Disagreed, but like other states, we do have our crooks. Trump was a crook and conspiracy theory nutjob enabler because he was one himself.
I was expecting Perry to come out yesterday (February 2nd), but he didn't show which means six more weeks of Republican winter.

obviously he would have the power to fine them for actions discriminating against candidates for Florida office.......every state that opposes fascism should do the same......

As is the censorship by the tech oligarchs.

can Florida pass a law making it illegal for someone to interfere in a Florida election?.......if you want to make sure DeSantis never again holds office you will have to move to Florida.......or use social media to block his campaign......

of course you should use your tools to bring you the government you want.....he only conflicts with YOUR interests.....

Fine whatever.
As long as it reigns in the little totalitarian wannabes in Silicon Valley.
LOL, no he doesn't. I know you guys love dictators, but you lost that one.
Come on Dutch, they’re all crooked at the top Abbot, Cruz, Cornyn, probably the least corrupt of the bunch, Patrick and Paxton, which of these is not corrupt?Disagreed, but like other states, we do have our crooks. Trump was a crook and conspiracy theory nutjob enabler because he was one himself.

Are you afraid of that question? Of course you are. You are whining and pooping your diaper because big Tech is not allowing traitors to use their platforms. They aren't allowing their platforms to be used to coordinate assassination attempts against members of Congress. Ball those little fists and hold your breath, loser.
Of course they can. Good luck defining 'interfering in a Florida election' as a private business making decisions about who they do business with. You are such a fucking twit.

Which is exactly the hazard we face when Republicans act like authoritarian Democrats.
At the end of Orwell's Animal Farm all the animals looked inside the house to see the pigs and the humans laughing and drinking together. After awhile the animals couldn't tell the difference between the pigs and the humans. Same goes for Republicans and Democrats now.

He had only one criticism, he said, to make of Mr. Pilkington's excellent and neighbourly speech. Mr.
Pilkington had referred throughout to "Animal Farm." He could not of course know−for he, Napoleon, was
only now for the first time announcing it−that the name "Animal Farm" had been abolished. Henceforward
the farm was to be known as "The Manor Farm"−which, he believed, was its correct and original name.
"Gentlemen," concluded Napoleon, "I will give you the same toast as before, but in a different form. Fill your
glasses to the brim. Gentlemen, here is my toast: To the prosperity of The Manor Farm! "
There was the same hearty cheering as before, and the mugs were emptied to the dregs. But as the animals
outside gazed at the scene, it seemed to them that some strange thing was happening. What was it that had
altered in the faces of the pigs? Clover's old dim eyes flitted from one face to another. Some of them had five
chins, some had four, some had three. But what was it that seemed to be melting and changing? Then, the
applause having come to an end, the company took up their cards and continued the game that had been
interrupted, and the animals crept silently away.
But they had not gone twenty yards when they stopped short. An uproar of voices was coming from the
farmhouse. They rushed back and looked through the window again. Yes, a violent quarrel was in progress.
There were shoutings, bangings on the table, sharp suspicious glances, furious denials. The source of the
trouble appeared to be that Napoleon and Mr. Pilkington had each played an ace of spades simultaneously.
Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the
faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man
again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Not exactly, but similar. Probably close enough for your feeble mind. That being said, politicians are not a protected class. Which is why your analogy is for simpletons. Perfect coming from you.

There are levels of corruption and cronyism along with incompetence**. Yes, they're all crooks but Paxton and Cruz are Trump authoritarians seeking to overthrow the US government.
Trump is Dr. Frankenstein. Although problems have been growing for 25 years, Trump called all the nutjobs together and enabled them. Mainline Republicans opposed him but were either kicked out in the 2018 midterm or bent the knee for Trump. In Cruz's case, he slapped his wife and sucked Trump's mushroom dick in public. The rest of the Republican party similarly knelt down to Trump. Now Trump is out but the Monster still exists.
It'll take a little time to kill the Monster....which will happen over the rest of the year.
