Versus Lindsey Graham 2016. I think hes a kook. When all in starts right now. This is kookland. Good evening from new york, im chris hails. Right now at this very moment the senate is debating the mostambitious rewrite of the tax code in over three decades. And nobody, and i mean nobody, knows precisely whats in the bill. Or what exactly it would do. In a session on the floor, om lawmakers scrambling to get legislation passed before it can see the light of day, before anyone can figure out whats in it. Adding to the urgency is the increasingly unhinged behavior of the president of the United States, whose pen they still need to sign a tax bill into law. This bill that theyre debating right now, that they plan to vote on tomorrow, is why, for the past year and a half, republicans have chosen to tolerate Donald Trumps destabilizing, dangerous conduct. Nothing hes done has outweighed the singular goal of getting this thing passed. Not his bragging about committing Sexual Assault backed up

“I think we should decriminalize marijuana, period. And I think everyone anyone who has a record should be let out of jail, their records expunged, be completely zeroed out, Senator Joe Biden said during a Democratic primary debate in November 2019.
That represented a big move from Biden s much less weed-welcoming stance in previous years, and now some of America s largest marijuana trade and advocacy groups are calling on President Biden to make good on his campaign statement. In a public letter addressed to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Minority Cannabis Business Association, National Cannabis Industry Association and the newly formed United States Cannabis Coalition, among others, call on the president to immediately issue a general pardon for all former nonviolent federal marijuana offenders, and free anyone federally incarcerated for nonviolent, marijuana-only offenses in states where their former pot crimes are n
