I'm certain the provision making the products illegal (that was quietly slipped into the spending bill by "Mitch The Bitch" McConnell and his RepubliCon pals) will be overturned, once the next Democratic administration takes over.
But until then, we're right back to where we were 10 yrs. ago. 😠

As part of the spending deal to end the government shutdown, federal lawmakers approved a provision that would criminalize almost all consumable hemp products nationwide.
Congress bans most hemp-based THC products in shutdown deal
The issue roiled Texas politics earlier this year when Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a ban on THC products spearheaded by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

This guy is a public servant but he clearly only works for himself.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

So in Megyn Kelly's opinion, it's A-okay for middle-aged men to date, sexually abuse, and then pimp 15-year-old girls for fun and profit? Is that what she's suggesting? 😠
This was a GOP trial balloon
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Seems possible that this is about even more than underage women.
Perhaps money changing hands— corruptly and internationally, and intertwined with underaged women?
Man, oh man.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

"What if it turns out that in addition to being a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Trump may have 'spent hours' at the man’s house, with one of his victims. What if QAnon’s call was coming from inside the house, the whole time?"

He is dying. It’s clear to see. But he will drag us all down before he goes. He will starve as many children as possible and separate all the families he can. He will fill his already fat pockets with money meant for disabled veterans and the unhoused. He will spread misery until his last breath.
