Bill Clinton once said, "Republicans fall in line. Democrats want to fall in love."Sadly, Democrats are much less herd-minded in some ways and are much morep rone to fighting in divided order than Republicans. Trump (or deSantis) will get all votes from everything to the right of center. The "moderates" won't vote for X, the "progressives" aren't enthusiastic about Y, the liberals aren't in favor of Z, etc etc. It's not hard to see how this sort of thing can very much affect elections, when Stein, Nader, et al have shown that they do.
Well now, let's not be hasty. It's undocumented immigrants, so colored folks, does that even count? Really?Hyundai plant in Alabama using child labor, kids as young as 12.
Exclusive: Hyundai subsidiary has used child labor at Alabama factory
A subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co has used child labor at a plant that supplies parts for the Korean carmaker's assembly line in nearby Montgomery, Alabama, according to area police, the family of three underage workers, and eight former and current employees of the factory.www.reuters.com
You forgot the "taking jobs from God-fearing hard working 'Merricans!"Well now, let's not be hasty. It's undocumented immigrants, so colored folks, does that even count? Really?
We all know these girls probably looked 18. Besides, if you're old enough to carry a baby, you're obviously old enough to hold a job.
Why, back in my day, we were happy to get out of school and be able to go to work and contribute! Youth these days just don't want to work anymore!
Am I doing this right?
I’m not a big fan of MTG’s policy proposals in general, and this is no exception.We all have our differences of opinions about guns and what needs to be done about them.
But I don't think anybody here, least of all myself, would have ever seriously advocated universal open carry for minors as a solution to school shootings.
That would be diarrhea-brainedly stupid and grounds for being committed to an institution.
BUT HERE'S MTG
I can't decide if such diarrhea-brained people believe that America is still the old west and doesn't want or expect it to get better or actively wants to return to that era (cue responses about racist agendas). I suspect that they haven't even thought it through that hard and are jut saying whatever thought pops into their heads to justify MOAR GUNS PLZ.We all have our differences of opinions about guns and what needs to be done about them.

Not even the cowboyest of old west cowboys would ever utter "Jest send all'th youngin's ta school with guns've their own! YEEE HAW"I can't decide if such diarrhea-brained people believe that America is still the old west and doesn't want or expect it to get better or actively wants to return to that era (cue responses about racist agendas).

The O.K. Corral shoot-out comes to mind. The Earps where trying to take away the Cowboy's guns, as per the local ordinance.Come to think of it, Old West towns banned open-carry of weapons as soon as the populace advanced enough. They were actually eager to develop to the point where they didn't need to carry in town.
Couldn’t hurt. Unless the children start shooting at people.We all have our differences of opinions about guns and what needs to be done about them.

no. Not on his phone.And apparently they found child porn on his phone?
Child porn found in documents Alex Jones sent to lawyers of Sandy Hook families, court filing says
Jones denies any knowledge of the images, and Infowars describes the emails as a "malware attack attempting to embed" child porn on their servers.www.nbcnews.com
Ahh, thank you! I see, on the servers. Thank you for pointing it out!no. Not on his phone.
The CP story is three years old.
So they're allowed to shoot helicopter parents, moms who disown their gay children, and dads who hit their kids? They can use force to make a bully stop harassing other students? Oh, no, not *that* kind of protection. Right.Today I am on site at a rural elementary school to tune and commission a new sound system for the gym.
Thought I should show you guys the sign they have out front.

There's a Chinese phrase, 後宮三千佳麗, which literally means "three thousand beautiful women in the harem". It describes how a Chinese emperor (allegedly Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty) had three thousand women available to him in his harem, though strictly speaking it only says that there are three thousand beautiful women in there, it doesn't say how many of them are concubines or consorts, and how many of them are just servant girls or other staff. There are also alleged records of even larger harems, such as up to five or six thousand women, or even more. For example, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was rumored to have a harem that numbered in the tens of thousands. These figures are likely exaggerations though, since there's no real evidence any emperor really had a harem anywhere close to this size. The likely largest historically confirmed harem, for example, belonged to Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, who had 55 recorded wives and consorts, though it's rumored he may have had up to 200 in total due to many of them being "off the books". There's a theory that the stories of emperors having thousands of consorts were made up later on to portray certain unpopular emperors as engaging in excess debauchery.No exaggerating, 17.5 wives/month would be 8400 wives
(and on a slightly serious note, it's a very modern fantasy, only starting somewhere in the 19th century, that a king or potentate with a large harem would service all of his wives and concubines. Most were there for other reasons, some outlined in the picture above. "Congrats, your brother died, here are his five wives to add to your own" luckily doesn't mean you have to enjoy bedding all your SILs. On a slightly less serious note, of course, you know that because you were there at the time )
Hey, the one about the rapist is totally wrong... it's the rapist that's forced to marry her, because she's now spoiled goods, and no one else ever will.Let's assault the sanctity of marriage by accurately quoting from the bible:
It's a little under 3 months 'till election, so....A little over 3 months.The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 passed in the Senate today.
So, how long until the Supreme Court rules it unconstitutional and nullifies every part of the bill related to the environment?
I can excuse transphobia but I draw the line at cruelty to animals."I'd rather kill this cat than let the transgender person who was fostering it adopt it."
