LGBT people using whatever bathrooms they want. (Use the same rules society has always used....if you look more like a guy, use the men's room, if you look more like a girl, use the ladies room....99.99% of people won't give a wet slap)

Legal Abortion (within reason, just don't ask me to pay for it, and at least be honest about what it is you're doing.)

Government funding of Stem Cell research (watched a loved one die of Alzheimer's disease, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy)


So....maybe the Left should ease up on the stereotypes a bit.....ya think?
Because only the left stereotypes?

If the trump goes after states that legalized they will e going against the Will of The People and most Americans favor decriminalizing or legalizing pot. I would also point out that the feds would have a hard time enforcing their laws within states which have legalized it because the state law enforcement agencies work for the State would uphold State Law, in other words the two could very well end up in a face off. I doubt even the trump is stupid enough to go down that path, but one never knows.

Yeah, good question. Democrats and feminists who are for abortion say it's their body, so it should be their choice. So, it's my body, so why shouldn't it be my choice to smoke a blunt or not?

I am glad it is not wide spread.
You apparently don't know anyone that smokes pot on a regular basis. All of the ones I know, are productive adults to society. The ones that are not are the ones that are drugged up on all of them anti-depressants.

Which states would that be?

Here are red states where it's legal (medical or otherwise) or decriminalized;

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
FL
GA
Iowa
Louisana
Michigan
Mississippi
Nebraska
NC
ND
Ohio
OK
Penn.
SC
SD
TN
TX
Wis.

And some states where possession is a misdemeanor;

ID
Kansas
KY
MN
SD
SC
UT
WV
WY

In fact, the only state I can find where it's a felony is AL. And they have legal medical use.

Well, Obama was stupid enough to be the Chief drug warrior.

And in case you don't keep up with the news, here is what Trump said.

"In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state," Trump told The Washington Post. "… Marijuana is such a big thing. I think medical should happen — right? Don’t we agree? I think so. And then I really believe we should leave it up to the states."

Yes, they can agree on marijuana, but after rehab they'll start disagreeing again.

Good then the wet dream of some here will not be happening, or will it, the trump says a lot of things most of which mean nothing. So there is that.
