That works great as long as Right-wingers stay in power. They have this overwhelming arrogance that tells them they will NEVER leave office, but then they always manage to be so terrible at governing that they eventually get kicked out. Then all those oppressive laws can be used against them, if Dems could muster up any sense of courage.

He didn't "authorize" anything. That's not how laws or public policies are created. He's just bloviating like all MAGA Nazis. If it actually happened, the person would be prosecuted based on the law, and their defense of "The governor said it was okay!" would not be accepted by the judge.

Florida has Castle Doctrine AND Stand Your Ground. Anybody comes into your home or vehicle, give them an overdose of lead.

I don't understand how these MAGA Morons can't figure out that these laws they want are two-edged swords. If they can use it against normal people, then normal people can use it against them, too.

Guy is a fucking roofer, and he's voting to kick out all foreigners. What a putz.

I was in roofing for a few years, and believe me, you want a Mexican ( or some other south of the border) crew working on your roof. They are fast, quiet, efficient, and fast. They will get it done, and get it done right.

Only a terrible businessman, and really stupid person would vote for the guy who is expressly saying that he intends to hurt your workers, and your business. "Yep, Im voting for the guy who is promising to ruin my business!"

This guy deserves everything he gets.

It's important to remember that it isn't your citizenship or documentation that is the problem, it is your origin. If you were born somewhere else, they want you out, no matter what your legal situation is. Once they get done rounding up the undocumented, they will come for the rest. They don't even respect birthright citizenship, which is baked into the Constitution, they certainly aren't going to respect green cards or naturalized citizenship.

If you were born someplace else, you are unwelcome by the MAGA Nazis, and they will send you back, citizen or not.

I haven't been to a show in over 25 years, but I saw Yes three times, Elton John three times, Prince twice, but Pink Floyd only once, all at the peaks of their popularity in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Sounds about right. Good analysis.

Dehumanizing is always the first step. Male them less than human and the people will let you abuse them. Once they get used to that, you can demonize the next group, and it will be even easier to get the rubes on board.

Sure is great he solved Biden's non-existent inflation by raising prices on everything by 55%. Making America Expensive Again.

They have "kit cars," which are all the parts you need to build a fancy vehicle on the chassis and drive train of a normal car. When I was young, Ford Pintos were common chassis for kit cars.

I can buy that. I fully believe that from their beginning, Israel has known that someday they will have to clear out the Palestinians, and Oct 7 provided the excuse for them to finally say "Today's the day."

I also fully believe that they've had that same mindset toward the rest of the Middle East. They know that eventually they will have to settle their differences with their Muslim neighbors, and it won't be with good-faith negotiations. And the Muslim countries have the exact same mindset. It is only a matter of time before they go at each other full force, and this Gaza Genocide does look like a dress rehearsal.
