    Well it is the upper end of the statutory max of 20 years.  So, in that context, it's not light.

    That the max is 20 years is somewhat suspect.

    On the other hand, I think 20 years should be the maximum sentence for all but the most heinous of crimes.

    I think sedition qualifies as one of the most heinous crimes.

    “At a Hernando County School Board meeting Tuesday, fifth-grade teacher Jenna Barbee alleges school board member Shannon Rodriguez reported her to DOE for showing her students Disney's 2022 movie ‘Strange World.’ It's the first Disney movie with an out, gay character.”

    The next step will be to ban all the out, gay teachers.

    They've already banned the out gay teachers.  They aren't allowed to have pictures of their S/O's on their desk or mention in any way that they are on the rainbow spectrum.  You can be a gay teacher in Florida, but you must stay in the closet to do so.

    Minors can have mastectomies for non-gender-related reasons too. Should we ban those?

    When people talk about gender surgery on minors, they are referring to vaginoplasties. Ask any MAGA piece of shit what they're talking about with gender surgery and they'll mention chopping dicks off (not what happens). That is what I was referring to, again, for the reason that mastectomies happen for many reasons.

    Your faux concern about besides-the-point semantic accuracy is noted, though.

    Meanwhile, Texas is in the bottom 10 of the country in the number of babies that get circumcised.  We only cut off part of the dicks of half the male babies born here.  So to be clear we aren't against genital mutilation in Texas, or even putting knives on dicks.  It's only certain types of genital surgeries that are supposed to be off limits. So even the MAGA way of describing it doesn't get to the heart of why they are against it, because I bet 90% of their male children were circumcised when they were babies.

    Is this gonna be like one of those playoff bets where Abbott and DeSantis pledge a Texas brisket/crate of Florida oranges for whoever gets the most mass shootings before their term is up?

    DeSantis won't be able to pay up on that bet, because he's made sure all the fruit pickers left the state.

    it still fucking amazes me those dumb fucke went to over throw the govt and didn’t think to cover up their faces and shield their eyes 

    Why?  My experience is this group loudly proclaims they are patriotic while doing just the opposite.  Back then, the patriotic thing to do was to help protect your neighbors by wearing a face covering, so of course they weren't going to do that.  Also, back then the patriotic thing to do was to honor the results of the election, and obviously they weren't going to do that either.  These people are not patriots and they take every opportunity they can to prove it.

  6. The most shameless defense of unethical behavior I think I've ever seen:

    “Harlan Crow has long been passionate about the importance of quality education and giving back to those less fortunate, especially at-risk youth,” the statement said. “It’s disappointing that those with partisan political interests would try to turn helping at-risk youth with tuition assistance into something nefarious or political.” The statement added that Crow and his wife have “supported many young Americans” at a “variety of schools, including his alma mater.” Crow went to Randolph-Macon Academy.

    So tell me how Clarence Thomas is the legal guardian of a child (from 6 years old) who is both less fortunate and at risk.  Make that make sense to me.

    Uh, no judging...but showing up to your second date with anyone, regardless of sexual preference, in a rented U-Haul is creepy as fuck.

    "Hey, I really enjoyed our dinner and movie last week.  Perhaps you'd like to see inside of this here panel truck with a mural of Montana on the sides, (I say in a not so creepy manner)..."

    There is little value to sharing my personal views here of specific policies I don’t like from each party, because I won’t change any minds. We’ve all learned that lesson.

    I do believe one party on the whole is far more reasonable right now than the other, but no point in getting into it. The purpose of the PACs is to get people in government who are less influenced by the money donors with clear agendas, and not on any specific issue. I will/would contribute to that type of PAC. 

    I'm not giving a single dollar to someone who can't get more descript in what they stand for than "Smart people with common sense."  What would this PAC stand for explicitly?

    I would, but I'm highly skeptical whether that would work at all.  People on the right WANT to be lied to.  I don't know if bringing visibility to disinformation would make a damn bit of difference.

    Yep.  I used to be included in FWD FWD FWD chains from my mom.  When I started pointing out the inaccuracies in those FWD FWD FWD chains, she didn't change her mind, she just stopped including me in them.  This sums up my experience with trying to change the minds of 99% of the people on the right.  They don't care about truth, they care about narrative.  If you can tell a good enough story, you can be completely fact free and will be considered a truth teller.

    A minor update to this topic full of very few good ideas - some very wealthy folks are seriously considering massive PAC's to start shaping political races for candidates who aren't wack jobs from the right, or pussies from the left. In other words, helping normal people who truly want to help this country and aren't worthless.  Novel concept. 

    Is the PAC hiring security for these super smart people? Because we're seeing more and more people like you describe leave politics because they are tired of fielding the threats of violence against them and their families.

  10. I said it in the other thread, but what she's really saying is that since she was a failure as a parent, she wants the government to fix it for her, and if that means a bunch of dead kids, including hers, she's perfectly ok with that.

    And she thinks she's a failure because she has a trans kid.  She doesn't realize that the failure is her inability to accept the reality of that situation. These people's brains are broken.

    Here is another despicable human who doesn’t give a fuck. I have no words to describe the contempt I feel for this person

     

     

    But what she's actually saying is "I'd prefer a shit ton of kids kill themselves if it keeps my daughter from transitioning."  Let's be honest here.

    Coworker, not buddy... and he's a hardcore Southern Baptist so I wasn't all that surprised. But dumb af politically for sure. I remember this same dude talking about how much he loved the Palin VP choice.

    If he's a hardcore southern baptist he shouldn't be drinking at all, or standing around other people that are drinking.  Motherfucker is breaking one of the Baptist commandments.
