If it's any consolation, nobody is going to want to remember the life of Ron DeSantis once he's gone. Or at least that will be the case in the weeks after the widespread celebrations of his demise.

So.....lemme get this straight (NPI) A rainbow crosswalk as a tribute to over a hundred people murdered and wounded is a "Political Stunt", but "Alligator Auschwitz" isn't??

Breaking news: Gay people exist and matter. More at eleven.

Also, the right wing is a soulless sucking leech of hate and wasted money. Whoa if true!

Ron DeSantis......responded to the desecration on X, posting, “We will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for ANYONE'S political purposes BUT OUR OWN.”

Fixed it.

Commemorating the victims of a massacre is ‘political’, but naming a street after a right-wing talk show host is not?

I don’t think I ever wished anyone dead before this regime (not even during the Bush-Cheney years). Now it is practically a daily occurrence, and it’s not because I want vengeance or retribution against these demented, degenerate assholes.

It’s because their actions and policies are causing needless death and the destruction of the lives of people I care about and I want it to stop.

Let's just be clear - these people are soulless assholes.

And "... shoving their sexual preferences down our throats.” makes me think that they visit glory holes more often than they are willing to admit.

Ta, Robyn. Let us always remember and never forget that Jeffrey Epstein's bestie held that fucking Bible UPSIDE DOWN for the photo op in front of the church.

And petty Boots DeathSentence can go fuck himself, with or without votes.

Apparently he didn't actually. But he DID pose in front of the wrong building - instead of posing in front of the church itself, he posed in front of the rectory.

LGBTQ is shoving their sexual preferences down peoples' throats?

I thought they crammed them down peoples' throats.

Am I behind the times again?

They weirdly talk a lot about things getting shoved down their throats, don't they?

Most of the victims were actually killed by medium and heavy (.30 cal & .50 cal) machine gun fire from the Disney trained Orlando PD. They shot hundreds of rounds through the back wall to breach it and that's where the victims were huddling. The shooter's gun was capable of being used with 3 kinds of ammo (.223, 7.62x39, or .300 AAC Blackout, all carbine ammo) yet the calibers of the bullets found in the bodies is still embargoed info. The caliber of the rounds in his magazines and the caliber of his barrel is also still embargoed. This is a huge cover-up by the Orlando PD.

Conservatism reminds me of Talking Heads' song about heaven. "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens." Who wants to spend Eternity doing the same thing every day. But that's the MAGA mind-frame. No chance, no differences, everything the same,

What has this insulting response to a decent memorial have to do with the Epstein Files, Governor White Boots? Trump hates your fucking guts. You have NO shot at the Presidency. You should be clamoring for the Epstein Files because it will distract from your own failures and scandals. OH! Wait a minute! Is DeSantis in posession of knowledge pertaining to the Epstein Files? So much of this happened in FLA. Hmmm...

"people whining about how they shouldn’t ever have to see rainbows"

So when these people go outside when the sun is shining on a patch of rain, do they conclude that God Himself has "gone woke"?

His Son is basically blasphemy in MAGA and evangelical circles at this point. They couldn't reject what he taught more fully without hanging him on the cross all over again.

Yes, we wouldn't want anything to have "political purposes" - unless it honors Dump or MAGA. DeSantis is incredibly petty.
