Protect the children????

Whoops....it is the right that wants to diminish child labor laws,

... and we make bad remarks about children working in China's factories.

Well if a kid can work in a restaurant that serves Beer, they can buss tables, and take half full glasses of beer back to the kitchen to either throw it out or dump it down their gullet. Then I don't get why they can't bring a tray of beer mixed in the tray of Cokes for the kiddos.

Who hasn't asked their kid to bring them another beer, at one time or another?

Either prohibit kids from working in an establishment that sells alcohol or let them serve it as well. Their exposure to alcohol goes beyond bringing it to the table. They can just as easily sneak behind the bar and stick their mouths under the Yuengling Tap and give it a ten second go.

You seriously are comparing 14-year-olds who are working under the limits of child labor laws as equal to full-time child labor in China, just because a bar wants to add the ability to serve beer to the job description?

Generally, if a Black, gay man gets killed in a hate crime, it would be 24/7 coverage in multiple media channels.

Unless the perpetrator is in another protected class...like being Muslim. Then no reporting at all.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Trump appeared in court yesterday after Special Council Jack Smith charged him with the high crime of questioning his election results while not being a Democrat.

"The sacred words penned in our Constitution, which I have so much reverence for, make it clear that only Democrats are allowed to question election results," said Smith to reporters. "Trump brazenly questioned an election even though his name isn't Hillary and he didn't even have a fake Russian dossier to prove his case. This is a dark and dangerous day for our democracy. Hehe, alliteration."

"We must be clear: no one who is a Republican is above the law."

The former President has also been charged with 5 other counts, including:

Removing a USB drive without ejecting it first
Going to McDonald's and getting a cup for water but filling it with Sprite
Wearing a National Park Junior Ranger badge without finishing the activity booklet
Pressing the 'credit' button on a card reader even though he was using a debit card
Clicking the box saying he had read the Terms Of Service when he really just scrolled through it
High treason against the media
At publishing time, Trump had pleaded "not guilty" on all charges on the grounds that he is actually a Democrat.

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said Friday the prosecution of former President Donald Trump “looks like banana republic land” following a NYT report that claimed President Joe Biden pressed for Trump’s indictment.

Alan said: “President Biden urged his attorney general to indict the man who he knew was going to be the leading opponent if against him.

“That begins to look like banana republic land. That’s what happens when people in power are afraid of the democratic process.

“What they do is they seek the indictment and prosecution of the people who are running against them.

Just think, that kid could be a future PM of Canada.

I should be glad that Roseanne left the democratic plantation, but then I feel a little conflicted. She voted and advocated for this shit, and now that it's here, she doesn't like it?

It sounds like the 60's stereotype of middle class women. "Put the couch there. No, that's terrible - move it over there. Oh, wait, that's even worse - put it over there. OK, why don't you put it back where it originally was."

Look, you'd have considered me "on the left" in 1995 and really my position hasn't changed. I don't CARE about gay marriage, I don't care if two men or women are having sex, I don't think school prayer should be in public schools, I don't think creationism should be taught in public schools, I didn't think Operation Desert Storm was justified, I didn't care that Bill Clinton got a blowjob although Lewinsky was a bit young for him, but legal.

I haven't changed a bit. I don't think elementary school teachers should be talking about sex AT ALL in school, much less pushing tranny and gay bullshit. I don't think the last 7 wars we've had in the last 2 decades were justifiable. I think Ukraine is bound to lose the war, and the best thing to do is negotiate a settlement, the longer we prevent that, the more people die.

I haven't changed, the PARTY has. Nothing the democrats claimed they cared about, 25 years ago, do they care about.

Roe versus Wade has been over-turned, and and look, nobody cares. I don't think Rosanne Barr has changed much, IF at all.

I used to think, very stupidly I admit, that the Democrats were "anti-war" - they aren't. They're completely unprincipled scum. Both parties are. They always play dumb. I'll never forget when George W. Bush said something along the lines of "A Neocon? What's that? I have never heard of it". I remember when the word "Neocon" was called a conspiracy theory. They run the democratic party now, Bill Kristol is a democrat now!! Seriously:

When Roseanne was a democrat in the 90s, at least some of democrats were still talking about factory closures, small farms getting wiped out, etc. and it was the Republicans who were all "Trade Deficits are good! I have a trade deficit with my dentist all the time, I give him money for tooth filings but I haven't sold him any propane from my propane and propane accessories store, it doesn't matter! Wanting to make things inside the US is kind of like North Korean Autarky! Besides, we're going to keep all the high tech jobs and only export the low value added stuff like making socks and plastic hangers!"

So the problem of disinformation is also a problem of democracy itself—specifically, that there’s too much of it. To save liberal democracy, the experts prescribed two critical steps: America must become less free and less democratic. This necessary evolution will mean shutting out the voices of certain rabble-rousers in the online crowd who have forfeited the privilege of speaking freely. It will require following the wisdom of disinformation experts and outgrowing our parochial attachment to the Bill of Rights. This view may be jarring to people who are still attached to the American heritage of liberty and self-government, but it has become the official policy of the country’s ruling party and much of the American intelligentsia.
