ago that tRump would destroy the Republicans in the mid terms unless they got rid of him at least six months before the election. They were stupid enough to stick with him.

As such he should not be making any judicial appointments. The Senator (or Representative) should go on record saying as much from the floor and also in a press statement.” I am heartened to report that the aides’ reactions ranged from happily helpful to downright giddy.

I host an open mic at an art gallery in Long Beach. Almost all of the furnishings in the gallery have been rescued from the curb or the alley. As for the equipment I use, I have saved a substantial amount (i.e., 20% to 65%) by buying used mics. Let's face it, I buy the mics to use them. After a few weeks I have a used mic even if I paid for a new one. A Shure SM57 is still a Shure SM57 even after it has been used for years. And Sennheiser e835s don't have a shelf life either. By intelligently buying a mix of new and used equipment I have put together a sound system that gives us the best sound of any open mic in the area, and saved a few hundred in the process. Also in Long Beach we have a shop, Long Beach Depot for Creative Reuse, that carries nothing but scrap items from manufacturers. Artist and craft types find all sorts of things there to incorporate into their projects. My other favorite is buying refurbished items. Those are real bargains most of the time.

Assuming that we're going to have the ability to remove the orange idiot in charge from the office ...

mcgeo52 comments on Aug 21, 2018:

By the not too distant future I assume you mean less than a year. At this point I would argue that three months might well be too distant. However, given what has come out recently (e.g., recordings from Michael Cohen, Omarosa, and (from what I am hearing) Don McGahn, as well as what will come out at Manafort's second trial, Cohen's trial, and Jeffrey Epstein's trial (all three happening next month), I have reason to hope that Trump will be gone soon. Having said that leaves us with the fact that Mike Pense is the obvious replacement. But that isn't going to happen. He is as involved in the Russian mess as Trump, and Robert Mueller is too much of a patriot to see this country go through two disgraced Presidents leaving office back to back. That brings us to Paul Ryan, the next on the list. That isn't going to happen either (see discussion on Pence). So we either get Ryan's replacement as Speaker, or we get Orrin Hatch, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and next in line after Ryan. Given that the House can, in theory, elect a new Speaker in less than an hour, it will most likely be Ryan's replacement. This is where it gets real interesting. Are you aware that being a member of the House is not a requirement for becoming Speaker? All it takes is a nomination and 218 votes [fn 1]. Good luck getting 218 votes together for anyone, especially with chief cat herder Ryan gone. And no Democrat, even Bernie, will get 218 votes. However if the 194 Democrats can get 24 Republicans to vote with them for a moderate Republican, that would work. And yes, there are still a few moderate Republicans alive. Now, we are finally getting to the answer to your question. I would like to see Nancy Pelosi nominate Olympia Snowe as Speaker [fn 2]. Let me explain why I believe she is the best person for the job: • We need someone to help heal our country; her feminine energy will be a major asset. • She has enough experience in government to have more than a clue about what needs to be done. • She is someone who can work with both sides of the aisle. She has literally written the book on making Congress functional again. • She is a Republican, and that is very important for one reason. The next President is going to need to order a federal investigation of the 2016 election. When (not if) the evidence proves that the ballot count was tampered with, the President will need to issue an Executive Order declaring the election a fraud. If a Democrat did that, we would likely have a civil war. What would be the result of such an EO? Legally nothing based on fraud can stand. That means all of Trump's EOs and appointments are null and void. The rules and regulations promulgated by the appointees would also be null and void. All of his judicial ...

If Mueller were just going after Trump this would have been over months ago. There is more than enough evidence on the record already to send Trump to prison for life. Or have you not noticed the number of Russians already indicted by Mueller and his crew? The intelligence community warned President Obama that the Russians were interfering in the election. The Congressional leadership was also briefed. Mitch McConnell told Obama that he would cry "Politics!" if Obama went public with the information. Obama should have called him on that one.
