Awww… Linda the Bodega Cat!
Also, re: Florida GOP:
Well, y’all motherfuckers did this to yourselves fostering this sort of bullshit in Florida politics, and now it’s gonna come down to who has the bigger megaphone and can get the rabble roused to yell at the other douchebags more.
And news flash, legislators: that’s usually not people who aren’t elected by the whole state. You set these events in motion. Reap it.
Exactly. DeSantis is trying to make a name for himself with Trump’s “Hurt the right people” policies, but without the “He’s just like us but rich!” personality to go along with it.
I’m not calling him toast just yet, a lot can happen in a year. But it wouldn’t surprise me if DeSantis decides to sit out the primary and retire after his term as Governor, maybe start a business running for-profit prisons next to Disney World. It would be a better fit for his personality.
With his fight with Mickey Mouse, which for all kinds of reasons is a real mickey mouse thing to do, DeSantis is also showing himself unfit to be president of the United States. I mean Disney offered the slightest criticism and he responded by trying to stomp on a mouse with and elephant.
Talk about anti-democracy. I mean short of throwing Disney executives out of windows, this is how you would expect Vladimir Putin to respond. But even from a political perspective, if you are in a brawl with Mickey Mouse who is loved by everyone in the world, it is just really dumb politics.
In all kinds of ways, this shows DeSantis is unfit to be president.
Just in thinking about an 8 year run of the same party leadership makes me wonder if ruling by object du jour is really showing that they don’t have a 4 year, 6 year, or now 8 year plan?
When DeSantis ran for re-election was his platform to fight with Disney? Or ban books, or not allow teachers to say Gay?
"We’re not the party of cancel culture,” an anonymous GOP legislator told Politico. “We can’t keep doing this tit for tat.”
Pffffffffffffffffft. Speak up, use your name, use your vote, or shut up.
The governor has used the legislative session to usher through bills that could bolster a future presidential platform: Bills banning abortion after six weeks, letting people conceal-carry guns without a permit, and loosening death-penalty requirements have all passed in recent weeks.
Let’s expand that out a bit, shall we?
That’s quite the pro life agenda you’ve got there, bucko.
“On top of spagetti all covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door
It rolled in the garden and under a bush
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.”
And snacks and story time.
Drag queens aren’t included with the story time, but they should be a requirement.
You can just use a slight majority to create a super-majority through gerrymandering. Although, this being Florida, they’re fine with moving backwards as long as minorities are treated worse.
My cat, when he was a young guy, used to hang out on the counter of our neighborhood 7/11 store. Your image brings back memories of those days. He’s now a ‘stay at home’ 19 yr old kitty.
This reminds me when I was in Texas years ago for business while Dubya was running for Prez. Most of the Texans I encountered were rooting for Dubya to win the presidency so they could be rid of them. I still haven’t “thanked” those Texans for foisting Dubya onto the nation. Shrub did tons of damage and up until 2016, was, in my estimation, our worst president ever.
All DeSantis has accomplished is a ton of sadistic bullshit, using kids wearing masks, refugees, trans folks, drag queen storytellers, black history teachers and students, colleges, pregnant women, people not wanting to be shot, and the happiest place on earth as rungs on a ladder to nowhere.
Sounds a lot like Cruz and Hawley. Ivy League hubris.
If people are frustrated it’s probably because we had a ton of bills that the governor’s put forward that we in House and Senate leadership have put forward… There’s going to be a ton of other bills that are coming forward.”
Make this make sense. People are frustrated that we’ve put forth hundreds of bills so we’re going to put forward hundreds more? What?
Precisely. So blaming “Florida Dems” is irrelevant at best.

The mists of time part to reveal a gathering in the days before the first Reagan presidential campaign.
Bootsie Meatball is the go to.
Thanks.
Seems to me that DeSantis is trying mighty hard to cancel Mickey Mouse and friends.
TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report)—Facing backlash from Republican donors, Ron DeSantis has abruptly ended his feud with Disney and launched a scorched-earth campaign against the Smurfs.
Harland Dorrinson, DeSantis’s top political aide, called the Florida governor’s pivot to the Smurfs a “strategic masterstroke.”
“Ron has the anti-Smurf lane all to himself,” he said.
In a major policy speech, DeSantis accused the Smurfs of spreading a message of “blue supremacy” and vowed to ban the teaching of Smurf studies from his state’s schools.
“Florida is where Smurfs come to die,” he declared.
Hmm, if they are so fed up, why do they keep passing his bills?? Lame excuse.
