    Not surprise by the marijuana corruption case, politicians in general remain inclined to put their hand in whatever cookie jar you’ve got, as noted frequently here their all working an angle. Or as I like to say pulling a Paradee.

      I think the holdup on legalization in Delaware is securing a monopoly or oligarchy for cop-connected proprietors. Never forget that the police are the most corrupt public agency, always have been and always will be.

    “I will sign the omnibus and Covid package with a strong message that makes clear to Congress that wasteful items need to be removed. I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill,” Trump said on Sunday night.

    What a jerk.
