To create a legally binding, individual document after vetting a person’s record to make sure they are not letting murderers out (for example) and then getting it to the president for approval, yes. But you go ahead and be condescending anyway.

Obama is signing them as fast as he can, I think. He has to sign every single pardon. Either blanket pardons aren’t allowed, or they have been challenged in the past and he wants to avoid that. I too hope he can find a way to pardon as many people as he possibly can. (And one for Hillary, too. Just to shut the GOP…

Actually I think “Posse” specifically is a trigger for him, because Phil Jackson has used it against him and his friends before. And LeBron doesn’t forget things.

And when the question came up if James would seek out Jackson when the Cavs were in New York, Bomani Jones had the proper response. Why would James need to seek out Jackson? Jackson could seek out James if he wanted to make things right.

Superb piece in The Guardian about this “white male rage narrative”.

Diversity is great and all, but there are SO many other things that would make the media better. Not using Facebook for so many news stories would be a major first step.

No one told pollsters or newspeople they were voting Trump because to do so was to be deemed a racist.
The culture had decided this was the case.

We need diversity in who owns the media outlets as well

THANK YOU. The pro-legalization crowd often seems to forget that the only reason this is working right now is Obama. A Republican Congress can write a couple sentences about “drugs are bad” and add a line item into the budget for enforcement, and Trump will sign it. Trump can just send an email to whoever he appoints…

Because they’ve been fighting legalization for literally, not figuratively, decades. They quite publicly bitched about Obama telling the DEA to leave the states alone. Do you really think they’re going to let Trump continue that particular Obama policy, even if he wanted to?

A good friend of mine had the same procedure and died from a hospital infection. I say that not to criticize you or scare the OP, but to again express how much I hate this illness for taking a wonderful friend and person.

Private prison kickbacks > weed tax income.

It’s adorable that you think the far-right Republicans, now controlling all three branches, will let you guys keep your weed.

+1 should’ve stopped at “Chanukah Lewinsky”, you greedy half-brilliant bastard.

On Sunday, November 6, FBI Director James Comey reported anew that the Bureau finds no reason to bring criminal charges against Clinton despite her “extremely careless” treatment of classified material.

“deliver justice at the ballot box”

If you read the article, this guy was a stocker. He was criticized in his performance reviews for being insufficiently cheerful to management:

There is a perfectly pleasant and helpful demeanor between outright hostility towards customers and the frightening overbearing joy of TJ employees. As someone who hates small talk and just wants to buy my groceries and escape, the forced chattiness of TJ employees (and Lush, for another example) can give me a full on…

There are people who are naturally shy and don’t feel comfortable engaging in conversation with complete strangers. And please cut that whole, “if you don’t like people don’t work in customer service” shtick! It’s unfair to people who have no choice other than to work those kind of jobs.
