begooode Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) That CPAC crowd,… I’m hoping we don’t see these attendees involved in dangerous activities in the next few years. Former Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake won a straw poll for the Republican vice presidential pick during the Conservative Action Political Conference (CPAC) this weekend. Among a field of 28 candidates, Lake won the poll with 20 percent of the vote, beating former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis received 14 percent of the vote, and Haley, who announced her bid for the White House last month, won 10 percent.

begooode Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Defeated Arizona secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem, a Republican who refused to concede in his loss to his Democratic opponent, was sanctioned by a state judge over his lawsuit that challenged his loss last year. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Melissa Julian said the suit brought forward by Finchem and his attorney was “groundless and not brought in good faith.”… …“Finchem’s expert report identified 80,000 potentially ‘missing votes,’” the ruling said. “Yet, Finchem lost the election he challenged by 120,208 votes. That margin was so significant that even if it were assumed that 80,000 votes were missing and that those votes would all have been cast in his favor, the result of the election would not have changed.” https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3886949-judge-sanctions-defeated-gop-arizona-candidate-over-groundless-election-claims/ Come on Titans, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) The chatter at the only decent CPAC afterparty? How lame this year’s CPAC really was. Steve Bannon was the host of the invite-only party held Saturday night at an overcrowded pub in National Harbor. Bannon, who dubbed the party the first annual “Warrior’s Ball,” insisted that despite the lackluster conference, the GOP and its right flank were still strong — and pointed to his two special guests in the room as proof: “Look at what our movement is made of. Kari Lake and James O’Keefe! Is there any political movement in this country as strong as this, with warriors like this?” Warriors like a failed gubernatorial candidate who won’t admit she lost and a media provocateur who was effectively ousted by his own board? Vish Burra, who worked for Bannon’s “War Room” podcast and is now an aide to another lightning rod, Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), once told me about the MAGA movement, “We don’t have an ideology, we have vibes.”… https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/03/06/cpac-vibes-trump-00085568 Edited March 7, 2023 by begooode MadMax, and IsntLifeFunny 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscotitansfan Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Wisconsin republicans say they will block meningitis vaccination bills that come their way and one of the Committee chairman said "Honest to God, when I see you I refer to you as Wisconsin’s Dr. Fauci." It truly is unbelievable how people can be so dense and regurgitate the same nonsense when they have an actual position of power that affects real lives.

Any time I see a headline or story that sounds as nuts as this, I look into it further to see if something is being left out. Reading the headline makes it sound like Huckabee has just signed off on forced child labor. This report says it doesn't change anything about state or federal child labor laws.....it only removes the need for an additional state permit.? https://www.arkansasbusiness.com/article/143551/child-labor-bill-heads-to-governor-opponents-say-it-risks-kids-safety-education "State and federal labor laws would still apply, they said, adding that if a company is going to violate the law, it will do so, work permit or not. Federal child labor laws do not require work permits." The Arkansas Division of Labor & Licensing “supports the bill and agrees that it is an arbitrary burden on parents to get permission from the government for their child to get a job,” Steven Guntharp, the Arkansas Labor Department’s chief of staff, said via email to Arkansas Business. “All child labor laws will still apply, and we expect businesses to comply just as they are required to do now.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This law will allow children under the age of 16 (14 &15) to be allowed to work without receiving governmental permission.

It just makes it easier to get around. "if a company is going to violate the law, it will do so, work permit or not" is the dumbest argument. it's a textbook case removing of regulations to gut a law w/o actually gutting the law.

nine Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 If Arkansas Republicans are doing this for the benefit of the children….then surely they’re just as passionate about repealing the state law that allows employers to pay students only 85% of minimum wage.
