That's how it was when I was a kid. When one kid got chickenpox, we all got chickenpox. The week I got sick I was in 2nd grade and I missed the Valentines Day party AND a field trip. I was covered with spots begging my mom to let me go to school.
<As of the most recent data, the state has had only 145 cases this year.>
"Only". When "only" is used in conjunction with a number like 145, it works well as in "The hall holds 300 but only 145 showed up." In this case, that is 145 individual people who suffered a terrible disease which was eminently preventable. 145 cases of misery.
Obligatory OT: I have a hard time differentialanting ( is that a word? comes back clean from spellcheck ) between the correspondent's brewhaha and the heros of Jan 6th.
Any word what Ron "Puddin Fingers" DeSantis plans to destroy after Florida? It amazes me that people voted for that bag of unsalted rancid rat dicks twice.
Thankfully, Perez's wife is giving him some real information and facts regarding vaccines, so while he is still a Republican at least he isn't as stupid as Yarborough, who must be a HeeHaw Republican from northern Florida.
Jeffries has this thing where he thinks he's on the set of West Wing, where political arguments happen, both sides present their case and whoever presents it better wins elections. That's just not the case right now and it hasn't been for years, and if he can't recognize that then he needs to get out of the way of the people who do.
We were just watching that show and the consternation over Toby's financial disclosure where he had a big stock gain after a speech he wrote (or something like that) was quaint. Like, worrying that he would get fired and that some thought that would be fine and the correct thing to do.
He needs to be primaried. Not only does Tangerini needs to be impeached, so does every member of his cabinet. If the Democrats take over they need to take back all the money that Orange Foolius, his family, his minions, and his friends have stolen from the U.S. taxpayers. They also need to tighten up the U.S. Constitution, so that we will never have a felon take office and get rid of or weaken the guardrails that we have to protect our government. No forgiveness or reconciliation with the Republicans. We must destroy the current Republican party.
This fuckin' guy is done as FL governor in January. Does he think he's going to duke it out with Vance and Rubio for the '28 nomination? Spare us please. As Tim Walz said about Assface and Noem, "You've done enough."
OT: On this day, 27 April, 1945, Benito Mussolini was arrested by Italian partisans while trying to flee to Germany. He would be shot the next day. On the 29th he was "hung upside down from the roof of a service station and stoned from below by civilians."
Allegedly, Hitler saw pictures of Mussolini's fate and decided he would rather die than have that happen to him. On the 30 April, he committed suicide and had his body burned.
Could we please inject him with bleach and then shove a flashlight up his ass? Just to be safe.
Alas, in Florida it seems not to matter much what the people want. Perhaps this will be a break-through issue.
Ron's probably hoping for a HHS cabinet position under JV Dance.

🎶 Jeebus loves the little children
All the little children of the world!
If they're really, really white
They are special in his sight!
Jeebus loves the little children of the world! 🎵
Or, as it was sung by the US troops during the 1898 Filipino-American War:
Damn, damn, damn the Filipinos,
Cross-eyed kackiak ladrones,
Underneath the starry flag,
Civilize 'em with a Krag,
Then we'll all return to our beloved homes.
That's not how I learned it when I went to a hippy Jesus church, which, weirdly, was a Southern Baptist congregation in the early 70s.
Those nuns didn't teach us that version either. This is the New & Improved Christofascist verion.
Had it passed, that "Medical Freedom Act" would have gone right out the window with the return of the Black Death.
Florida did experience a resurgence of leprosy a few years ago, so definitely headed for that party like it’s 1349 vibe.

😤🤐🤮 I shouldn’t say what I want to say about him.

OT, completely useless POS

If he doesn't have primary challengers by the end of the day, then I don't know what the fuck we are doing as a political party.
Exactly! I'm sick of all this namby-pamby acting nice BS, why do they think we get steamrolled?

I hope he's lying.
He's assuming he will be the Speaker. I could see a potential Kevin McCarthy-like string of 15 or so votes to choose who it will be.
With a platform like this, Desantis is a shoe in.
Since he sold his sole to the debbil.
He's such a heel.
I'd rather he get the boot.
To the head.
Make America Germy Again!

Florida is better known for its Hep-A outbreaks.
The sign said “Employees Must Wash Hands”. I waited 20 minutes and so I left.
