Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

I hadn’t seen these developments before the passage of the bill, but it really takes a big bite out of the argument that the bill is just about stopping sex talk amongst children:

These interpretations are wrong. The bill does not prohibit instruction on sex, sexualization, or “sex-stuff,” but rather expicitly targets “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” which are a separate set of concepts. This distinction is vital. For instance, there is nothing in the legislative text to prevent a teacher from describing to first graders the act of masturbation, human genitalia, or potentially even sexual intercourse. However, teachers might well be prohibited from reading a book about an LGBTQ+ character.

This is clearly the bill’s intent. How do we know? First, because its sponsors have told us so. Republican State Sen. Dennis Baxley, who sponsored the bill in the Florida senate, explicitly confirmed that HB 1557 was designed to keep assignments with details like “Sally has two moms or Johnny has two dads” out of the classroom. And second, because every time somebody offered alternative language, the bill’s supporters shot them down. For instance, one state senator proposed an amendment to replace the phrase “sexual orientation or gender identity” with “human sexuality or sexual activity.” Sen. Baxley rejected his proposal, explaining that such a change would “significantly gut” the bill’s intent.

Because the Bill doesn't need to specify it because us 'normal' people aren't trying to sexualize children.

I love that your side continues to push this though. This strategy is going to work out well for MAGA.

GA House and Senate are each in the process of reconciling the bill the other chamber passed for constitutional carry. It looks like this will finally happen, despite Speaker Ralston's decades long crusade to prevent it.

Seems fair to me. I've already got a few places in mind.
 
Mississippi produced Faulkner and B.B. King and Elvis.

Bama has no such redeeming distinctions.

Instead they gave us George Wallace.

Thank you. I already had added Elvis, one of the great cultural icons of the 20th century. Btw I've been to Graceland a couple times and enjoyed it. I was in Memphis during Elvis Week a few years ago. It was wild how many people were coming from remote corners of the world for Elvis Week.

I slightly retract my comments about Bama. Hank was from Mobile.

But no doubt there are many more Mississippians who have made great contributions than Bamians.

I wouldn't want to give away entire states, I was thinking of places that would be improved by a short term fascist dictatorship, and that would be a thorn in Vlad's side. Baltimore, DC, NYC, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Jacksonville, Philly, San Fran, LA. Places with lots of violent crime or soft government. Let them work things out with Russian stormtroopers for a decade or so and then take back what's left. I'm guessing crime will be lower and Vlad will have had more than he bargained for.
 
Ah yes, all the places with highly educated, highly paid, long-living populations that transfer large amounts of money (plus the fruits of their expertise in such matters as developing life-saving vaccines and other medical advances) each year to the more impoverished parts of the country.

Those are the ones responsible for the exploding crime stats in those cities?

Excellent multi-tasking ability.
 
Everything is fine in California....

This is the model the left has for the rest of the nation (taking away the beautiful natural scenery of course).
 
CA is just riding on the reputation of the people that built the state for the past 50 years.

Once progressives got control they destroyed it and its getting worse every day.

At least the subway bomber isnt being labeled a domestic terrorist.

If the suspect were white, I’m not so sure.

Crime up 40% in NY over last year already.
