They're Everywhere [Though a Lot Are In Florida] ... Part Six

Since they’re still at it, I’m still posting …

FLORIDA

I guess we should let it be known that you can take a gun  into a movie theater, and if another patron won’t get off his cell phone, and you confront him about it, and he tosses popcorn in your face, you can shoot him dead and be found not guilty.

That’s what happened this week to retired Tampa police officer … uh huh … who murdered Chad Oulson eight years ago.

Flori-duh.

ARIZONA

Governor Doug Ducey has no regrets about spending $500,000 to elect a GOP state senator, Wendy Rogers, with open ties to the white nationalist movement because, as he said, it’s still better than having a Democrat in her seat.

Ducey would rather a racist on office than a Democrat because racists stick together.

 FLORIDA

New statewide requirements on how race is discussed in schools, colleges and workplaces were approved by the Florida House this past week.

The legislation—which still needs Senate approval before going to DeSantis, who is certain to sign it into law—prohibits any teaching that could make students feel they bear personal responsibility for historic wrongs because of their race, color, sex or national origin.

I believe it’s the White Fragility Law.

Oh, and fuck Flori-duh.

UNITED STATES

Thing 45 recently launched Truth Social as a stand against censorship and for Free Speech.

Within hours they had already banned a used for creating an account called @DevinNunesCow.

Free Speech unless you hurt Devin Nunes’ feelings.

OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor is reviewing dozens of books found in public school libraries to determine whether they violate state obscenity law. Books like … Of Mice and Men and Lord of the Flies … and newer titles that cover LGBTQ and social justice issues.

In 2018, O’Connor was nominated by Thing 45 to the federal bench but he did not get a hearing after the American Bar Association rated him “not qualified” on the grounds of “professional competence and integrity.”

He was appointed Oklahoma Attorney General in July 2021 by GOP Governor Kevin Stitt and immediately joined a suit to block Biden’s vaccine mandates.

Oklahoma, not okay.

FLORIDA

In an 11-point plan outlining the future agenda of the GOP, Senator Rick Scott proposes banning all government collection of racial data. The proposal would also remove all data on race from the US Census Bureau’s next population count in 2030.

He wants to erase the races in this country.

OHIO

Senate candidates Josh Mandell, a Republican, Morgan Harper, Democrat, participated in a debate last week and things got, um, interesting.

Mandel declared that “the only country on the whole planet where Africans were not brought as slaves” was the “Jewish state of Israel.”

Israel declared its independence in 1948.

Harper refused to shake Mandel’s hand after it was over because stupid is also a virus.

TEXAS

January 6 rioter Jenna Ryan claims that she was denied “basic human needs” while in jail over charges related to the Capitol attack.

What was she denied? Basic needs like “sunshine, phone, food.”

And she claims she was tortured in prison … possibly because she couldn’t access her Instagram.

Get educated and save yourselves from The Stupids.

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE.

  1. I know the surnames are spelt differently but is Governor Ducy a relative of that brainless twit on Fox News?

    I am really glad that there are no problems in the world to stop people checking out books. Too many Repugnants seem to have learnt a lot from Goebbels....the next big thing will be Margarine burning books outside of Congress.

  2. What the hell is wrong with some people in the fucking county?!?!?! There is no rational or common sense thinking and it's sickening.

    And let's us not forget that the "Don't Say Gay" bill passed in Flori-Duh! And this is what people are paying their politicians to do.

  4. That statement by Mandel is truly bewildering.

    I can't imagine being a high school history teacher in Florida and having to address the subject of slavery with THAT ridiculous law on the books. I don't see how it would survive an appeals court challenge.

    Different names, some stupidity.

    @Maddie
    When they hate, or fear, the same people, it’s easy to get elected and pass Hate Bills.

    @TDM
    The Neverending Dumb.

    @Steve
    Isn’t that the dumbest thing ever?
    Between the Don’t Say Gay and Don’t Teach Black History the state of Flori-duh will be spending a lot of time in court.

  6. Arizona by a nose at the finish line, if you ask me. I do believe Wendy Rogers was at the Nazi fest with MTG and Gosar, though she wasn't listed as a speaker.

  7. The incommensurable stupidity of some people never ceases to take me by surprise. Stupidity, ignorance and the inability to face the truth.
    Florida is such a hellhole.

    XOXO

  8. I read this stuff and am gobsmacked. Is that first story true? Is that possible? I fear for us all. So... Florida and Arizona, huh... oh, and Oklahoma. It's hard to imagine fruit hanging lower, but thanks for leaving Georgia, Alabama, West Virginia, and Mississippi alone. You'd need a whole new blog for those stories. Fight the good fight, dear. Kizzes.
