    This election nonsense by Trump may end up splitting up the Republican Party. I just don’t see how the one third (?) who are principled conservatives can stay in the same party with Trump sycophants who are willing to sign onto the TX Supreme Court case.

    We also saw the alt right types chanting “destroy the GOP” in Washington today because they didn’t keep Trump in power. I think the Q types will also hold the same ill will toward the traditional Republican Party. In fact its quite possible that all the voters who are really in a Trump personality cult will also blame the GOP for his loss. It’s only a matter of time IMO before Trump himself gets around to blaming the GOP.

    There is some discussion of this on Twitter. What do you all think?



     
    MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Fourteen-year-olds in Wisconsin could serve alcohol to seated customers in bars and restaurants under a bill circulated for cosponsors Monday by a pair of Republican state lawmakers.

    Under current law, only workers age 18 and above can serve alcohol to customers in Wisconsin. The bill would broaden that to workers ages 14 to 17. They could only serve to seated customers, not drinkers who are at the bar itself.

    The current age limit on serving alcohol “causes workforce issues due to an establishment’s underage employees only being able to do part of their job,” the bill sponsors Sen. Rob Stafsholt, of New Richmond, and Rep. Chanz Green, of Grandview, said in a memo circulated Monday seeking cosponsors.

    They said their idea “creates a simple solution” to the state’s workforce shortage problems in the food and beverage industry. The bill requires the licensed operator of the bar or restaurant be on the premises and supervising……

    ……Ms Greene went on to question why citizens are paying taxes allocated toward climate change when the funding will not help. She used the lack of taxes paid during the ice age as an example.

    “Peole are not affecting climate change,” Ms Greene began. “You’re going to tell me that back in the ice age – how much taxes did people pay? And how many changes did governments make to melt the ice?”

    It is unclear what ice age time period Ms Greene was referring to. (it is unclear what the fork Ms Greene was talking about)

    The last ice age to occur was around 18,000 to 11,000 years ago, according to History.com……

    I don't know that I've ever seen a politician come to heel as abruptly and dramatically as Graham did circa 2016. Easy to let the imagination wander on why that might be, but remarkable, whatever the reasons. Mostly I accept it's self-serving and he loves the relevance and importance, but it wouldn't be shocking if there was a thick folder of icky Graham kompromat out there. Cruz, too, but when has he ever not seemed like a slimeball? There was a time when Graham seemed somewhat reasoned and respectable, then Trump happened.

    I’ve always heard that the real change happened with Graham when John McCain passed, that McCain was his moral compass and Lindsey was lost without him

    Don’t know how much truth there is in that, but I’d heard some version of that multiple times
     
    The best description I ever saw, and this was from someone who knows Graham but I cannot remember who it was, is this:

    ‘’Graham is like a pilot fish swimming around a shark. When McCain was his shark, he seemed honorable and reasonable. But now Trump is his shark, and he just picks up all the bad traits just as easily as he picked up McCain’s good traits”

    I’m sure this will be legal soon enough
    =============================
    Three McDonald’s franchisees in Kentucky have been fined after an investigation by the Department of Labor determined that they employed more than 300 children who worked longer hours than the law permits, among other violations.

    One franchisee had two 10-year-olds working at its locations, without pay, as late as 2 a.m., with one operating a deep fryer, a task forbidden by children under 16, according to the Labor Department.


    Bauer Food, which operates 10 locations in Louisville, was fined nearly $40,000 for violations including employing the 10-year-olds, who “prepared and distributed food orders, cleaned the store, worked at the drive-thru window and operated a register,” according to the department.

    “Under no circumstances should there ever be a 10-year-old child working in a fast-food kitchen around hot grills, ovens and deep fryers,” said wage and hour division district director Karen Garnett-Civils in a news release………

    "No circumstance" she says. No. The circumstances are if the company has a spare $40k.
    A $40,000 fine is an insult to slaps on the wrist.
