Didn't I tell you Bill Barr was a just another lying Trumpanzee?
Trump asked Russia to steal Hillary's emails! AND THEY DID IT!! THAT IS FUCKING COLLUSION.
Why take my word for it, you heard it too! Don't say you didn't. We all heard it. It wasn't a "joke."
"Russia, if you're listening..."
Who you gonna believe: Bill Barr, or your own lying ears?
THIS IS STRAIGHT UP FUCKING FASCISM.
Is there anybody here, reading this, who is still gullible enough to believe that Trump is anything but bad for marijuana legalization, for drug policy, for civil and human rights in general, and for America herself?

The Barr Report is fascist horseshit
The Barr report is a cover-up of the cover-up of Trump's treason.
There are only two options:
1. I live in an alternative universe, in which Trump never said "Russia, if you're listening..."
OR:
2. Bill Barr is a lying motherfucker, just like the rest of the Trumpanzees, and he is gaslighting us, right to our goddamn faces!
Well, fuck Reefer Madness, fuck "alternative facts", fuck Bill Barr, fuck the fascist fucking Republican party, and fuck that ass-clown, Traitor Trump.
Gaslight
Don't let the Republicans gaslight you.
It's deeply tragic that victims of a scam, crime, or assault tend to feel shame and self-loathing, and thus keep quiet when they should be speaking out, while simultaneously, the perpetrators of the injustice openly gloat with glee and contempt. You would think it would be the other way around; the shame should belong to the bad guys, right?
So, again, don't let Trump and Barr and McConnell and Rand and Graham and all the rest -- don't let them gaslight you. Gaslighting is when someone takes a big shit on your head, and then tells you you're being too touchy and sensitive when you protest. They say "You're crazy" or "Can't you take a joke?"
