This is exactly why Biden simply needs to govern, grow by attraction and not worry so much about building bridges. Too many people are simply lost. You can’t reach someone who has departed reality.

.Today In: "Some very fine people":

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) is in hot water after he cursed out a group of teenage Senate pages in the Capitol rotunda early Thursday morning.

According to a transcript written by a page minutes after the incident and obtained by The Hill, Van Orden called the pages “jackasses” and “pieces of s‑‑‑,” and told them he didn’t “give a f‑‑‑ who you are.”

The pages are a group of 16- and 17-year-olds who assist Senate operations, and when the Senate works late — as it did Wednesday night on National Defense Authorization Act amendments — pages generally rest nearby in the rotunda.

“Wake the f‑‑‑ up you little s‑‑‑‑. … What the f‑‑‑ are you all doing? Get the f‑‑‑ out of here. You are defiling the space you [pieces of s‑‑‑],” Van Orden said, according to the account provided by the page.

“Who the f‑‑‑ are you?” Van Orden asked, to which one person said they were Senate pages. “I don’t give a f‑‑‑ who you are, get out.”

...This is not the first time Van Orden has flashed his temper. Van Orden reportedly threatened a 17-year-old library page in his home state over a gay pride display and demanded to know who set it up. The page in question had set the display up, and she told her parents she did not feel safe to return to the library for work.

GOP Senate candidate Hung Cao warns of 'witchcraft' happening in California: 'We can't let that happen in Virginia'

the Wiccans are coming!!!

the best, though, is:

“And I’m African-American because I grew up in Africa, too,” Cao (a Vietnamese refugee) interjected.

People on the right would be more upset if they saw who she is engaged to - and figure they should have shot their shot with her before he got to her.
I'm guessing the guy has $ because he's one ugly mofo.

It's such an embarrassment. "How dare Budweiser shit on their core customers." Gee, did you not feel adequately represented in the 500 million previous beer commercials that had regular old white people in them? How dare other people who aren't like us drink OUR beer!

Fucking morons. Everyday white Americans just lost their job because of you. Congrats.

Wouldn't it be better for the other beer company to make new hires?

Why are you ANTI EMPLOYMENT?

Do you want this to become some sort of NANNY STATE?

Randy needs to check his list of things that republicans who pretend to be libertarian pretend to care about.

14 year old kids serving booze, till what... 1am or later? On school nights? Randy approves.

Iowa has done something similar.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/26/politics ... index.html

The notion that allowing kids to serve alcohol will provide them with "valuable work experience" is absurd. I worked bars and restaurants for several years and there was no greater stage to see people at their absolute worst than serving them food and booze. If the goal is to scare them into going to college because they don't want to spend their life in that nightmare then yeah, I guess it's "valuable".

So long as the restaurants he wants to go to are open and serving him, he doesn't give a shit. He's made it very clear that his interests are his only concern.
