What's happening in DeSantistan 2.0

The dream of owning a home is virtually gone, don't have money for emergencies and can't afford medication. Yet here we are ONCE AGAIN talking about transgenders and book bans. I hope that one day people will come to realize that it's all a distraction to keep us from focusing on the true things that most Americans feel are the real issues

 

Just one more corporate tax cut, and the American dream will be restored. For realz this time. We promise.

-A Republican, probably.

 

DeSantis next move: Going after Rick Scott's job.

You heard it here first.

 

No offense, but heard it elsewhere before. But you are definitely the first on this board!

 

Years ago when I was a young un maybe 8th grade I had the pleasure of coming across book called “Six Days of the Condor”. Later became the movie 3 Days of the Condor (don’t know what happened to the other days but I digress). Now I don’t remember a single thing from that book except for one passage a sex scene. To this day I remember that line “She came to him before midnight her hair still wet from the shower. We moved slowly as first time lovers often do”. Also something pertinent about breasts. I read that page over and over again in 8th grade

It’s a good thing Viagra didn’t exist because I might have called a doctor about my 4 hour boner.

Why would anyone want to take that pleasure away from a young ute of any sexuality?

 

Hoping the jax mayor throws her hat in on that

 

One DemoncRAT has already jumped in. Got an email from her today

Sen. Rick Scott picks up a Democratic challenger for 2024

 

It’s not stupid. It is designed to embolden the extreme right to object and Ban books. Generally, the left doesn’t push banning books because it is a non-liberal idea.

 

Right. Amendments that require fair representation of monitories are inconsistent with the 14Th Amendment and VRA, But the legislature and Governor drawing lines to cut out minority representation is consistent with those laws. Let’s watch what the Florida courts do. This will ends up in SCOTUS.

 

The Sun-Sentinel reported today that Broward County is suffering from a dramatic drop in tourism. Conventions that previously came to Broward County are re-routing to places like New Orleans. The cause is explicit and clear - the Conventions don’t want to come and support a State whose policies favor anti-racial and bigoted views such as rewriting history and silencing gays, amongst many, many other travesties.

According to Broward County, 10% of its population are employed in the tourism trade, and jobs will be impacted.

In perhaps the most ironic follow-up, Broward County had purchased (I think at a cost of $750,000) a float to participate in the California ROSE BOWL PARADE to promote tourism.

 

You misspelled monasteries.

I missed that one. He is supposedly working on gerrymandering State Attorney districts, no longer tying them to judicial districts

 

A Congressman from Santa Rosa County filed a bill that would prevent concert venues from canceling the 'less government' tour of his cover band.

Florida Republican files bill that bans venues from canceling shows over political views, social media posts

 

Socal is an interesting place to pitch Florida tourism. Maybe someplace cold and snowy, like the northeast or midwest? just sayin.....

 

A throwback to the Florida leadership I knew and loved
