Vermont Governor Phil Scott Vetoes Marijuana Legalization
Of course he's a god damned Repuke. I swear, it's like the Repukes make a sport of trying to screw the people of this country over as much as possible. The legislators and people of Vermont approved of this law, and the shithead governor took it upon himself to be a dictator I guess.
What good are Repukes anyway?
You want healthcare? Nah...Pay up or die.
You want good public education? Nah...We love stupid people. Without them we'd never be elected.
You want fair wages that people can live on? Nah...Get a skill losers
You want help with tuition so you can learn a trade or get skills? Nah. Stupid commies need to get a damn job.
You want to stop locking people up over a plant which is less harmful than alcohol, and which actually has many known benefits? Nah... we only do what big pharma/LE/prison/alcohol want us to do. They pay better. Also we can use drug laws to lock up them minorities and take away their voting rights.
You want to take action on climate change so we don't leave our kids a hellish world? Nah...Takes too much money.
You address poverty and income/wealth inequality? Nah...The rich are our gods, and poor people deserve to have life suck because of their own poor choices.
You want to give gay people equal marriage rights? Nah...The bible says that's bad (Except for the parts of the bible we ignore, like those mentioning wealth and helping the poor/sick).
The repukes are truly vile loathsome creatures, and the ignorant people of this country keep voting them in because "Muh family values", "Gotta stop dem terrorizers", "Build dat wall" and stupid slogans like "bringing jobs back and making Murica great again DUR!" The saddest part is how they call themselves "Christians" while their actual actions grounded in greed, bigotry, corruption and general ignorance.

Republican Gov. Phil Scott today rejected legislation, Senate Bill 22, that sought to eliminate criminal and civil penalties for the adult use and possession of marijuana. The Governor said that he did not support the legislation as written, but remains open to working with lawmakers over the summer on ways to amend the state’s cannabis policies.
Representatives from the Vermont Association of Police Chiefs, the Vermont Medical Society, and the Vermont American Academy of Pediatrics were among those groups opposing S. 22.
“It is disappointing that Gov. Scott would not only defy the will of state legislators, but also the will of the majority of Vermont voters who support ending criminal penalties for those adults who consume cannabis responsibly,” NORML Political Director Justin Strekal said. “Minor marijuana possession offenders should not be saddled with a criminal record and the lifelong penalties and stigma associated with it. Rather than looking to the future, Gov. Scott seems intent on repeating the failures of the past.”
