I really really fucking hate this cunt, to the point that I found myself willing trump on when he was giving him shit. If you make trump look like less of a shithouse in comparison you're a proper fucking rotter.
I don't really understand how he's got where he is, the man is a complete charisma vacuum which is another reason why trump will beat him in the primaries - trump might not appeal to us but he is charismatic in a really odious right wing way.

he's leaning on his ivy league arrogance (Yale and Harvard) while posturing as the plain peoples' champion. it's a winning combination (ted cruz, josh hawley). he likes to use tough-guy language from time to time, and has picked a topic (anti-wokism) that gets easily riled up people really riled up (unlike, say, lowering marginal tax rates).

Nice bit of payback - hope it spreads in those states who like to ban books
Utah primary schools ban Bible for 'vulgarity and violence'
The ban followed a parental complaint that the book has content unsuitable for children.

Yes, but they bash the Book of Mormon in Utah not the Bible, which is probably regarded as subversively and heretically woke.
55% of Utah volk are Mormons 23% have no religious affiliation and only 7% are Evangelical Christians.
Who’s in the pew in Utah?
Utah has flourishing religious communities with a majority of people in the state attending church

Nah Mormons read and study the bible more than most Christians. They're very much in favour of it, they just don't think it's the last word on everything.

I think the people who like him are people who were bullies in high school, or at least, that's been my experience of the people I know who support him. They like him because he's an asshole and makes people suffer, as long as its someone else doing the suffering.

Sheriff files criminal charges over Florida’s transport of migrants from San Antonio to Massachusetts
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office didn’t say who it has accused of unlawful restraint in connection with last year’s flight to Martha’s Vineyard paid for by Florida. On Monday, California announced it’s investigating similar flights from El Paso to Sacramento.
www.texastribune.org
After over eight months of investigation, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department in Texas has recommended that the DA bring criminal charges relating to DeSantis’s political stunt of gathering asylum seekers and sending them to blue enclaves. In September 2022, at DeSantis’s instruction, 49 migrants were flown from Texas (yes Texas, not Florida) to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts without any advance notice to that community.

there are questions
There are still a lot of questions surrounding how the Florida Governor’s administration was able to fly three dozen migrants from Deming, New Mexico to California.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ administration has taken responsibility for flying 36 migrants from New Mexico to California’s capital. State leaders for both New Mexico and California said they had no notice.

I think Randy has too much fun creating these videos, as tedious to produce as they are.
Mr. Conductor of the Woke Train has decided to shift the gears and eliminate governmental departments now. Allegedly.
DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president

The Republicans have been trying to close those agencies for a long time. Usually, they include the Department of Agriculture too, preferring to eliminate farm programs and food safety laws. As far as I can tell they only want the Department of Defense, and the judiciary for resolving disputes between the billionaires and corporations that will own everything.
I think I may have to start a thread for Grey Abbot in Texas. He's cut from the same cloth as DeSantis. Abbot's recent "victory" is eliminating local ordinances that require that construction workers get regular water breaks. The local laws were passed because of a rash of deaths from heat stroke and dehydration in the Texas sun. They tried to get a state law passed, but they never got it through.
As Texas swelters, local rules requiring water breaks for construction workers will soon be nullified
Gov. Greg Abbott approved a law this week that will eliminate city and county ordinances like Austin’s and Dallas’ mandated water breaks.
www.texastribune.org
Even the measley 10 minutes for water every four hours was too much for them to allow. In a state that regularly gets 100F+ days for months of the year, 10 minutes seems too little to me. Now they have no guarantees. It should come as no surprise that most construction workers in Texas as Mexican laborers. I'm a little surprised that federal law doesn't cover that. On the other hand, I remember working in a warehouse in Nebraska in the summer and they didn't give us water breaks. The only concession we got was they would open up the dock doors when it got over 100F.

That is also just a ducking weird video. Big "boomer who saw some memes a few years ago" energy.
That may well be their target demographic of course.

Yuwipi Woman - Now that you mention it, I remember reading some time ago that different agencies were on the chopping block. But we're going back a while. I forgot about it, honestly.
Regarding water breaks - there should to be some federal labor law (regardless of work status) where states that get 100°F+ heat and humidity, you need a minimum 10 cooling break if you're working outside. Plus your normal breaks. I know it's too little time to cool down, but sometimes a cup of ice and some water is all you need with a chair. I've been in that situation and sometimes after 15 minutes, you don't want to get back up and get back to work.
The current law is and how I understand it to be, is for every 8 hours of work, you are "entitled" to two 10 minute "freebie" breaks (on the clock) and one thirty minute lunch off the clock. Whether you take those 10 minutes or not, that's your deal. BUT again, if you're in a high heat environment, there should be some ruling where you must take those breaks, if not more because of dehydration and such, so that you can continue working. It would make sense to enact something like that, for the risk of losing workers to medical emergencies is far greater.
Seeing how locally, in the past month alone, it's hit 100 - 105°F every day. Last week I got into my car after work (5pm) and it was 101. You can't breathe when it's like that. So I can only image what the workers in Texas must be dealing with as I was doing outside work at my previous job and we got days where it was over 95F plus the days it poured so hard that you had to work the rest of your shift in wet clothes (where you're soaked to the bone and everything on your body is drenched).

A (snowbird) friend in Michigan is on the phone with my mother right now... She gave her local weather report saying it's rainy and very hazy. The haze is due to the Canadian wildfires, "but it's better than what's going on in Florida".
What's going on?
She said "big news - your governor signed a bill Friday that will have all the roads in Florida paved with radioactive waste.. which can kill you!"
First off, he's not "my" governor. That phrase is like nails to a chalkboard to me because Florida isn't my home and I don't consider it my home. I've been in a bad holding pattern for 12 years and I'm desperately trying to get out. Florida is not my home so anything that happens to the penis state is not "mine". It can be my mother's, since she loves it here.
Anyway, I googled it. The woman is close to being correct: (it has to go through a year's worth of other studies)
Florida moves forward on radioactive road paving plan as Gov. DeSantis signs new law (NPR)
"Radioactive" roads made of potentially cancer-causing mining waste could be headed to Florida under new bill (CBS News Miami)
Florida bill allowing radioactive roads made of potentially cancer-causing mining waste signed by DeSantis (CBS News Miami)
NPR: Fertilizer byproduct roads for Florida? (Nuclear Newswire article from May 2023)
Google articles are saying similar things.. they keep referencing other sites...
*eta: our friend's quote came out as "call you". I edited to say "kill you", which is what she actually said. Damn autocorrect.

As a teenager (starting at 14) I worked detasseling corn (for the non-farm kids, it's part of the hybridization process seed companies use to produce seed). I'd spend weeks every summer pulling the tassels off corn in 95–100-degree heat. They would irrigate the fields so sometimes you'd be hip deep in water, and, depending on the farmer, water mixed with pig slurry. Sometimes they'd be spraying nearby fields so an airplane would pass very low overhead and drop its load, sometimes you'd get to breath some drift for a while. I don't recall water breaks, per se, but there'd be someone with a water dipper at the end of a field making sure everyone got some water. It's all part of how a poor kid makes enough money to get an education in the US, so they don't have to work jobs like that.

They can, but in this case the maths is it took probably a lot of funding, a willing legislature, local and national media, and then 11 people.

One of the most terrifying horrific things I know is the fact that R.D.S makes me feel better about trump.
Not much better mind you. I just find trump to be bladerunner terrible rather than handmaid's tale horrible.
