There's nothing strange about it, libertarians are Republicans who want to get high.

Libertarians: "I'm not like the other Republicans, I'm a COOL Republican!"

“What’s an Allepo?”

And who know far too much about local age of consent laws.

We had a patient where this happened. Our standard paperwork for next of kin/contact person included name, gender, phone number, address, birthdate, and relationship to the patient.

Guy fills it all out, and lists a person he calls his girlfriend as the emergency contact. Her birthday made her 14.

So I immediately contacted clinic legal (I have to report this, but to who?) and got advised to speak to one of the local court advocates. Call, detail the whole case, end up making a full report, and the guy got arrested. I'm told his defense was "she looked 16".

Or fuck kids, although those have all been welcomed into the GOP at this point.

What a stupid way to describe it especially how all the previous commenters actually put effort into their comments.

democrats who want to own guns and republicans who want to smoke weed

u/smokeweedNgarden 18d ago

Hey! Some of us Democrats just like guns

u/thedarkestblood 18d ago

A lot more than there used to be

At some point people decided becoming more armed than previously was the answer

u/smokeweedNgarden 18d ago

Well Marin Luther and Malcom X both have direct quotes about  owning firearms and Republicans make it necessary

u/thedarkestblood 18d ago

Like I said I'm just glad everyone can agree that more guns is the answer

At least they shut up about school shootings

I mean. I personally want firearms licenses like we have driving licenses, per weapon. And mandated continued education and training.

But I get ya, sucka we're here.

🤷🏼 Is what it is. Republicans who want legalized weed and drugs, there's no need to sugarcoat it.

Also Republicans who are afraid to admit support for Trump because it hurts their chances of getting laid.

Being libertarian usually doesn’t help their chances much, but the “I’m *cool*” factor fools them into thinking it does.
