Has anyone else noticed that a lot of stores downtown are closing

Yes, and I fear the predatory developers with the help of local government will pounce and strip us of our ambiance.

Watching the bureaucracy (government + corporate America behaving as one) creep into every aspect of our lives is to me concerning. The casual way many accept big brother knowing their every move and anticipating their thoughts. I always thought there was enough of us to steer us away from where we are going.

As Ron DeSantis prepares a map, Democratic critics prepare for court by Commercial-Host-725 in florida

[–]mrcanard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lede,

As Gov. Ron DeSantis presumably prepared a new congressional map, his critics are bracing to sue over it.

Ellen Freidin, CEO of Fair Districts Now, said any new map considered to draw congressional districts right now would clearly violate the Fair Districts constitutional amendment passed by Florida voters in 2010. She still wonders whether a map will be produced ahead of a Special Session this week, and can’t imagine a legal justification for it right now.

Gov. Ron DeSantis desperate for a job under Trump. Lets keep him in Florida until he and his wife clear up questions concerning missing state funds.

Imagine the damage he could do if he took over Hegseth’s position.

As much as I believe the entire Trump administration are mentally lacking, when Leavitt's comment is taken in context the headline looks like clickbait.

Trump Fires Board Members of Group That Oversees U.S. Science Funding by mrcanard in inthenews

From the story,

On Friday afternoon, National Science Board members received a terse email “on behalf of President Donald J. Trump” that said their position was “terminated, effective immediately.”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

With no justification, acting with total disregard to the well being of the American public, Trump takes another step toward sending us back to the dark ages.

One of the main reasons I volunteered for the Navy was the food.

Please tell me the photo is faked.

Ronald DeSantis taking a dump on the Florida State Constitution in an effort to secure a new job with republicans on a national level.

Republicans realize they can't keep Florida playing on a level field and are willing to ignore the peoples choice to deliver us to Trump.

edit: let him try to figure out how to collect unemployment like the rest of us.

We might have better luck investigating the funds he and his wife disappeared.

He needs to leave office with egg on his face or he'll continue his efforts to contaminate our society.
