I ask you to look at the following two examples of trends that have been gaining support over the last few years.
Example #1
Example #2
Now, what do you think?  ------------------
"I did not have classified documents with that woman!"

My opinion is people under the age of 18 (some under the age of 60) are easy to manipulate.
They have not seen enough of the world to understand what is going on, they read what is fed to them on their phones, TV, the internet and in schools.
They are used to commit crimes, be it drug dealers or the government. Its all the same crime organization. Follow the money.

Example #1 - Okay, maybe...
Example #2 - Hard NO.
Jake: Anybody under that age of "dead" is easy to manipulate.

What I was trying to demonstrate is the absurdity, the contradiction, the hypocrisy, the logical disconnect that is pervasive in the belief system of a particular political group, which shall remain nameless because the name is a surefire trigger for some who would rather redirect and derail a thread than express an opinion on the subject matter.
The same group is pushing both trends. They believe that a 16-17 year old is too young to be responsible for his criminal actions, but is old enough to choose his leaders.
I believe that a 16 year old, particularly a 16 year old criminal, will vote for someone who relieves him of all responsibility.
Democrats know that promising relief from the responsibilities of life will make them the favorite candidate of children.

ACTION for National Service Act
February 9, 2022
Press Release from the office of John B. Larson, congressman (D) from Connecticut
Washington, D.C. - Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) and Senator Jack Reed (D-RI)introduced the America's Call to Improve Opportunities Now (ACTION) for National Service Act. This bill would enhance access to national and community service opportunities, lower student debt, create a more engaged citizenry, and address national priorities in education, infrastructure, health care, disaster relief, and poverty.
"I am proud to introduce ACTION for National Service today with Senator Reed to honor President Kennedy's vision and renew our commitment to national service. President Kennedy famously said: ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.' As we continue to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, this has never rung truer. The will to serve is there, but due to lack of sufficient funding, organizations must turn away applicants. Programs like AmeriCorps and SeniorCorps are vital to our communities. They give back by reducing high school delinquency through mentoring, increasing graduation rates with literacy programs, and responding to natural disasters when local authorities are in need. Our legislation also combats the harmful effects of climate change by creating a Civilian Climate Corps, allowing volunteers to help their communities face one of the biggest threats of our time. Just as important, ACTION for National Service will address the student debt crisis by increasing the education benefit participants receive for their service. We need to make higher education more affordable, and this is one opportunity to do so," said Rep. Larson.
"As Americans, we take inspiration from those who have answered the call to serve, whether in defense of our nation abroad or strengthening our communities at home. This bill will grow our capacity to enlist, equip, and empower young people to address pressing challenges and give back to our nation while they earn money toward their education. It will increase volunteerism and strengthen our nation," said Senator Reed.

This bill, which hasn't moved forwards since being referred in February of last year to the House subcommittee on Conservation and Forestry, was being "talked up" a few hours ago by none other than the estimable Richard Nathan "I have but one life Hale" Haass on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
