After 8 months of hearings, etc., a surprise decision by Gov. Greg Abbott to veto a total ban of hemp in June and last-minute negotiations on Wednesday, the status quo will largely remain in place for the industry, for now.
Hemp-derived THC products will remain legal 😁

Right now, the Democratic Senators are grilling Bobby and his creepy voice, and it's a joy to watch. It's almost like they're tossing strands of spaghetti on the wall to see if any of them stick.

Krusty Nome & Her Hair got a huge shout-out on South Park ("Got A Nut") last night.

I still have hope that our country will survive after all the destruction being inflicted on us by that evil monster and his ilk.

Donnie Doll Hands and his gal pal, Krusty Nome (and her hair), came to Kerrville yesterday to spray a little orange stink all over the suffering in Texas, and then lie about Krusky's response regarding FEMA.
Krusty did see a few mourning parents she wanted to send to a gulag in another country.

A Nobel Peace Prize for Durwood? Sure. Fine. Whatever. If a sexual predator should get a prize for being a shitfaced coward who loves to tweet threats to the world because he's old, weak, scared, and just plain stupid... Sure. Fine. Whatever.

Hot Wheels is hot to trot on this unconscionable attack on America and democracy by declaring he's one with Fearless Leader, and he will deploy the Texas National Guard in San Antonio to quell the notion that protesting in Texas should be a crime (First Amendment and the Constitution be damned).

The 60-day deployment of the California National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles will cost at least $134 million, basically covering travel, lodging, and meal expenses.
That $134 million would help to keep Medicaid safe from Dirty Don and his Nine Nasty Nosepickers as well as the GOP.

The U.S. Court of International Trade has ruled that he had overstepped his authority in imposing his reciprocal tariffs as well as levies on Canada and Mexico.

Did anyone else see that disgusting commercial presented by Krusty Nome [sic] that aired during Jeopardy! on CBS last night? She thinks people who watch Jeopardy! would be interested in seeing her unprofessional hairstyle and dangle earrings as well as illegal images taken of arrested men on TV.
