Ah yes, the WI state Legislature. The place where all the hopes and dreams of Wisconsinites goes to die. This will be a continuation of my previous post. Just like I mentioned in the last post, the WIGOP legislature is controlled by powerful donors and PACs. In 2011, the WI state districts maps were politically gerrymandered. Since then, the WIGOP have had complete control of the Legislature. This also, means that even if the Dems receive more votes, the GOP would still win the election. Because of this, many GOP legislators do the bare amount of work or just do nothing because they don't have any fear of losing their seat. But today, I will be discussing why the WIGOP controlled legislature keeps blocking any form of legalization of cannabis in WI.
Lets find out why they really don't want it to be legalized. (For briefness sake, this is a shortened list of legislators that are Anti-Cannabis)
The Senate:
The WI state senate is controlled by the WIGOP. The president is Sen. Chris Kapenga and Majority Leader is Sen. Devin LeMahieu. Both of whom are extremely against legalization of any type. Here is what Sen. Kapenga said back in February:"The legalization of recreational marijuana is not in the best interest of Wisconsinites. There are serious health issues that need to be understood,". As for Sen. LeMahieu, he said this in April: "We don’t have support from the caucus. That’s pretty clear, that we don’t have 17 votes in the caucus for medicinal purposes or recreational purposes (to) legalize it,".
Sen. LeMahieu Donors:
- Sargento Inc (Manufacturing)
- Larry's Distributing (Booze supplier)
- Eli Lilly and Company (Big Pharma)
- Capitol-Husting Wholesale Liquor (Booze supplier)
- SSM Health Dean Medical Group (Medical)
- Belmark Inc (Packaging)
- Kay Distributing (Booze Supplier)
Sen. Duey Stroebel Donors:
- Sargento Inc (Manufacturing)
- Hastings Air Energy (Manufacturer)
- Sobek's Resort (Entertainment)
- Brachman LLC (Recently Dissolved)
- Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (Lobbyist)
- Rebecca PAC (GOP Lobbyist)
Sen. Alberta Darling Donors:
- Charles E Kubly Foundation (non-profit)
- Tamara
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

It was about a weak back.
