The bad news is that Russia might buy Chinese drones.
The good news is they are flimsy and likely defective.

Most of that money went to the State Police, which is shitty.

Don't forget, they'll try to scrounge up some reason to try to impeach Biden, too.
That being said, article is about the PA State Legislature.

Reply to Louisiana's juvenile detention centers filled to capacity; state asking judges to let some out of jail by InflationOk300
Hm, this really brings back memories of the Kids for Cash scandal in good old PA...I know a few people whose futures were ruined by corrupt judges and for-profit facilities. One of them was on my soccer team, and testified at the trial.
There are better ways to get kids on the right path.

Not as rich as Oz, if I'd hazard a guess.

Dumb to focus on that can of worms, it really cheapens your whole argument.

This post is clickbait.
This guy deserves to go to jail, but a metal rod is very different from a bionic arm.

Reply to comment by HailHarski in An accurate debate summary from Tuesday night, despite reports stating otherwise by Edgeyville
Oh, I know it gets passed. Nowadays it's negotiated behind closed doors, though, not via swaying the rest of the Senate a la Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
I'm also curious how you can justify this statement from your previous comment...
>I hope Pennsylvania residents will cast their political views aside and utilize logic instead of feelings!
...with this one.
>The main leftist talking point for the slaughtering of fetuses
Saying people should use logic to vote and then immediately pivoting to an appeal to emotion seems contradictory to me.

Oh, but I am utilizing logic.
Despite his lack of eloquence, I am voting for the candidate whose ideas I agree with, not the smarmy and polished one.
And no, legislators do not debate ideas on the Senate Floor. You've watched too many movies and not enough CSPAN. Usually the opposing party will just sit there and doze off or doomscroll while the other party does its thing.

Reply to She Was Killed by the Police. Why Were Her Bones in a Museum? | Pennsylvania’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, by susinpgh
We're talking about a young child whose home was literally bombed by a Philly P.D. chopper, which caused a firestorm and destroyed entire city blocks..
This child has living, still-grieving mother, who never gave consent for her bones to be used as a teaching aide in an Ivy League School.
It's despicable.

I'd trust a medical expert on this one vice a month-old account on Reddit.
Also, your argument is similar to saying that Galileo and Stephen Hawking were somehow mentally deficient because they couldn't speak English properly.

I'd like to point out that Ted Cruz attended just 17 of 50 public Armed Services Committee hearings, despite being on the committee.
There's no guarantee that a fully abled representative will "do their job."
I'd rather vote for the candidate who best represents my views, with a proven track record, and who will likely actually do their job and represent their constituents.
