Woah, now. “Twink” subculture is often focused on looking young, but the goal is “early 20s,” not “underage.” The archetype is young, fit, slim, slightly effeminate, but still adult. It’s not even in the same category as “barely legal” porn - twinks aren’t deliberately coding as minors, the way you often see “sexy schoolgirls” in hetero porn.
That’s what I was thinking, too.
Good heavens! One hopes not.
I was required to carry a pager at one job more than thirty years ago. Not once did anyone ever call it, though.
If you drop a nuke on someone, you are certainly donating it to them.
If it explodes, well, that’s what they are designed to do.
As was I. It only went off once… while I was in court.
Timeout! Drug deal!
Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) thinks you need to show ID in order to procreate.
Of course if they’ve banned abortion as they want to do, and have already mostly suceeded at, what are they going to do if you show up pregnant wo ID? Which “ID” they really mean as proof of citizenship, not proof of identity.
So much consistency and winning from these moron losers.
I think Walz said it best.
It couldn’t possibly be because hookers are trying to make sure he’s not an undercover cop could it?
Another post snuck in before I got mine done. Unfortunate.

Rand Paul has to explain to Markwayne “if CTE were a person” Mullin that dueling is illegal.
Even Zell Miller knew that!
Dueling with two consenting adults is still there RAND PAUL: It’s been illegal for 170 years! There’s no precedent for legal dueling.
I always chuckle over that famous duel challenged in New Orleans.
From Blacksmith Duel - Anvilfire
ONE of the famous duelists of early New Orleans was Bernard Marlgny, a member of one of Louisiana’s oldest and most influential families, who was a master swordsman and a crack shot with a pistol. He was elected to the state Legislature in 1817 as a member of the House of Representatives and took an active and a leading part in the many disputes that arose between the Creoles and the Americans. At the same time Catahoula Parish was represented by James Humble, a blacksmith and a former resident of Georgia, who was noted for his great stature — he stood almost seven feet in his stockings. The Georgian replied to one of Marigny’s most impassioned speeches, and made various allusions so pointed and personal that the Creole considered himself grievously insulted, and challenged the blacksmith to a duel. Humble sought the advice of a friend.
HUMBLE was assured that he would be mined both politically and socially if he declined to meet the Creole. His friend pointed out that as the challenged person the blacksmith had the choice of weapons and could so choose as to put himself on equal terms with his adversary.
HUMBLE considered the matter for a day or two and then sent this reply to Marigny:“I accept your challenge, and in the exercise of my privilege, I stipulate that the duel shall take place in Lake Pontchartrain in six feet of water, sledge-hammers to be used as weapons.”
SINCE Marigny was less than five feet and eight inches tall and so slight that he could scarcely lift a sledge-hammer, this was giving Humble an equal chance with a vengeance. The Creole’s friends urged him to stand on a box and run the risk of having his skull cracked by the huge blacksmith’s hammer, but Marigny declared that it was impossible for him to fight a man with such a sense of humor. Instead he apologized to Humble, and the two became firm friends.
Similarly, the duel to which Otto von Bismarck challenged politician and scientist Rudolph Virchow:
Turns out that the sort of people who challenge others to duels never actually want a fair fight.
Yes, Markwayne is remarkably stupid.
But Rand Paul’s point deserves underlining. MWM has proven himself on several occasions to be a physically combative person with low impulse control. Paul:
(My bolding)
Ah, perhaps that’s where Eric Flint got the idea.
He wrote a novel where a Carolina coal- mining town is transported en masse to 1632 in the middle of Europe. It’s a time where aristocrats duel for any number of reasons. One of the characters is a really pretty cover country girl who is a crack shot with a rifle. Her boyfriend is a professional football player IIRC lineman.
It was suggested that he should be careful because someone might be inclined to remove him as an obstacle to his girlfriend by challenging him to a duel. His response was to let out be known that anyone challenging him to a duel would face 20 lb sledgehammers as his weapon of choice. He was big enough to one- hand those.
Or one at all.
