My theory on cannabis is if they're going to list it as a narcotic again (which was also crazy because it's not a narcotic) it will need to be done fairly soon, like in the next year or two. After like five years of legalization, it would be much harder to do a reverse.
Describing what the republican party is doing as financial terrorism is (sadly) not hyperbole.
From their ex-president who is leading to be nominated again in 24:
Truth Social
I said before in the event of a debt default that social security checks would be prioritized which I have heard before.
Well. Maybe not.
According to this the government may not have the authority or ability to prioritize like that and if they did it might be challenged in court.
So what this means is that Americans might not get their June checks or maybe they'd get a partial check.
That could be serious for retired expats here that use the income method.

It's a bigger risk to happen this time because trump wants it to happen and speaker McCarthy can lose power over just one vote. Their extremist wing including mad woman Marjorie Taylor Greene are very capable of mad actions.
Do that at budget time
Don't threaten to blow up the world economy.
Also when Trump was in power with his atrocious tax cuts for the rich you didn't hear a peep from his fascist party about deficits.
Also they are such vile hypocrites. They actively oppose more IRS agents that are needed to audit the complex taxes of the wealthy where the take ins would be massive and help reduce the deficit.
Don't even bother to assert the fascist party actually cares about deficits.
Thru obviously do not.
I'm assuming he will want to start with an O, not an OA.
So the next question is how he can best get the initial O. In his home country, in another country, or in Thailand (as a conversion from a tourist visa or entry stamp).
Yes it could.
Crashing dollar. Crashing stock market. Social security checks will be prioritized to be paid but not indefinitely.
It's the republican party's fault.
They are financial terrorists.
More toxic than foreign enemies.
Raise the debt ceiling (money already spent) and negotiate the budget separately as is supposed to be done.
