Bill Maher: 'Jeb not only a heavy user of marijuana-on at least 1 occasion he was a dealer as well'

“The first time I really got stoned was in Jeb’s room,” Tibbetts said. “He had a portable stereo with removable speakers. He put on Steppenwolf for me.” As the rock group’s signature song, “Magic Carpet Ride,’’ blared from the speakers, Tibbetts said he smoked hash with Bush.

He said he once bought hashish from Bush but stressed, in a follow-up e-mail, “Please bear in mind that I was seeking the hash. It wasn’t as if he was a dealer, though he did suggest I take up cigarettes so that I could hold my hits better, after that first joint.”

This is why, IMO, it is foolish to excoriate members of DU for not focusing on GOP issues like this. djean111 Feb 2015 #8

won't go for it, probably. Those of us who don't care won't vote for him anyway.

Cannabis users HATE hypocrites who use or used with complete impunity, but who want others to have their lives destroyed by the justice system.

NOT cool at all - Jeb Bush is just another sociopathic narcissist who thinks he's above the law he wants everyone else to obey.

In addition, all a Bush needs to say is so what? That's the past, and everyone STFU, and everyone will fall in line.
This sort of thing was not a problem for Georgie, it won't be a problem for Jeb.
Just looking back at what has happened. FFS, there are books about the BFEE. Nothing happens.

The GOP voters already don't know or don't care. No one at DU was going to vote GOP anyway.
Maybe if we worked towards giving Dem voters something better than lesser evil!!!!!!, we would get to a better place.
