I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in Gaetz meeting with the Senators. I hope they blasted that scumbag right to his stupid -------- looking face.

Now Trump can pick MTG.

It is still a bad bill that will increase government and corporate censorship, restrict the rights of adults and children and increase online monitoring.

The revised KOSA is still likely to result in websites expanding content censorship and being forced to enact age and location verification measures. Do you really want the Trump administration to be able to be able to determine what type of content is harmful to minors. KOSA could result in minors being restricted from accessing information on topics such as gender, race, suicide prevention, sexual development, etc?

Furthermore, why does it only ban deceptive practices targeting minors and require sites to give minor's the options to restrict the use of their personal data or even mandate the deletion of their accounts and data? If those are important features when it comes to protecting minors from online exploitation from big tech then why not also mandate those options be available for adult users? I trust my 15 year old nephew to make better decisions online than I do my 70 year old mother.

This story reminded me of a story from 2022.

I certainly don't condone sexual assault, but she made the choice to get uncontrollably wasted with a stranger.

I'm not sure that you understand what it means to not condone something. It sure sounds like you are pushing the blame back on to the victim.

Here's a simple rule to help you.
Can and did the person legally consent to sex?
If the answer is not yes and yes then the blame lies solely on the perpetrator.

Also, he's not a stranger.
"Jessup was charged with assaulting his youngest daughter, Rachel, on a trip to Las Vegas intended to celebrate her 21st birthday."

Republican voters elected a man who they knew prior to the election was already jailed for sexually assaulting his daughter and they still voted for him.

It is a party filled with deplorable garbage people.

And MTG sat by silently while members of her party got away with sexual assault until she saw benefit in finally calling it out. She's garbage.

Republicans love to elect rapists.

I'll be honest with you guys, I dont think this dude should be nominated to anything.

Why's that? I'd really like to hear your explanation to get a better of idea of how it is we find common ground on this matter.

This dude was on MTV Real World. FML. We are screwed.

Nothing against cashiers but you are comparing people who have highly specialized training and doctorate degrees with cashiers.
There's a very high probability that your pharmacist is more informed on potential interactions, allergies, efficacy rates, approved off label uses, benefits/risks of specific generics, etc. If you aren't discussing your prescriptions with your pharmacist then you are not likely talking to the most informed expert you know on the topic.

Sarah Palin asks: Why not me?

She's got a point. She's every bit as dumb, cruel and unqualified as other Trump picks.

Give it another three years or so and watch the spike after those covid era babies get to grade school.

What did they expect from a guy who banned Muslims from entering the US and whose middle east plan cut the Palestinians out of the talks? Jared Kushner literally said Israel should force Palestinians into Egypt and the Negev desert and flatten Gaza to in order to redevelop it. "Gaza's waterfront property could be very valuable."

Does anyone seriously believe that Donald Trump won't do everything he can to remain in power until his death? I won't be surprised if he tries to get himself declared King and pass his title to one of his kids.

Congress should investigate whether Trump, Musk or anyone else in Trump's circle was stocking on dogecoin before the announcement was made.

Democrats should ask Gaetz during confirmation hearing if he has ever used cocaine or had sex with underage partners since becoming an adult.

This is a clear case of price manipulation. Doge was trading at 16 cents on election day. Jumped to .21 on wed, fell to .19 Thursday. Then on Monday, a day before the announcement, the price spiked to .35, making all of Elon's Doge holdings worth more than double what they were a week prior.

This is in no way a serious pick. Trump is trying to troll Tim Walz by picking someone from the MN Guard. Sadly it is the US that will suffer the consequences.

Which means Biden can have Trumpy jailed if he loses and tries to incite another coup.
Now I'd pay good money to see that!

That is based on the assumption that the Supreme Court is not a corrupt institution and would actually apply their ruling equally.

The story in these finals days has heavily focused on the surge of women voters, especially unlikely ones, turning out to vote early. I'm not political scientist but I'm pretty certain that having the VP nominee refer to one of the most accomplished women in the country as trash is not a solid closing argument.

Well, considering that Joe Biden was sworn in as POTUS, it would bave been up to the Secret Service to remove Dotard...

What he is saying is that he should have had Biden jailed or killed so he couldn't be sworn in. Let's not forget that he had his lawyers make that argument to the Supreme Court.

This is why Trump has been telling his supporters that they won't have to vote again if he wins. He is making clear that if he returns to the White House then he will die in the White House. There will be no 2028 Presidential election if he lives that long.

This reminds me of going to a WWE show. They will move audience members to the side of the arena where the cameras primary face to make it look like a sellout on TV when the place is only half full.

Glad to see the Times make this statement. The cowardly Jeff Bezos should pay attention.
