Well, according to my trans friends, having a means of defending yourself if you're a potential target of violence is generally a good thing.

I think society has advanced enough where stuff like this shouldn’t be allowed anymore. There is no valid reason for someone to read a document for multiple hours, let alone 8-10
House passes elections bill and police reform measure named for George Floyd
The House approved H.R. 1, a Democratic legislative priority that's been opposed by Republicans. It also green-lighted the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

well the house at least trying to get some shit done. "amusing" note, is that the republicans voted in block against both expect one republican voted for the floyd bill by accident and demanded it be noted as such.,

One good thing about Ron Johnson is he's going to have tougher competition next year. Alex Lasry is young, rich, and part of the Milwaukee Bucks. He should be a much more energetic campaigner than what Feingold became at the end. His sports connection could help blunt some of the celebrity-worship that is so prevalent on Johnson's side of the aisle. And every time our dumb senator brings up Lasry's inheritance, it will be a reminder of how he was given his wife's daddy's company.

I mean, did anybody expect a politician from Arizona to understand optics, even if the actual reasoning is sound?

Sinema is actually way worse than Manchin. Just look at their voting records.

Just found out the other day that Sinema started out as a Green in the early '00s. But like a lot of Greens, she had her brain broken by the internet and is now inexplicably kind of a right wing weirdo.

Age limits on how old you can be to hold office, please. #AgeistKamala

I approach this the same way I approach physicians. I don't mind the 91 year old mentally competent physician in the room in an advisory capacity at my family doctor's surgical practice, but I'll be damned if he's holding the scalpel.
I don't MIND an old as dirt public servant serving, but ideally in that Ben Franklin role. "I have an idea" and not necessarily with voting power.
if she was a quarter as smart or had contributed 1/10th what Ben Franklin did I'd even be fine with it. She's neither. Almost no one is.
I'm more than willing to admit I am ageist. Against both the old AND the young. I'm never comfortable when I see a teenager behind the wheel of a car or when it's someone who needs a cane and 20 minutes to sit down.

I feel like 85 is a reasonable age of mandatory retirement. No one older than my grandmother should be holding public office.

Maine's own Jared Golden is only Democrat to vote against the stimulus bill. 2nd district is a solidly red district but yeesh. At least, it's nice to know someone will be there to take Joe Manchin's place when he's gone. Retch.

Joe Manchin’s voted costed my household nearly two and a half grand. I’m more upset with that than I am when he personally took my job away in 2005.

Betty White wouldn't have Jello Biafra running against her just to call her out on public airwaves for profiting off of the double homicide of two beloved political icons

Thank You, Fuck You, Bye!
"YOU VOTED AGAINST IT" has been trending on Twitter most of the day because Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi helped write an amendment to help restaurants get funding to the bill, VOTED NO, then went on Twitter patting himself on the back for adding said amendment.

WSJ News Exclusive | Amazon Won’t Sell Books Framing LGBTQ+ Identities as Mental Illnesses
The company said it recently removed a three-year-old book about transgender issues from its platforms because it decided not to sell books that frame transgender and other sexual identities as mental illnesses.

It’s shameful that Amazon even has to defend its position to not sell discriminatory garbage to trash bag elected officials

A lot of these Republicans are trying to frame it as "I helped include this in the bill. But that doesn't mean I have to vote for everything in the bill."
Which would be fine if they didn't try to play it both ways. Can't have your cake and eat it in this digital social media age, guys.
