    One of the lowest points in my life was when Trump made his visit to Nebraska for a rally. He flew in on a Gulfstream (go figure, choice ride of douches everywhere) and after he disembarked, my coworkers and I were called upon to fuel and service the aircraft. I drew the short straw and had to perform the lav service (drain and fill with the service cart). The crew was really nice, and I felt sorry for them having to deal with him.

      They're lying to you by not telling you what you actually need to know.
      The 1942 USDA film *Hemp for Victory* was the key to fighting and winning World War II and is the key to stopping climate change today.
      This is supported by numerous official government reports that are online at your fingertips, but since absolutely no one in national media or academia will explain it to the American people, everyone is so miserably ignorant that they have to turn to these corporate puppets for some levity.
      *Hemp for Victory* is online from the US National Archives. It became public in 1990.

He kinda trademarked the "jewishspacelaserisation" of rhetoric hmmmm, evolution would be a bad word. Escaltion. Up to 28. Then US capitalism fucked up... again, tearing Germans economy into collapse. Suddenly, all the hateful and absurdly crazy conspiracy theories seemed to be true. Capitalism and Extremism, like Daesh, Christian Natinalists, Hisbollah, AfD etc. pp., live of each other. Cause at the end, the profits and the losses are always "0" And if sum people get "Oprah"-rich or worse "Musc"linily wealthy, a lot of other entieties of this planet have to suffer in misery.

      No media outlet reports it, no teacher will teach it, no politician will speak the words *"Hemp for Victory"* to the voting public. No one cares, even as millions of pampered dipshits vote in red and blue states alike to "legalize" Cannabis. Do you people even have the slightest clue as to what I'm talking about?
      The war on drugs has our cops dressed and armed like soldiers to attack the American people over the exact same "Marihuana" plant that was legalized to defend this country in World War II.

    She is not a great woman nor the wife of a great man. I’m 35 years old and a lawyer. Even in undergrad and definitely in law school, you picked up on how crappy of a justice Clarence Thomas was/is. He never asks any questions during oral arguments and regularly basis his decision on politics. The exact opposite of what you want to see as a Supreme Court justice. I’m against “packing the court”, but I will not be sad when he retires. Also, his wife is a nut job. Since Clarence is still with her, I can only imagine he believes what she believes. Sigh.
