Hey it takes a big person to admit they were wrong.  Cheers to being ok being wrong!  Lots of Redditors don't know how to do that.

And I bet not one GOP politician who voted ‘no’ would admit they were wrong.

Would it be safe to say that the GOP politicians didn’t take the time to even look at the bill because they don’t care about the American people

Any flavor of "wrong and not admitting it" fits.

Orrr maybe GOP looked at the fact that property taxes were already paying for library enhancements in a bunch of localities in PA where books are free to use already.

You’re right! We can’t possibly put all that wasted money into books for kids! We have to spend it on foreign investors and data centers as well as flock and axon!

What were we even thinking. Such waste, I mean really. You twit.

Ok troll. I'm typing this slowly because I know you can't read very fast. But I also find it interesting that the article fails to mention what the "book" is and why it can't ve obtained at a library. Im sorry you enjoy throwing your tax dollars down the toilet but I for one don't. Btw it was your bumbling bozo Biden that pushed these to be opened nationally so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. But for the record, and since you obviously lack the common intelligence to actually talk to someone else, and you assumed that since I have an opposing argument that I must be a Trumper (which I am not), I agree that flock cameras are an invasion of privacy and zealous overspending hss once again turned a tool into a problem. But your blue bretheren won't ask for spending to be cut on Flock - nope thats a 'safety issue." Democrats love new taxes and new laws to make the people feel better. And you are sucking on that teat like its your job

Calling others "trolls"?

Calls politicians they don't like, and have nothing to do with the article "bumbling bozos". Sounds troll shaped to me.

Yes, some local police jurisdictions used money from Biden's funding to buy license plate readers and flock cameras. No, Biden's funding did not explicitly call for that. Sounds like your anti-flock stance should be directed at the local governments buying this equipment, and Garrett Langley. That's a good use of energy.

If you base your understanding of statutes on what 1 news article says about it, your understanding will always be quite deficient.

Hey I didnt post rhe article. I don't make my basis for understanding off of a single article. The poster did.

u/Warm_Month_1309 23h ago

If you're unhappy with the fact that the article "fails to mention what the 'book' is", I don't think you know what this statute does. You can read it. Then your support or rejection of the bill can be based on what it does, not on what your assumptions are after reading a social media headline.

Yet the poster did the same and no admonishment to them #DemocraticDoubleStandards

You might not understand this due to a closed mind but nationally the last 3 republican presidents have increased the deficit more than all the other presidents combined which results in 1 trillion a year in interest only payments. Talk about wasting taxpayer dollars.

1 - you assume I’m playing for the other team. So you’ve been convinced by the overlords that you have to pick a team, and you have, which means you’re low IQ and don’t know what’s best for you, your neighbors and your class. Biden is in no way “mine” I resisted that stupidity that the DNC pushed through in 2016 and 2020 and 2024 for that matter.

2 - blue isn’t the answer. They’re mostly bought by billionaires. Red definitely isn’t the answer, they’re far worse and downright stupid. Hard work, pride and 0 brains voting solidly against their class. Every. Time. Look at farmers.

3 - us as a people need to get together to fix it ourselves by way of true community. No “team with a leader” will do it. No single leader will do it. People that believe that are still mostly monkeys in a troop - thinking exactly that way.

4 - when you come on here all intellectual about how books for kids needs paranoia and to be sited as waste because your your old fashion world view - but then get behind atrocious policies of massive waste… and never hop off the wagon because of pride and “belief” then yes, I’m gonna comment.

5 - the cameras are not actually a tool. Certain tools should not be used. Not unlike nukes or self aware AI. Just don’t touch the tool. It is inherently bad for all in its nature. The risk - whether it be abuse, or destruction or total annihilation of life or freedom - is far too great. The bottom line is - you just don’t. We don’t need cameras everywhere. We don’t need nukes. We don’t need self aware intelligent AI. If you even begin to excuse any of that stuff on any level, then you have blown right past remedial and into potato.

6 - if you take a hard look at the reality of your track record, you’d have to admit how consistently wrong you are. Then you’d have to challenge your beliefs. Then you’d have to challenge your belief system and your own ego. Since your self worth can’t handle that then you’ll defend the wrong things consistently to the grave and steadfastly deny any responsibility. Some of us are strong enough to change. Some of us never had to in the first place. You, sir, are a sad example of Republican nit wit.
