Yup! The only one I left blank!
As you consider voting, just a reminder about Wilton Simpson

Common Sense... so rare it's like a super power
Looks like he won. GARY.

Today (1/10/23) on the news they reported he wants to place a $10,000 fine on any credit card company using a code on gun and ammo purchases in Florida each time they use one!
Sounds like he’s supporting us to me…

The prevailing wind in Florida is DeSantis, and this is a DeSantisian move. SOMEBODY has to be the GOP nominee for governor in 2026 after all.
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
I wish that DeSantis would NOT run in 2024. I am so fed up with the Republican party that I want to see it totally blown up and dismantled at the Federal level (keep the down-ballot candidates at the state and local levels). The only way that will happen though is for Trump to run as a 3rd party candidate, and the MAGA politicians rally around him. It will be a resounding loss for both the 3rd party and the Republican party, but it will completely break down the shit-show that is the Republican party. Yes, the Dems will have all control, but so what? They have it now through chicanery anyways. Better to see the likes of McCarthy and McConnell shit all over.
Well whether DeSantis runs for prez (and wins) in '24 or not, the GOP will need a nominee for FL governor in '26. So they are all going to pose as DeSantis II, given the success of that brand here.tcpip95 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 4:52 pmI wish that DeSantis would NOT run in 2024.

This. ^^^
Even the most ignorant gubernatorial candidate can see the success DeSantis has enjoyed here and his popularity nationwide. Look for Republican hopefuls across the country to try and emulate him. Simpson is just an opportunist like Charlie Crist - hoisting his sail to catch any wind that'll blow him in the direction he wants to go. Remember how narrowly DeSantis beat the bisexual crackhead in 2018? My guess is Simpson didn't want to advance any gun bills as Senate President because it might have hurt his ambitions for higher office with the moderate Democrats and independents. Now that he sees which way Florida is going, I bet he's going to hold himself out as the champion of all things conservative.
This response to the credit card companies is not unique, and it's not Simpson's idea - he just happens to be in the state job that handles consumer affairs, so he's the logical one to make the announcement. There's a whole coalition of states that are pushing back on this - here's a news report from three months ago out of Tennessee:
Sounds about right, Odessaman. It will be this clown, Ashley Moody, and God knows who else. Maybe Pam Bondi will come back, too.
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
Yep - I can see that slate. Bondi is hitting just enough soft balls on Fox News as a "guest analyst" to stay relevant to low info voters.
