Remember the good old days when there were only travel advisories and or ban for, what some would call, third word countries? Well now because of the vile vitriol of one Governor Ron DeSantis the state of Florida, a vacation destination, has received a travel advisory by the NAACP.
The wannabe future President has made the climate so venomous in Florida the anyone who is a part of any minority group does not feel safe in the state. Black, Brown, LGTBQ+, these are all groups that are under attack in the Sunshine State. The majority Republican legislature and their fearful leader has passed laws that make almost everything a jailable offence and the fact that the state has very loose gun laws and a stand your ground law makes it more dangerous than being a blonde female in central America.
Florida residents are able to carry concealed guns without a permit under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. The law, which goes into effect on July 1, means that anyone who can legally own a gun in Florida can carry a concealed gun in public without any training or background check. This with their ridiculous stand your ground law, ‘Florida’s “Stand-Your-Ground” law was passed in 2005. The law allows those who feel a reasonable threat of death or bodily injury to “meet force with force” rather than retreat. Similar “Castle Doctrine” laws assert that a person does not need to retreat if their home is attacked.’ Makes it really sketchy to go there.
This in top of the don’t say gay rule and the new trans ruling that just passed.
“Florida lawmakers have no shame. This discriminatory bill is extraordinarily desperate and extreme in a year full of extreme, discriminatory legislation. It is a cruel effort to stigmatize, marginalize and erase the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender youth. Let me be clear: gender-affirming care saves lives. Every mainstream American medical and mental health organization – representing millions of providers in the United States – call for age-appropriate, gender-affirming care for transgender and non-binary people.
“These politicians have no place inserting themselves in conversations between doctors, parents, and transgender youth about gender-affirming care. And at the same time that Florida lawmakers crow about protecting parental rights they make an extra-constitutional attempt to strip parents of – you guessed it! – their parental rights. The Human Rights Campaign strongly condemns this bill and will continue to fight for LGBTQ+ youth and their families who deserve better from their elected leaders.”
This law makes it possible for anyone to just accuse someone of gender affirming care to have their child taken from them this would include someone traveling from out of state. This alone justifies a travel ban to the Magic Kingdom for families.
Oh, and I haven’t even mentioned DeSantis holy war with Disney, the largest employer in the state. I really hope the Mouse eats this ass holes lunch.
Well that’s enough bitching, thanks again for suffering though my rant.

Viable Option (?)
Lyle Northey (Silent/Boomer)
There is debate over whether the 14th Amendment article 3 can disqualify Trump from office. The language in that statement is more clear and concise than the language in the Bible and the Supreme Court has no problem believing the Bible.
Why do we have to go through all this nonsense of indecision? Oh, that’s right we may upset a portion of the population that has a thing for being lied to, crapped on and generally f===ed over. Don’t believe me just ask all the people that are on trial with him about what a great person he is.
This is really about saving a nation from going down the tubes. We are being attacked in various ways by some of the more ruthless nations and the last thing we need is to have someone in the WH that is willing to hand over our nation for personal gain. He started to do that on his first term and he will continue if given the chance, as for all those that profess going to war if he is not put in office they deserve whatever fate is handed to them.
The fact that the social media used and accepted as truth by so many has been hacked by the Russians and the Chinese. World domination is the point of all this BS. We were able to govern our own nation and help others do the same, the ones that seem to have problems doing such things are more interested in taking over every nation for as yet unknown reasons.
If the idea is to own it and control it and the reason is because it is beautiful or unique then we must remember that it is unique because the people of the region make it so and that will all change when controlled by outside powers.
The use of social media by Trump to create problems for all that have and that could be involved in his ultimate downfall is absolutely vindictive in an attempt to get people to target the prosecutors, judges and witnesses that have amassed the evidence against him. I understand he doesn’t want to go to jail, what I don’t understand is why anyone of his followers thinks it is worth a trip to jail or worse to go and attempt to intimidate these people.
The police should make an effort to track down any and all for those actions be it a text message or a drive-by shooting and put that person in jail and see if their great leader comes to their rescue. It is highly unlikely as he seems to be only interested in saving his own hyde and no one elses, sons, wife, friends (?) if he has any or any one else.
As for the idea of putting Mr. Trump in jail for violation of court orders, why not. If we end up with a riot over the situation that means you have a full house and maybe some very sorry folks by the time the smoke clears. Before any of you get high and mighty about this there is a question you need to answer. Will any of you stand up for anyone else, the hungry, the homeless, the sick, the wrongly accused, if you won’t why are you on this wagon? At the end of the day all the others mentioned will be grateful, Trump will only find a way to steal something else from you.

Leader
Do you see yourself as a leader?
We have a shortage of leaders we have managers that do not understand the concept of leading. I was military and so was my father (NCOs) trained to lead by doing not telling, in business today they want managers not leaders that’s why I working for myself.

Revenge Politics
Dwain Northey (Gen X)
Now the RED HAT GOP is practicing revenge politics by starting an Impeachment Inquiry of Joe Biden. They have pretty much admitted that they have no grounds for an Impeachment, so this inquiry is a fishing expedition. Everything they say they have is made up bluster and even the people that their hearings have interviewed did not pan out with the damaging information that they hoped they would get.
The GOP spent 7 million of dollars and had 33 hearings of Hilary Clinton to prove absolutely nothing even admitting that they only did it to hurt Clinton. Now they are attempting the same level of nonsense with Biden.
The petty vindictive bullshit, the democrats Impeached Trump (twice) over obvious, provable offences so the radical right is going to impeach Joe Biden because… “well we don’t have anything, but we’ll find something.” That’s what they say the inquiry is for to manufacture evidence of a made-up charge. They are trying to ‘Minority Report’, this administration by simply fabricating imaged crimes.
They want to hold Joe guilty for the crimes of Hunter, crimes I might add that the GOP would never charge any other person with. They accuse him of interfering in Ukraine by having a prosecutor removed to help his son and benefit Burisma. It was the world court that help remove the corrupt prosecutor not Biden and his removal was actually a detriment to Burisma.
They screamed witch hunt over all the actual crimes of Trump now they a starting a witch hunt that there are no witches to hunt.
Fuck it let them try guess they don’t remember what the outcome of Impeaching Bill Clinton of a consensual BJ.
