Are we smoking more or less dope, than we were, say, 20/30/40 years ago?

Smoked a trope of dope in the 70's.....less in the 80's (but that kinda tracked with the Grateful Dead -
the greatest R/R band of all time). Less in the oughts, life changes. Now: Holy Fuck , this Small Fingered Idiot is our President? What does Trump owe to the Russian Oligarchs? To the nearest 500BB dollars? How much of Trump does Putin own? Why don't we know this? Putin is in the White House? A totally corrupted pResident? Stay fucking tuned.

My point being....medical marijuana....

So how many of the bots ID as fake were Russian? (Net Neutrality)

Seems like something a totalitarian dictatorship could get behind. And a "dealmaker" like Trump who could deliver our capacity to have free and open speech kneecapped. When does it get to be treason?

We desperately need The Wall.

Reposting from GD as it dropped like a dying polar bear......as it addresses both topics equally, I thought this would be a better place to get visibility and comment. Added a little further detail, too.


But not the environmental / economic / social disaster that Trump and the complicit Republican Party are selling.

A wall system must be planned and built around both coasts to address the coming sea level changes caused by massive climate change and melting ice caps. This directly affects major population areas and regions that will be severely disrupteed or destroyed if we continue the do-nothing vision of the GOP. This truely is our #1 national security issue.

Our climate will be our children's children living nightmare and a sure end of the grand experiment known as the USA.

When will Congress unite and address the #1 existential threat to this country? Constructing the wall will have lots of positive impacts on our economy with immediate boost to meaningful jobs that will define our vision for protecting this country's future.

Solar panels and wind generation could also be incorporated into the wall systems, further reducing our dependency on foreign oil and the costs paid by taxpayers (see USN/DOD) to get and secure Big Oil's product to market. Why aren't we billing Big Oil for services rendered?

This is The Wall vision/message that I wish Democrats - in a unified clear voice - would work on and communicate to the American people now, in advance of the 2018 elections.
