George Santos should go, and so should this guy. But let's not pretend
that a state official in any way compares to a national official.

Do you see a lot of your imaginary leftists standing up for this guy? No?
Then what the fuck is your point?

See the difference between right and left is that when caught doing
something illegal, or immoral, we don't double-down and support the
criminals.

You guys do. You actually put them on the top of your list.

Punchline: “a good start”

--
The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it is still on my list.

On Friday, a federal judge nominated to the District Court by former
President Bill Clinton blocked the state of Florida from implementing
HB 1438, which prohibited an establishment from knowingly admitting
minors to �adult live performances,� including drag performances.

��Adult live performance� means any show, exhibition, or other
presentation in front of a live audience which, in whole or in part,
depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or
specific sexual activities,� the law states. This includes �lewd
conduct, or the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or
breasts when it: Predominantly appeals to a prurient, shameful, or
morbid interest; is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the
adult community of this state as a whole with respect to what is
suitable material or conduct for the age of the child present; taken as
a whole, is without serious literary, artistic, political, or
scientific value for the age of the child present.�

Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law in May,
saying, �Florida is proud to lead the way in standing up for our
children. As the world goes mad, Florida represents a refuge of sanity
and a citadel of normalcy.�

But the owners of Hamburger Mary�s Orlando, a drag-themed restaurant,
sued Florida, saying the law transgressed their First Amendment rights.

U.S. District Judge Gregory A. Presnell, nominated by Clinton in June
2000, sided with the drag-themed restaurant, writing that the law was
�dangerously susceptible to standardless, overbroad enforcement� and
conflicted with Florida�s �Parents� Bill of Rights� because the state
was in charge of deciding what performances the children could attend
instead of the parents.

Presnell reportedly worried that the law was �specifically designed to
suppress the speech of drag queen performers,� quoting HB 1438�s
sponsor, Republican state Rep. Randy Fine, saying it �will protect our
children by ending the gateway propaganda to this evil � �Drag Queen
Story Time.��

The judge contended that Florida�s obscenity laws protect children from
�any constitutionally unprotected obscene exhibitions or shows.�

Cite?

President Joe Biden is a self-described gaffe machine, but you wouldn�t
always know that by reading the official White House transcripts of his
speeches and remarks.

Sometimes, the transcript throws in a [sic] when Biden misspeaks. Other
times, the stenographer adds a bracketed correction to Biden�s error. And
every once in a while, the White House just cuts out Biden�s bizarre word
salads altogether.

Here�s a slew of examples from official transcripts just this month, found on
the Whitehouse.gov website.

�Last summer, I had the honor of bestowing the Presidential Meda- � Medal of
Freemon [sic] � Freedom on distinguished Americans �� (June 16, 2023).

�And I�m pleased we�re also joined by x-pay [sic] � xBk, a small venue in Des
Moines, Iowa, that�s going be using all upfront pricing for its hundred
events at � a year as well �� (June 15, 2023).

�Let me tell you, the Inflation Reduction Act includes $369 billion to comat
[sic] � combat climate change �� (June 14, 2023).

�We made clear � they made clear that we�d rather th- � they�d rather
threaten the default of the U.S. economy than cut or get rid of, for example,
$30 billion in taxpayer subsidies to oil companies who made $200 million
[sic] last year � billion. I said �million.� Billion dollars last year ��
(June 14, 2023).

�� transgester [sic] Americans � transgender Americans serving in the United
States military �� (June 10, 2023) ��

�This could have been the week that a catastrophic � catastrophic devault
[sic] � default happened �� (June 6, 2023).

Other times, the White House edits the transcript to fix Biden�s errors, such
as striking through whatever random word Biden actually said and bracketing
what he should have said.

�Forty million � 40 million Americans already drinking water that thousands
of farmers rely on for � for <s>integration</s> [irrigation]. And 40 million
count on that river and so do the farmers�.� (June 19, 2023).

�Folks, flood mitigation: $3.5 <s>million</s> [billion] to reduce or
eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings �� (June 19,
2023).

�And maybe most important, I�ve committed by <s>2020</s> [2030], we will have
conserved 30 percent of all the lands and waters the United States has
jurisdiction over �� (June 19, 2023).

�Mary <s>Robinson</s> [Barra], the Chairman of the Board of General Motors ��
(June 19, 2023).

�The ticket seller, <s>SeatGreek</s> [SeatGeek], is also set to give
customers the option of seeing all-in, upfront prices �� (June 15, 2023).

�When we were at the G7, we talked about � one of the meetings was � they
used to call the Build Back Better World. It�s not that now. It�s the
<s>PIII</s> [PGII] � P-triple-I [sic] �� (June 13, 2023).

�And finally, this executive order means more resources, especially when it
comes to improving military families� access to quality, <s>defendable</s>
[dependable], and affordable � affordable childcare �� (June 9, 2023).

Your post was just about unreadable because of the many, many non-ASCII

Excuse me. It's not Ubi's post. Ubi doesn't write anything. Ubi makes
zero contribution to Usenet. All he does, all he ever does, is
plagarize. If you're going to follow up to Ubi, kindly stop treating him
as if he's the author. He's the plagarizer.

Actually, stop treating Ubi as if he's a rational human being who can be
reasoned with to cease his chronic trolling, which is what this is.

In this case, even if you personally were using a newsreader that
performed a proper character-set translation from the one Ubi used to
the one that you use, Ubi failed to add required MIME headers to declare
the character set.

I'm not bothering to add required MIME headers in my followup because
it's now an unreadable mess.

I apologize. It's on me to ignore you when you follow up to Ubi. But for
the life of me, as a retired news man, I don't see how you tolerate the
plagarism.

It's not my place to tell you how to treat Ubi, as if it's possible
to reason with him.

So all this time, when every state in the union has had age restrictions
on bars and strip clubs, they've been violating the Constitution?

Who knew?

What is a depiction of nudity as opposed to, well, being naked?

Please don't worry about it. As for the plagiarism, it really doesn't
count with me. I tend to do links and not cut 'n' pastes, but that's
pretty much automatic with me.

Not you.

IN December, i was listening to Ali Velshi talk about ZelenskyY’s speech, and it occurs to me, I’d bet at least half of the whiny big-mouthed dopes in congress like Gaeyz and Jordan never even heard of or have no idea even what happened at the battle of the bulge or Saratoga anyway.

That's not the issue in play here and might explain why you're not a lawyer.

Dang, you really triggered FPP! What's his record for rapid-fire followups?
I think he's posted more than three in the past.

I only see what Effa Pee Pee writes when someone quotes him and since he's
not well liked here, that thankfully doesn't happen very often.

Republican Miami Mayor Francis Suarez admitted during an interview with Hugh
Hewitt this week that he was completely unaware of one of the largest human
rights issues in the world.

Suarez, a long-shot Republican presidential candidate, was asked by Hewitt
about the Uyghurs, a minority group in China who are locked up in
concentration camps and forced into re-education facilities.

After talking briefly about China, Hewitt asked Suarez, �Will you be talking
about the Uyghurs in your campaign?�

�The what?� Suarez responded.

�The Uyghurs,� Hewitt said.

�What�s a Uyghur?� Suarez asked.

Hugh Hewitt: �Will you be talking about the Uyghurs in your
campaign?�

Several minutes later, at the end of the interview, Suarez said, �And you
gave me homework, Hugh.�

�I�ll look at what a, what was it, what did you call it, a Weeble?� Suarez
said laughingly.

�The Uyghurs. You really need to know about the Uyghurs, Mayor,� Hewitt, who
was not laughing, responded. �You�ve got to talk about it every day, okay?�

Reports have surfaced in recent years of violent gang rape against the
Uyghurs and other religious minorities detained in the Chinese concentration
camps in Xinjiang.

Qelbinur Sidik, who was forced to teach inside the camps, made allegations in
an interview published by CNN in 2021. Sidik�s story begins by noting that a
policewoman told her very early on that she had been assigned to investigate
reports of rapes and torture taking place at the facility. Sidik said that
the policewoman described to her how the male guards at the camp often
bragged while drinking about how they �raped and tortured girls.�

Sidik said that her first encounter with new detainees was approximately 100
men and women who were chained in shackles around their hands and feet. She
said that even those that came in physically and mentally strong eventually
were broken by the brutal system that the communist Chinese had installed in
the camps, where an estimated nearly 2 million religious minorities are being
detained. She said that she witnessed �horrific traged[ies]� while working at
the camp where women were regularly �crying loudly.�

Another witness, Tursunay Ziyawudun, told CNN that she committed no crime
when she was sent to the camps. After a month in the camp, authorities
released Ziyawudun, only to arrest her a short time later for a nine-month
�nightmare.� Ziyawudun, who is now in the U.S., told CNN that large numbers
women were often crammed into small spaces, allowed minimal time to basic
facilities like toilets, and were brutally punished for small things like
using the facilities for too long.

During an interrogation session, Ziyawudun said that she was beaten so
intensely that she passed out. Another time, guards forced her on to a table
where they �inserted a stun baton� inside her and �twisted and shocked� her
until she �blacked out� from the pain. A couple of weeks later she was ganged
raped by several men, an experience she said happened to her multiple times
while in the camps.

�They were extremely sadistic, causing pain and damage to the body by beating
and smacking my head on the wall,� Ziyawudun said, �It was their way of
punishing us.�

So THAT'S why you don't mind me proving that you're a liar!
I wondered about that.

Nothing says 'fearless' like pretending not to read me, but constantly
saying my name.

Well, since it was you constantly bringing up my name (even going as far
as spelling it phonetically to prevent me from getting a Google alert)
that kept me involved, that's particularly rich.

And, yes, I've always been terrified that you won't like me. I'm glad
you noticed.

He just posted three followups and a followup to one of them. #Triggered

I've noticed most of his replies come from the other sockpuppets of
"trotsky".
