Is your multi-billion dollar company struggling to find people to work dangerous jobs for long hours at sub-minimum wage?
Iowa’s legislature has a solution - child labor!
Matt Gaetz invites a gun club executive to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. The guy is an accused murderer.
Or all three!
Who do you have to piss off to be the officer who has to brief MTG on anything? I hope there’s combat pay involved.
Today’s edition of Gil Thorpe includes a panel where two characters speak to each other in Spanish, and you’d better believe it’s triggering the bejeezus out of the octogenarian snowflakes who actually read drama comics in the daily paper.
Well, TBF, is is a traditional value.
Dad: “Let’s see who can pull their pants up the highest. I win!”
40 years from now watching old movies - “Why are their pants so low?”.
But, COVID isn’t a real threat, right? It’s just something liberals made up to try to control “real Americans” by forcing them to wear masks. And they can cure it with ivermectin and shining a light up your ass. So what’s the big deal?
Wow, in a story full of word salad intended to make this seem like not his fault, this bit stands out as particularly nutty:
“We do have a team of dedicated young professionals who don’t look for and assume the worst in our constituents, especially our veterans,” Gaetz said.
It makes it sound like he has a team of “dedicated young professionals” whose job is to specifically not look into people’s backgrounds.
“I’m looking for an employee committed to the notion of not doing even the most basic fact-checking or vetting of people I intend to put in politically important, nationally-advertised public relations spotlights.”
“Sir, I am that person!”
“You’re hired!”
And that’s not even the worst part.
The Iowa proposal would also expand hours teenagers can work during the school year, and would shield businesses from civil liability if a youth worker is sickened, injured or killed on the job.
I mean, I can see the logic in expanding employment of Teens, to do jobs they can’t find anyone else to fill. But why then also go out of your way to shield businesses from liability if the kids are injured or killed? That’s just Dickensian level evil. “Hire a Teen and Kill Them! We’ve got your back, Big Business!”
I wonder if anyone in the military has ever tried to argue that, while they have a general obligation to keep Congress informed on matters of National Security, that doesn’t necessarily mean they have an obligation to keep certain particular members of Congress so informed. Would it be possible for the military to say, “We will provide a full report, so long as Member Security Risk, (R-Moscow) is excluded from the proceedings.”?
But on the gripping hand, I have to say, these new employees are doing a heck of a job!

This is the age when doing this kind of thing is fun!
Meanwhile, the governors of Florida and Texas (R-idiots) are sending asylum seekers to D.C. and Martha’s Vineyard. Seems sending them to Iowa and Minnesota would be labor productive. HOLD ON A SECOND STEVE. “Those” people would like the jobs, and even worse, the employers would start to like having them around. That’s no way to stoke a fear and hatred campaign. Abolish the thought.
Maybe, then, re-route them to Minnesota and Iowa? 
(Yeah, I know - it’s not like us to foist off some burden elsewhere, I know. )
The Florida legislature just passed a bill giving DeSanctimonious $10 million to pay for the transport of immigrants to northern states.
Kari Lake says that if elections were really fair, Republicans would win every race.
