I am now unironically likely R on the Wisconsin gubernatorial race. 7 months ago Francesca Hong voted against a bill that made it illegal for teachers to groom their students for sexual purposes Here’s what happened: A 30-year-old teacher messaged a 13-year-old student of his every day for six months and talked about how he wanted them to be together, she had a nice body, and he was jealous when she talked to other boys. He also sent her pictures of himself lying shirtless in bed So the cops arrested him but when they went to charge him, they realized nothing he did was actually illegal. They never made sexual contact and no pictures were exchanged that were explicit enough to qualify under Wisconsin state law. This guy was actively trying to rape a 13-year-old student and there was no law forbidding his conduct He wound up being charged with a bunch of disturbing the peace charges and only spent six months in prison for spending half a year abusing his authority as a teacher to manipulate a 13-year-old girl into having sex with him. He is not a convicted felon - since all the charges were misdemeanors - and is not on the sex offender registry The Wisconsin State Assembly responded to this by drafting a bipartisan bill that made it a felony to engage in any course of conduct clearly and obviously intended seduce or lure a child into engaging in sexual acts or exchanging illicit images. It passed 193-6 and was signed into law by the Democratic governor. Francesca Hong voted no. 4 months later the first person was charged under the new law. He was 36-year-old man who met a developmentally disabled 16-year-old in a public park when she was 13 and spent the next three years trying to manipulate her into running away from home so he could make her his live-in sex slave. To recap: Earlier *this very year* Franesca Hong was one of only six people to vote against a bill that made it illegal to take affirmative action designed to lure a minor into sexual acts and the very first person the bill Hong voted against was used to arrest was a guy who tried to rape an underage girl with Down Syndrome I have never seen a Democratic candidate this bad. This is like Mark Robinson territory

@edu_67_ My favorite game of all time. I’m jealous that you got to play it for the first time.

@Nitroid I was 18 when MGS4 came out in 2008. That was half my life ago. I got my first job to buy a PS3 so I could play this game. I am so excited for this rerelease.

@sunnyright My biggest hope is that our enemies are as stupid as we are.

While we’re on the topic today of how weird things got a few years ago I still don’t understand how those monkey pictures sold for millions of dollars

@jussawhole In your defense, worth it for the story.

@usagicrystal_ It’s great they have you. This is a beautiful outlook: “I feel the universe convinced us to not have kids because it knew we’d be needed eventually.”

@CoreyWriting Being tall (6’5”) has been an enormous benefit to my life. Only downside is hitting my head on things.

@MeghanMcCain My mental health record is shockingly similar to hers except I’m not running for governor.

@CoreyWriting 100%. My fellow American Jews need to WAKE UP!

@politicalmath Even microSD cards spiked in price 😭

@__Niko__04 100%. The rapid aging plays into Snake’s characterization perfectly.

I've said this before, but it is absolutely insane that Drop Site has not been subpoenaed by Congress. This is an explicitly pro-terrorist outlet with direct ties to terrorists. A lot of people are being introduced to how insane Drop Site and Jeremy Scahill are today. Scahill outlines here that Oct. 7 was justified but all of Israel's subsequent actions were "genocide." He also believes Israel has zero right to missile defense and that Israeli civilians are being murdered by Israel, not by Hamas or terrorists. Since Israel has mandatory conscription, the leftist argument is that Oct. 7 was justified because all Israelis are military members. As I've stated before, ending aid is only the opening request. Leftists will demand a full embargo with Israel being unable to even purchase even defensive weapons. If you concede Gaza is a "genocide" then why would the US sell weapons to continue that? The whole point of branding Gaza a "genocide" was to lay the foundation to implement a total isolation of Israel. Scahill and the rest of the leftists want terrorists to be totally empowered against Israel to strike its population centers and want Israel to be incapable of responding. Of course, this is part of their broader assault against Western civlization as a whole, in which they believe the "global south" are the true moral protagonists and the rest of us are evil imperialists and settlers that should be forced to dissolve our societies and bow down or be murdered.

Ro Khanna isn’t pro resistance enough for Drop Site News. Can’t make this up.

If Free Palestine were to succeed and Israel were eliminated, it would be the worst thing that ever happened to the Palestinians. First of all, let’s just be honest. Palestinians are not interested in democracy. They are Islamist extremists who openly executed and celebrated October 7. If they actually won, they would slaughter 7 millions Jews and 2 million Israeli Arabs and Palestinians they considered collaborators. That’s not remotely controversial if you’ve actually paid attention to what these groups say and do. Then what? Gaza doesn’t have an economy. The West Bank is deeply dependent on Israel and international aid. They’ve spent generations fighting Israel instead of building the institutions of a functioning state. So after the evil Jews are finally gone, what exactly is the plan? What industry suddenly appears? What government? What economy? The answer seems pretty obvious to me. Palestine would become an extremist Islamist state almost immediately. The violence wouldn’t stop. It would just find new targets. Hezbollah would stop being an ally and start being a rival. Jordan would be next. Egypt would be next. Revolutionary movements don’t retire if they win, they look for another revolution. People always ask why Egypt and Jordan don’t simply open their borders. They’ve already learned this lesson. Both have dealt with Palestinian militants destabilizing their own countries. They don’t want to do it again. Then there’s the issue of how Palestinians don’t literally starve. For decades Palestinians have survived on extraordinary levels of international aid. Does anyone seriously believe that continues after the destruction of Israel? I don’t. Western countries aren’t going to enthusiastically bankroll the state that just carried out one of the largest massacres in modern history. And Arab governments would have no political incentive to feed the people killing them (something Israel does.) So what would the Palestinians be left with? An impoverished Islamist state. Competing militias. Something much closer to Yemen than Singapore. Famine. Civil war. Religious extremism. The sane Palestinians trapped in the middle. And for them, emigration would become impossible. Right now many countries accept Palestinian refugees because the story is they’re fleeing Israel. If Israel no longer exists because it was Holocausted, I have a hard time believing those same countries are going to welcome any refugees. The uncomfortable truth is the current stalemate is almost certainly better for Palestinians than “victory.” If you actually care about the future of the Palestinian people instead of chanting slogans, the only path that makes any sense is generations of deradicalization, building functioning institutions, developing a real economy, and eventually creating a state that defines itself by what it builds instead of what it wants to destroy.

@EylonALevy @MaxNordau These pro-Palestinian talking points are so tired. Everyone just parrots Norman Finkelstein.

@IntrovertProbss This but with bathrooms.

@caroljsroth How did roads get lumped in with health care?
