Yeah, and pretty soon it will be running down DeSatan’s face, clothes, and all the way to his pretty white booties. What an a-hole!

They’ll still be making plenty of cash, so the response would probably be, “Sure, go ahead.”
I’m no constitutional scholar but I think that just might be a tad bit unconstitutional. Republicans in Floridah have gone batshit crazy in that state. They also want to legislate a ban that gets rid of the Democratic party in their state. Just Bonkers.

In case anyone has not noticed, DeSantis is in a competition with other Republicans, especially Greg Abbott, in a race to the bottom. I am somewhat surprised we have heard nothing from South Dakota.
But several Republicans are in desperate competition of media attention by being pricks. In fact they are competing with each other for prick of the day.
Today it seems to be DeSantis. Yesterday it was clearly Abbott. Nikki Haley and Mike Pence are trying everything to find a breakthrough issue to claim their day as the biggest prick in the nation. Chris Christie gets an award for trying. Ron Johnson and Rick Scott also work hard to win prick of the day but so far have only had marginal success. House Republicans like Matt Gaetz and MTG are to small time.
Meanwhile, there is always Donald Trump who they are all trying to compete with by emulating. That is Trump won the GOP nomination in 2016 by being the worst person in the GOP race and they are all using his example.
The Republican debates are going to be really nauseating.
But where is Ted Cruz?

Doesn’t matter. It’s all performative. The reality gets far less press than the show. I just read that his hire 5,000 veterans to teach in schools has results in 7 new teachers. His supposed voting task force netted one probation.

Florida does well because of a couple of factors:
It has 700 miles of beaches and year round summery weather.
Miami is the financial capital of Latin America, and benefits from political or economic instability throughout the Americas.
So far, no politician has been able to significantly screw those things up.

The sloppiness with which this is written (they don’t even specify that “elected officials” means Florida’s elected officials) suggests they don’t expect it to actually become law.

He may be soft but he is scary. Damn near everyone underestimated the orange shit in 2016.

@srfromgr has been mostly missing for a while. Grand Rapids gets lots of lake effect snow so I’ve assumed he’s been shoveling.
ETA. Great to have him back.

I haven’t seen her in a couple years.
…which ain’t all that great, and not getting better. The winters can be GLORIOUS, but you are not guaranteed one on the reg (I remember a couple Christmases wearing shorts and running the AC), and the other 9-10 months of the year are incredibly hot and insanely humid.
Seriously, the weather was so ferocious that it could take hours to fully dry off after a shower. A walk to your car would be enough to make your deodorant fail. The air was so dense that small snakes floated (h/t Dave Barry)
Plus, Florida has flying cockroaches.
Why anyone who doesn’t flourish in this awful weather (and there are some!) moves down there voluntarily is beyond me–and I LIKE FLORIDA!

Exactly! It’s all predicated on the fact that few people pay attention to the follow-up.
