Take Vladimir Putin, with all the photo-ops he does in Siberia, you'd think he never gets any work done.

This is nice, now maybe Obama can stop acting like a dipsh*t and just 100% legalize the stuff.
Actually wait no I take that back, this isn't nice. It's good the guy got out of prison and stuff, but that is not good enough. Freeing the people in prison over this is not good enough, it's just the first step that needs to be taken, but it is nowhere near good enough. You could free every single person in jail for weed today and it wouldn't be good enough.
It becomes good enough when I can walk to a store and get weed as easily as I could get booze or cigs.

I get that leaders do it all the time. But if that leader is appearing on the Jimmy Kimmell show to read some "mean" tweets, that leader needs to shut the f*ck up about trying to lecture others on what their priorities should be. He also seems fundamentally confused at the purpose of politicians. They do not tell us what is important, WE tell them.
Plus, the "mean" tweets he read were so hilariously tame compared to the ones other celebrities have read about themselves..that you can't even really take any of it seriously.
