Time to put prohibition to bed

 I've wished for YEARS both democrats and republicans would DROP prohibition off their platforms entirely. An example for democrats would be gun control. Yes, that does include so called "reasonable" gun laws that aren't reasonable at all. Try applying those same rules to drinking. You have to go down to the police station and beg the chief for a license to drink. No hard liquor allowed, you are regulated to one bottle of wine or a six pack per week, you have to wait one to two weeks to pick it up after order, you have to pass a background check every time you go to buy booze. You need to provide 2 or more references, not related to you that are residents of the state you are living in(just moved in, don't have any local friends, NO LICENSE 4 U!). You have to take a drinking safety course as well.
 Considering how many people have died from alcohol related incidents, none of this is unreasonable, right? After all, no one NEEDS to drink booze.
 As for republicans, give up the war on drugs. It's none of your damn business what people ingest. Same for other "sin" laws, like prostitution and gambling. If someone wants to have a card game for money in their home or roll some dice, it is NONE of the governments business. Outlawing prostitution just leaves the women involved in that business with no where to go if they are abused.The world would be a much better place if Mr. and Ms. Morality, both left AND right stopped being busybodies and left others alone.

The big, NOT so beautiful bill...

  Trump’s big beautiful bill passed and is going to his desk on the 4th when he will sign it. Hoopty fuckin do. The original bill had language in it that stripped short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, and suppressors off of the NFA list. But the Senate Parliamentarian, a woman appointed by Harry Reid, a democrat, apparently has the power of Jesus H. Christ when it comes to what can and can’t be in the bill. So this democrat appointed hack of fucking COURSE decided to strip out the pro 2a part of the bill.
  Republicans had options. The bill goes to the house, where the original pro 2a section could have been added back in. John Thune, so called republican Senate majority leader, had the authority to fire the Senate Parliamentarian, and should have done so.
  Instead of doing this, the House republicans replaced the original wording with a balless reduction in the tax to $0, but leaving all the registration(the part that fucking matters) aspects of SBRs, SBS, and suppressors in place. So the current BBB does NOTHING for gun owners, but cuts food stamp benefits, an attempt to balance the budget off the backs of the poor. This is a stupid move that will cost them votes in urban neighborhoods.
  It’s so fucking aggravating how aggressive the democrats are when it comes to gun control, and how weak the republicans are when it comes to standing behind 2a.

To all the whiners about Trump's tariifs, STFU

 I've been hearing a lot of bitching from the media and democrats about Trump's tariffs. The one word you NEVER hear from any of them is "reciprocal". In other words, Trump is tariffing all the countries which have had unfair, one way trade tariffs against the U.S. for decades.

If any of these countries don't like the tariffs, all they have to do is remove their own. Instead, many, like China, are doubling down and acting insulted, as if receiving the same treatment they have been giving the U.S. for years is an insult. It's like a long time bully acting outraged after his long time victim finally gets sick of it and punches him in the eye. Trump is the first president in memory to stand up to the Euros and Asians when it comes to trade.

  I was wondering why that was so and started thinking about an old saying "follow the money". I wonder just how much money both the democrats and republican politicians got paid to sell out the working man for all those years they did nothing as terrible trade deals and one way tariffs caused U.S. manufacturing to crumble while an unsympathetic media and those same politicians told all the laid off workers to "learn to code".

Trump got all this shit dumped onto his lap, and is actually attempting to do something about it rather than ignoring the problem, as all the previous administrations, both republican and democrat have.

So I'd like to say to the media, democrats, and republicans who have ignored this issue for decades and are now complaining about the ONE person in office who is attempting to deal with this, fuck you and fuck off.

  Yes, there will probably be inflation as these shithole countries(including many of our so called "friends") fight tooth and nail to keep the status quo, which is them fucking over the U.S., but that will eventually end when a taste of their own medicine becomes too painful for them, or manufacturing returns to the U.S.

Don't blame Trump for the pain, blame all the assholes in politics and the media who sold you out.
