    Always love how republicans and conservatives are constantly so preoccupied with sex, sex, sex all the time and in ever more imaginative and obscure ways.

    I now associate their religious beliefs to sex, Jesus, sex, guns, sex, the American flag and sex.

      So surprisingly a couple things have actually happened. Renewables are still showing explosive growth, it helped stave off as many rolling blackouts this summer. Also, they finally agreed to tie into the national grid.

      Now, did they actually winterize and help prevent what happened a few years ago? Who knows, we haven’t been told shit so probably not.

          Knowing them, it was probably just cheaper to tie in vs fixing anything. Also our explosive population growth would have made boosting our infrastructure almost impoosible…oh wait I meant cost them too much money.

    “Compromises the innocence of children”???

    Unless you are incredibly liberal parents, children don’t even know what the fuck those are until they’re old enough to recognize it as anything more than just a “tube”. By the time they grasp the idea that it’s something sexual, they’re old enough to handle that knowledge.

    “smaller government” apparently just means few dildos for the inspector to have to count.

    If they can outlaw a specific store from selling something, they can outlaw any store from selling anything. This isn’t just about sex toys, it’s a test to see what they can get away with.
