    looks into the bill

    Yet another “stop the kicking of puppies” bill that also included sacrificing all firstborns to the dark lord.

    One issue per bill. Those fuckers need to start working for their money again, not just continually posturing for sound bites they can use in their next election. But wait…that’s getting a bit too close to transparency.

      The stupid part is it’s almost always shit like. Bill bans ai child porn on page one legalizes real child porn on page two. Head line POLITICIAN VOTES TO KEEP AI CHILD PORM LEGAL.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if this bill has horrid knock on effects that make every thing worse.

        or that the ones that vote no have phones/computers filled with child porn… real or generated.

        Remember, this is the epstein party we’re talking about

    If a bill headlines as “think of the children” it is always evil and full of unrelated shit. No exceptions.

    Good on those 3 republicans for looking out for their constituents. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go take a shower after writing that last sentence.

      The scary part is, since social media age verification was hidden in it… that might not be satire for once.

      Social media platforms would be required to implement age verification measures to ensure youth under 16 can’t create social media accounts and allow parents to oversee social media use by 16- and 17-year-olds.

      Yes.

      It’s tiresome how lawmakers love to put a ton of shit into a single vote.

        It may be that is the actual reason these republicans voted no. Not that I trust them with kids close by, but 1 vote for a bill that looks more like a Walmart on crack than, well, a proper bill, I can imagine you end up voting in interesting ways sometimes.

          This is a strategy, and has been for years, ever since political advertising became a thing over the air. “Congressman X voted NO on a bill that would stop people from drinking raw sewage (because it also contained a section that would limit the ability of the federal government to regulate food)”, etc.

          It really is a pervasive issue, similar to how Republicans keep ramming pet projects into budget reconciliation bills in the House. We really need legislation that bars bills from containing unrelated items in them.

            So that sounds good in theory, but in practice it is used to prevent anything the judiciary dislikes from being done. Have a single issue bill that all it says is it moves cannabis from class 1 to class 3 controlled substance? Well that affects interstate commerce too so whoopsie can’t write that law.

            I’m not from the states so please forgive me if this is incorrect, but I’ve read a “bill” can start out as one thing. Get a load of traction, then be changed last minute to something else entirely just before the vote. Is that true? Seems impossible track if it is

              Yup. Check the title of this bill vs the amendment

              https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/s1318/text

              “Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act”

              Amendment: "… Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

              1.Short titles; table of contents (a)Short titles This Act may be cited as the Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act."

      Or actually look deeper as to why they would have voted no before coming to the worst possible conclusion.

          I read it correctly the first time. You said “investigate” but then you decided what the result of said investigation should be. You’ve already found them guilty because of a headline.

          investigate is the verb, but “those enablers and pedophiles” immediately labels them

          and then “Hang them all” it pretty unambiguous
