Where I live the complaints have been heard concerning cigarette smoke. NO smoking in bars and eating establishments. No smoking within 50 feet of most stores. I believe they are working on a law for no smoking in your car that has a minor being transported in it.

The smoke from pot will receive the same complaints and have the same laws imposed as cigarettes. I will not ignore the smoke from anyones cigarette or jumbo joint.

It's amazing to me that in a contest between someone who commits criminal acts endangering national security and accepting bribes against someone with a potty mouth people can't see that the choice is not difficult. It's a matter of degree and the difference is vast. Criminal acts vs bad language.

I'll take the bad language, hold my nose and vote for Trump.

Finance is certainly no judge of character. That being said, I think that even in Germany there is a need for a solid financial backing to any political campaign? Even Grassroots ones need their backers.
Take UKIP (

) for example, they have basically been kept going by the charity of Arron Banks, and since the success of Brexit, UKIP has basically collapsed in on itself, Banks is reported to be not so willing to put money towards it, instead thinking of creating a right-wing political pressure group in the shape of the left wing 'Momentum'. If this happens UKIP will likely cease to exist, since it is already in major financial difficulties.
It's hard to think of any political party which has attained success in the last few decades which has not had significant financial support.

Fortunately, unless they can shoot someone in the back or just gang up on someone, these wannabe won't do much but whine and drink beer.

Of course of the three MJ is the least harmful but it's the only one that remains illegal. It's that legal inconsistency which is finally being addressed so a candidate that has smoked it in the past is not a problem for me.

Speaking of not inhaling, what a load of bovine feces that was. How like a Clinton to try weasel his way out of responsibility for his actions and it's obvious that his wife is just like him.

I'm telling you that we put these two back in the oval office at our peril because they'll steal more than the White House furniture this time.

I had considered buying a case of SKS's and a pallet of 7.62x39 so I could be a Militia Colonel someday.

I recall in Back to the Future II that the Cubs won the world series and a casino owner with bad hair was ruining peoples lives.

Guess they were only a year out...
