If Circus Baby was meant to kidnap and not initially kill, then shouldn't have Elizabeth simply have been hurt and not killed?

Afton simply freeing his daughter and framing it as an accident (which it was)?

For the past decade, conservatives Republicans have championed themselves as defenders of free speech and personal freedoms. Yet in Texas they are tightening a ban on THC that further criminalizes marijuana related products.

This is in spite of the objective truth that marijuana is less dangerous than either alcohol or cigarettes, by a considerable margin. The gateway drug theory was also disproven decades ago, yet many still subscribe to it.

Further more, as more data comes in, the legalization of marijuana actually decreases

There is the concept of "don't like it, don't don't do it", but instead conservatives / Republicans continue to be vehemently against it to the point they want to tighten the ban.

Despite their claims about championing personal freedoms, conservatives crackdown on things like marijuana for reasons that don't track with facts or data.

Would love for my views to be changed.

I have a pretty bad stutter when I talk even remotely fast , nervous, surprised or even just normally with "r''s , 's', and a few other things. Every time I would have a stutter episode, people would try to give their advice and tell me to calm down. It virtually completely destroyed my self esteem.

So I simply stopped talking in most social situations that aren't profession related. I adapted to my stutter by teaching myself to naturally talk slowly, so I'm able to do that in professional settings as most of my social exchanges are pre-planned, so I'm able to speak slower and think before speaking.

But in regular situations, I might get excited about something, then I start stuttering, and someone would give their two cents trying to "help". So I pretty much went silent.

On days I don't have meetings and just busy work (I work as a dual programmer and marketer), it's not uncommon for me to speak less than 50 words.

Anyone else have this similar scenario?

It was revealed that Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Rep who pushed for the release of the Epstein files and became an opponent to Trump, lost his primary to a Trump loyalist.

This is concrete proof that Americans genuinely don't care about the Epstein Files, nor the implications that the Epstein Files carry. People talk about their opponents being in the Epstein files, but when it comes to the Epstein Files themselves, there's absolutely no action.

The Epstein Files don't matter to the actual voting populace, and never will. American morality is exclusively limited to the side someone disagrees with.

Would love for my view to be changed.
