One thing younger folks probably don't realize, up to 1980, MJ was common. Most just keep it on the downlow. Reagan's, "war on drugs," changed that.

They said just say no, so we did.

That doesn’t mean that in reality anyone consumed any more or less than others. I remember smoking weed openly in concerts, etc… throughout the 80’s and 90’s without issues. Campus head shops still flourished.

I think when drug testing became widespread and common in the late 80’s and beyond things changed, but even then those who were determined to usually found a way around it. If I recall correctly the push for employee drug testing was a big issue for the Reagan administration.

It always existed on the down low, but these days it’s mainstream due to medical, legalization. I think the passing and absence of the Dragnet generation who thought weed was as bad as heroin and would drive you insane has helped to also.

ETA- The op video is spot on !

Or simply return to paper ballots and a verifiable form of identification and oversight at the polling place to prevent abuse.

Yes, years ago I saw one dead on the side of the road near Winnsboro, LA. The sun was just starting to rise that day and I wasn't sure what it was until I actually pulled over and stared at it for a few minutes. I'm still not sure what caused it to die, but there it was.

Sorry, but I am fresh out of empathy. I want to see every one of them who was involved arrested, charged, sentenced, and then incarcerated in a speedy manner.

re: Should We Have Professional Jurors?

With a rapidly aging population (as well as a lot of educated people that simply can't find work in their fields) why don't we just have a rotating pool of professional jurors that take a course in basic courtroom procedure, get paid $20/hr and hear all the trials. Can't do it for more than a year to prevent any bias for particular attorneys or collusion or contamination among the jury pool.

I don't know how much the actual pay is, and wouldn't consider it "professional" or a job, but what you are suggesting sounds very similar to a Federal Grand Jury in scope and operation.

Say it’s 40-60k. Are you good with that to oust the mullahs?

Iraq lasted a lot longer and a different scenario.

You go from 100,000 to 40,000-60,000. I think you just pulled numbers out of your head and trying to paint a picture of impending doom.

350 US casualties resulted in the 1989 invasion of Panama which itself is very steep and mountainous. The invasion lasted week one month, one week, and four days.

I support whatever it takes to insure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon or harms another US citizen again.

For forty seven years we have suffered their attacks on our people, threats to the world, and fanatical promises to annihilate our nation and beliefs.

We are finally taking the proper measures to get rid of these religious lunatics, it should never have taken that long to do what we are now to do to stop it.

ETA- Re-elect Trump 2028 !
