  "It remains bizarre to me that all these members of Congress today don’t seem to recognize that the ruling in ACLU v. Reno existed" Mike, most of them have no idea what the Constitution says.

  Call me crazy, many have, but why in the fuck do they still employ someone who is so untrustworthy they are kept out of court where they most likely would lie under oath? I can see him having a case if it was retribution for something, but this mfer lies. He has no problem violating the rights of others with his lies, but its such an affront to him... Humans, how the fsck are you still alive?

  When all you have is an overly broad law, everyone looks like a criminal if they don't immediately jump when you tell them to.

  As soon as the members put their real time data on a website that anyone can access, they should shut the fsck up. Oh they don't want to? Do they have something to hide? Why for the sake of the children won't they allow constituents know where they are having dinner with special interest lobbyists??

  Performative bullshit to give them yet another thing to hand-wring & fret about that it isn't doing enough so they can add more things so they are doing something... but not actually funding the thing.

  Pity I am much to mature to point out why the GQP wants children to carry babies to term is they need more inbred voters.

  This is the problem with hiding what each persons job is, there was no one to update McAfee and no one knew.

  Gee, if fentanyl is such a problem why is it they allow different areas to make possession of test kits a felony? I mean they don't want to look weak on drugs, but with all of these corpses piling up perhaps we should ask the question of why they refuse to take any action to abate the deaths? Is big cartel paying them as much as the NRA does to ignore all of the dead bodies in schools? Kids have always gotten drugs, pity none of these politicians haven't been a child since the last ice age and able to remember when they did it? They are always looking for the biggest splash in the media, without any concern if it does what it should. All of the screaming about teen vaping, all of the hearings and other stupid shit... A simple bill stating products containing nicotine should be regulated like cigarettes, meaning checking IDs and restricting sales to over 21. But they never managed to do that one simple trick. Fruit flavors, targeting kids, blah blah blah... A penalty and fine if you sell it to a teen is a fast way to kill kids getting them from stores, which will never be 100% but would have done more than they managed to do. Letting kids have easy access to fentanyl test strips isn't encouraging them to do drugs, its accepting kids will experiment & you want them to live. Imagine some kids get their pills, test them & see a strong result of fentanyl. They don't want to die & would know they didn't get what they thought they were getting. (Of course at the same time we need to undo all of the OMG A SINGLE ATOM OF FENTANYL CAN KILL EVERYONE ON THE PLANET... TWICE bullshit reporting). We can report all of the secret codes, kids will make more. If they get hassled, they'll find another platform & another system to deal drugs. Billions have been spent to stop pot and cocaine coming into the country... any of the addicts having a problem getting their fix? Tripling down on shit that doesn't work is the 'Merican way... how about we demand simple fixes that will save lives instead of convoluted stupidity?? fentanyl test strips - a cheap and easy way to try to save lives... its not that fucking complicated.

  Well maybe in 6 months when they release a patch to get the game closer to what it should have been at launch.

  As someone who has a wandering IP address, what is my recourse if these dumbass state laws screw with my decisions to view or not view porn?

• On the post: GAO Would Like The FCC To Explain Why It Still Maintains A Pathetic, Dated Definition Of ‘Broadband’

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 03 May, 2023 @ 06:31am

  Why? Because their actual bosses like it as low as possible so they can get more federal cash handouts to make things better, but things never get better.

  Because these are the same idiots who claim that porn is what is destroying society so we must outlaw it.

  Hey journalists.... Perhaps its time to see what skeletons are in the judge's closet. To screw up this big means he's lost his damn mind and is unfit for the bench or hes on the take and unfit for the bench. Either way, put his feet to the fire before he issues more restraining orders to make himself immune to reporters asking uncomfortable questions.

  Crazy idea... How about fining parents who allow their kids to view porn online? Why is this a non-starter? Everyone in Utah is being punished because parents refuse to parent. If they managed to elect a bunch of vegetarians they can ban steak? Your kids, your problem. Maybe spend less time trying to blame porn for everything bad and maybe run off the bigamists & church leaders who are fscking kids. Pretty sure that is doing more harm to kids than seeing a tit on the internet.

  Somewhere in a board room there is a group of old men screaming about how could this happen and why did no one warn them this could happen.

  ProTip: Dear future wanna be fascist leader of the world, if you are going to do something that looks a lot like you violated the rights we allegedly still have, perhaps writing in your book 'Yep I did this to use the power of the state to crush their dissent' is not something you can pretend doesn't matter until AFTER you have won control of the nation & destroyed the rights for everyone but your anointed few. You know for being Christian Nationalist Fascists they really really seem to have lost the thread of what they claim Christianity is all about.

  Oh noes... we no longer have "scientific" evidence to support our stereotypes & give us a reason to treat people as less than human!
