Limbaugh’s Home County Defies DeSantis, Won’t Lower Flag In Shock Jock’s Honor | Talking Points Memo

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) wanted to make a big show of honoring the late, racist shock jock Rush Limbaugh after Limbaugh died last week at 70. By Wednesday, that plan had fallen to pieces as it became clear DeSantis’ subjects weren’t too thrilled about the idea.

I like how the agriculture commissioner used the term “bend over backwards” which is a subtle dig at Limbaugh. He used to constantly use the term “bend over and grab their ankles” when referring to some folks perceived to be soft or wimpy and caring in to opposition. Like much of his stick it was also a homophobic dig. Well played commissioner, I hope that she runs for governor.

She’s got the right stuff.

Mr. Governor is sorely lacking.

Jesus foresaw that:

The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness. And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Q says Rush is going to rise again, probably on March 4th, when Trump is inaugurated as the 19th president. And, if that date doesn’t work out, there will be others.
