So many FG lawyers. So little time (in jail).
Disbarment is simply not enough.

Climate change Hurricanes, nope no way
Climate change could virtually disappear in Florida — at least according to state law (msn.com)
Florida, perhaps the most vulnerable state to sea-level rise and extreme weather, is on the verge of repealing what’s left of a 16-year-old law that lists climate change as a priority when making energy policy decisions. Instead, the state would make energy affordability and availability its main focus.
A bill waiting to be signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis would strip the term “climate change” from much of state law and reverse a policy then-Gov. Charlie Crist championed as he built a reputation for being a rare Republican fighting to promote green energy over fossil fuels.
While Florida is distinct for having an enormous coastline and being flat — Miami’s average elevation is roughly 6 to 7 feet (2 meters) above sea level — the chairman of House Infrastructure Strategies Committee said it also has unique challenges and the climate change language in law makes meeting them more difficult.
HAHAHA Good luck with that
“We’re protecting consumers, we’re protecting consumer pricing, we’re protecting them with great reliability and we’re protecting to make sure we don’t have a lack of energy security in our state. That’s where we’re moving as far as our policies,” said Republican Rep. Bobby Payne

Yepper. I was disappointed, again, to discover that today’s headline was simply hyperbole; no one has set Jeff Clark on fire.

it is exceedingly difficult for me to have any empathy for Jeff Clark and others of his ilk.
They tried to destroy our government, they tried to steal an election, and they put a criminal, grifting, coward ahead of their oaths to office and to the constitution.
May they all fester and suffer in a dank, dark, rodent-infested, windowless, concrete block-walled, 4x8 cell for years. starting with that monster, trumpenstein.

I’m sure DeStoopid and the rest of the Floriduh GQP will be pounding the table with outstretched hands, demanding those sweet FEMA dollars after the next hurricane, though! [facepalm]
And these clowns claim to be “the party of individual responsibility”…

With respect to the Time interview with Trump, I’m making my way through the transcripts. It’s a way worse impression than you might get by just reading the article. I just picked a sample from the last paragraph I read. It’s by no means the worse and it might be less deranged than other sections.
Because it really does work, you know, walls work. Walls and wheels. I would say, you know, a lot of, see what you have here, your tape recorder, everything else is going to be obsolete in about six months. You’ll have something that’s much better. But the two things that are never obsolete are walls and wheels.
Walls and wheels, baby.

I remember when a sitting US President nationalized a state’s National Guard to enforce Federal anti-discrimination laws.
Abbot and most of his Administration should be in chains.
