You Dems have always insisted you have a huge tent, that you are the party of inclusiveness. You "tent" includes pedophiles and other messed up people. Accept that fact!
Sally is a moron of epic proportions. He gives a link to HAWLEY'S page?! Holy sh!t!
That bill was NOT just to protect children, it had a LOT of things in it that Democrats didn't agree with, INCLUDING mandatory minimum sentences that have been previously deemed to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!
VERY easy to put together an unconstitutional bill, expect Democrats to go along with it and then when they do, say it's because they support pedophilia. NONSENSE. The sh!t article Sally put up there about California is BS too...Go to any fact-checking site, and they will tell you that that article is BS misrepresentation from start to finish.
Holy f*ck Sally, you believe this nonsense that Democrats support pedophilia?! Good Lord, I knew you were an idiot (and I mean OUTRAGEOUSLY STUPID) and a really bad a$$hole of a person who berates his wife for being Chinese and then brags about it in public, but I did not honestly believe before today that you were also batsh!t crazy. This explains a LOT.
Gonna have to treat you from now on as I will Gary (good chance you are the same person).
You pointed out one guy who may have or have not engaged in pedophilia. He has not had his day in court. The Dems are released 7000 CONVICTED pedophiles who WILL molest young children again. Not sure why I am getting downvotes. You Dems are okay with Dems in Congress blocking a bill to protect young kids?
Oh you think that’s the only example?
I can go on.
Also Adam Hageman WAS engaged in pedophilia by his own admission. Why you’re trying to say he may or may not have been engaged in pedophilia is weird.
Sorry, that was my mistake. I thought he had just been charged with a crime/crimes - I was not aware he had been convicted.

How about you f*ck off with your nonsense.
You can't refute the release of 7000 pedophiles by Democrats so you attack me. Your rage is out of control again. Try offering up refutations of facts presented to you rather than an endless hurl of insults, name-calling and just outright nuttiness.
You don't know what you are talking about. Democrats routinely support pedophiles. Here is just one example of Dems releasing 7,000 pedophiles from prison early. And almost always pedophiles have been proven to be recidivists - so these pedophiles WILL go on to sexually abuse young children again.
Flagpole doth protest too much. For those who don't understand what that means, when someone, like Flagpole, insists so much about something, the opposite of what he is insisting is usually true. The Dems, not all of them, ARE the party of pedophiles.
This is such an obnoxious political move and I doubt it has any positive effect for the GOP. Does anyone think that independents are going to buy that the Democrats support sex trafficking and pedophilia? And then there’s all the people trying to tie homosexuality and gender ideology together with pedophilia. Playing to your base’s homophobia is not as effective as it was 20 years ago. America likes the gays now.
I’m not that excited for the next two years of politics. Gridlock and finger pointing. As Joedirt already mentioned, the only significant thing that could happen is a justice dying. We can only hope, right?
Trump lawyers found classified items at a storage unit GSA arranged for Trump in Florida, turning them over to the FBI. Trump sources say items were packed in No. Va, sent down & Trump had no idea what was there, but they had to get in there somehow?

It's like Thoreau wrote in Walden "That government is best which governs least". Some people decry a stalemate, I celebrate it. Regulations hamper capitalism and innovation. It's why a predominantly socialist Europe takes so long to emerge from downturns.

So, now you are critical of Trump voluntarily returning items that may be considered classified. You look through the old closets and trunks of former presidents and you will be sure to find classified materials or items that are classified as government property.

calling europe 'predominantly socialist' is a sign of near-complete ignorance. People should stop reading at that point.
just saying. Clean up your act. I mean the best for you joe. People do laugh at you when you say things like that. I don't want people laughing at you, I really don't. Help me....help you.

Do you know that Thoreau stole that phrase (changed it a little bit) and then was actually using it to say we should have NO Government at all? Or do you just take little quotes and think you know what was meant by them?
Trump lawyers found classified items at a storage unit GSA arranged for Trump in Florida, turning them over to the FBI. Trump sources say items were packed in No. Va, sent down & Trump had no idea what was there, but they had to get in there somehow?

geez. voluntairly. Here's the sequence.
1/ trump steals a bunch of classified documents.
2/ feds ask for it back. for months.
3/ trump stalls, refuses. tells his lawyers to lie about it all. His lawyers lie about it all.
4/ feds get fed up and raid the place, take back stolen classified docs
5/ judge tells trump lawyers not to trust a word trump says anymore and go look for more classified documents themselves.
6/ trump lawyers in fact do find said classified documents hidden in a florida storage unit.

Is that what you are arguing for? NO Government?
I read all of Thoreau's works during my senior year of college as some recreational reading outside of my engineering studies, so I apologize if I am not up to date on every word. It was interesting, and I enjoyed it when I was out camping, rock climbing or on fishing trips. There is something to be said for living humbly. At the time I was in my early twenties and had never owned a car, and for entertainment I would mountain bike to hiking trails along rivers, stash my bike in the woods, hike in, camp and fish. But, yes, I am aware that he adapted the phrase from others and later turns on the phrase later in the book saying something along the lines of that government is not best that which governs least, but that which governs not at all. I am also aware that his mom did his laundry and cooked a decent amount of his food for him when he was writing Walden, so I take it in with that in mind.
That being said, governments tend to overregulate things, and a lot of those regulations are bought and paid for by interest groups that profit off of the regulations at the expense of consumers. I've done energy efficiency work in multiple states through the years, and the varying regulations have a dramatic impact on project costs and viability for different technologies. In states with fewer regulations, projects are quick, simple, easily maintained and efficient. In states that are heavily regulated, projects are slow, complex, impossible to maintain and not that much more efficient (sometimes less so). I compared two projects I worked on recently.
Californians complain about the lack of affordable housing, but when you look at the regulations, it should come as no surprise. People get upset about the cost of college, but when you look at how many administrators they have on campus providing almost no educational value, it should come as no surprise.
