    Mighty high and mighty of you to take this approach. We have our first black woman on the SCOTUS even after she lied to congress about not knowing what was being taught in a school where she is an active board member who had to sign off on said CRT and sex/gender topics and then followed up lying by refusing to define what she thinks is a woman by a smirky answer that she isn't a biologist. She lied under oath and she isn't smart, just a smartass, but she is the most far left person to ever sit on the SCOTUS.

    Neither thing you mentioned is an actual lie. And something tells me what you're calling "CRT" isn't actually critical race theory. It's kind of like how right-wingers label anything they don't like "socialism."

    I'm not sure exactly what you guys are talking about bur I would love to hear the legal definition of "Is not an actual lie". Sounds like some fishy way of skirting the truth to me.

    "Define a woman."
    "No. I'm a judge, not a sociologist."
    That's not a lie.

    "What about this book a school you're on the board for uses?"
    "As a board member, I don't control the curriculum or what they teach."
    That's also not a lie.

    Oh bullcrap. What a joke. This guy has reasons to despise DeSantis. He's a disaster for education in FL. If elected, he would become extremely dangerous to public education in the U.S. His policies create strife for educators in P12 and higher education. How many times has he belittled teachers and professors? How many faculty participated in the higher ed "indoctrination" survey? "Stop woke" "Don't say gay" and on and on and on. I can't even remember all the horrible legislation he's tried to pass, all to appease Republican voters like you.
    He's divisive. He's rude. He panders to the ignorant and those filled with hatred, esp. against LGBTQ populace and the community of educators.

    P.S. Like many on here, I'm a former con. Certainly don't "hate any con." That's a load.

    You voted for him. Even after the "grab her" comments. Even after walking into a teen pageant dressing room with partially nude teens. After extra-marital relations with a pornstar. You voted for him.

    While I’ll agree that Desantis is pretty bad and he’s most certainly taken a page from Trump’s playbook with the vindictiveness, he’s still a million times better than Trump. Tilly has a very valid point. Trump transcends space time with his level of awful. As much as I might not like Desantis, he’s capable of behaving like an adult.

    Ehh, if you must say so. Being less horrible than Trump is not much of an endorsement. Trump, btw, was not a consideration of mine in the post you quoted.

    I’m not endorsing Desantis. But I do think it’s important to put some separation between normal human beings and the anti-Christ. I’m just saying Tilly is right when he says Desantis is nowhere near Trump. He’s not. Nobody is. Trump is uniquely terrible.

    Maybe not a lie but if you cannot define a woman you are not fit to be on the highest court much less a a local court. It's not a hard question.

    I'm not sure how behaving like an "adult" is an upgrade when his "adult" behavior is just as abhorrent.

    Define a woman, T.J. Your definition better not have any exceptions.

    The same people who are telling you that DeSantis is a Trump-esque figure were also warning you that Trump was a terrible choice for president back in 2016. You have since admitted that Trump was indeed a terrible choice...so shouldn't you be listening to those folks when they warn you that DeSantis is Trump-esque?

    Should have stopped at the bolded. What I said is the truth and not a lie.

    These topics along with the DOJ targeting concerned parents is what got Youngkin elected in Virginia.

    These topics are no longer allowed in Florida schools of which I am very glad as I have a new kindergartner in the family. Good job Governor DeSantis.

    LOL! There is only male and female. All of the rest is personal choice that does not change the biological facts.

    Lol. No. Because those same people were telling me the same thing about every non liberal in history.

    I dont get my advice from the party of AOC, Bernie and the puppet masters on Pennsylvania Ave currently.

    I mean this is what you guys want. "Just do what we say. Your side is a bunch of (insert bully name), follow us. We're pRoGrESsIvE"

    The biological facts are that there are a whole host of possibilities between male and female. Whether we determine biological sex by external genitalia, internal genitalia, chromosomes, or hormones, not only are there variations within each of these biological measures, they don't always align with each other.

    It seems telling that your rebuttal is based on the fringe Democrat "stars : AOC, Bernie etc, not the Party platform . Of course there simply is no party platform for the Cons because it's long been a personality cult with whichever thuggish fringe Con has the microphone: Hawley, Ron Johnson, Cruz, DeSantis, etc. Simply put, our Democracy is endangered by those guys.
