M2 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 The most WTF of the WTF posts! Quote Arizona lawmaker wants to tax porn watchers to help pay for border wall TUCSON, Arizona (CBS/KOLD) -- Arizona State Senator Gail Griffin has proposed a bill that would tax anyone viewing porn on an electronic device in the state, reports CBS affiliate KOLD. The bill suggests using software to block pornographic websites until the user's age is confirmed and a fee of at least $20 is paid. Border security is ranked as the first program on the list to be funded by the porn tax and that could include a border wall. Those in violation, including anyone who deactivates the blocker, would face a misdemeanor charge... And she's a Republican! 😭

And she's a Republican! 😭 Obviously one of the stupidest ideas ever, but for a surprisingly large number of reasons. Obviously it's ridiculous on its face, and it's ridiculous to think that people won't figure out how to bypass it, but the math on it is crazy too. Arizona has a population of 6.4 million people. If we assume half are men and half are women, and we trust the stats thrown out at Church last Sunday (no shit, thanks Church) that 85% of men and 33% of women watch porn, that gives us a maximum of 3.8 million total viewers even if we include kids of all ages. Multiply that times the $20 mentioned and you're generating a maximum of $76 million. By suggesting that border security is "the first" of the causes to be funded by this, she's implying that it would pay for more that just that, which is crazy stupid. AZ represents almost exactly 20% of the total length of the US-Mexico border, meaning raising $76m for AZ would be roughly equivalent to raising $380m for border security for the entire country, which is 6.6% of what Trump is currently asking for to get started on his wall, and somewhere between 0.4-1.5% of its total estimated cost, depending on who you believe. Sit down, Gail.
nunya Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Except 69% of legislative proposals are not meant to actually become law. She makes her base smile when she taxes what they don't like and appears to fund what they do like. Whether it's proposing a 70% income tax or a $20 porn tax, they're running their mouth for election points, not serious proposals. 1 1

Republicans have long been the "Puritan" party. While I support their stated (and seldom executed) goals of strong military, removing shackles on business, and smaller government... It's a constant source of frustration that the GOP feels the need to regulate the moral behavior of the population. 1 1

At least two more USAF pilots that have lost command's "confidence in their ability to lead and command". Strongly worded letter and non-judicial punishment to follow........... the only problem is they're probably both out making a quarter-mil a year flying for an airline. Fuck off fun police.....just fuck off.

bfargin Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 "I'm going to ask you for the fifth time to stop calling me a man, because quite clearly I am not." Well actually it's not clear at all dude.
Prozac Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Instead of sir or ma’am, how about “batshit crazy motherfucker”? Direct, to the point, and totally gender neutral. I really don’t think this gu....ahem.....individual could argue with that description.

While both of these guys sound like total pieces of shit, once retired you should no longer be subject to the UCMJ. I almost wish McRaven would get brought up on Article 88 charges just to get a lower court (or better yet the Supreme Court) to set a precedent that one should not be subject to the UCMJ post retirement.

I take issue with the fact that the UCMJ criminalizes some behaviors that would not be illegal otherwise. Should we prosecute retirees for medical marijuana usage? It’s against the UCMJ.

ThreeHoler Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 It’s also a federal Schedule 1 drug. It is still a federal crime to possess regardless of state laws. Should that change? Probably. But until it does...having a medical marijuana license still means you’re not allowed to have firearms and many other issues. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

HuggyU2 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Pawnman, a friend told me the FAA is mandating a fix to this. A modification will be made so that when the tanks go empty, it will really reduce the weight and allow the 777 to float higher. And the new jet fuel blend (50% Jet A, 50% helium) will also help... somehow.
