(/s Lol, luckily I don't know anyone that voted trump, I mean I don't know what distant relatives voted for, but they're in another state so I don't care π€·ββοΈ)
"How do you deal with the fact that Trump will die of old age soon and you basically voted for J.D. Vance instead?"
They donβt care, they like Vance too.
They relate to his general unlikability and being a piece of shit person.
They would vote for Kim Jong Un if they thought it would it would upset βlibruhlsβ.
That's literally why my several members of my family voted for Trump. They really don't like Trump (they voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries), but they really like Vance and hope he'll take over at some point.
I was blown away, because I was under the impression that Vance was fairly universally disliked. I immediately responded with some equivalent of "clearly we watch very different news."
Wait, it's physically possible to like Vance? I was sure the dislike is on a genetic level like uncanny valley.
You know what, I'm convinced.
Deport everyone with immigrant blood from America.
I think we should just deport everyone, no matter what. It'll be a nice little sanctuary after.
Bro's trying to deport the Indians on Thanksgiving π
Wouldn't be the first time.

Make America native again!

You know, there's technically nothing stopping them from voting for Putin as Speaker of the House.
Some mysterious falling out of windows later he could be president
What's mysterious about a tragic suicide?
The convenience of it always happening to people who are harsh critics or in the way of putin. Just always to mysterious. That or standards for windows are terrible
It would almost be worth it to watch him having to deal with all the MTGs he's put in congress
I was thinking about explaining that trump legalized trans weed last time he was president so why not go fully legal?
Itβs truly amazing that orange man legalized weed in 2018.
You know for a goddamn fact that nobody in congress nor the orange man intended to do this.
Yet another example of old white men legislating on stuff they donβt understand but at least in this case itβs a win for us
I mean, honestly I think it really cuts to the root of it - they didn't care, because they believe in nothing.
They wanted to create a business opportunity for ~~the billionaires bribing them~~ their buddies, and they literally give no shits about side effects (unless someone rich is willing to pay to change the side effects)
I've tried to explain what delta 8 vs delta 9 is too many times so I'm trying to simplify it.
Well that clears that up
Weed isn't a single drug, it's a complex plant that contains many psychoactive compounds called cannabinoids. The best known and (probably) most intoxicating of these is what's commonly called THC, technically delta-9-THC, though over 100 others have been identified so far. Some of these are highly (pun intended) psychoactive while some appear, at least to the user, to be pharmacologically inert. Regardless, a hastily-written 2018 federal farm bill which was partially intended to legalize commercial hemp essentially legalized all of them including even tiny (<0.3%) concentrations of delta-9. That has allowed for a massive market of legal (in states which haven't since passed their own laws saying otherwise) weed. It's not the same weed sold by regulated recreational/medical dispensaries in legal states, though. Rather, these are the products you may have seen in gas stations and head shops, most of which contain at least some delta-8-THC, a compound that is very closely chemically related to delta-9. The key thing to understand, though, is that despite very similar chemical structures, two related drugs can vary substantially in terms of their potency and subjective effects.
I think that's about as simple as I know how to make it but I'll be over here spending my Thanksgiving evening in bed with my dogs and a bottle of wine if anyone has questions.

So like keeping sugar illegal but legalizing all the artificial sweetners.
Eh, kind of but not really. This is where it starts to get complicated and where I'm out of my chemical depth.
While (some) cannabis does contain at least trace amounts of many of these compounds, essentially all of the intoxicating cannabinoids produced other than (most of the) delta-9 are actually semi-synthetic, originating from hemp-extracted CBD. Now, as long as the product of the reaction (IIRC, isomerizarion involving heat and something like citric acid) is pure, the fact that it was synthetically produced does not in and of itself make that resulting compound unsafe. Where it gets hairy is the fact that even delta-9 remains poorly studied today thanks to over five decades of prohibition, and we have basically no idea what ingesting large quantities of any one of these 100+ minor (think something on the order of <1% in the average plant) cannabinoids is actually doing to our bodies.
The real issue, though, is that the lack of any regulatory oversight whatsoever allows shady, greedy distributors to cut an already dirt cheap product with even cheaper and potentially deadly chemicals like vitamin K. You'll likely hear a disproportionately loud amount of "delta-8 bad" talk (and I'm not trying to promote its use, either) but the most serious harm probably has less to do with the compound itself and more to do with such toxic adulterants. That said, scientifically studied or not, there are reputable and entirely legal sources for many of these substances, although they aren't necessarily gas stations.
Wait, I can get my moobs removed?
You've already received a joke answer, so yes, breast reduction surgery for guys is a thing. And sometimes the doctor can convince some insurance companies to cover it. But ymmv, because USA.
Trump is going back to being a Democrat. I feel like I've been lied to, but you obviously saw it coming and was one step ahead of me all along. Well played.
That's not what it says
the study found that cisgender males accounted for the vast majority of breast reductions, with 80% of surgeries among adults performed on cisgender men and 97% of surgeries among minors performed on cisgender male teens.

Putting the CEO of a space ship company in charge of the government's space ship funding makes about as much sense as letting Congress vote on giving themselves raises
I heard his AG has plans to send in the military to take away your guns! For your safety!
Heard about something about how his AG pick potentially making it so at least people must register their guns. No idea how true or if it's gonna happen, but I imagine that alone would be enough to make a lot of his voters super angry.
everyone should save their grocery store receipts and compare them to similar purchases a few months from now
