Bag Lady; bags in my car, bags under my eyes and bags where my ass used to be. I bring my own. If I've put a smile on your face then I am worth the space I take up.

We are a country of idiots. Can millions of people be dead wrong? Dead right they can. What's my proof? A SECOND trump administration. We were dumb enough to let Hearst, Du Pont and Anslinger criminalize it in the first place.
The hemp farmers forgot to give Trump a piece of the action. Cut him in for 20% and this all goes away.

In March, after Schumer last surrendered, we called an emergency meeting of Indivisible leaders. 92% told us to call on him to step down from leadership (which we did).
In a poll over this weekend, 98.67% said we should keep up the fight.

Either way, so many Dems... the bulk of the Senate caucus, House leadership, governors, etc.,... all quickly throwing down the gauntlet with such open unrestrained attacks on any Dems who cave is new. It wasn't like that in March, not nearly as loud and widespread and immediate, much more base-only.
