sounds like he’s on “Meth,Coke,Ecstasy and not “Just Pot!”

 

Mayor Pete Wants to Decriminalize
'Meth, Coke, Ecstasy,' Not Just Pot

by Tyler O´Neil

 

Original Article

 

 

.

From the article:

 

"What I’ve seen is that while there continue to be all kinds of harms associated with drug possession and use, it’s also the case that we have created—in an effort to deal with what amounts to a public health problem—we have created an even bigger problem. A justice problem and its form of a health problem."

 

Yes..it's a 'we' problem.  Of course it is, Mayor Pete.  The hundreds of millions of Americans who somehow, as if by magic, avoided the pitfalls of buying illicit drugs on a street corner from a guy named Scubby 2Rox are the real problem.  In fact, let's sit in judgement of the non-meth heads and expunge the criminal records of the drug crazed hordes.  Why on earth would we want the non-meth-heads to know someone may have been incarcerated for a drug crime?  What is there to be afraid of?

 

I say we decriminalize crime entirely.

At this rate he'll be the libertarian candidate.

Maybe he is trying to get an endorsement from Hunter Biden?

A good troll move by Trump would be to offer him the Secretary of Energy job.

Warren’s ‘fantasy’ wealth tax: Here’s all the programs 2020 Dem claims to cover with funding trick

 

By Tyler Olson | Fox News

 

As the progressive wing of the Democratic Party pushes an agenda that asks millionaires and billionaires to pay higher taxes to fund ambitious social programs, 2020 hopeful Elizabeth Warren has made an unprecedented tax proposal on accumulated wealth a centerpiece of her campaign.

 
 

And nearly a year into her presidential bid, that wealth tax has become a central funding mechanism for a host of major policy proposals — despite lingering doubts about its constitutionality and whether it can generate the cash flow she promises. Warren has connected the wealth tax to no fewer than eight separate initiatives:

  • Student debt cancellation
  • Universal childcare
  • Universal pre-k
  • $800 billion in new federal funding for public schools
  • Tuition-free college
  • $50 billion for Historically Black Colleges and Universities
  • $1 trillion for "Medicare-for-all"
  • Tackling the opioid crisis

Elizabeth Warren is nothing more than an old, frustrated school teacher complaining in the staff lounge on her lunch hour. The majority of her proposals are nothing more than a rewording of the typical teacher’s union cries for expanding the ‘state’ run education machine by extending government funding on either end of our already severely underperforming K12 system. And where does the money come from? Why get it from the private sector of course!

I gotta ask...where does this "Karen" meme come from?

 

I know what it is.  But I need to know where it started, because my sister's name is Karen, so when I tell her "Don't be a Karen," I know where it started.

Like I said, I know what it means.  That doesn't tell me the origin.

not sure where my OED volume H-L is, nor where I last left the magnifying glass

 

Doesn’t sound like a name used by PG Wodehouse

Origin

While it's unclear where exactly "Karen" began seeing use as a pejorative character, it perhaps started with the Oh My God, Karen, You Can’t Just Ask Someone Why They're White meme from Mean Girls. Others believe that the popularity of the name may come from the character Karen from the 1989 gangster film Goodfellas (clip below).

I'd wager that's as close as you're going to get.

For goodfellas some people thought he said “caring” while she went on and on in that scene

 

so for awhile people at work and around would say “caring” when one complained, but they really didn’t care
