How do the prices vary from state to state?
In legalized states what are the average prices for strains, amounts, sales tax, etc.? How much have the state governments' revenue increased due to the legalization? Also, have the number of overall arrests in states with legalized pot changed?
Cambridge Analytica and the 45 campaign
as well as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

I came across this ad and thought it was fake,
now I can't stop laughing since it IS supposed to be serious (3 years old but more valid now than then).

Feds tour Border Wall prototypes in Otay Mesa near San Diego.
Oh goodie. My government is going to pay for this while my ACA increases by 30+% and I will lose my subsidies(50% of my disability income). Living in this country is not only embarrassing but it sucks in a lot of ways thanks to the GOP and fucking moron.

Have you ever taken or given an IQ test?
I was trained as a teacher of the Gifted and Talented and I have taken them as I prepared for the credential and I also administered them. I also was given an IQ test as were all the students in my high school in the 9th and 11th grades. It is a test that is based on patterns so that language isn't a factor. Once a 3rd grade teacher told me that a student who took the longest to complete the test was from India and she watched him actually turn the test paper around and around, viewing it from different angles. He scored at the genius IQ level. My sister and my niece also scored in the genius level. My sister attended Penn, the same Ivy league school as the moron. My family has many doctors, researchers, etc in professions that require intelligence and I do not know what their IQs are/were but I can assure you that none of them, none of my students, none of my fellow teachers, and none of my fellow students throughout all of my years as a student and educator ever once claimed how intelligent they are.
The moron may have gotten into an Ivy League school, but I doubt he is a genius from my experience. I DO want to see his scores. If he scores over 145 than he is a genius. Yet, that doesn't mean he is intelligent either. Many people have photographic memories but that is all it is...they can not apply it to specific problems/solutions in everyday jobs and their own lives. As a teacher of students with special needs means those student with both high and low IQs. They are all "special" and that means that they have specific learning strengths and weaknesses. The moron in chief most likely has special needs but from what I have gathered it is due to mental disabilities...extreme narcissistic, sociopath disorders which make him unfit to serve as president...even an illegitimate one.
