Democracy lets the people decide who rules, but there is no guarantee that they won't occasionally use the power to make catastrophically bad decisions.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
-H. L. Mencken

Justice Department prosecutors said Friday that former House speaker Dennis Hastert abused four young boys when he was their wrestling coach, and urged that he be ordered to serve up to six months in prison when he's sentenced later this month.

While Hastert has pleaded guilty to a financial violation, prosecutors said, "the actions at the core of this case took place not on the defendant's national public stage but in his private one-on-one encounters in an empty locker room and a motel room with minors that violated the special trust between those young boys and their coach."

Remember the last GOP post mortem where they concluded they needed to be the Big Tent Party? Trump is the exact opposite.

The Feds threatened to withold education funds. To a NC Republican, this is a hollow threat since they do not value education. Previous senator Helms voted down every education funding bill that came to him. Mcrory has the same mindset. He goes out of his way to screw teachers and at the same time calls it a raise in pay.

If the Feds really want to get their attention they should threaten to tax churches. Seriously.

When are they going to do something about priests using male bathrooms?

I really don't care who is pooping next to me as long as they keep it in their stall. muhahaha

 

[rockofullr]

How bout we just all use whatever the fuck bathroom we want and no one look at each other's junk

BTW I saw a woman in the men's restroom the other day in the Montreal airport. She was washing up at the sink and after I walked up from the urinal she realized where she was and noped the fuck out of there super embarrassed. We both survived the incident.

I don't understand why bathrooms are suddenly so dangerous. Especially in a woman's room (which is what people are seemingly worried about) everyone gets their own space. The trough at the Oakland Coliseum is the only place where anyone ever has a chance to see my junk and you have to have the same equipment as me to even use it.

Putting your head in the sand regarding this very serious epidemic isn't going to solve the problem.

Being a guy advantage: whipping it out anywhere to pee.

Disadvantage: standing in a puddle of urine to use a urinal.

All the biggest, government is bad, chest thumping, patriot, war-hawk types I know have never served. Several of them have government jobs. I do not believe they are aware of the dichotomy. Or aware of much of anything.

 

[Toshi]

That's because they are makers in their minds, not takers. Government aid to the worthy (i.e. people like them or who look like them) is American and Right.

I know a DOD analyst like this. To top it off he complains about having to be too politically correct at work so as not to offend his sissy co-workers who have PTSD from actually serving. He owns a bunch of guns so he knows exactly what combat is like and is no big deal.
