Critical thinker, way too interested in politics and world news. Anti-Trump, anti-cruelty, LGBTQ ally. Love to travel and get my feet wet.

They are pumping fresh water out of the natural aquifers and paving over the land that helped to sustain them. Insufficient storm drainage, built-up coastal areas on unstable soil, terrible and corrupt state government doing nothing to help the people. Total shit-show.

Do you remember that condo that imploded? That one kept me up all night. Turns out the issue was known, was a safety hazard for sure, and the condo board couldn't or wouldn't pay to fix it. Terribly lax and unenforced building codes.

The Florida man thing started because of their "Sunshine" law, meaning everything is made public. Theoretically, of course. Doesn't apply to the rich or well-connected. In my US travels, it seems like stupidity seems to happen most often near the water. Sad, because that's where I want to be!

Seems like he also wins court cases by threatening. Threatens your finances because he has deeper pockets, or your livelihood or your merger or whatever. If someone doesn't fold and settle, do any of the cases make it to discovery?

Also extremely high property insurance, if you can even get it. A lot of those mortgages are going to be underwater and some of the homes as well, quite literally. Can you imagine a Governor Byron Donalds or Casey DeSantis? What a nightmare.

Press conference with Starmer. Does Trump not know how hideous he looks?
pmvine π πΊπ¦ π (@pmvine.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe so. Florida seems like a jumping point for what's been happening nationwide since the advent of the Tea Party. DeSantis was one of the originals when he was in the House, and Trump's lending his influence as well. Florida's not known for a real high level of intelligence.

Some good news on that front. There's a large PAC interested in trying to turn the state at least purple in the next cycle with a large investment. We'll be doing our part, and we'll see how it goes.

Wouldn't the state legislators have to approve something like that? If so, it wouldn't stand a chance here. They like things just the way they are.

Do you think Reagan and the Fairness Doctrine had much to do with that? Citizen's United?
pmvine π πΊπ¦ π (@pmvine.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed, and it's another thing the democrats have to consider going forward. Biden was a great supporter of the unions, but who did they endorse? Trump. That's why I think the democrats should nominate a governor next time. Not an elitist and absolutely not Newsom.
pmvine π πΊπ¦ π (@pmvine.bsky.social) reply parent
But will they change their vote when elections roll around again? Will they blame Trump or buy the party line that it's still somehow the Democrats' fault? Sometimes I think that it will take generations for anything to really change.
pmvine π πΊπ¦ π (@pmvine.bsky.social) reply parent
I have to think this one over. I both agree and disagree. In my state, we don't have much choice in political parties, but then again, many people don't vote because of that perception. We also don't get much campaign money or good candidates because it's a losing proposition. Hmm.
pmvine π πΊπ¦ π (@pmvine.bsky.social) reply parent
There were too many unforced errors. The democrats need to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
pmvine π πΊπ¦ π (@pmvine.bsky.social) reply parent
And without a social safety net. Republicans made sure that the worst would not happen before the midterms, but red states will be hit the hardest. I agree that money and campaigns need to be more specifically targeted, but what good does that do when so many voters just stay home?

Germany isn't too fond of him either.
pmvine π πΊπ¦ π (@pmvine.bsky.social) reply parent
And Republicans took credit for those that did, even if they voted against the funds in the first place. Democrats still seem to believe that their good works will be noticed by the general populace who pay no attention to policy or the bigger picture. Foolish and likely to ruin us all.

They will be if there isn't another government bailout. The farmers are facing bankruptcy. No more soybean sales to China. Huge tariffs on fertilizer sales from Canada. No migrants working in the fields. It almost seems planned.

Netanyahu knows that Trump will never cut Israel's funding. Rubio made that very clear. I guess the US will join Israel as a pariah state. Isn't that what Trump is working towards?

I thought they already dumped the NFL over male cheerleaders, but they're still kicked back in the Lay-Z-Boy with a six-pack. Performative outrage.

Netanyahu made comments about Israel's status on the world stage in the face of mounting outrage about Gaza. Instead of changing positions, he said that Israel must become self-sufficient. He's fine with Israel becoming a pariah state. The blood lust is real.

I was raised by Republicans and we had guns. Never violent, of course. We know that this kid was. I just don't want to be like MAGA in any way. Their glee in preemptively attacking the left was sickening.

I know that Nick Fuentes had a real problem with Charlie Kirk. Way to early to tell what the kid's motivation was. I'm relieved that he is more than likely far-right, but I don't want to jump the gun either. (Too soon?)

Hard to overstate what a humiliating few weeks Donald Trump has had on the foreign policy front. Putin steamrolled him at the Alaska summit, hasn't let up in Ukraine, and now is toying with Poland. Modi had a big photo op with Xi. Netanyahu launched a strike in Qatar without telling him.

You're right. Newsom for Prison 2028 doesn't quite have the same ring to it. If the administration does interfere with elections in 2026 and beyond, relying on democratic leadership isn't very reassuring at the moment.

I wonder if all it took was a threat by Trump to primary Lindsey. I read that he's frightened of losing his career with no partner, children, or close friends outside of politics. Still a radical turn after his close relationships with Biden and McCain. I like the Raven reference!
