Jackson Jambalaya

Before the votes are counted. Could Espy really win. Last year Delbert got 60% of the vote and Tater only got 52%. So 8% of Delberts vote voted for Jim Hood who's every bit as liberal as Espy. There's a percentage that will generally vote conservative but turn and vote liberal.

God, can you imagine the Senate flipping because Mississippi conservatives shot the bird at Granny Clampett?

Espy had to lie to get the nomination. His history of unethical corruption hasn’t been forgotten. He will not win.

In for the shitshow.

Mitch McConnell wins.
Mississippi goes Trump again.
Florida holding his own in Florida.
Three good signs.

Bryant retains his millions in PAC money. 65 passes despite Bryant's lobbying efforts. Big pharma should demand a refund.

Initiative 65 wins with 70% in favor. GOP goes all in with legal maneuvers to defeat the will of 70% of the electorate, which is vastly majority conservative. Tate in jeopardy in 2023. Mary's face melts off.

Based on early numbers, 65 passes. The 65 over 65a vote exceeds the yes/no part. That means even the people against MM voted 65 over 65a. That is nothing but a bird finger to our stupid legislature.

With the same vote count (over 80% counted), Fox has NC a 93% probability of a Biden win, while the NY Times has NC a 94% probability of a Trump win.

In 2023 the people needs to do a clean sweep of our stupid legislature.
1) Force a flag down our thoart!
2) Added a confusing vote on the ballot.
3) F*** the red neck legislature!

Well I guess the “non stoners” have spoken Tate.

yeah, well, 70% of the people are voting for that new flag.

Hang on to the Senate. That's all the really matters. And screw Tate and Phil and our legislature.

There's a significant gap in the votes for Trump and the votes for Granny. But at least our Senate seat didn't flip. If there was more cushion in the Senate, I would have voted for Espy like a lot of other protesting conservatives.

CNN still hasn’t called Mississippi...fake news

We about to get Med Mary!

Apparently, the cops got 'ole Pheeel himself to post on Facebook his editorial about the horrible dangers of Mary Jane the Great Gateway Drug. Never mind the Bevy of Beverages that will kill a liver (and you on the highway) and is extremely addictive. People like me can be helped today by alleviating pain naturally with medically-prescribed pills that are THC-based. Thanks to drug addicts and greedy doctors, other drugs are no longer available. There are plenty of reasons for Mississippi to join the ranks of States that allow access to cannabis whether it be dispensed medically or recreationally. Otherwise, take away the beer, the whiskey and the cigarettes. Police look at marijuana as an easy tool for a bust and there are too many people locked up with ruined lives over a small amount of grass. Cocaine, heroin, unprescribed drugs, absolutely. Treat these people differently. Find the source and take them off the streets. And if someone is over-served alcohol and then someone gets hurt...link them with the crime. Same for someone who is driving a vehicle stoned. Treat us as adults and make the penalties equivalent with the crime. But for those of us who choose to behave as adults, let us be. And for those of us who face intense pain, give us the natural pain relief.

You think Epsy worries....dude get a life.

So much for Madison County turning blue. LMAO

Damn us Mississippi folk now got Casinas, Lottery, Sports Betting, Maryjuana, and a new flag. The outsiders gonna be fighting to move into our beloved state. Let the good times roll.

Thanks Kingfish! Great to just read instead of all the busy, busy TV hysteria.

When I open my Shoppe on Main in Madison...just wait for the Mad Mary!!!

Watching Mississippi (Democrats) Today self-immolate for Espy has been a hoot.

@10:41. Your “weed sold here” sign will really small with backlighting.

Update: From my earlier post. Oregon legalizes Hard Drugs for personal use. So what happens to the drug dealers who are peddling this stuff.

@10:41 Is there anywhere in Madison proper that isn't inside the banned distance from a church or school? I think there are entire town in MS that can't have a dispensary "in town" due to the distancing rules.

Mary is lucky Joel doesn't want to be Mayor! Stay in yo lane Mary!

If Trump wins tonight or this week, it’ll be a great thing for the county. Not because of many of the normal metrics we might use to choose a leader, but because it will me a slap in the face for the Democrats and will likely awaken the party to move towards the center if they expect to win moving forward. The dems need to push back hard against the extreme left.

Watching Mississippi (Democrats) Today self-immolate for Espy has been a hoot.

~62% reporting, Espy barely over 40% of the vote and the indentured reporter over at the C-L exclaims that Espy "had gained momentum in recent weeks". You just can't make this stuff up.

Biden scheduled to speak at 11:30 our time. Hopefully he bows out gracefully.

one deal, investors are going to invest....

Polling relies on honestly, if you are too chicken shit to support him publicly same on you.

11:22. LOL! And we are not LOL with you.

I'm glad the legislature took one one the chin regarding medical marijuana. A marijuana bill would have never gotten out of committee regardless of what supertalk said. And if it had it would have been screwed up.

Dear God let it be officially over soon.

Screw Tate, Phil, Mary, the legislature and this corrupt political system we have in Mississippi. I expect them to press on in their fight despite 70% of the state disagreeing with their MM stance. That big pharma money must be mighty addictive for them to continue this sham moralism.

Thank God, Mississippi finally has disposed of its racist old flag. I don't particularly like the design of the new flag but anything is better than what we had.

So I wake up and Joe Biden is the winner bit Trump still won't concede. Not surprised at all.

Anybody know a doc, I need a script.

The Fish said, "yeah, well, 70% of the people are voting for that new flag."

It might appear that way to the untrained eye; however, most were simply voting against the retired flag and didn't know any better.

BREAKING: Overnight, Espy assumed a Vice Presidency position at Sprint-Mart. Press conference scheduled for 10:00 a.m. today to announce he'll share an office and company truck with Gerald Steen.

Espy is just going to have to make ends meet on his county counsel pay. Will he still be able to make the payments on his 5,500 sq. ft. million dollar home in Bridgewater IV, or will the lobbyists continue to pitch in?

Phillip Gunn got his a@@ handed to him on the medical marijuana issue. Poor attempt at confusing the voters with 65A. Keep letting things "die in committee".

Well, the election here turned out much like I figured it would. Progressives across the country hoped the high Election Day turnout would still favor Democrats, when it was actually the opposite. I’m happy that it’s all over, if only so that I don’t have to see another campaign ad with Senator Granny Clampett. Bless her heart, she can go crawl back to the rock she’s been hiding under the last 2 years for the next six. Meanwhile, the MSGOP is already looking for the white guy in their ranks who can primary her in 2026.

BTW, Biden will be our President come January 2021.

To the 5:42 idiot.........

California is in need of more stupid people!!!!!! Sounds like you'd fit right in there. If you move to San Francisco, you can build a house without any bathrooms. Just think, you can even sh*t in Nancy Pelosi's.

State leaders called in all favors over medical marijuana. Every lobbyist and trade association and department head in state government came out against it, mainly because they were told to. It sounded like a giant uproar on social media until the actual voters spoke up. Some self-important people look pretty silly now.

Dr. Truly will have quite a few patients at his new clinic now with the Med Weed making it. Good money there Bill.

Doesn't Mike work for M&M or is his just lending his face to their billboards?

Will Medicare pay for my reefer and bong? Asking for a friend.

I voted for Trump and before I could sit down and enjoy my supper this nut announces that the American election held in the toughest of circumstances is a fraud. Because he wasn't the automatic winner! I had to take another shower.

Biden has won the popular vote and has the clear electoral college lead. All that is left are for the mail in votes to be counted. And Trump told his people to vote in person. So clearly Biden is the victor. Trump needs put bisbego aside and face the facts. He has one last chance to help heal the nation that he has tried to destroy. He must conceed by noon today.

These are some great posts. Hood was a very popular democrat. He pulls that aw shucks I love guns, mamma, church ad catfish pretty well. Thank goodness enough enough people saw thru it as log as you sit with the Dems thats a deal breaker because when push comes to show that is the way he will vote.

Pass the doobie to the left hand side. Mississippians in five years will eb like who voted for this? The way they pulled this marijuana coop off much like Casinos. Well organized.

All I am saying is two months ago espy trailed by 1% and lost by 14%. Obama got involved running commercials for Espy. Also dems under performed in Florida when Obama heavily campaigned. Is it safe to say dems will be like Hey Obama dont call us we will call you in the future. He seemed to energize Republicans much more then Dems in elections.

State GOP leaders are huddling as we speak to plan the next move against MM.

Did anybody else see the social media post by Palazzo yesterday stating that people supporting 65 could not be republicans, conservatives or Christians? Dude got his rump handed to him and he deleted it, but plenty of screen shots floating around.

I'm actually surprised pot won overwhelmingly. I don't like the new flag design. I'd rather have the Stennis flag and I didn't care for that flag either.

10:18 PM
>Casinas
Are those female casinos? I'll see myself out.

Mississippi has once again proven to be the dumbest state in the Union. In addition to putting out the welcome mat to weed and embracing drug-using losers with open arms, they have adopted a stupid and ugly flag.

But, from when we have all been told by idiots like Hosemann, Ladd, and Gunn, not that these things ate in place, the jobs and companies will come running to this progress state with our top-both universities and highly educated population

Hahahaha. You guys are suckers.

I will apply/certify as a AG farmer to grow some sticky icky! Let’s go Mi’ssippi!

Somebody check on Kingfish. We should be at 100 posts by now.

Congratulations, proponents of 65. Though the legislature has FAILED miseraby to do anything with medical marijuana the past 20 times they've had the ability, you all have screwed your state and more importantly your local communities. Zero tax $$ to be diverted (unlike in other states), sweeping protections for a business in the STATE CONSTITUTION (absoultely unheard of AND more lenient than any other state's MM laws). Though you claim this is for "medicinal purposes" and you "must have a script" I guarantee you many that do NOT need MM for "medicinal purposes" will indeed have a coveted card. I just hope all you card holders aren't looking to purchase firearms with your card and I pray that you are never pulled over with a gun in your car while you have an active MM card. :) Congrats FOOLS! Joel Bomgar gotcha!! and got richer in the process :)

At 11:32. Ahhh....you should smoke one.

Yeh. The mary jane card will become just like a handicap parking sticker. Everyone has one.

A Casina is where Haley Barbour gambles.

To those claiming MIssissippi’s electorate has “screwed itself” by passing I65 because it won’t be taxed, there’s nothing stopping the legislature from throwing in the towel on this issue, making it recreational and taxing the hell out of it. There’s no question recreational dope could bring tons of tax dollars into the State’s coffers which would go along way if the a significant portion of the collected weed tax is earmarked for education like it is in Colorado.

I agree with 11:32. But, don't blame the people. This falls directly on the legislature. Many fingers to point at but I will leave it at that.

And another one....

Here's the list of Mississippi medical marijuana qualifying conditions
Amber Roberson
Mississippi Clarion Ledger





One main qualifier is that those receiving medical marijuana cards in Mississippi have to be suffering from one of 22 "debilitating medical conditions" and have their status certified by a physician.

Those conditions include:
Cancer
Epilepsy or other seizures
Parkinson's disease
Huntington's disease
Muscular dystrophy
Multiple sclerosis
Cachexia
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Positive status for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
Chronic or debilitating pain
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Glaucoma
Agitation of dementias
Crohn's disease
Ulcerative colitis
Sickle-cell anemia
Autism with aggressive or self-injurious behaviors
Pain refractory to appropriate opioid management
Spinal cord disease or severe injury
Intractable nausea
Severe muscle spasticity
Bunions
Lazy eye

We are witnessing democracy in action. Stop all this silly counting and delay. Let the courts finally decide. Go Trump!

@2:22 how exactly is refusing to count legally-cast ballots “democracy in action?” If a ballot complies with the law of the state in which it was cast, not counting it is the most undemocratic thing you could possibly do.

I don’t know about you, but I was always taught, and teach my kids, that patience is a virtue. And they’ve learned that bitching and moaning about how long something is taking or demanding it be done now only prolongs the wait. We don’t put up with this shit from our kids, why do we have to put up with it from our president?

Now that all the ballots have been cast, what’s the deal with the COVID stimulus money Trump used to extort votes from people trying to maintain their status quo while politicians fight over whether the virus is real and how it should be handled? They don’t get in a hurry when we need something, so we shouldn’t be in a hurry to give them something they want. Life is a two-way street and, unfortunately, those in power need to be reminded of that at every turn.

It is time for us to come together around President Elect Biden and demand Trump's extrication from the White House so that he can't do anymore damage to this nation.

Not that I like it, but I do feel it will be Comrade Chairman Harris over Trump. Never really had much for either. But, it is time we as a country got a good azz f%cking. Gonna be great watch prices soar away and businesses shuttered again. Like I have said before, the Repubs need to be working on a new candidate, in earnest this time. Congrats Slave holders. Wonder who will invent, design and fly the first electric airliner.

Weapons, ammo and provisions. Get them now.

"One main qualifier is that those receiving medical marijuana cards in Mississippi have to be suffering from one of 22 "debilitating medical conditions" and have their status certified by a physician." In using the term debilitating does that mean unable to hold employment? Wonder what happens to people employed that qualify for MM and have to undergo pee testing to hold a job? Thinking of cops, FF's, pilots, MD's, RN's etc. These folks may not hold a job, but then again. Never had the chance to read the whole bill/law.

Send lawyers guns and money.

3:42...but its ok to operate heavy equipment if you test negative for pot while heavily sedated on opioids prescribed by the same doctor. Got it

Well now let's think about this..

The State has a MONOPOLY on alcohol distribution and can't get that right!

-Casino gambling TAX MONEY managed by the legislature would solve all of MS's education woes and have us driving on streets of gold

- MS lottery, managed by the legislature would build bridges and roads(you remember) those already built by the casino money

My mantra going forward is if they hold a public office and have for some time...VOTE THEM OUT!

It's past time we become the monsters that the left claims we are.

@7:49 Yep get off the internet and become a monster than loser/poser, I mean you are so scary typing on a internet blog, No soft targets either gooper, no more coward moves from the likes of your kind!

https://twitter.com/Soapmoine/status/1324286193106898944/video/1

@ 5:50....Warren Zevon was only too right...but there's already a Lot of Lawyers, Guns & Money involved in the Weed industry, gonna be a lot more. (Eventually Taxed)

If you can find the 8-2-2020, 60 minutes segment on California Weed legalization, watch it.  It did the opposite of what they thought, just like the other poster said about the other schemes to Fix the State's Money Woes (Casinas, Lottery, Sports Betting).

What happened to the Tobacco Money?...From PBS

Moore hired Dick Scruggs, a friend from Ole Mississippi Law School, to research and develop the case.
The two of them, nicknamed Scro and Mo, then took their idea on the road and convinced other Attorneys Generals.


Where's the BP Money?

Mike Moore: Right. I don't care one whit about any money in this case. Not one whit whatsoever about it.
Bill Whitaker: Nobody's gonna believe that the attorneys are not going to make any money.
Mike Moore: No, no, no. No, no, and I'm not saying that. I was talking about-- all I can speak for is me.
Bill Whitaker: You made money off tobacco.
Mike Moore: Nope, not a penny.
That's because for all the years of the tobacco litigation & many years after, Moore was working for a modest state salary as Mississippi attorney general.
Bill Whitaker: You made money off of BP spill.
Mike Moore: I made some money on helping resolve the case, yeah.

Where's the Opioid Money?

Attorney General Jim Hood in December sued three distribution companies — Cardinal Health, McKesson Corp. and Amerisource Bergen Corp. — claiming they failed to monitor and flag suspicious orders of opioids that flowed into certain Mississippi counties in recent years. May 8, 2019

Mike Moore 60 Minutes...Opioid Lawsuits..(The Money is in Distributors, not the Manufacturer)

Mike Moore: The distributors are saying things like, "We're just truck drivers. We didn't know where the pills went." Of course, they did. There's a Controlled Substance Act. Controlled Substance Act. You're supposed to control these pills. And when you don't, you have a responsibility for it. It-- it's real simple.

It's also simple why Moore is going after the biggest players in drug distribution: because they have much deeper pockets than the manufacturers. Purdue Pharma, for example, had less than $2 billion in revenue in 2017. Distributor McKesson, by contrast, had $208 billion in revenue.

Moore...“Well, you can’t sue the federal government, you can’t sue all the individuals for taking the drugs. Trying to sue all the doctors in the country wouldn’t work very well, so what I say is if there’s 100% fault out there amongst many, many players, at least go to the people who made the billions of dollars on this.”

September 2019, Purdue Pharma filed for bankruptcy after several cities sued the company for its role in creating the opioid crisis. (Pardue is privately owned with the Sackler family worth an estimated 13 Billion.)

“We will bring this industry to their knees right here in Mississippi, and I’m proud of that,” said Mike Moore.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/opioid-crisis-attorney-mike-moore-takes-on-manufacturers-60-minutes-2019-08-26/



In Mike Moore's 1st 60 Minutes interview, he gave a hint of his next target...Big Sugar because Soft Drinks cause health problems.

Kentucky law professor Richard Ausness said...Trial attorneys, he says, stand to make millions off pooling their resources ...

“Other lawsuits of this nature might be brought against other manufacturers,” Ausness said. “I saw something recently about, ‘We ought to sue Big Sugar — you know, sugar does all sorts of bad things for people.’ So, I don’t see any end in sight. I mean, if it works for the plaintiffs, if they get something out of it & of course the trial lawyers are doing pretty well, too, why stop?”
