Meanwhile in Florida.

Yes, they are apparently hellbent on doing a real live version of an old Simpsons episode.

 

On a policy level if I was a conservative  hellbent on culture war issues this would be obvious evidence for the effectiveness of Desantis on waging them.

Fortunately or unfortunately republicans still seem hellbound to go with trump.

Lol, Republican Governor Justice might run against him.

I’m thinking someone couldn’t resist the headline because Manchin is the Democrat who votes like a Republican. Justice indeed.

Not really, no. Joe Manchin, whatever you may think of him, votes with his party far more often than not. Lots of people on the left hate him, but he is light years better for the left than any Republican West Virginia would produce.

Saw Lanny Davis - of all people - comment on the possible Trump indictment with Politico.  Since 2008 I've always loathed him (Davis, I mean), and to be clear he is Cohen's lawyer, but he made an argument that's hard to argue with.  Cohen was sentenced to three years for committing a crime that was - without question and demonstrably - on behalf of Trump.  Even if the jurisdiction and/or legal argument is unclear, somebody should prosecute the person actually responsible.  

Will prosecuting Trump lead to his incarceration?  Almost certainly not.  But should he be prosecuted by somebody for that crime?  Certainly, yes.  Saw Maher on Friday night wringing his hands that this will help Trump politically.  Maybe in the primaries, but anyone thinking getting indicted will help in a general election is an idiot.  It will/would undoubtedly hurt him if he gets that far.  We just have to see if Bragg has the balls to go through with it after Trump's fascist threats.

Similar to this other karmic event last week, when a judged blocked the abortion ban in Wyoming based on the fact that Wyoming's constitution has an amendment guaranteeing people the right to govern their own health care, which was introduced in 2012 in response to Obamacare.

Not a teen though?

And if it's revealed she was out to protect the children from drag shows and CRT? What then?

The suspect has been reported to be a teen female-

The Utah parent thanking legislators for making it easier to ban the dastardly bible, responded-

"We believe in the rule of law!"

^^^When the bill author complained the bible ban will make a mockery of his legislation.

Well yeah.... Thats kind of the point isnt it?:lmao:

To borrow a old Wyoming rancher slang-

"When you get a Republican on the other end of the line, just keep feeding him the rope and he'll take care of himself.":agree:
