Administrations disrespect for the legislative process is an important first step. All immigration policies should serve the interest of the people of the United States, lawful, immigrant and native born alike. Congress should carefully and thoughtfully pursue the types of reforms that are right for the American People. Our nation is comprised of good and decent people the state of texas and also for the people who are First Responders and volunteers and people across this country who have offered not only their prayers of support, but a bunch of people who brought their boats with them to help at a time our nation was in trouble. I would also like to say that the heroism that we witnessed shows i think the very best of this country and everybody pitched in together. I just walked in from watching that this new storm that is out in the atlantic is the largest storm in the history ever recorded at that point and it hasnt even hit warmer water yet.

So the lapd, the police, cant arrest you for having pot but an fbi agent can arrest you. Its confusing, right . Now imagine trying to understand that while youre high. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] even our local News Reporters were celebrating today. This is from our local fox affiliate here in l. A. They put a reporter out on the street in front of a Marijuana Dispensary to wax somewhat poetically about this special day. Happy 4 20. Theres a lot to celebrate. Weve come a really long way.

Santa claus. Hes always laughing. Hes got that beard. Flies around on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, something only a very high person would think of. He sneaks into peoples houses through a chimney for cookies. [ laughter ] all th
