1. TRUE OR FALSE

1. The retirement of Sen. Ben Sasse holds greater meaning beyond his simply leaving the job.

2. Sasse well known as a Trump critic

1. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/06/sasse-expected-to-resign-from-senate-00060812

2. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/06/politics/ben-sasse-resigning-senate/index.html

3. Taking a job as President of University of Florida

4. Anything here other than naked ambition of a Presidential run, set up by getting to base from Florida instead of Nebraska?

5. Sasse said he and his wife have been “pursued by wonderful institutions the past two years, but we’ve resisted being a finalist. This time is different because the University of Florida is different: I think Florida is the most interesting university in America right now.”

6. Gov. Ricketts could appoint himself to the seat

1. Yeah… NO

1. Elon Musk

1. He’s buying twitter, he lost, he’s a loser, and he might also be a russian troll farm come to life

2. Buy or Sell

1. Missourians will vote to have a constitutional convention

2. How is this a real thing?

1. ​​https://www.sos.mo.gov/CMSImages/Elections/Petitions/ArticleXIISection3a.pdf

1. The ballot measures for 2022

1. https://www.sos.mo.gov/default.aspx?PageID=10056

1. https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2771168638614/all-missouri-voters-will-see-these-five-questions-on-the-ballot-here-s-what-they-mean

1. Every 20 years the question is posed to voters - do you want to have a constitutional convention for the State

2. Some Dems support it because all changes would have to be approved by voters

1. Big One:

1. Biden’s Big Federal Pot Pardon

2. Just in time for the midterms

3. MJ is fully illegal - meaning there is NO form, not even CBD that is legal, in 4 states.

1. https://disa.com/maps/marijuana-legality-by-state

2. Kansas, Wyoming, Idaho, South Carolina

4. What about banking? Sen. Durbin calling that out as something that has to be fixed

5. Just announced a few days ago, will be interesting to see Biden approval

1. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/?ex_cid=rrpromo

6. Missouri Amendment 3 - seems to be a LOT of push back on it

1. Democratic party officially took NO position on it

2. Have seen a few Dems out actively campaigning against it (not gonna call anyone out)

3. TBV endorses amendment 3

4. https://twitter.com/buschvalentine/status/1570854204956377091

5. “If we pass Amendment 3, we are righting most of the wrongs that should have been dealt with some time ago”, says St. Louis NAACP President.

6. This is one of those times where I really, really have been trying to make sense of these arguments but I just cannot

7. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/missouris-largest-labor-union-backs-marijuana-legalization-ballot-measure/

8. Actual language of proposed change

1. https://www.sos.mo.gov/CMSImages/Elections/Petitions/2022-059.pdf

2. Language actually PROHIBITS use of MJ as grounds for a search warrant if you hold medical or caregiver card

1. Updated language that keeps courts from penalizing a parent in a custody case simply for MJ use

2. Most of the complaints are things that are ALREADY in place, it’s already illegal to smoke pot in public and that isn’t changing

1. And yet… take a walk in a crowded area and tell me you don’t smell it

3. MOST of the convictions for MJ in MO will be immediately

4. expunged w/o further action

Last call preview.
