“Just two ounces is equivalent to three joints” — the Republican arguments against legal cannabis are going well. #mnleg

I don’t know how to explain to you that other states have legal cannabis and are doing fine

pour one out for all the victims of cannabis overdoses. RIP

"How I almost wrecked my life" -- anti-cannabis Minnesota Republican says he used weed in college and it made him lazy and hurt his grades. I guess this is his reason to keep it illegal.

the same Republican who is against weed because it made him lazy talks about getting a DUI during the same speech

This probably made sense in his head

Margaret Brennan was not having JD Vance's attempt to shift blame to the media for Trump's lying

BRENNAN: If you're VP, do you believe Trump could pardon himself?

VANCE: We know POTUS has to have immunity. Should Obama be prosecuted for droning American citizens?

B: So you do believe POTUS could pardon himself?

VANCE: I believe the president has broad pardon authority.

BRENNAN: In a Trump/Vance administration, would your Justice Department prosecute Joe Biden, and if so for what?

VANCE: Well first of all, that would be the responsibility of the attorney general.

Clyburn: "Take into account the record. Yes, it was a bad performance ... I know when I see what I call 'preparation overload.' And that's exactly what was going on the other night."

Dana Bash gets a bit defensive after Clyburn criticizes the CNN debate for the lack of fact-checking (Bash was one of the moderators)

Literally the first words out of Trump's mouth tonight in Philadelphia were to push the big lie

Trump thinks that pharmacies are storing bars of soap behind "steel" and it takes "45 minutes" to buy a toothbrush

"The FBI crime statistics Biden is pushing are fake." -- Trump's strategy for dealing with the fact that Biden has presided over a decline in crime is to lie about it
