"DeSantis kept insisting institutionalizing people would have prevented this tragedy."
I'll say it again, I do not understand how taking away ACTUAL liberty from a person having a mental health crisis is OK, but taking away their guns is not.
My favorite Mischief Night (as we called it) story is a true one.
When my girl cousin was about 14, she heard the bad boys talking about their plan to egg her house.
She went home and told her parents.
Her Dad, who was... a man of very definite opinions... got a dozen eggs and hid out in the bushes.
Sure enough, when the bad boys came around and threw the first couple of eggs, Uncle started throwing eggs back at them.
There was a moment of stunned silence, then miscellaneous exclamations along the lines of, "The FUCK???" "THEY'RE COMIN' BACK!!" "Let's gidaddahere!", and the bad boys fled into the night.
Talk about not having an original idea. Republicans have been screaming that any opposition to military operations we support is material support to the enemy since at least Vietnam.
DeSantis sounds like a smart man until you get down into the nitty-gritty. He can't answer simple questions, can't defend his policies because they're indefensible. And he has all the compassion of a scorpion that only knows how to sting things.
If these Palestinian-support groups really are providing material aid to Hamas, the State Department, FBI, etc. would be all over them. We don't need some go-go boots wearing Florida governor to stick his nose in it. Dude is not authorized to get involved in this shit.
Bobby Jindal, Scott Walker, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, and now, Ron DeSantis. The mainstream media has a weird way of crowning GOP politicians as rockstars before they have proven themselves only for said rockstar politicians to fizzle. DeSantis has do so spectacularly. He’s like watching a slow motion car crash.
This is one of the first times I've seen the POLITICIAN trying to linger on the point making him squirm while the REPORTER is trying to move on. Maybe that's his kink, but it's just weird.
Though, in actuality, it's because he can't stand someone, ESPECIALLY a woman (and a non-white woman at that), correcting him. I think that's why he got stuck on that spot. She kept repeating the fact and he kept trying to explain it away as HER being wrong, not him.
The worst part, I think, is that they -- those Confederate Republicans barking the supporting propaganda, I mean -- say these horrible things because they know they have an audience willing to swallow every word they say not just because they want to believe it, but also because they're dumb enough not to question it
That's how much contempt they have for their ... audience
Clarification on THE RULE? Would it transgress to suggest both sides send their best twisters to a break off in the shifting sand? Winner take nothing. (And nothing is with you).

I was going to "like" this one, but it's sitting at 69 so I didn't want to fuck with kismet (although a little friendly oral wouldn't hurt)...
"DeSantis just stated how much he is cool with an ethnic genocide."
`
Of fucking COURSE he is.
That squatty, neckless little thug would exterminate LGBTQ in a minute, if he could.

Jersey or PA? I remember Mischief Night!
Jersey, about a 20 minute bus ride from The City.

"I would support Israel's right to end this problem once and for all." Kind of what I like to call a Final Solution.
I would be very interested in a study of excess missing and dead pets in a ten block radius of DeSantis' childhood home.

Good god, does he know he looks like that? He has resting Change My Diaper face.

"Well, right, well, because you had COVID and all that stuff."
So, in Florida, the COVID virus packs heat?
he's just saying random things. talk about incoherent babble.

Leeky Bum? That's a fuckin' joke, right?
Read the other names out loud. That ought to answer your question.
Read out loud or watch this Simpson’s clip: https://youtu.be/9hA473P_ztM?si=a3GKNM1Nintodb4U
