    Just make it so all current Congresspeople are grandfathered in.
    Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

      Bingo. It's the only way to get it done. I'm sure Mr. "Art Of The Deal" knows that.
      "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
      "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
      "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

          Catchy phrases and sound bites might get you elected, but they don't always make actionable policy.
          If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

              As Senator Jeff Sessions said "knowledge that this drug is dangerous, you cannot play with it, it is not funny, it's not something to laugh about... and to send that message with clarity that good people don't smoke marijuana."



              Wonder what he will do as the new Attorney General in regards to prosecuting states for marijuana?

                  i wasn't sure what to say about everything. i still want to buy a house someday i think the rate went up .25 the day after. i don't want to sound like my biggest concern is the price of milk either heh.

                  i don't know, when im not sure i understand something i try to put it in terms of nature. it's good to be competitive. could be worse we could have a one party system. we can put some questions to rest like a muslim registry, like didn't fdr fingerprint immigrants? or did eisenhower do operation wetback? while other questions continue like healthcare and global warming can be transferred ownership. sometimes you have to say here you try it then before you can move forward.

                  i can smoke marijuana legally now, i think. i tried to get a medical card for it once but the pot doctor yelled at me for faking. i thought it was weird when they had a poster of a marijuana bud on the wall with the caption natures drug or something. it was actually kind of seedy place. so i figured they would legalize it sooner or later. in the separate building upstairs i think there was a hooker. i went up there first by mistake and there was a guy just leaving and a asian woman. she was pretty. they'll probably be glad the medical marijuana place would move and potheads faking won't accidentally wander up there.

                  i figure the two states most surprised by the election results passed marijuana laws to hedge their bets in case trump wins. and we can go thru the next four years really stoned.

                    I find it encouraging that there are still those in politics who will champion ALL citizens, even if it means defying the Federal Govt.

                    Check out the speech the Mayor of NYC gave recently.

                    It should give you hope that regardless of who sits in the position of POTUS, no matter who thinks they can dictate to the people of this country, there will ALWAYS be those who champion the greater good.

                    Kudos NYC!

                      The Secret Service is considering renting a floor in Trump Tower at $1.5 million per year (your tax dollars at work) to protect the Trump family. Oh, and make that check out to Donald J Trump Sr. This guy is turning the presidency into a personal money making machine lol.

                          Yup, they're also considering using Trump Air to follow the President when he travels...and already foreign dignitaries are lining up to stay in the DC Trump dump (AKA Trumps new Hotel).
