Sex-trafficking investigation into Republican Matt Gaetz dropped
bamnutsak replied to Scott's topic in World News
Whitewater Benghazi I'm sure Matt's young "adopted" son, Nestor, is happy his "daddy" will not be prosecuted. Gaetz was reported to have sought a pardon from Trump for these potential charges. Wingman Greenburg, and the underage (at the time Gaetz allegedly had relations with them) women, were probably not reliabe/believable witnesses, which is a must in a she said/he said scenario. Venom-ing cash to women is hardly illegal if you can't prove it was for sexual services. Matt's dodged a lot of bullets over the years. His daddy pulls a lot of strings for junior. -

Yes, this seems like what will happen. Use an app. prepay via credit card, get issued a QR code, which gets scanned by arriving Imm. officer. -
GOP targets drag shows with new bills in at least 14 states
bamnutsak replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
And yet, there they are on Youtube. For anyone to see. So what's the plan? Censorship? Guilty. I read your post as having "seen" all these drag shows in person. Maybe it was the extra detail you added. Fool me once. -

They are desperate to get this in place before the dissolution of the government ahead of elections. The collection, adminstration,a ccounting and transparent reporting, and even the use of, these funds still remains a mystery. The only known is how much will be embezzled. I'd say close to 30%, some in skim, some in kick-backs. I see they're now calling this a "landing fee" so it sounds like they plan to collect it on arrival, presumable before arriving Immigration. -

Yeah, I get that you can't attend every drag show, but can you share how many you've attended, where these were, and why you attended so many. And how mnay children were in attendance? I do respect your right to attend drag shows. -
It's strange that it took Ohio Senator JD Vance 10 days to blame the Biden administration. Or that Governor DeWine has NOT declared an state of emergency thereby availing his fellow Ohioans of Federal Disaster funds and support. My vote would be for Norfolk Southern management and their families be required to consume only water from East Palestine wells for the next 25 years.

How did this thread morph into book banning? I'm not sure the government is best suited to raising children - more so given their record overseeing Native-American orphanages, providing them with love and support, and insuring that they are happy and healthy. That's for parents, and if they need help from health professionals.

You seem to go to a lot of drag shows, with children in attendance. Where was this? If this is such a huge concern why isn't the Republican-led House of Represenatives taking this issue up, holding hearings and writing a bill? -
Mike Pence subpoenaed by special counsel overseeing Trump probes: Sources
bamnutsak replied to Scott's topic in World News
Hiding behind the Congressional speech and debate clause is the last refuge of this incompetent coward. That said, what he experienced OUTSIDE of any role he might play in Congress, during his time as Trump's Vice-President would seem outside that scope. -

I don't remember "Drag Shows" being one of the top 10 or 25 issues with voters in the 2022 mid-term elections? But if it's so important to "protect the children", and politicians feel that parents are unable to do that, then by all means spend valuable time (South Dakota has a pretty limited legislative schedule) passing these sorts of bills. I think North Dakota had considered a bill which would invoke a $1,500 fine each time someone used a pronoun which did not match the birth certificate. Obviously wouldn't pass the First Amendment test, so thankfully that did not pass. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/north-dakota-lawmakers-reject-bill-that-would-fine-people-1500-for-using-pronouns-different-from-ones-assigned-at-birth/3051023/ What's next on the legislative agenda? -
Mike Pence subpoenaed by special counsel overseeing Trump probes: Sources
bamnutsak replied to Scott's topic in World News
Pence to fight special counsel subpoena on Trump's 2020 election denial Mike Pence is preparing to resist a grand jury subpoena for testimony about former President Donald Trump’s push to overturn the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the former vice president’s thinking. Pence’s decision to challenge Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request has little to do with executive privilege, the people said. Rather, Pence is set to argue that his former role as president of the Senate — therefore a member of the legislative branch — shields him from certain Justice Department demands. Pence allies say he is covered by the constitutional provision that protects congressional officials from legal proceedings related to their work — language known as the “speech or debate” clause. The clause, Pence allies say, legally binds federal prosecutors from compelling Pence to testify about the central components of Smith’s investigation. If Pence testifies, they say, it could jeopardize the separation of powers that the Constitution seeks to safeguard. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/14/pence-subpoena-trump-election-00082637 -
The right has already lost the culture war, they just don't realize it. The attacks on the most vulnerble among us just illustrates both how desperate they are to find someone to attack, and how despicable they are. They seem to be making thier last desperate stand on the issue of equality for trans people. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Over 100 Immigration Officers to Be Charged over Illegal Visas

Most importantly, no vinyl. Just plans for an unusually large rug, and broom, to deal with this problem. -
PM Calls on Youths to Embrace Morality and Global Awareness
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"Moral Compass". Hah. Good like finding even one in Thailand. -
Awesome performance, Rihana crushed it. The game was exciting as well, down to the last few seconds in high-scoring affair. The commercials were pretty weak, IMO, of those I've seen - they aren't shown on the TrueVisions broadcast but are up on YT. Pre-game show was so-so. Enough of the freakin' robot dogs.

Interesting that so many find it acceptable for the State to tell parents how they can care for their children's well-being and health. Normally, unless fired about some culture-war fake idea, the right is very much against the State infringing on the family. Let parents and doctors determine the best options for children's healthcare. The State should not be involved.
