Because to them the only solution is the banning of guns. Any other measure is unacceptable.

Codifying a wide open border does nothing to address the problem. HTH.

Some of you act as if this is a new thing. Parental responsibility laws have been around forever: https://www.findlaw.com/family/parental-rights-and-liability/parental-liability.html Hey, if you don't want to raise a child right, don't have them. FFS.

How many coal plants are they building?

Good.

Well, you know what they say about assumptions......

How the fock did you get THIS pinned?

That's a fact! We've got a bunch of trolls around here though. They can't actually believe that.

What Republican has said they object to the bill because it would give Biden a victory? The only ones I've seen quoted object to the bill because the bill is a steaming pile of dung.

And for those who think the GOP doesn't want to do anything, here is a bill they put up that would actually help the situation: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr2/summary If libs actually wanted to help, they'd work off of that.

NOOOO. Have you heard what's in this bill? This bill won't do anything to help the situation. There is no reason to pass a bill just to say "we did something" if that bill doesn't help the situation.

Uh, small business owners have been around pretty much since this country was founded. You do realize that most big companies started out as small businesses, don't you? And as I said there are a lot of people who enjoy contract work. IOW, you're making a lot of assumptions. And I'm not sure why you're doing so when this discussion should be focused on the gig workers. Unless you've got specific stats about that particular demographic your broad generalization in trying to make some type of vague lib point is really not having it's intended impact.

Now do coal plants

First of all, being a contract worker isn't a bad thing. A good number of those work in decent paying professions so not sure why you're lumping them all in together. That's what happened in CA when AB5 passed and focked over a LOT of people who enjoyed being independent contractors, including the former mayor of SF Willie Brown. As far as gig workers go, so what? I knew a guy who enjoyed being a pizza delivery guy. The only reason he quit was he had a kid and needed health insurance for the kid. But regardless, if someone chooses that line of work that's on them; either they chose it because of it's flexibility or due to a lack of skills. The former is a personal choice and the latter is fixable if the person is so inclined. Regardless, this bill isn't helping them, is it?

Really? There was a time when the alternative was an increasing percentage of the workforce learning a marketable, decent paying skill. And low wage jobs like being a fry cook at McDonalds or being a delivery driver were considered "transitory jobs" that you took while acquiring those marketable skills.

Aw man. RIP.

The economy is doing so great that America racked up $19 billion in credit cart debt in one month: https://www.newsweek.com/us-consumer-debt-credit-card-increase-wells-fargo-report-financial-strain-1865082 WINNING!!!!!

Equal length rectangles?

Tim confirming that his opinions are formed by his overlords. I'm capable of forming my own opinions based upon my own research. But thanks for that confirmation Timmy!!!

I'd like to know what makes you, and your 20 something colleagues, think Trump is insane. He's a major A-hole and IMO isn't very bright, but that doesn't make him insane. I agreed with many of his policies and would love to see them implemented again. I think he handled Covid a million times better than Biden would have. Doesn't mean I have to like the man personally. So, what makes you think he's insane?

There isn't anything a conservative can do about it. They're outnumbered.

No you haven't. Here is an actual post of his from earlier today describing the POS border "security" bill who's details were just released by the Senate: There is literally nothing in that bill that actual conservatives want. His description is from fairy land and trying to discuss it with him is futile. But he will post every 3 posts in that thread and destroy and semblance of intelligent discussion, just like RustyPimp. The only difference is Rusty is destroying things on purpose while Tim is just an idiot.

That's not all. California passed a bill last year to add an income based surcharge to electric bills. Even some Dems now realize that was a mistake and want to repeal it, but Newsom doesn't want that. So, Californians, I hope you're happy with your overlords. https://gvwire.com/2024/01/31/california-dems-oppose-income-based-electricity-rates-after-voting-for-them/
