Sean Hanity...so sad

I do know that it crosses over into the criminal if they say that 100% goes to the "bla bla poor..sick...bla bla" and then they buy something for themselves like a new car or jewelry. But, that's hard to prove and it has to be proven that the money collected went directly to that.

In Hannity's case, he's not really buying anything for himself: they are rentals, hotel rooms, and fancy concerts. So, it's really hard to say he's buying shit for himself beyond attending his events in style. He could easily justify that by claiming that he wants people to think he's "power" and "celebrity" to encourage them to donate or donate more, which could be partially true.

But how are you going to prove mens rea with that attitude?

but I think thats the rub. We both know why he is buying those suites, and it isn't ridiculous to call it fraud, its just not a provable case as far as the letter of the law then, right?

awehuh

Actually, most of your weed is domestic, grown in like farm country (if you are from Oaklahoma, which for some reason seems right, most of the stuff you would see would be in State). I don't think you guys have the same density of in home grow ops as we do, but I can't be sure.

The formost importer of marijuana is Mexico, but the Cartels are now moving north of the border into Californias massive forests and other areas. Afghanistan and Jamacia (South asia and the Carribean/Latin America) are smaller players.

Canada comes after Mexico, iirc, but serves a different market generally. If you have a pound of good Canadian pot grown in BC, by the time you reach Floridia, you can trade it 1 for 1 with cocaine (which causes interesting social issues in the criminal world, given Canadian pot growers rarely carry guns [or did prior to dealing with American coke dealers]).

Exactly. It is DESPICABLE what he's doing and I find him disgusting. I probably didn't make that clear as it seemed like I was defending him. Morally, it's fraud. Legally, it isn't else someone would have grilled his ass already.

Really? Yeah, I heard that Weed is Oklahoma's #2 or #1 cash crop. I was just commenting that I don't have any weed to smoke in my house. Man, when it becomes legal, you bet your sweet ass that I'll be buying some black indica or master kush...then vaping it before I go to bed, each night.

Oh yeah. All the marijuana dealers I knew, when I was a teenager, all got it from Mexico either directly or indirectly, despite being in Oklahoma.

Yeah, I've heard that BC weed is pretty damned good.

Mind you, I study MJ, but I've NEVER smoked it, and will never smoke it until it's legal where I live. It's a moral thing for me because I do NOT want to break the law, in any way: it would hurt my ability to get a top secret security clearance if or when I get a job in Cyber Security.

This is an eye-opener 😱

just fyi, not legal here either

Canada as a society is just more lax about it, and our police force isn't militarized against it

and like, I've never heard of drug tests here, it might even be illegal in most cases...

I wouldn't hold your breath on it becoming legal either 🙁

Really?

I've heard mixed bags (lulz, pun): some territories it's legal, some it's not: it's illegal everywhere: it's legal. So, I guess your above post settles it.

I plan to make it legal when I become President: even if I have to executive order and reconciliation that shit.

...yeah, right. Objectivism just runs rampant at this forum. We need heroes to stand up to the Randian oppression, no one can say a word against it without being shouted down or even banned. This forum is like some freaky objectivist nazi place.

lol

I'm so confused as to where the **** you're coming from. Seriously. I'm confused as hell. Granted, you're jumping on Meep-meep's ass for being a critic of Randian social ideals...

I'm not, it is perfectly fine to be critical of Rand's views, to be honest the two people on here that even come close to objectivist views (inimalist and I) are critical of her as well. My point is there isn't some objectivist taint on these forums, there are a few people with libertarian views, but to pretend that it is prevalent on here, is ridiculous (further I dislike the straw man of Rand's thoughts that gets attacked constantly, but that's besides the point)

I've designed a new American flag for the conservative movement and I want fox news to be the first to fly it!

An axe with sticks around it, the symbol from which the name of the fascist movement was derived.

I think that's a straw man being represented by the Teabaggers. Correct me if I'm wrong

Ahhh. I see it now.

However, this is why I couldn't make out what that was:

I've never see the axe upside down into the stack, like that...and I couldn't even tell what the hell it was. I thought it was a door that had been opened, but that didn't make sense since the conservatards want to close our borders down, not open it up.

Ah, ok, I see it now too.

Funny fact, those fasces were the weapons used by the roman bodyguards the "Lictors", which, besides politicians also guarded the vestal virgins. Mmmmm, virgins. droolio

The more you know!

the fasces on black was actually the flag of fascist italy. More subtle and elegant than the swastika or the british circle and thunderbolt.

I thought it was a bong. 😂 But that would have been a Liberal flag. However, you would have to change the red to yellow.
