@skado Given SCOTUS every move like this is now a checkmate and pushing back in the courts ultimately becomes an own-goal. We are fucked.

@Scott321
Maybe. We’ll see. But if the courts prove to be fully rogue like that, I expect “extra-legal” action will occur.

Yup, he is wanting to join Alabama and Mississippi, to see which state can have the most ignorant, uninformed residents, the easier for corrupt, lying pols to control and manipulate them.

@TomMcGiverin yes, that's exactly what he wants. He will get, too, by gerrymandering and other GQP tricks. I think it's time for Democrats to be as harsh and aggressive as Republicans. I'm tired of seeing them be so nice. It's not working.

@Organist1 I've been saying this for decades... This is not the 60s anymore. Asking nicely and appealing to conscience doesn't work anymore. Winning against the Repubs requires playing hardball and playing dirty sometimes, because winning really is everything now and people no longer respect someone who does not fight hard. They only respect warriors who get results, which is why Reagan was popular with the working class, even tho his policies weren't, because he was a warrior in how he did politics. Americans do not get nuance. They only get who appears to actually be fighting for them and who isn't. That is why Bernie Sanders and Trump were the most two popular pols in America in recent years. One was a total liar about fighting for the working class and the other wasn't. But what does that tell you about how people think when it comes to supporting pols? That what matters, even more than results, is who appears to be a fighter for their policies and who isn't.

@TomMcGiverin So true. Most Amercans only respect combative people. That's why they love WWF, guns, John Wayne, mud wrestling, etc. They don't respect art, music, or literature. It's an entire culture which rewards being brutish and ignorant. However, a very strong progressive government, I think, could turn things around politically. I will vote for Biden if he runs, but prefer someone else. Both he and Obama were too afraid of offending someone. As far as I'm concerned, if they offend republicans, well, good. The GOP would have a lot to fear from a strong progressive who applies the rule of law.

@Organist1 I am reading Biden's book "Promise Me, Dad" about the time his son Beau was diagnosed with cancer up to his decision not to run in the 2016 presidential election. I blame him, after reading this book, for Trump winning the presidency and starting this landslide into political hell! He would not have been my first choice in the primary, (I was a Bernie supporter). But I would not have had to hold my nose when I voted for Hillary either if he had won the nomination, which I am sure he would have. He had not only the experience and recognition as VP going for him, but he would have had the sympathy for having lost his son so recently. If Trump had gone after Biden on his family, the sane Republicans and Independents would have turned on Trump. He would have stood up to Trump better and had far less baggage going in than Hillary did. Putting a woman against a blow hard like Trump was just a bad idea. As I am finishing the book, I really am pissed that he didn't see that dynamic and go for it. Instead he inherited the scorched earth Trump left behind and a country that is in much deeper trouble than it was in 2016.

This is going to be interesting. How does Desantis get rid of universities without getting rid of college football, the true religion of the South?

They don't care and now that they have the Fascist stacked court, they are feeling pretty confident that they will win. Second Amendment untouchable, First Amendment dead in the water under Republican government.

That one is priceless, Larry!

....

Either those two or Cruz...

Perish the thought.

The nullifidian here has a good idea.

Trust a majority to be sane; we need only to persuade them to vote.

Indeed. And Joe Rogan endured him.

Not much interested in Rogan, but he was full on Bernie in 2019. Like it or not, he's an "influencer. '.

@racocn8 Anything like this that goes before our corrupted SCOTUS is sure to get the rubber stamp.

I'm not sure which of these I would go with:

7-Day-Adventure for Latter Day Sinners

Temple of Your Mama's Big Hiny

666th Congregation of Dawg

Eat My Sacred Shorts DeSantis You Sanctimonious Prick

@Flyingsaucesir DEF the last one!!!!

I can see it now, just like the Monty Python sketch, " We have three.... four chief weapons: Surprise.... and a fanatical devotion to De Santis and Trump!"..... I want the comfy chair, when they come for me....

Certainly fascism is at it's best or at it's worst for the vast majority of the people.

I don't care what the Government or super rich do. Almost always they stand down to me when confronted hard. Then when they try to twist my arm and try to make me say uncle, like with the unvaxxed me, it won't work because they are in the constitutional wrong. Once one knows what they are up to, the true winners are the ones who won't ever give up to their unethical practices.

I was recently told I'm causing anarchy. "TOTAL CHAOS!!!!" actually. My crime? I said to do away with the DEA and ICE.

I guess I need an ANTIFA CARD.

@TomMcGiverin Christ on crutches!

I read that the first ACLU suit was lost (Trump appointed Judge.) I assume they'll be appeals and I'm sending thoughts and prayers this doesn't get to SCOTUS. That be as worthless as thoughts and prayers.)

@SeaGreenEyez Unfortunately, our country is headed the wrong way. Glad you pointed out it was lost to a Trump Judge.
