A GOP lawmaker has a novel idea for how a border wall with Mexico should be funded: Force every Arizonan who wants to access pornographic material on an electronic device to pay $20.

Republican Rep. Gail Griffin, R-Hereford, has introduced House Bill 2444, which would make “distributors” of devices that allow access to the internet install software to make the offending material not viewable. To remove the blocking software, a person would have to pay the state $20.

Those distributors, which include both manufacturers and retailers, would also be able to impose their own fees for removing the blocker.

That's my state ladies and gentlemen.

What's to prevent people from buying devices from out of state? Or hacking the program?

How are they going to make someone pay 20 bucks to look at porn online?

Well I can see the VPN industry getting a boost but that’s about it, still won’t fund the wall though.

What's the rate if you actually have sex with a porn star? $130k?

I get the impression that Gail was duped into sponsoring this thing. Besides, maybe they don't even have internet in Hereford and she has no idea what she's talking about.

Griffin doesn't really know how computers and the internet operate, does she?

Double if it's in arizona.

Seems to be a common trait among law makers these days.

It's a series of tubes! Tubes I back my truck up to and dump stuff into them.

She's either:

1. A very avid porn-watcher; or
2. She just busted her husband binging

No...that's just the going blackmail rate for just allowing the skank to show up at a charity event at your golf course, and letting her take a photo with you.

H.I.larious!

For that offense the puritans would have you build two walls while wearing a chastity belt.

and don't forget that he had unprotected sex with her with his little mushroom while his wife was taking care of the kid.

LOL, why is it always right-wingers who come up with these self-righteous ideas?

Don't these wingnuts know that red states consistently rank highest in porn viewership, as compared to blue states? In fact, in general, the redder the state, the higher the porn traffic...and vice versa.

Most Sinful States

Check each of the "7 deadly sin" categories...i.e. Lust (defined as porn viewership), Anger/Hate, Vices, Greed, Vanity, Laziness and Jealousy... and notice that red states rank at the top of certain categories (i.e. Lust....and Anger/Hate). Blue states rank higher in other categories (i.e. vanity). No surprises, there.

My state ranks 49th out of 50 on the lust scale. Damn. But the good news is we are the 6th greediest, so there is hope for New Hampshire yet.

What does it have to do with "self righteous"? It's a service tax. I thought you LOVED that...

And don't forget you keep making up unsubstantiated bull****.

Got a blue dress? Didn't think so.


The blackmailing skank BJ Queen was never in Trump's league, ON HER BEST DAY...it's not like he's BILL CLINTON, for Pete's sake; Trump has been smothered with willing FAR MOR BEAUTIFUL women than the BJ Queen his entire life.

I'm guessing that she showers with her clothes on....

A lot of free porn on the net. How can something with no cost be taxed?

She's proposing a software block of some form, which porn users would have to pay to have removed.

As if that wouldn't get hacked in about a half an hour...or people wouldn't buy/order devices from out of state.

Not very well thought out tax attempt, but I did not see ANY MENTION of the "MORALITY" claims of the OP in the proposition....

Seems like an illegal tax. What does porn have to do with border security?

She proposes spending the $$ on a wall for Arizona.

I doubt this would pass Constitutional muster, on a 1st Amendment basis, even if passed.
