He hasn't been seen publicly since Dec. 17. Maybe he's dead? Where Is Ron DeSantis? Photos Fuel Speculation About Whereabouts of Florida Governor I hope he croaks.

I'm sure this was discussed elsewhere, but is kind of noteworthy standalone. Florida governor Ron DeSantis thinks it would be the bees knees if he could directly command a branch of the military comprised of private citizens that would not be under Pentagon control. Just Ronny-Ron. What could...

like we had with Obama...gotta get rid of the Old Blood. Ronald Dion DeSantis (born September 14, 1978) is an American politician and attorney serving as the 46th governor of Florida since 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he represented Florida's 6th congressional district in the United...

Politico: DeSantis asks protesters to stay out of Florida roads in reversal on anti-riot law I think he's created trouble for defending the new Florida law in court--despite hastily backing away from selective enforcement, he demonstrated how easy it is for selective enforcement to occur.

Looks like the House's best Ace Ventura look alike might be leaving to take a job at Newsmax. Which would be great because he's a complete and total dumbass, and he'll fit in perfectly at Newsmax. I also think the GOP might start to believe they aren't going to win the House back. I've heard a...

The Florida governor has authorized checkpoints on travelers attempting to enter the state from Louisiana. Such travelers will have to self quarantine for 2 weeks. It’s getting stranger here. So far my county has no known positives...

https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1146143587811258370 Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson (FL) says that people who are “making fun of members of Congress” online “should be prosecuted” It's nice that, in this time of political division in the US, that we can all be joined together in our...

OMF-FSM... it's finally happened; the religious right's stupid tactics have finally backfired upon them in the most deliciously ironic manner possible. I've been waiting for this day for a long time: Linky :) The Christian fundamentalists are going to be pissed. I wonder if the Westboro...

Here in Florida, there's a civil war going on within the GOP. Former Florida GOP Chair Jim Greer is claiming his party was seeking how to suppress the black vote. He's the same one that claimed Charlie Christ is tried to kiss him, my former governor. Also he's under investigation for facing...

Tea Party Hates Manatees, Says Protecting Them Is "Against the Bible" The only thing missing is a comment from a local man.

Due to this poorly worded piece of legislation sex will be illegal in the state of Florida after 01OCT2011. So if you’re living in Florida on the first of October and would like to have sexual intercourse with another human, please consult a vet or livestock breeder first to make sure you...

Nmn0mFV7xFs "We don't care that you want to change the voting electorate so that you can stay in charge. We don't care if you want to kow-tow up to the corporations and the businessmen so that you can have cheap labor. This is about putting Americans first, not any special interest, not the...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101029/ap_on_el_se/us_florida_senate_clinton_17 "MIAMI – Democratic Rep. Kendrick Meek said Friday it was his independent opponent — not former President Bill Clinton — who suggested that he drop out of the Florida Senate race. Denying published...

This thread is dedicated to discussing the sleaziest, most dishonest, and most unfair campaign ads of this election season. I'm especially interested in exploring the relative (dis)honesty of third party ads made possible by Citizens United, compared to ads by candidates and PACs, which have...

Rumors are that Charlie Crist will be coming out of the closet republican party to run for Florida Governor as an independent http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/28/AR2010042803254.html?hpid=moreheadlines

My state has passed ballot amendment 2 which reads: Never mind that there's already a state statute against it, and Florida adopted the DOMA, we had to go for this bigotry as well. As I told the guy violating the "No campaigning past this line" marker before I got him thrown out who was...

Robert Bowman, who appeared on the 9-11 Denial panel discussion in Los Angeles that was broadcast on C-Span, has won the Democrats' nomination for US Congress in Florida's 15th District. The good news is that the seat is unlikely to change hands; incumbent Republican Dave Weldon won reelection...

Crap. Crap. Crap.

John Mica was "elected" to the House of Representatives without receiving a single vote. And I do mean "elected" not appointed. In Florida when you run unopposed, you are "automatically reinstated in Washington." You name does not appear on the ballot. There is no opportunity for a write in...

Here's one from the "Unusual Stories" file, from WCCO-TV and the AP: Now, this question was not really on the test, and I would not expect an average person to know this. (The report says "The correct answer was 90 degrees, 53.1 degrees and 36.9 degrees." Actually, the correct answers are 90...
