I used to be pro legalizing weed, but the results are undeniable. Every single place that has legalized it has become measurably worse. This experiment has run its course.
Republican support for legalizing weed has dropped 13% in the last year to just 40% and has fallen from all time highs with Dems and independents A counterrevolution is coming

I agree! Let’s get rid of insurance companies AND the haphazard health system all together. Now is the time for #Medicare4All 😎 🗽

$500k home, 20% down, 6% mortgage: 30-yr = $2,398/mo 50-yr = $2,074/mo Invest $325 diff @ 10% (S&P avg): 10y: +$27K 20y: +$169K 30y: +$597K 50y: +$5.7 Million With the 50-yr, you pay $380K more interest yet end up many millions wealthier. Not including increased home value.
If Democrats are able to give citizenship to illegals immigrants they can gain 8 Congress seats assuming fair compact maps. x.com/i/grok/share/Y4V6KFPG8…

Political gerrymandering is giving Republicans 4 seats they would not have if all states had fair compact maps. x.com/i/grok/share/7p13Ue5Af…

My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.

“Alright children, circle up! Donald, put down the Sharpie. No, you cannot draw new borders on the map again. Today’s class is called:” ✨ ‘WE ARE NOT COVERING UP THE EPSTEIN MESS FOR YOU.’ ✨ “Take a big breath, sweetheart. You’re gonna need it.” ✅ Lesson 1: We don’t hide crimes because you used to party with the people involved “Okay Donald, listen carefully because this is a LOUD rule: Just because you used to hang out socially with Epstein, Ghislaine, and Prince Andrew DOES NOT mean the American public owes you a blackout curtain over the truth. That’s not how any of this works, baby boy. That’s how dictatorships work. Not democracies.” ✅ Lesson 2: The Epstein investigation was paid for with TAXPAYER MONEY “You know what that means, Donald?” “That means the files don’t belong to YOU. They don’t belong to your friends. They don’t belong to your donors. They don’t belong to the billionaires hiding under their desks praying no one asks questions.” “They belong to the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Because WE paid for it.” “And when WE pay for something, WE get to see the receipt.” ✅ Lesson 3: EVERYBODY wants this — left, right, center “Donald, sweetie, this isn’t 2020 partisan cosplay anymore. This is the one thing the entire country AGREES ON.” 👈 The left wants the names 👉 The right wants the names 👌 The center wants the names 🧂 Even the apolitical girl at Target wants the names “When EVERYBODY is banging on the door for a year straight, yelling ‘SHOW US THE EPSTEIN LIST!’ you don’t get to clutch your pearls, hide behind your lawyers, and pretend you dropped your hearing aids.” ✅ Lesson 4: You don’t get to protect the rich and powerful from consequences “Donald, babycakes, listen up:” “You do NOT get to decide which rich creep gets shielded from the consequences of being friends, associates, party guests, business contacts, or whatever-the-hell with Epstein.” “Not you. Not Bill. Not Andrew. Not the tech bros. Not the billionaires. Not the ‘philanthropists.’ Not the ‘I flew there but didn’t get off the plane’ crowd.” “You don’t get to curate justice like it’s your Twitter feed.” ✅ Lesson 5: Being embarrassed is NOT a legal exemption “Oh no! Did the country find out you once hung out with Epstein socially in your Palm Beach days?” “Aww. That’s tough.” “Here’s what we tell all the five-year-olds when they break something on the playground:” 🔊 ‘Your feelings do NOT cancel the rules.’ “Just because a file might make you or your rich friends uncomfortable? Too bad. So sad. Pass the Kleenex.” ✅ Lesson 6: When the public demands transparency, you don’t get to say no “Donald, sweetie, you spent YEARS telling the country you were ‘for the people.’ Well guess what? THE PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING.” “And it’s not complicated.” They want: ✅ accountability ✅ transparency ✅ the truth ✅ the full Epstein client network exposed “You can’t run on ‘drain the swamp’ and then barricade the swamp’s guest list.” “It doesn’t work like that, pumpkin.” ✅ Lesson 7: You don’t get to stall, hide, distract, or act confused “You can send Mike Johnson out there every day like your little press-conference chihuahua. You can rant on Truth Social. You can blame Democrats, aliens, windmills, and low water pressure.” “But none of that changes this one simple fact:” ✨ YOU owe the American people the release of those files. ✨ Not as a favor. As a DUTY. As a RESPONSIBILITY. As a LEADER. “You asked for the job. THIS comes with the job.” ✅ End of Lesson “Okay Donald, class dismissed. You may leave the rug.” “And no, we’re not watching your little meltdown show. And no, the American people are not ‘moving on.’ And no, you can’t make the Epstein files magically disappear in the couch cushions of Mar-a-Lago.” “The country wants the truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth.” Thanks for watching. Now hand over the files.

Wow Jake...this is what Co-PIlot has to say: “Obama had 7 wars during his term.” 🔸 Misleading. Obama inherited two major wars (Iraq and Afghanistan) and expanded military operations in countries like Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan. However, not all were declared wars—many were ***drone campaigns or special operations. 🔸 The U.S. was not in seven declared wars, but military force was used in at least seven countries. “5.1 million families lost their homes.” 🔸 True but misleading. The housing crisis began in 2007–2008 under President Bush. Most foreclosures occurred early in Obama’s first term as a result of the Great Recession he inherited. 🔸 Obama’s administration launched programs like HAMP and HARP to slow foreclosures, with mixed success. “He deported twice as many Hispanics as Trump and built the cages for kids.” 🔸 Partially true with context. -Obama did oversee a record number of deportations, especially early in his presidency. Many were border removals, not interior deportations.- -The “cages” were chain-link enclosures built during the Bush and Obama years for short-term detention. -The Trump administration used them more extensively and separated families as a policy. -Obama did not implement family separation as a deterrent. “He dropped 26,000 bombs in a single year.” 🔸 True. In 2016, the U.S. dropped over 26,000 bombs, mostly in Iraq and Syria, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. 🔸 These were part of the campaign against ISIS, and the number reflects the scale of U.S. air operations. “His drone program killed about 90% innocents — including women, children, and even Americans.” 🔸 Exaggerated. Obama’s drone program was expansive, with over 500 strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Civilian casualty estimates vary. Some independent groups estimated up to 90% of those killed in certain strikes were not the intended targets, but the U.S. government reported much lower numbers (64–116 civilians killed between 2009–2015). Four U.S. citizens were killed in drone strikes; only one was intentionally targeted. “He oversaw a horrible recession.” 🔸 False. The Great Recession began in December 2007, a year before Obama took office. 🔸 Obama inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and signed the 2009 stimulus package. The economy began recovering in mid-2009, with 75 consecutive months of job growth starting in 2010. “He did nothing for Black Americans — only catered to the so-called ‘Fruity Pebble community.’” 🔸 False and offensive. Obama expanded access to health care, reduced Black unemployment, and supported criminal justice reform. The phrase “Fruity Pebble community” is a slur against LGBTQ+ people and has no place in serious discourse.
He’s a criminal who should be in jail

The average taxpayer pays $36 annually for SNAP Less than $1 a day to ensure everyone has food. In exchange for their tax dollars, people think they can tell SNAP recipients what they can & can’t eat. They judge them. Meanwhile the elites laugh all the way to the bank

It's not. And if Biden's pardons get rescinded then all the J6'rs should be too. He didn't hand sign over a thousand pardons. This is such bullshit by the GOP. It's fucking gross. At the time I didn't like Biden giving all those pardons but now I totally get why.

Years ago, I lived with roommates in Orlando. They all got food stamps because Disney didn’t pay them enough to get by. They worked hard — and ate a lot of rice with butter. If investing our immense wealth into making sure people don’t go hungry upsets you this much, seek help.
We should only help people who can’t help themselves. It’s outrageous 40MM people get food stamps. Get off your fat, ghetto asses. Get a job. Stop reproducing. Change your shitty culture. Stop giving food stamps to immigrants. We don’t want you here, if you won’t work.

Feeding the hungry is literally the best thing the government does with my tax dollars. I am thankful that I do not need charity to put food in my belly and grateful to know that if I did, there would be somewhere to turn. It is good to live in a society.
Many just read 40 million are going to starve. I just read 40 million people are being fed for free by stealing from those of us who produce. We are not the same.
