Instead of what? A full diaper, ketchup, and 18 cans of Diet Coke?

So, just like any other day of the year in LA.

I guess the reporter knows from experience what weed smells like. So there is some good news.

That could be any city or town

Weed is legal in FREE Canada & very smart people love the F word. Use it often. Heard Trump uses it alllot.

It's legal in CA and WA too (I think OR as well, but am not certain).

It is!😎✌️

Yup! And Arizona! Thank goodness… 😅

Absolutely true! Swearing can a sign of intelligence, creativity, loyalty & trustworthiness. And I’m so happy I’m from Washington where the weed is legal too! 😄

That same scenario is at my house every night! I don’t see their point.

CNN is fluffing Trump as hard as they can

Middle America clutches their pearls at the rioting...🙄/s

That's who this media coverage is for

lol @cnn.com are you complete idiots? @oliverdarcy.bsky.social @jaketapper.bsky.social

Oh no, graffiti that says F Trump? Just nuke the place.

There’s never a set of pearls around when you need to clutch them.

It’s legal

Pot is LEGAL in CA so NBD! It’s a Blue State so “F Trump” is the general consensus in the State which like every State has taggers! CNN has proven over and over again to be an unreliable source and pro Trump! 🤷‍♀️

They prefer more bougie drugs at CNN

Sounds like a party and not a riot requiring the illegal government overreach. Really hate that corporate media continues to keep this abhorrent administration alive for their dwindling and useless ratings.

welcome to LA, dude. 🙄

Wow! Graffiti and pot. Oh my

Just ANOTHER network bending the knee to kiss the Great Orange Ass.

ABC, CBS, CNN. Who is next?

MSNBC. Probably will get merged with whatever company emerges from the WBD split.

It’s the only news cable I’m able to get and I normally don’t watch tv news but had to see this latest. I heard CNN was trumps but they were coming down hard on him this weekend. I haven’t seen anyone in favor of Trump “yet.” I can’t get MSNBC my old favorite. Cost a fortune

NOW you know you're in LA. That's the smell of freedom!

Same smell as my son’s apartment in north LA county but they probably smell it in the city.

😆

Oh no! Not college dorm vibes!

That’s funny I experienced both those things too on my way home from work in nyc…

I live in Missouri and it smells like weed. And meth. And alcohol. And occasionally roadkill.

Reminder: no cable channel is legally considered news. Watch broadcast networks, peeps ;)

🇺🇸USA🇺🇸USA🇺🇸USA

Describing my living room as a crime

🤣

Weed is legal in California

'faggot trump' is kinda harsh but ill allow it. i bet a gay person wrote it

california is weed smoking gay liberals or something im not american AOC2028 or tim balz

educational content:

But the fuck Trump graffiti and the smell of weed in the air could be LA on any normal day

It is. I can only get CNN since I only have apps now and I normally never watch TV news but my son lives in LA county. I’ve watched it all weekend and they were coming down against Trump, so were their guest. Maybe that will change but so far it’s nothing like Fox but nothing like the Ted Turner CNN

Sounds like every Tuesday afternoon in Seattle

Absolutely

And Olympia

same in toronto tbh

👌

Can confirm

Also a 3pm in DC

Or everyday in the PNW

Truth

And Portland

Or in a lot of places.

I was gonna say, "duh." We roll similar in Oregon.

Sounds like a fun party

Oh my goodness!!!!!

Bahahaha.. yeah, gettin agitated because you're killing their fuckin high.

Tear gas. Not weed. Gummies? Vaping?

None of that part sounds bad to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fuck CNN. Damn they want a civil war. They are part of the fascists.

totally agree!

So, DOGE is there, isn't It?

Oh no, not the smell of weed in the air. Calling in the cavalry. 😂

Does the media actually want Fascism for themselves and their families? To be ruled by a Felon Rapist Dictator who’s stripping away their freedom, taking away their rights? Do they not live in the same society? Is it ok to let ppl go without health insurance and force them to go bankrupt? STUPID.

Fuck CNN.

God damnit, CNN. Now everyone is gonna want to move here!!

L.A. and I have some stuff in common I guess

Sounds cool af, tbh

The F word? Weed? Oh dear. Susan Collins doesn't know what to do with all her concern.

🤣😂🤣

ICE ETHNIC CLEANSING IS UNLAWFUL & VILE. GESTAPO ABDUCTION & DETENTION are ILLEGAL REGARDLESS if done at trump's behest. CALL IT WHAT IT IS E_T_H_N_I_C CLEANSING from maniacal trump, a failed megalomanic. IT IS trump's AUTOCRACY and the END of DEMOCRACY, IF we ALLOW IT and are SILENT!!!

oh heavens not the marihuana

but no one using american flags to hit cops with? ok then.

First of all, weed is legal there. Second of all, FUCK TRUMP!

What is it with CNN and weed? Don lemon would say the same shit when he was a correspondent.

yeah, crazy isn't it? free speech and cannabis are both legal in California! 🤯

😉

didnt one of their reporters get cuffed and detained just yesterday? The hell.

You write "F Trump" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?"

The weed is in the air here too, you asshole, because it's legal. FUCK MSM

Oh my the smell of weed in the air in California where weed has been legal for (chks notes) 29 yrs, oh the humanity.

First take was from Jake Tapper that said there was some graffiti stating 'F Trump' on Tes-Slur and there was a smell of cocaine in the air...

MAGA TAPPER 🧵thread bsky.app/profile/edhi...

oh no, weed?

Weed?, @cnn.com oh no not weed!

Love how cool they make LA sound.

FUK’A curfew!!! Them evil ass republicans don’t got no curfew! They’re literally in the senate & house actively trying to get #47’s big ugly bill passed while your sleeping & they think we’re not listening & watching & paying attention!!! live.house.gov www.senate.gov/legislative/...

"and you're not going to believe this back at the studio, but the women are wearing *pants*, in broad daylight! The indignity! Ankles on full display and none of them care, it's pandemonium here!"

@cnn.com is just garbage

Trump should be over the moon because it's the only 'F' he has had since his encounter with Stormy Daniels back in 2006.

I only smell the smell of fascism right now, nothing else should be of concern, people.

Such an unruly mob—not

Omg, weed! Grow up. Focusing on graffiti & weed while normal people have their rights trampled isn’t the winning message they think it is.

why do we need this overcaffeinated dingshit doing play-by-play of nothing

Better call in the Marines!

Oh no!

1970s revival..... 😂

Sounds like fun and real patriots. #FTrump

Sign me up for this party

In Australia, we have a legalise cannabis party and you get to vote for them and election and that’s their name. I’m like yes please even if it’s not for me, it’s good for society.

We have that party in the USA, too.

Mexican Americans like smoking weed and painting walls saying fuck trump.

HOW DOES HE KNOW WHAT WEED SMELLS LIKE? IS HE A CRIMINAL

Weed? In...in LA?!?! HOLY SHIT STOP THA PRESSES!!1!

🤣

Reached for comment, the vicar's monocle popped clean off his head

my word!

OT but all the networks have seemingly decided to deploy their hottest reporters to this story.

Please protest peacefully 🙏

Gettin baked and having more to say is an LA tradition. F Trump makes complete sense to me. Nobody needed to get high to solve the riddle of who’s behind the chaos.

Nick Watt: if you don’t have anything to say that’s notable you could just do that. This is right up there with “the sun rose today”. GTFO with this downtown Topeka bullshit.

1 sq mile. lol. Weed and graffiti. Call in the marines!

So it’s LA. Great reporting.

> The smell of weed is in the air. Comedy gold.

Are they trying to get the mid westerners to come to to L. A. for L. A. Woodstock (2025)? 🤣

That’s a racist dog whistle.

Well, he is a Scot married to a South African, living in the United States.

Maybe his wife knows Elon, or perhaps some of the recent South African 'immigrants.'

Probably. smdh

Graffiti and weed? Better get the Marines out to get that under control. 🙄

OMG Graffiti and Weed in LA? what will we ever do?? GTFO

How will we ever recover

I know, right??🙄

It’s legal. My sons apartment reeks and that’s his business but he insist on keeping it closed up so neighbors won’t smell but if they don’t smell it even with windows closed they don’t have noses.

They'll probably join in.

Right? He made sure to say the crowd is getting “agitated”. What?! The crowd looks totally peaceful and chill. Such a liar!

The only way you could agitate this weed-toking crowd is to taunt them with snacks. The reporter is the agitated one there. Perhaps he needs to join them to calm down.

😂😂😂

They're smoking weed. That's the opposite of "agitated".

😂😂😂 Correct!

By God, that is insurrection far more than J6. /sarcasm off. CNN go stuff yourself. What an absolutely shit piece of reporting.

Not in LA… 🙃

They'll be singing saucy songs next.

🤣🤣🤣

Every skate park in America

Honestly, cnn are stupid, malicious, unwashed sphincters. I mean, which is it? Are these aggressive rioters or are they chilled out potheads? When you're a giant filthy liar, your story needs to change all the bloody time. Me rn:

We better give our nation over to a dictator.

ask white suburbia and they will unironically agree with this statement

CNN: Crap Not News

This CNN reporter is pushing his opinion and not reporting the news

Opinions are no longer allowed.

Aaaaand????🤷🏽‍♀️🙄 Who is that idiot? So what, YES FVCK T*UMP✊🏽 and some puff puff pass, sounds wonderful...like my kind of party!!😜

Curfew is a prime control measure under martial law. Who can establish a curfew and how is it done if martial law has not been declared?

> The smell of colitas > is in the air.

@cnn.com is no better than The National Enquirer at this point. Trash, not credible, part of the problem

Haha have they ever visited a West Coast city before?

Oh hey look everyone! Here's ANOTHER Don Lemon wannabe!

Did the same reporter ever report in Elon’s Ketamine problem?

Does this reporter not get out much?

Mommy doesn’t let him out of the basement often.

Anyway.

Oh No!!! Reefer Madness is assaulting our delicate sensibilities!!😳😵‍💫🤡😵‍💫 We're all doomed!! Run, it's highly contagious!!

I love LA.

And the stench of authoritarian rule by Trump/GOP is all around.

The rubes are going to be clutching their pearls over this!

CNN is for sale… literally. Haven’t watched since January. I hope Anderson and KC head to MSNBC.

Oh love this!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That freak looks like an evangelical insurance salesman who just took a gummy.

Anyone need any further proof CNN is lame AF?

Dude, that's just Tuesday

So my house every FUCKING DAY🤬🖕🤬🖕 since 2015. #FuckCNN #Resist

Also CNN reporter in LA...but yeah, let's focus on graffiti, CNN. 🙄 bsky.app/profile/cjwi...

"Damned Hippies!" 😂

#LA💙 #ICEProtests yeah we’ll be alright we’ll get by headin west keeping these dreams alive like 2 American hippies then down to the California coast you always wanna be where the mountains meet the sea www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rZV...

Born in California. No other place I want to be. 🤩

It also smells like journalistic failure.

No one gives a fuck about graffiti! Or weed!

True!

Um, yea…

Sounds good to me

don't threaten me with a good time

Those cops do not want to be there

I guarantee you, both of those things were there months ago, I love LA 🙂‍↔️✊🏽

Peaceful

There's the smell of weed in the air? Should we call in more marines? Should we call the CIA? the UN? The Hague? My God, weed! Truly anarchy and chaos reigns.

Ah. Wednesday in a city then. Thank you CNN

My kinda party, Trump hate and grass

Oh noes! 😱🙄

What sort of jackboot media is this, focusing on stupid shit rather than our fascist state? Is this guy from South Africa?

CNN is rotten to the core

CNN = Christian Nationalist News

For the first time since the legalization of marijuana in California, the smell of weed defiles the LA night.

🤣

You’d think this is parody 🤦‍♀️ f Trump graffiti in the least shocking thing ive heard of

Your point being?

Sounds like a good time

Weed? Shocking.

Because of these hippies, the United States risks losing the Vietnam War !! 😛

Wooo-hoo!! Let’s go!

Herb. 👎🏾👎🏾

So what? They have graffiti and weed at Mar-a-Lago too

On the 14th I'm gonna need a lot of weed!!

That's a report??? Fx him!

Can he confirm or deny the weed is any good? Asking for friends.

Soooo....like any other day in L.A.?

Um...new to this?

First time here?

Weed is not the problem. Its the terrorizing of families, kids, people who are just trying to live. Trump sent his LICE to attack us simply cause we are brown. Thus the reason he labels us criminals. Ethnic cleansing is the problem, not the weed.

Trump and Kushner threw out their only plan for masks upon learning mostly Blacks and Browns were dying from Covid in Blue states thinking blaming Governors would clench his re-election! Two birds one stone! Kill minorities and Democrats all in one swipe! It is ethnic cleansing! A million died!

Trump creates unrest! Screaming Antifa was always a plot to make dissent illegal! There is always a plot-planned chaos! He'd delight in our extrajudicial killings for exercising our 1st amendment right! He is Illegitimate per the Constitution! SCOTUS did not address insurrection!

There are questionable immigrants in the office and there are drugs being used….

That's like 90% of smart America, CNN doosh. We all want that orange turd to go F himself and people smoke to cope with the insanity he causes every fucking day.

The 1970s called. They want their fear mongering back.

People are mad. Some people smoke weed. Some people are mad and smoke weed. There. Did I qualify for a job with CNN?

I don't see any bootlicking for cops in there, you can only get an intern position.

Shouldn’t @jaketapper.bsky.social get on this right away he excels at this sort of logic drag out the reefer madness

1.Let's find out @cnn.com does my man here qualify for a job? Because from what I see his post is more factual, engaging and to the point than anything your knee bending ring kissing reporters ever come out with.

2. Do better @cnn.com because there's a time in the not too distant future where you'll be held accountable for reporting.

Sorry we don't tell the truth anymore, we sensationalize, misdirect, and protect the fascists.

The corporate media mantra.

Overqualified

👍🤣

Tapper's spot might be vacant soon.

It's L.A.!!! It ALWAYS smells like weed!!!

damn they really reachin now. next they'll break out that racist-ass jungle fever shit

F* tRump graffiti and the smell of weed in the air. 🙄

Just like my house! 🤭

Awesome 😎👏👏👏

that sounds like a chill mellow kind of west coast party

Based

NOT THE SMELL OF WEED

Hahaha

Smoking weed and rioting not happening

...the warm smell of colitis rising up through the air....Hotel California 1977 It has been ever thus. CNN is useless.

Literally every major city right now could fit this description

The smell of weed is in the air? My dude, that is literally anywhere now. Jesus . The media is part of the problem.

That sounds like my kind of people!

As if they’ve never been to LA on a day before ever - even in the 80s.

How about the 70s? 😉

DT wasn’t much of a presence

Is Don Junior smoking a blunt again?

Oh,no. The poor reporter is getting high school flashbacks. Someone pet them and assure them no reporters will be stuffed into lockers.

In DC that's a normal day, and nothing gets disrupted.

they are doing drugs and swears. crush them.

😂

Before or after I clutch my pearls?

That guy’s over there clutching his pearls. Get him.

Oh noesies!! 😱

Everywhere in California smells like weed. Hell, I pull into a grocery store parking lot and smell it. But, yeah, whatever.

Sounds like Paradise. P.S: Fuck Trump!

wtf dude - fascists are firing on civilians and you’re talking about fu*king graffiti?

And……..???

Exactly what I said....what an idiot.🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

That's all...nothing else left to report There is no violence, no 'mobs' (though there is singing and dancing)

And good herb.

When I first saw the comment by the CNN reporter above, wondered if he wasn't used to it (which may be the case) Weird for me, I seem to smell weed not-infrequently...I guess that's life in the big city? 🤷‍♀️

Oh my god, not the Devil’s Lettuce. Anybody sipping on Gin and Juice?

lol Ooooooooooooooo

Weed is legal. F Trump is legal It’s not vandalism it’s LA art

Ok, and?

Oh yeah and Musk has a great Ketamine connection, likes mushrooms too. Maybe RFK can hook him up with a heroin supply.

Ha ha ha. They all got the MAGA hookup. Bunch of hypocrites.

Weed>Greed

How does the reporter know what weed smells like ? 🤔

Smells like weed on my back deck as I read this. Zero fucking Marines on my back deck.

Zero fucking Marines on your back deck, so far.

While there is a Navy presence on the base I live close to, I am more concerned about a SeeBee asking for a hit.

Maybe the cops can chill out

He’s there to sensationalize the situation. Of course he smells weed, it’s legal in California. And it doesn’t escalate violence. Obviously he has never smoked it.

Right? Thank Zeus it was weed and not booze ! Booze would unleash some ultra violence 🤣

Yeah, dude, that's what a city is!

They report directly to oligarch owner John Malone's POV now. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

that graffiti has probably been there for twenty years

The weed smell even longer.

Good. The cops & ICE need to mellow out.

That’s a strategy right there.

And so.

The cops are smoking up.

Cannabis. It's cannabis.

And how would you know what the weed smells like, huh, Nick?

Who is this goober that’s so terrified of the weed? If everyone would indulge, the world would be a much more peaceful place 😌

How does he know the smell of weed? Surprised he didn't say he smelled canabis Marijuana You gonna pass that bro? 💨🌬

Good heavens!

Well, that’s all you need to know that things are pretty mellow in LA. They should blow the smoke toward the troops.

Smell of… weed???

🤣

Sounds like good times from that blurb

Reefer Madness strikes again. The crowd is high and agitated 🙄

CNN is a joke. They can GTFOH with their nonsense. Run the Jewels were right about what they had to said about Don Lemon and CNN.

Oh my god. Oh my god. I am literally hyperventilating. I'm having a panic attack. Oh my god.
