Al Gore Threatens Trump with the US Military
[BREITBART] Al Gore: ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ if Trump Accepts Election Loss, Military Will ‘Respond to the Command’ of Next POTUS
"Release the Chakra!"
“Pay attention to MEEEEEE!” How fortunate that he has never had any real power, and never will.

#5  Gore is a douche, but he's right. If someone (on either side -- looking at you Al) decides to ignore an election result, then the system should be sufficiently robust to handle that.

Rhetorical question.

The 20th century showed us that EVERY political movement that has as a tactic the dehumanization of other human beings already has the death camps built in its own mind.

Shock report: Margaret Good [Guess the Party!] voted against bill to outlaw child sex dolls
[FloridaPolitics] In 2019, the Florida Legislature voted unanimously to pass a bill making it illegal to sell or possess child-like sex dolls. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill shortly after it reached his desk, and it has been on the books since October.

Or at least that’s how it was reported at the time.

House vote records, however, show that Rep. Margaret Good
(D-Sarasota)
switched her vote from a yes to a no days after it cleared the Legislature. The change made Good, a Sarasota Democrat, the only lawmaker out of 160 members of the House and Senate to vote against the bill.

Vote changing isn’t rare — three members of the House who missed the roll call cast yes votes after the fact. For Good, however, it was the only instance in the 2019 Legislative Session where she switched her vote, all but guaranteeing the switch would go unnoticed."

#2  I'm not sure i disagree with Good. Plus can they stop anything like this coming in from out of state. Also bureaucrats regulating "morality" tends to have a sub-optimal history..

I'd want as much evidence and warning from a deviant as possible, to prevent them abusing.

#3  If they masturbate with dolls, or Internet, they leave real children alone - n'est-ce pas?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 08/26/2020 5:25 Comments || Top||

#4  There's also the theory the doll could be a "gateway drug" fueling desire for the real thing. I'm not a psychologist / psychiatrist, so I have no idea.

#5  Riding a bicycle is not a gateway to riding a motorcycle.
Posted by: Clem || 08/26/2020 8:41 Comments || Top||

#6  As I said, I have no idea. But I'm willing to bet the subset of people who ride motorcycles but never rode a bicycle is small.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 08/26/2020 8:53 Comments || Top||

#7  Most people ride bicycle as kids. Most people ride cars, not motorcycles, as adults.

#12  yea, just sell them but with a built in camera to monitor the subject

and pick a random Karen to do the monitoring. i'm sure they would be willing to offer their services. it's for the children after all

#14  Bob, I was thinking more along the lines of child abduction in there area that would be the first place to knock.

Racist White Guy At Mother Jones Calls Tim Scott And Herschel Walker Uncle Toms
[THEFEDERALIST]
Some white guy named Tommy Craggs who is the enterprise editor (whatever that is) at Mother Jones has a message for black conservatives like Sen. Tim Scott, former NFL great Herschel Walker, and congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik. Tommy wants them to know that they are being used by racist Republicans who are just dying to say the N-word.In a piece subtitled, "Your nightly guide to racism at the Republican National Convention," Craggs calls the black speakers at last night’s convention the GOP’s "black friends." See, Tommy knows a lot about racism, he’s probably read at least one book about it and he knows better than a black sitting US Senator from the Deep South about what it is.

What was the evidence for this charge of racism? It was Mark and Patricia McCloskey talking about defending their homes and maintaining the suburbs. For progressives like Tommy, if you oppose putting low income housing in the suburbs, you are a racist because apparently all poor people in the United States are black. And that’s it. That is literally all the alleged racism Craggs could find in the convention and on the basis of that he smeared black people as basically traitors to their race being used by evil white Republicans.

It really is shocking that in this day and age, white progressives still feel free to lecture grown black people about what their politics should be when doing so is exactly what these black people, especially Klacik are specifically saying they reject. It could not prove the point more forcefully. Here is a young black woman trying to make a difference in her community by rejecting decades of incompetent Democratic leadership in Baltimore and Craggs thinks she should shut up, stay in her place, and line up behind Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
