    A cinematic masterpiece. I hated to see it included in that pollution of a political ad.

    Can’t believe anything anymore even when you see it and hear it with your own eyes and ears. I was fooled by the initial video and apparently I was fooled by AI. After watching the first (altered) video, be sure to click on the link to the actual video. It’s a confusing world out there.

    Well this is just great. As DeStatan’s political career spirals in to the void we’re stuck with him till 2027. As the mockery gets worse this jerk will plumb new depths of depravity and it’s going to hurt all of us.

    One glimmer of hope I think he’s a closeted gay man (NTTAWWT). With any luck we’ll find him in bed with a drag queen and we’ll be rid of this troublesome beast.

    Don't trust anything coming from Rebekah Jones. It's a good rule of the thumb.

    from the article...

    “It must seem so unfair to the governor. After all, he could have hardly been any meaner to transgender children or immigrant workers or Black voters. He even signed a flurry of death warrants, knowing how the Republican base loves executions.”

    “Heaven help us. He’ll be governor until Jan. 5, 2027, and there’s no chance that an angry, humiliated Ron DeSantis will moderate his venomous ways.”

    Will he run for the US Senate after that? If there’s not an open seat, he will have the Florida legislature create one.

    Centralization of decision rights sounds a lot like communism

    Experts panic over Florida tourism as major conventions flee state's 'unfriendly political environment' (msn.com)

    Convention organizers are pulling out of Florida, which is devastating knock-on tourism and causing panic over the future of the industry, experts warned in a report Friday.

    When asked for a reason why they were scrapping plans, one organizer wrote simply: “Governor DeSantis.”

    More than half a dozen planned conventions in Broward County, which encompasses the Fort Lauderdale area, have been scrapped in recent months, according to a list drawn up by the county’s tourism promotion group Visit Lauderdale and reported by the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

    “We lost this program due to political climate,” Visit Lauderdale notes on a decision by the Supreme Council of America Inc., Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite Masons to cancel its meeting, planned for August next year. It also canceled 855 hotel rooms

    Jeez, I wish I knew the President of Mexico was capable of that back before November 2022.
